[Q] APP Drawer - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

For the APP Drawer is it possible to hide unused apps? Then maybe have a tab for different apps?
One app is everything, while another app is for games?
Is this possible?
Thanks.

With golauncher you can hide unused apps

Okay, well I know launchers can hide apps, cut that out, but I was really more focused on the second part.
Extra tabs? That can separate apps, like folders, but for the app drawer.

Some launchers allow folder groups, don't know of any with more than one application drawer.

TwLauncher apps question.

Is there ayway to get my apps organized? I've installed/uninstalled several apps lately and the removal of some has left open spaces on the pages of my apps list. I've also noticed the ones I have kept aren't alphabetical like some other launchers have them, is it possible to get them so?
Sorry if this seems noob or anal or both...

I think I got malware or a app triggering notification ads.

I am getting two ads a day in my Notification Bar. It's odd because I don't download anything from the market that looks suspicious. I also read the comments for everything I download. Does anyone know of a way I can figure out what app is pushing these ads or if there is a app that will scan my phone for malware?

It's probably just some ad sponsored app. Just get AdAway and all your problems are solved.
Use this to find the offending app.....

My wife and I both have SGS3's and she is constantly getting these apps/widgets that pop up on her home screens yet are not in her app drawer and these are not apps that she downloaded. Anyone else experience anything similar and is there a way to block these apps?? Thanks

Get airpush from playstore it will tell you what app is causing it

If you find the offending app, you can opt out of their push notifications via a website depending what company is pushing the spam on you. I honestly forget which company it was ... you'll have to go to the playstore and find the offending app and check out the description. I know one of them had instructions on how to opt out.
Wont work for all of them, but you might get lucky.
There is also an airpush opt out app in the playstore as well.

Root phone, then uninstall using Titanium Backup.
Or you can use sdx system file remover

Also System Tuner. Titanium is great but back on the evo lte I had a few things that were part of Sense that Titanium couldn't remove but System Tuner Pro did. Then again Titanium is still improving all the time so who knows it might handle those things now.
It wasn't a permission thing it was like a compatibility thing I think. In the list of apps there was a couple that had a different color and you couldn't click on them or do anything to them. They were related to htc sense social integration, some kind of background service or db for friend flow (widget)/ facebook / twitter. System tuner pro plucked 'em right out just like any other app.

Does System Tuner Pro let you remove the nanny software that is integrated into the stock-ish TWiz ROMs? There's some "parental" spyware that really should be bizzaned, that you cannot remove through TiBackup.

That's "smart device manager" yes you can remove it, but I'm pretty sure titanium can handle that one ok too. I know system tuner does since I always delete that too.

Questions about hiding apps

For iPhone in the Cydia app store there is an app called Poof that makes apps invisible. You run the app by actually typing in the name in the search screen. Is there anything like that on android?
- Solved Apex launcher ahs the option_

Hiding apps? There are plenty of apps that let you freeze an app or disable an app.
I use es file explorer. You have to be rooted though.

Guess your new to ANDROID. Welcome Cuz your speaking of Crapple:banghead: lol.
Anyhow you can disable any app from showing up in the applications drawer. Just go into setting applications, pick the one you don't want disable done. But your going to have to root your phone like the last post stated. Then you'll b able to do plenty more. Like completely remove what you don't want or NEED!

You're able to hide apps natively by going to apps then menu then hide app.. You can also install app hider pro from play store, its free.

[Q] Apps not appearing in app drawer

Hey,
I'm running Vanilla Rootbox-V4.0 kernel 3.4.45-cyanogenmod and I'm having trouble with my phone. I can't seem to find a couple of my apps in the app drawer I noticed. They were originally in the app drawer at one point in time and then when I tried to open it, it disappeared from the drawer. Any ideas what's wrong? I seem to be having other minor issues too and am wondering if I'm having kernel issues.

Stock launcher or custom launcher?

In the app drawer check that you don't have an extra tab for downloaded apps. I fell for that once lol
