I need to hide some of my apps,but there no any app for that..There is some launchers for that but thats not give great results.
Use LauncherPro or another launcher. If you're rooted and want to freeze or completely delete system apps, then use this or Titanium. (I prefer the first)
Hide It Pro/Audio Manager... Check it out on market... It's completely free... But it can hide apps (freezes them, it appears) and it has got a slick ui!

Ok I did a search and didn't find any thing. First, how can I clear the defaults for certain actions on my thunderbolt?
Also, is it possible to not use the included launcher with roms like gingerbean? I don't want to use sense but I don't want to use launcher products or adw either.
Thanks
To clear defaults go to settings, applications, manage applications. Under all applications select the app you want, it will then give you the option to clear default.
You can use any launcher you want on pretty much any rom. ADW and Launcher Pro are favorites.
Thanks for the clear default info. What if the rom comes with launcher pro? How can I not use it? Like I don't want to use a different launcher over top. Is that possible?
Yes. Download a new launcher I would then use titanium backup to convert it to a system application. You can then use titanium backup to freeze or uninstall the launcher you don't want to use.

That worked perfectly. Thanks
I've been using Zeam 2.8.8 as my desktop launcher and think it's great for the Nook Touch, simple, fast. I am having a problem when trying to remove large widgets, i.e 4x2, 2x3. I long press the widget and drag it to the trash can, I'm not that stupid, but when it's in the right spot the widget and trash can are supposed to both turn red. Problem is on a grayscale like Nook there is no visiable change in color. Is there an app I can use to remove the widget? I've been looking for an app the past three days but not lucky. I also am using ES File manager which allow sys access. Is the widget listed somewhere in the system files so I can delete it?
Please don't suggest I update to a new OS, it's not possible. The Nook Touch runs on Android 2.1. While people are cooking custom ROMS nothing's out yet.
Maybe you should just try a different launcher
I like GO-Launcher, much better than my original Sense 3.0 for example..

The widget related data is specific to launcher so you can either try new popular launchers like GO launcher, launcher pro, ADW launcher which are prettu stable and user friendly.
Or else if you want to stick to your older launcher then in that case you can clear data for launcher application. (Goto setting - application - manage application and search for your launcher application. Open it and clear data)
sorry I don't know how to remove specifically a single widget from launcher data. By clearing data all user defined shortcuts and widgets will be removed. (Launcher Reset)
Enjoy!!

I like Go Launcher and would use it, in fact that is the launcher included on the Nook Touch rooting file, but when looking in the app drawer the font is too big and I can't see the app name. The funny part is when looking at the recent app tab and close app tab I don't have that problem.
Hello.
My problem is that I used ADW Launcher and now Im starting with Go Launcher
In ADW I could create app groups. That is useful for example for set one group with all apps and other group with the most frequent apps, so I avoided thereby apps that I dont use so much and I hide some apps from other people hehe
But now Go launcher has not got that feature. I only can hide apps but then I cant run them quickly, I have to unhide, run, hide again, everytime
Does exist any app that shows you all app you have installed and you can go and run whichever you want?
Thaaaaanks
Try Folder Organizer (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.abcOrganizer.lite), it's an excellent label-based app manager.
Yeaaah, just tried Apps organicer
(https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.code.appsorganizer&feature=more_from_developer), from the same dev, and works perfectly, that what I was looking for. Its even simplier than Folder organicer. Just select an app and it run it
So, problem fixed
Thanks so much mate
I'm running CM7.2 with Zeam and softkeys.
Since I can't uninstall the phone, talk apps etc. I'd like to remove the icons from my app screen -how do I do this? Seems this would be very simple but I can't seem to do it! I know I could move them to a unused screen but I'd prefer to just get rid of them.
Thanks
Carolyn
I use launcher pro where there is a setting to hide apps. I only keep the ones I use visible all the time. It's easy to unhide them, should I want to.

Is there any way to hide apps from the drawer but WITHOUT killing those apps
-Rooted
-also tried "Go Launcher" but its very easy to unhide it from menu no protection at all
-Tried "Hide it Pro" = Killing the apps
-Tried "ccswe app manager" = same killing the apps
**I need Password Protected Manager To "HIDE" the apps icons only while "Keep them Running in background"
Any Ideas, Even Paid Apps ??
Why don't you try apex launcher. It can hide app without killing it.

is there any protection for unhiding the apps or just same like Go Launcher and Launcher Pro you can unhide the apps very easy
Helooooo !!!!!!
I don't know what you mean by protection, but feel free to download Go Launcher, Apex Launcher, Nova Launcher. They all allow moving apps from the main app drawer into folders. Nova Launcher also allows creation of tabs for categories of apps.
All it takes is moving the icon from main app drawer into a folder/tab, at which point it disappears from the app drawer. Moving it back is same procedure, but in reverse. Simply unchecking the app.
Most launchers probably don't have this feature (locking the ablity to unhide) because it is rather pointless, unless you are trying to hide an inappropriate app, if you know what I mean.
May I ask why you want this?
Otherwise, on the apps you mentioned, you do have to dig through menus to unhide it, so there really shouldn't be a problem with security...

What i mean is same like "HIDE IT PRO" to unhide the apps u need to use your pin or whatever lock u used ,
its exactly what i need BUT in "hide it pro" when you chose to hide certain apps those apps will be killed and as long as they kept hidden u cant run them at all
So what i need is to hide apps BUT "keep Them running on background"
Would like to know that too, got issues with Nexus
