I have had my Nexus for about a month now maybe a little bit more. I have one problem I don't have pre installed app icons like contacts or camera, I know they are installed because I can add the contacts widgets, and I got the Nexus 7 camera launcher app. There is also other apps I have installed that I can't see the icons, and a couple I have un installed that the icons are still there. I am running stock but I am rooted

Your contacts are the 'People' app. Make sure you are looking at 'Apps' in the app drawer. 'Widgets' is another category. If you go to Settings > Apps > All, do you see the apps you think should be there? As to uninstalling, simply removing the shortcut from a screen does not uninstall. You can long-press a shortcut on a screen and choose 'Uninstall'.
I did not realize the name was changed, weird. They are on that list. I have tried reinstalling to no luck.

In the file list under Settings > Apps > All, touch one of the non-displaying apps and Force stop (if running), Clear Data, Cache, and Defaults (if active). Restart and check the app drawer again. Also, are you using a replacement launcher like Nova or Go? They may have custom settings for the app drawer to hide apps.

I was just wondering if any of y'all know how to remove some apps icons from the app menu? For instance better keyboard or some live wallpapers I've installed. I just wanna remove things that you can access from the settings. Thanks for your time.

I'm running LP (not sure if TW has this feature) and if you hit the
setting button > preferences > general settings> Hidden Apps > Choose the apps you want and hide them. I hid a lot it really comes in handy like swype tips.
I don't have launcher pro (which I'm assuming LP is) I'm using the default Touchwiz.

Touchwiz is a slow, uncustomizable, piece of junk. Use lp or adw

Though I'm a fan of anderwebs, I find launcher pro to be a better product. It comes with its own widgets and is very smooth. You can also hide apps in your app drawer.

I also use LaucherPro but I will also actually answer your quesiton.
Go into the App List and press
Menu>View Type>Cutomizable grid
Then press
Menu>Edit
You'll see little red minus signs on icons that can be removed. When you've gotten rid of the ones you don't want, just hit Menu>Save and you're all set. Of course, this means that you'll have to move the icons of new apps if you like the alphabetical list.
Is any one else missing apps that used to be in the Apps drawer. These are apps that are still installed and I can access through app manager or widgets. The apps I am all of a sudden missing are Lattitude, Places, calendar (the blue original one), Faves, and probably others. I am wondering if anyone has these all of a sudden missing and if there is any way to get the icons back? Thanks for any help!
I've noticed apps disappearing in the Sense/Espresso app drawer, but can't recall if they were stock apps or not.
I'm damn sure that some apps I install from the Market do not show up in the Sense/Espresso app drawer if I install them while in LauncherPro. I can see them in app manager, etc., but they're absent from the app drawer. I have to be in LauncherPro's app drawer in order to see everything I have installed.
Very weird, but this is my 1st HTC device, and I'm running LP as my default. Would still like to know why this is, and if there's anything that can be done to make all apps visible.
Has anyone noticed that some of your paid apps are missing from the app drawer? The only way I can find some of them is to go into the Play Store and search for the app and open it that way. It shows as being installed but doesn't show in the app drawer. They aren't disabled and hidden because of that. I noticed this problem both before and after rooting. I'm still using the stock launcher though. Perhaps they would show up in Nova Prime?

I finally got my apps to appear. In the app drawer hit the menu button. Click on Hide/Show apps. Hide the app that is hidden already but not shown being hidden. Go to the home screen and then back into the app drawer and Hide/Show apps. Uncheck the hidden apps and they'll magically appear in your app drawer.

Hi,
I cant seem to find the option to hide the apps in the app drawer. Coming from an S3, I was able to go into the menu and select hide/unhide apps.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

It was there before but seems to have vanished now.
If it does not work to go to the app drawer and press menu, then I would suggest a aftermarket launcher. That's the best I cam some up with, I don't own a Note 3.

ive been wondering the same thing. I cant seem to figure it out either
Hey Guys,
On the Note 3 there has been a bit of a change:
• Hide applications (replaced with disable applications, which is now combined with uninstall applications as an option)

There are some nice enough developers to include a option to hide an icon from a Live Wallpaper settings. But that's only with about 20% of them. The rest are just creating a mess there. I have a lot of these Live Wallpapers, I often like to change the looks of my home screen.
It has become really hard to find apps, well you either have to slowly browse through them all to find what you have installed, or remember the names of the apps. I think Google should give users an option to hide and manage hidden apps. Or is there already a way? (without rooting)
You can hide apps by going to settings, apps and selecting the app you desire and press disable. Those that are disabled won't appear on your app menu. This feature is on stock ROM or not.

I'm on android 4.4.2 and there is no such option. And wouldn't that disable the app altogether from usage?
