Hi,
Guys is there any way to hide the icon of any installed app? It should not also get visibility in the remove app list?
Some of The Custom Launchers give this option , though have never tried to Hide/lock my app so wouldnt know if it shows up in remove app list
Try Go Launcher and see what happens mate
How about freezing the app? It should remove it from the launcher and manage applications list.

I really need a way to hide my apps from the app drawer,
do I have to be rooted? Someone please help, if this is
Already answered somewhere sorry, lol I suck at forums. Need help!
Thanks
Go to the market and get ADW launcher. Awesome app that you don't need root to use. Has a slide bar on the bottom to hide any app you want. Other than that, I'm not sure of a way off the top of my head to do so.

When you say you are trying to hide apps from the app drawer....what do you mean? I dont think you can actually hide them from the app drawer if they are installed unless the app is designed to be hidden after install, such as "mobile defense" is. If you want to restrict access of apps so that someone cant just open your phone and get into your apps, there are apps out there that will require you to put in a password to gain access to your apps. I think the name of one of them is app protector.
If you are looking to hide them on your homescreen (ie: your app drawer dock)
then the best launcher to use would be "Launcher pro" or "ADW Launcher" In my personal experiance, I like Launcher Pro alot better. ADW has more settings options but there are a few functions on Launcher pro that I like more especialy the dock and app drawer ones.
Advanced launcher was in older versions of CyanogenMod. It had this feature. I don't know if the launcher is still being developed, but these new launchers should really take a cue from that. I found the feature useful, and I could definitely use it now. It also allowed you to put folders in your app drawer, which I thought was pretty cool.
I believe app safe will hide them. Its from the people that made photosafe and video safe and what not. Check the market for it. But I'm not entirely sure.
ADW is the only simple easy way. With ADW you can still have the app on your screens but hidden from the launcher drawer. You can also use the keyboard and type the app name and it shows up.
launcher pro just added this feature as well

Thanks for pointing that out. He hasn't updated the changelog on his blog so I didn't know what made it into the updates.
At least now I don't have to see my bloatware.
Hey, there is a blue "share" bar on the main screen when you long press a shortcut in the stock arc S ICS rom, is there any way to remove that? Thanks a lot
No one has the same issue?
That bar is the Facebook Share isn't it? maybe try remove it?
You could just try another launcher?
Logout of Facebook inside xperia; it shouldn't pop up after that

I have removed all the bloatware, but the bar still shows up! is it part of the launcher or something?
i'm talking about that blue bar on the top, it shows up when i long press on something on the main screen. I have removed all the bloatware, including the facebook apps. What sorcery is this? xD
Just try another launcher then?
I personally like "trebuchet"
It's an APK called 'facebook proxy' use titanium backup to freeze or uninstall it.

Nah, i already removed all of that a long time ago, i guess it belongs to the stock launcher Thanks anyway
Removed all FB files but also have this bar.

Try this MoreRecent or this Recent Apps Widget.
I'm trying task switcher
Ok.. So after some try I think fast 5 task switcher app(play store) is the best.
It add last 5 recent apps on notification bar, you can also exclude app
here:Task5
I found an other awesome app!
Swipe pad! It's fast and really nice!
You can set apps, or buy add on for recent apps.. You can access it with swipe!

I've just installed the Google Now Launcher but some icons, like calendar and notes, are missing, showing only a green android.
Is there a way to fix this?

Please use search, this topic has been discussed before.
The icons for certain built in LG apps do not appear to show up in third party launchers. Some folks have found icon packs that you can install to work around the issue (this only works with certain launchers).

Got it, thanks..
Another question (I've just found out).. How can I disable google now launcher (to use again the LG launcher) without uninstalling it? If I go in the app menu the disable button, the one to delete the preference for that app, is grey..

That's not working as I said, the button is grey, I can't clear the defaults like I do with the other app!
Okay I misunderstood your first post on this. The LG launcher is called home. launch that and it should ask if you want it as the default.
