hey,
I wanna ask if it was possible to have HTC sense with a custom, more customizable app drawer like all the other home replacement app's app drawer. Cause i really want a more customizable app drawer without losing my sense widgets.
I'm afraid it cannot be done without major modifying of the ROM, which isn't easy.
You can try All Apps organizer.
It helps you customize the output and manage your apps by type.
But with sense enabled you won't have many customization on their stock app drawer.
You could also use a home app that looks alike and highly customizable (LauncherPro, adw.Launcher or go launcher....)
yea i'm using go launcher now. but im missing my sense widgets. just too refined. all apps organiser is it an app drawer or just an application?
You can find fine widgets for everything out there
Take a look at All App Organize
But don't you have one with goLauncher? I'm using LauncherPro and you can customize it.
i want hide some app from the app drawer but i don't want install an alternative luncher or an app that hide app
anyone know how do this???
thanks
I don't know, but I really sugest to use a different launcher, like Launcher pro, its much better then TW and you can hide apps
You need an app or some other launcher to do it
I recommend hide it pro ( free app - market )
thanks i will try!!
Okay, so I know this has been asked before, I've been searching XDA and googling and have found some threads on the topic, but most of them are old and unresolved. So I'm reaching out to see if maybe there's a new development that I haven't been able to find.
Is there any known way to HIDE apps from the app drawer of a stock launcher? I know that Launcher Plus Pro and some other home replacements have this feature built in, but I'm using Virtuous Unity and am really happy with Sense 3.0 at the moment.
It seems like such a basic function, I can't believe there's a) no native feature to do this; and more surprisingly b) there's no 3rd party app that will do this?
I've found some apps that 'hide' your drawer apps (i.e. Hide It Pro) but this not only hides the app from the drawer, but makes it so you can only launch the hidden app from within the app that's hiding it (meaning you have to go into Hide It Pro to launch the hidden app).
I'm using wave launcher and swipepad for my most used apps and games, and would ideally like to remove these apps from the app drawer so they're not cluttering it up, but STILL BE ABLE TO LAUNCH THE APPS from the alternate launcher/shortcuts. With Hide It Pro I was able to remove the apps from the app drawer, but was then unable to launch that app from wave launcher for example.
My reasoning for wanting to do this is not confidentiality/privacy, but rather just to clean up my drawer/app system. Ideally I want my most used apps to be accessed via the secondary launchers (wave and swipepad) and just have the other, less-used apps in the app drawer. Is this possible?
at the moment, I dont think its possible...but I may be wrong. the best current solution would be to use a diff launcher, but yeah it sucks because all the sense widgets would disappear when trying to add them to homescreens (but the apps still work fine). keep us updated if you find a solution, I would like to know as well
Unfortunately I did not find a way to do it too. I am using Go Launcher EX. It can hide apps from the drawer, and still you can launch them from the home screen or elsewhere.
Thanks for the replies. Yeah from my research it doesn't really seem possible. It seems like it should be a pretty basic function but oh well. Thanks anyway guys.

This might be of interest to you. [APP][30 JUL]ALTDRAWER 0.7.1 Alternative APP DRAWER [Perfect for MIUI] [Many options] - xda-developers http://bit.ly/qvK3KS
Thanks for that, I came across that during my research. Seems cool and if it replaced the default app drawer I'd be all over it. But I don't want a homescreen icon as my app drawer. But thanks for the suggestion!!

Ok guys Apex Launcher has dropped the beta tag and now it is available on Google Play...

NOTE: Due to limitations of the Android framework, you won't be able to add widgets from the drawer unless Apex Launcher is installed as a system app (root required). Please read the FAQ for more information.
Tips:
- Pinch the screen to access screen previews (like Exposé or HTC Sense).
- Long press an icon to drag and drop it over another one to create a folder.
- Long press icons/folders on the desktop and choose edit from the popup menu to customize icons and labels.
- Drag, hover, and drop app icons over the delete button at the top of the screen to quickly uninstall apps.
- Long press an app in the hide apps list to quickly launch that app.
- Reboot after installing as system app (root required) to add widgets from the drawer.
Permissions:
- BIND_APPWIDGET: Required to add widgets from the drawer (only if installed as system app).
- CALL_PHONE: Create direct-dial shortcuts on the homescreen.
- EXPAND_STATUS_BAR/SET_WALLPAPER/SET_WALLPAPER_HINTS/VIBRATE: Standard launcher functions.
- INTERNET/ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Check for updates and anonymous usage/error reporting (optional).

I have installed it successfully as a regular app on my SGS running ICSSGS RC4.2.
Would it create a problem if I make it a system app considering that this is an odexed ROM.?
EDIT: Converted to system app with no issues so far.
System app
How to install as a System app in GNex ?
To be totally honest..
Apex Launcher > Nova Launcher
It has all the tweaks I need and it's probably the most stable ICS based launcher I've used so far.

Ooh! Looks nice, gonna try it out on my OV w/ CM9
Hi everyone,
I'm back to stock ROM after trying a bunch of other ROMs out there. I pretty much love pie menu and wanted to know if I can install it on my stock ROM. (I know there is an app called piecontrol but it doesn't have the same interface as the one in paranoid android or cyanogenmod.)
In my opinion LMT launcher is lot better than Pie control app. You can give it a shot. And even it's called a launcher its works beside your default launcher.
