does any one have an idea how to do this without removing the camera.apk? I hate having apps in my app drawer that I don't/will never use... I am rooted with unlocked bootloader. thanks in advance...
or is there a replacement camera app I can use?
if anyone cares... I found the solution! I used rom toolbox and used advance freeze, and disabled mirror. easy.
you can disable any app i think within the settings>manage apps>all tab, then tap on the app and select disable.

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.
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.

Hi,
I only see Google Now and QMEMO icons on my LG-D885 but I've seen screens where there's the voice app and another on it.
Can I add options to it somehow?
have you disabled or frozen the voice app?

Nope, I'm rooted but I've not used titanium or xposed/xposed apps as yet for tweaking etc.I did flash a new build of firmware (10f) and can't recall if the other apps were showing in the swipe menu prior.
It's no big deal, just a curiosity. I don't even use the apps that are missing either.
Hi all,
I uninstalled the secure folder because it is conflict with NOW launcher. the app drawer is not showing any app. Anyway to reinstall it?
Thanks.
Do you mean the secure folder? I don't think there is a way. They don't like each other. I've only been able to run either Google Now Launcher or My Secure folder. Uninstalling Secure folder should make the app drawer work properly. if it's not showing properly, you man need to reinstall the launcher.

Hi it is an add on app which is called secure folder. i uninstalled it and the app drawer for NOW launcher appears.
Check through your settings if there is an installation option. If not maybe the Samsung App Store?

If you want to re-install Secure Folders, go to Settings -> Lock Screen and security. Scroll down to where it says Secure Folders. This will put it back in.
However, Google Now Launcher will stop working. If you want to put back the TouchWiz, you can either uninstall Google Now, or go to Settings -> Applications. Select Default Applications in the upper right. Near the bottom is Home Screen, select that and change it back to TouchWiz.
Thanks all. Either now or secure. Sad

angka8, have you tried Nova Launcher? You can get it to look pretty much like Google Now if you want. It's pretty customizable. The only think you can't get is Swipe Left for Google now. You can have it activate other ways. Some people have it set when you swipe up. I have mine to activate when I press the Home button on the home screen. I'm a huge fan of Google Now, but was Nova was recommended to me. It looks exactly the same and Secure Folder works with it.
Strange, both are working fine together for me. I have no problem accessing my app drawer.

Is there any way to hide the app name that appears on almost all system apps like gallery, phone, messagss. Files etc without root?
It really makes the phone slower, i have seen that the a70 does not have this animation for stock apps.
This can be removed but only with root and a custom rom.

He doesnt mean that. He means the app loading (logo) screen when launching system apps like Phone app, gallery app and settings app.
