How to remove the app drawer like s7 http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/galaxy-s7-remove-app-drawer/
on Lolipop S6 ports
just pretend, if your launcher has an option to automatically put icons on the home screen choose that (or do it in playstore settings). then if it let's you, remove the app draw icon from your launcher dock or switch to a launcher that will let you. although it's fugly as all hell so I don't know why anyone would want to.

It isn't possible without a third party launcher.
This no launcher trend was introduced only recently with the release of the S7 and G5, and both run Marshmallow. So I don't think it's available for lollipop unless someone ports the feature.

It is possible with Stock Launcher
I Saw on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rE-IM0mNr7Y (1:59) but it's on the s5 with lolipop, of course. (IOS experience ) )

You do realize that it is possible to create app shortcuts on the home screen, right? Every launcher has this.
And he may have removed the app drawer icon somehow. I'm sure exposed has some options for customizing the touchwiz launcher.

I highly doubt touchwiz lollipop has the option to disable the app drawer and make it iOS-like, because I never heard anything about it until the S7 and G5 came out. But both are running marshmallow.
If there really was such a feature on touchwiz lollipop, people would have discovered it sooner.
What you saw in the video is probably some modifications done by the youtuber (Xposed or something).

Hello all. Just installed omnirom on my nexus 7 flo and everything works fantastic. There is a little problem whose solution i couldnt find even after hours of searching. My right app icon in app drawer disappers everytime i reboot. It doesnt matter which app icon i put in there. Only the right icon deappears.
Details
Device: nexus 7 2013 16gb
Firmware: omnirom 4.2.2(official)
Recovery: twrp 2.6.0
Gapps: pa gapps( stock 270 mb)
Launcher: omnirom default
anyone help
Please anyone help. This bug is killing me its so annoying
Disappearing icon
My last icon on the right also disappears. I'm using an Xperia tablet Z, SGP311.
I love the ROM. Android development is completely alien to me but when I have time I'll start over on the XDA university site. Now I just have to build one of those signatures that says what my device is and all that.
Your right app icon? Can you screenshot or something?

For what it's worth, this affects all users (at least on flo) and not just the primary or last accessed one.

I'm having the same problem on the Nexus 10.
Great rom apart from this minor annoyance!
FWIW, I'm using Nova Launcher on Nexus 10 with dock set to have 6 icons and I'm not having this problem. Could be an issue with a specific launcher or setting, hard to know without more information from those having the problem.
New quick settings tile editing option is great!

+1 for the Nexus 10 with the GEL Launcher. Doesn't effect Nova Launcher regardless of # of rows/columns.

Stock launcher. Ie the launcher that came when i installed omnirom. I didnt install any other launcher, but now i am considering to switch to other launcher. I have tried many free launchers before but didnt like most of them. Care to suggest a simple launcher without any annoyances(like ads and pay to unlock certain feature)??

Nova. It's brilliant. There are some features which are only available in the paid version but nothing that affects the use of the launcher.
Oh, and the disappearing icon is not an Omni problem - its a problem with the GEL itself.

+1 on Nova. I had a low-spec device a couple years ago and tried all the popular launchers at the time. Nova seemed fastest, easiest to use, and has useful features. As far as I know the free version doesn't have ads and has plenty of good features. Nova Prime has some additional gestures that can be set to open favorite apps, which I love, because I like a clean home screen.

Thanks. Im using nova launcher right now without any problems. Backups and restore is an important feature which I liked very much. What the hell is wrong with google, not fixing this bug till now
I have my phone rooted, but I don't want to change to another launcher.
Is there a way i can remove it ?.
i really like the touchwiz launcher, the only thing bothers me is the apps Icon.
I asked if it could be moved and didn't get a response so I doubt it!

I was on the same boat but I don't think u can so I installed the Nova Launcher and IMO the smaller icons are nicer and you can remove it
Moved? No. Removed? Yes. You can enable the Samsung Labs option in the settings (I don't remember where it is, but google it), and then you'll get the option to disable the app drawer.
If you don't want to remove it, then your only option it to change launcher. I personally recommend either Nova Launcher (Prime) or Action Launcher (Pro)
I know nova launcher offers this, and I know you can use the fingerprint reader as well.
Is there an app that allows for this feature while leaving the stock launcher intact?
This thread didn't offer any solutions.
Thanks
US galaxy s8 on AT&T no root
This is unrealistic. Because swiping down in other apps has different functionality. Even in the app drawer of Nova you can't swipe down to pull down the notification bar.

