Hiding Apps

Anyone knows how to hide apps in Note 3? I'm used to that feature in Note 2. Couldn't get it in Android 4.3.1

I also saw this feature on the Note 3 but could not find it now. I did see it before though.
When you are in your apps tap the menu key and hit Un install disable

Hey there,
Go into your app Drawer.
Hit your menu key.
Then tap on the uninstall/disable apps
Please don't forget to say thanks

I did that. If I did that then the option that follows is to uninstall the application.
Doesn't work. I hit the button but it uninstalls the app. I need to hide few stock apps which I don't use.

Searched for that too.
Don't think it is possible on he Note 3, I couldn't find it.
This is weird because when I was at the Electronics shop and was playing around with the Note 3 that was out on Display it did have the option to hide apps but now I can not find it on my own Note 3. If I am not mistaken I had also seen it on my Note but looked every where for this feature and it just seems to have vanished.

Recent Apps On Home Button?

Does anyone know how to set the home button so when you long press it, it will send you to your recent apps menu? Before I rooted the phone when I long pressed the home button it would open the recent apps menu? But ever since I rooted it only opens up Google now, or a single click opens up Magazine? Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Did you install Xposed framework by any chance?

Any way to change delay when holding home for recent apps??

Hi, im running xnote v8 and was wondering, if there is anything available wether as an add on, wanam module or root app or an in rom tweak that can shorten the delay between when holding the home button to bring up the recent apps as I find it too long even on stock touchwiz.

Also interested.
Have the same thing here

I use xposed framework, and the module xposed aditions, you need root for this
When ever I tap on xposed aditions, it judt gives me a little prompt saying "This module does not provide a user interface" the module was already installed with the ROM I believe, tried Uninstalling it then reinstalling it but it doesnt uninstall although it says it does. And updating it doesnt work either as it saying "an existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is installed.
Any advice?

the reason there is delay when you press home button, is because system is waiting to see if it's double press to bring up voice command screen. There is a menu where you can disable double click and that should make wait much shorter, but I can't remember which menu is it ATM. This works on stock, I can't help with custom software.
Look in the Play store for Switcher. You can swipe from the bottom, left or right side of screen to open recent apps.

just install nova launcher or go launcher ex and create a gesture, one or two fingers sliding up to show the recent apps. a lot more convenient and quicker to access recents.

This seems like a much better option than trying to map a double click of the home key. Here's to hoping it works!

Select two or more language and be sure that you saved and selected the languages, then in keyboard slide your finger on the space button either left or right to select the next language selected in your settings.
Hit "Thanks button" if this helped you.

There is a problem with your firmware .
Your firmware is damaged! You better update our flash a new firmware.
Its a problem with accessibility options. If you have installed greenify for example will cause this problem. Try removing any apps from accessibility or use another keyboard.

Not sure but I reset the phone and it still does it
could be a bug in the version rom you have, try an older or newer version?
