Hide Apps from App drawer?

Is it possible on 4.2 with stock launcher? Thanks.

I'm rooted and using nova launcher, but try this app. It's awesome.

Freeze them with app quarantine

Disable the app through app settings

As others have said you need a third party launcher.
But you don't need root to hide icons.
To the other posters in the thread. There are times when you don't want to disable the app, you just want to hide the icon(s). Some basic examples. A part of maps like the local icon. The messenger icon for google+. Speaking of Google, the Google search icon. And I'm sure there are many other third party apps that have a extra icon. Remember the Facebook camera icon that only lasted about a week because of the uproar...

[Q] Hide app icon but keep the app enabled and launch-able?

Is there any app / way to achieve this? There are two many apps that I do not launch on a regular basis which I do not want to appear in the App Menu but keep the app available to launch when required using Swapp or any other Gesture App Launcher like GMD. My Nexus 4 is rooted. I have tried few apps to hide but I am unable to launch them while hidden.

Many third-party launchers have the ability to hide apps (nova, apex, action) from the app drawer. If you wish to run one of these hidden apps, simply search for it-either in the launcher's search or with Google now.

Sorry, forgot to mention.. If possible I would like to avoid third party launchers. I am happy with the stock launcher.

Stock launcher doesn't have this option. If you want to hide icons, you have to get a third party one. Sorry.

Looking something similar to S note, that you can actually insert information on the lock screen not just having read only info.
Thank you anyway

Nova pull down notifications

Is anybody using the swipe down for notifications? My phone freezes when I try to use it and I had accepted it on the accessibility tab.

Shouldn't freeze, but it will be super slow to pull down. That is a marshmallow bug that Nova's developer had submitted to Google. If it's actually freezing that's different and might be anice issue with something specific to your setup.

I'm not sure why it's happening either. Maybe I should just reset my nova launcher. The only times its worked is when I've been able to root my past phones with a similar setup on my Moto x pure, and nexus 6p.

This happened to me but then I updated to Nova Launcher beta apk and it cleared that issue. I think I had to register on Nova Launcher Google plus page.

[Request]Swipe up app for homescreen

Where I can get app which can open any of my installed apps by just swiping up on homescreen? I have mobile payment app (like samsung pay but not samsung pay) and I would like to activate the app just like samsung pay, by swiping up on homescreen, when I need to make payment. Also I don't have root access so guys do you have something to offer?

Download nova launcher and assign gestures as you like

Yes I have bought it, but I would want to use touchwiz

Try all in one gestures on the play store.

Update your touchwiz launcher to Galaxys S8 one. Its has that option. http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/touchwiz-home/touchwiz-home-6-0-77-release/

Thank you! Just what I was looking for

I just wondering any of you still using GMD Gesture Control app ??? IMO, this is very good app that I have been using since I switched from Crapple to Android.

Try Double Tap Pro.
