Hide apps Option after Kitkat Update - Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti

Hello guys. I noticed that there is no option to hide apps in apps drawer after upgrading to kitkat. Any solution for this problem? No other launchers I just want default touchwiz. Thanks

You can probably create a folder and banish icons to it. Or see if the Galaxy Launcher on Google Play is close enough.

[Q] help neaded regarding launchers

ive tried almost all the launchers available in the play store and the problem is that the icons get rearranges in automatically when any new launcher is installed is there a way by which the launcher can adopt the deafult set of placements of the icons which are placed originally???

Your current launcher needs to have feature to 'backup' its settings, then your new launcher must have feature to 'import' setup from another launcher.
Im not usein be launcher its the deafult i want the launcher 2 adopt my deafult icon set

There is no "default icon set". Icons you have on the "desktop" are part of the launcher. If you change the launcher - no icons. Unless, as tweeny80 stated, your new launcher can import settings from your old one (which is slim chance)...
Nova launcher gives the option to import from another. Holo laucher gives the option to use the holo icon theme or the stock theme therefore y o ur icons will be stock. Hope this helps.

Just a thought. Can you check Greenify to make sure it isn't hibernating these apps?

I have the 8.4 rooted and beautiful widgets, titanium, greenify (almost everything), xposed and a few more and BW is working fine.
Thank you for your support guys
It appears that those widgets (hd widgets/ etc) were installed in my SD card and not on the internal storage.
I went to change that in the app manager> install to device storage and whoa-la! done :3
I learn something new today.
Hopefully this helps anyone that has the same issue, if not.

[Q] Possible to disable Magazine on tabpro 8.4

Hey guys!
I'm using a german tabpro 8.4 and i'm a little bit disappointed but thats not the point.
Is it possible to disable the magazine function in tw launcher like on galaxy s5?
I tried the tw launcher from new tab s, which works without problems. Its now possible for me to hide apps in app drawer
Yeah i know there tons of different launchers out there but thats not what i'm looking for...
thx in advance
Es tut mir leid. I know you don't want to hear about launchers, but I used the plain "Google Now Launcher" from the Playstore to specifically get that Magazine UX off the Tab Pro 8.4 Homescreen. At least its a more naked Android experience. I just didn't install Google Now, so Google Now doesn't open on the Homescreen like Magazine UX did. Also, if you have apps moved to the SD card, reviewers say that sometimes their Homescreen shortcuts rearrange/disappear upon reboot. I have no apps on SD card so I don't know if its true.

[Q] guide to hide default app drawer icon in dock on CM11

hoi board
i searched the board but failed to find an answer to my question:
how to hide the default app drawer icon from CM11 trebuchet laucher.
i have a replacement app drawer installed on my S4M and want
to hide the default app drawer of trebuchets without installing
any other launcher!
can i somwhere 'hack' a setting file to hide the default icon?
so i am looking into a ressource-hack or so in particular,
and not an other launcher!
consider that before posting answers
like: yeah, use nova it is the best of all an can do that.
nova or others cant!
they replace the whole launcher and they can be customized
to not show a dock and/or a drawer-icon.
i want to stay on CM11 trebuchet!

Problem changing icon image

Hi there,
I have been using Nova launcher for years without problems. Yesterday I bought a Galaxy S9 +, and of course I also installed Nova launcher. But I have a problem with changing the icon of the application drawer on the dock. I can change the icon, but if I confirm, the icon does not change. It always remains the stock icon. I can change the other icons in the dock without any problem. Only that of the application drawer can not change. It makes me crazy because I have always been able to change this on my previous smartphones. Can someone help me?
Thanks!

I have been having the same problem on all my devices:
Moto G5s Plus
Samsung S8
Samsung Note 9
Samsung Galaxy Tab A
It looks like the dev will have to give this some love...
Came here to say this as well. Thought it may be because I switched to the Android 10 Beta on my OnePlus 6T.

As far as I know every android comes with a default launcher. In android 10 default launcher will have a dock that will show up in recent screen. Currently 3rd party apps cannot show their dock in recent screen (olny default launcher can). Yours' is a different problem. If you could remove app drawer icon from dock from default launcher it may solve the issue. Try reading this: https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/force-android-10s-gestures-work-with-any-custom-launcher-0238065/ . It will make you understand better.