I'm sorry I meant from my home screens, not inside apps
Well, even the launcher is more or less just an app.
You have to use other gestures or remapped buttons to make this work. The thread you mentioned offers one possible solution. Give it a try, I'd say.
Btw: Your fingerprint-scanner can do this also.
Do you use S8 Samsung experience or different launcher? if you use different launcher, which one? and why?
I've always used Nova. Has way more customization settings and I can mix and match different icon packs. The stock galaxy launcher just doesn't compete.
It looks like I am getting older, as on the S8 I do not use Nova, which I used since the days of HTC Sensation.
Using nova, love it. Can do a few of the things i lost without root & xposed.
Use nova now as with a few others my delete shorcut button when you hold your finger on an icon had stopped working.
Using Nova on every smartphone. Stock ones doesn't fit my needs.
I use Nova also. Stock launchers have too little options to customize.
I like stock. It has some functionality that Nova doesnt have (like multiple app cards even if they are not full, i.e. you can have a an app card for just one app if u want.) and ability to move any app icon anywhere. Nova is alphabetical only, and forces you to have folders at the very top.
I still use nova though.
Nova it is.
Nova prime on my every device
I have been using ActionLauncher3 for a few years and see myself continuing to use it for the foreseeable future.
I used Nova (Prime) on my S5, S6, and S7, but with the S8, I'm using the stock launcher. The reason I hated Touchwiz before was that the app drawer button couldn't be moved, but the new swipe up app drawer gesture on the S8 works for me.
holy jesus nova is popular for no reason, like its a stock launcher that you can change the icons on
I use lawn-chair from here https://github.com/deletescape-media/lawnchair
Open source and pretty good
i used Evie Launcher seems cool
I was using nova for a long time, but since s8 I'm staying with touchwiz, now I'm using modded touchwiz, it had some some features i was missing from nova like double tap to sleep, and has everything I need.
Pixel Launcher or TouchWiz

I don't think you have a clue what Nova can actually do. Looks are deceiving. It still is one of the most powerful feature wise.

except you can easily remap gestures on the screen (with prime), customize notification labels (tesla), completely change look and feel of homescreen/app drawer/dock, add multiple dock pages, change margins, persistant search bar, overlap widgets, add folders to app drawer, stick dock to the top, backup settings and import on different devices. did i forgot something?
i think you are right, theres no reason for it to be popular, it's like a stock launcher.
Does anyone have a work around or. apk for Task Changer (Good Lock)? After update to One UI 3.0 Android 11, it is not compatible.
Wich item is that? Every item on Goodlock seem to be working for me.

Not OP, and I have a different phone (n10+), but I have the same issue.
Task Changer is the Good lock app that lets you customize the recent apps screen.
Good lock still shows is as installed, but trying to open it just shows a messaging saying "Congrats on updating! Task Changer isn't compatible, please wait for an update."

It's nice that some form of Task Changer is working on One UI 3, but the one in Home Up only works when using One UI Home, so it's no good for people using alternative launchers.

Actually it is working with 3rd party launchers (tested with Nova, new Lawnchair alpha and Ruthless). You have to use stock launcher first, then set radio changer up for the first time. Then switch launcher and don't deactivate/uninstall the stock one in the background. Now you can use it with custom launcher and also make changes without switching again. But the features of the app are still pretty limited. I am disappointed with 3.1 so far. Samsung has screwed up for me. Performance/animations are horrible. I went back to 2.5 a few times now and am really annoyed with that. When using a 3rd party launcher I also have the issue that when opening recent apps there is a latency and the background same as the recent apps are popping in after a second. Can anyone confirm this? Plain ugly... There is definitely an ongoing issue with 3rd party launcher integration.

Ah, I hadn't tried swapping back to the stock launcher temporarily.
I'll have to try that out then, anything is better than the default recents screen.
I do agree though, it's lacking in options compared to Task Changer.
While I'm not going to rollback to 2.5 over it, I really hope it gets 3.0 support soon.

wait, how did you manage to go back to 2.5, didn't you change the bootloader when you upgraded to 11?

This is now a long time ago. But if I remember correctly there have been a few oneui3.x versions that didn't change the bootloader so it was easy to get back to 2.5. Unfortunately there has been a later update which changed the bootloader on a 3.x version and a downgrade wasn't possible anymore. So if you're on the latest software update I guess it's not possible. At least not the easy. I don't know a way that would allow it.
