i want hide some app from the app drawer but i don't want install an alternative luncher or an app that hide app
anyone know how do this???
thanks
I don't know, but I really sugest to use a different launcher, like Launcher pro, its much better then TW and you can hide apps
You need an app or some other launcher to do it
I recommend hide it pro ( free app - market )
thanks i will try!!
Okay, so I know this has been asked before, I've been searching XDA and googling and have found some threads on the topic, but most of them are old and unresolved. So I'm reaching out to see if maybe there's a new development that I haven't been able to find.
Is there any known way to HIDE apps from the app drawer of a stock launcher? I know that Launcher Plus Pro and some other home replacements have this feature built in, but I'm using Virtuous Unity and am really happy with Sense 3.0 at the moment.
It seems like such a basic function, I can't believe there's a) no native feature to do this; and more surprisingly b) there's no 3rd party app that will do this?
I've found some apps that 'hide' your drawer apps (i.e. Hide It Pro) but this not only hides the app from the drawer, but makes it so you can only launch the hidden app from within the app that's hiding it (meaning you have to go into Hide It Pro to launch the hidden app).
I'm using wave launcher and swipepad for my most used apps and games, and would ideally like to remove these apps from the app drawer so they're not cluttering it up, but STILL BE ABLE TO LAUNCH THE APPS from the alternate launcher/shortcuts. With Hide It Pro I was able to remove the apps from the app drawer, but was then unable to launch that app from wave launcher for example.
My reasoning for wanting to do this is not confidentiality/privacy, but rather just to clean up my drawer/app system. Ideally I want my most used apps to be accessed via the secondary launchers (wave and swipepad) and just have the other, less-used apps in the app drawer. Is this possible?
at the moment, I dont think its possible...but I may be wrong. the best current solution would be to use a diff launcher, but yeah it sucks because all the sense widgets would disappear when trying to add them to homescreens (but the apps still work fine). keep us updated if you find a solution, I would like to know as well
Unfortunately I did not find a way to do it too. I am using Go Launcher EX. It can hide apps from the drawer, and still you can launch them from the home screen or elsewhere.
Thanks for the replies. Yeah from my research it doesn't really seem possible. It seems like it should be a pretty basic function but oh well. Thanks anyway guys.

This might be of interest to you. [APP][30 JUL]ALTDRAWER 0.7.1 Alternative APP DRAWER [Perfect for MIUI] [Many options] - xda-developers http://bit.ly/qvK3KS
Thanks for that, I came across that during my research. Seems cool and if it replaced the default app drawer I'd be all over it. But I don't want a homescreen icon as my app drawer. But thanks for the suggestion!!

Is there a way?
I dont think it is possible. Ive not seen anything on it anyways using the stock launcher.
The only things i can think of would be to use another launcher since they let you hide the apps. Or if you want to keep using the stock launcher and you have root you can freeze the apps and they will disappear from the app drawer.
Then you can just unfreeze them if you want to use them / get them back in the app drawer.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Freezing them hides it? Never knew that.
Thanks.
I find myself using and enjoying the Qslide Apps on the the G2 quite a bit- especially the calculator and phone. If I install a new rom not based off the LG version, I will give up the Qslide Apps functionality. Is there any third party app/module that allows you to launch a few certain apps from the notification dropdown and keep it on a small window ontop of the active window like Qslide Apps do?
When I install 3rd party app, I want them see on main screen. But now I have to go to settings, aps, then open.
Use Sideload Launcher by Chainfire. Its like an app drawer.
