Hide drawer apps in rooted evo with cm 7.0. 2

Sorry if this has been asked before but i need to hide some apps to remove clutter from my drawer. Is there any way this can be done without using Launcher pro? Thanks.

yup just open the drawer and click menu and then chose group, click new catalog and name it whatever you want...then once that group is selected click menu then setup up group...click what you want to be in the drawer and then your done...

Did you just delete the short cut or can't see the app tab in your app drawer?

If you're talking about the app drawer icon then just press on a plus and press 'app drawer icon'.

Thanks to you both - now sorted!

I don't think you can do that with the stock launcher, but backing up the app settings for most other launchers (Nova, Apex, Trebuchet...) using an app like TB should save the icon config as well.
Edit: You can! Just back up the Launcher/home app.

Thanks klvnhng
Yeah was hoping for a stock launcher,But might put nova on
Cheers for the reply

Seems the the carbon update can back up this. Have not tested it yet tho.

Android L Launcher - Change Icons

hi, I installed the latest Android L preview and I like it a lot but the only thing I miss is my moonshine icon pack that I used on my kitkat build.
I looked around if there is any way to change icons on the stock launcher and I came across "Beautiful Icon Styler" and I found an old apk online but it does not seem to be compatible with the android l launcher.
does anyone know if it is possible to change the icons without changing the launcher? even if it is only home screen icons I guess it is still better than nothing
thanks

I dont know for exact but u can change pngs of ur stock icons. U can google it or wait till some one answer.

Wait for xposed to release an update for android L

so there is no app/mod that will do this right now

Did you try desktop visualizer?

yea I just figured out that one. However I think I might have found an easier way.
the app is called Icon Changer free and it basically creates a shortcut for the app on your homescreen with a custom icon. the icon doesn't change in the drawer but I guess it'll have to do for now
thanks

Beautiful Icon Styler
Here you go. Was looking for a app that allowed me to style the icons while using GEL (or pretty much any other launcher). This did the trick for me.

Just use this app called Unicon. You need root but it works.
