How to hide apps in 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)

Note 3 Widgetlocker problem

Having a problem with Widgetlocker on my Note 3...
Installed Widgetlocker via direct purchase from teslacoilsw.com. Software is installed & basically 'works', but I'm unable to pull up the Add menu via long press. Tool mode and/or lockscreen...neither pull up the Add menu. What's strange is I get some haptic feedback during long press in tool mode and if I tap around a bit & can get random stuff to happen (like adding an app shortcut to the screen). It's like the menu is 'there' but it's not visible or something. Any suggestions?

Reinstalled & all's good now...nm. (mods, delete post if needed)
~thx

Hi,having the same problem...for my case if you used custom wallpaper then the add menu is like hidden behind the wallpaper,maybe you need to check using custom wallpaper first

Sent the dev an email and he's looking into it. I found that using an alternate wallpaper doesn't do good either.

Would love to be able to send the developer and email. After figuring a way to install on the Note 3, since it shows unavailable for Note 3 on "play" - now I have the pull down notification bar sitting "behind" whatever I add to my Widgetlocker screen...making the pull down virtually unusable...maybe if you could tell me how to submit this to developer...?

On the play store I believe there is a link. As a work around I hide the notification bar and use Dashclock. I also think the dev just became a "daddy" so we may have to wait a bit.

I was wondering how you could hide the lockscreen notification bar.
I am using nova launcher prime and that easily lets me hide the homescreen notification bar but I couldn't figure out how to disable it on lockscreen.

Well you can hide it with Widgetlocker. Just check the settings.

maybe try pulling the apk/odex from a international base rom?

look in my signature

I found a way to enable it on my ATT D800 earlier. First download launcher pro from the market. Then on the LG home add the widget call actions from launcher pro. Choose the Home action and then one of the sub-choices will be Home with something like hidden menu underneath it. choose that one and then click on the widget. From there check the theme engine box and exit the app. Then hitting the menu key from the home screen on LG Home will have themes. You can uninstall launcher pro after

Do you mean home > Add Activity > Home > com.lge.hiddenmenuactivity ? This doesn't work for me. It creates an icon and clicking on it shows "Failed to open whatever" and nothing happens.
Can you be more specific?
Also, can someone with a working Theme setting for the Home screen upload the LGHome.apk here? It's under /system/apps/

Check this thread for instructions:

Then once you have the widget, enable 'feature_use_theme'.

The instructions are from that thread. As you can see from the thread, many people from AT&T G2 aren't able to access that shortcut. Opening the shortcut gives an error, as I mentioned before. Are you on the stock AT&T rom?

Where can i find these apps?

Xhalo floating Windows is an xposed module, you will need to be rooted and have the xposed framework installed in order to use the module. Information about all of this including file downloads can be found here on XDA Developers. Rocket dial is a dialer replacement app that can be found in the play store.

thanks just downloaded xHalo, but not working for stock phone app, for some reason play store isn't working here, i'll check it with rocket dial when it starts working.

Another way of achieving this would be to use Widget Windows, and Simple Dialer Widget, both can be found on the play store.
Widget Windows allows you to create a floating window of any widget you have installed, you can customize size and transparency.
Simple Dialer Widget is just that, a dialer widget that is minimal in design and offers dial pad, call log, and contacts tabs.
Floating widgets created through Widget Windows can be minimized to an icon that can be freely moved anywhere on your screen. Tapping the icon will re expand the widget.
You can use another program called Custom Notifications to pin a shortcut of the Simple Dialer floating widget to your notification panel for easy access.

Download launcherpro from playstore, add laucherpro activity widget, scroll down to home and select the one listed as hidden menu activity. Score!

So what does this get you?

In trouble if you don't remember what you change. It gives you acess to change settings such as turn on and off features of your phone.

This should be how you guys can turn on themes. This is the Lg Home hidden menu

Do you need pro version of launcher pro. Cause I don't see any activity widgets

Nope, it should be the 1×1 activity widget.
Sent from my VS986 using XDA Free mobile app

this menu has been in previous LG devices but is not the "main" hidden menu. you guys can't find any other hidden menu?
and you can use this app to find hidden activities without changing your launcher: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.szalkowski.activitylauncher&hl=en
just open app.. select "all activities" from the top drop down menu and poke around.

It works without changing your launcher. The widget is available in stock launcher. You can also access service menu with this app and yours.

I'm unable to find the menus on the activity launcher. It seems it's not as complete as launcher pro.

I did this, but what did you launch to get to this menu?

It's under home and then home hidden menu activity I believe. After you create the shortcut you can uninstall the launcher pro app. The shortcut will remain.
Sent from my VS986 using XDA Free mobile app

Did anyone else get this working? I followed OP and do not see hidden settings under home screen using activity launcher. See my screen shot above.

Nova launcher wont allow me to enter those. Says app not installed or something :/. I got in to the other secret menu but not the main one. Sadly the main hidden menu has bt stuff that I might be interrested. Any idea why this happens. Mine is european 815.

One of the options on this hidden menu is "Support_Secret_Menu". I wonder if that'll activate an additional menu.
It'd be nice to have Display Frame Rate option on this menu.

crash
When i try to add the activity widget it crashes on me. Not sure if its because i have 7 screens or a active wallpaper or what..

I have given up. I have the same LaunherPro installed, and have selected the same activity widget, but I do not have a hidden menu option in my list. Tried to uninstall and reinstall and no go. Thanks though, good find.

Idk. I installed the Hidden Activities app and found Verizon Hidden Menu but it won't open and instead I get an error message.
