How to hide icon - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I want to hide icon of app in Android.

which launcher?
for most of them, it is from home screen, menu button, preferences

If it's the icon in the App Drawer you want to hide, use a Launcher that allows you to do this. Launcher Pro does iirc.
If it's the icon on a Homescreen you just need to change the current one for one that's transparent..and most 3rd party Launchers allow you to do that. I've attached a transparent icon for you if you need it. Un-zip it, save it to your phone and either use your Launcher to edit the current icon or use an app called 'Desktop Visualizer' to do the same.

If you are looking to change the icon and name of an app on any of your homescreens, then that's easily done with any of the newer versions of Launcher Pro. Just update the software, and when you add an icon to the homescreen, it will show you a window allowing you to change the name and icon of a shortcut. Hiding apps from the launcer is also a feature of Launcher Pro. Just go into Launcher Pro preferences, general settings, and hidden apps. From there, hide what you want.

Simple Text / ADW Launcher question

So i hate using icons for my launcher, so i have used simple text as icons. But i have run into a snag along the way.... How do i modify my app drawer icon? I can change the icon easily. but when u choose what to launch you cant choose the app drawer, you have to physically choose an application, anyone know the way around this?

Changing Icons In The App Drawer

I wanna know if there's an app that can allow me to change the displayed icon for apps in the app drawer, the same way ADW launcher EX, Launcher Pro and Go launcher EX allow you to change the icon of an app on your home screen, by just long pressing it to change it's icon.
I'm using ADW launcher EX, and i'm aware you can download themes and change the icons, but most of the time, they don't have half the icons for my apps and i have icon image files ready which i'd like to change the apps too.
I'm aware of this method, but i don't want to be playing with the apps themselves, just wondering if there's a simple app for changing the icons in the app drawer?

Question Icon Pack in Pixel 6

Hi, I have a pixel 6 and I'm missing some customisation. I would like to be able to use icon packs but I don't want to root the phone. Is there any way to allow me to do this?

Use another launcher from play store. Default Pixel Launcher doesn't support icon pack unless rooted.
Yes of course, I know that, but I would like to keep using the original launcher, it works very well.... I guess I'm still asking for something impossible...

Try the X Icon Changer app from playstore.
X Icon Changer - Change Icons - Apps on Google Play
App Icon Changer & Shortcut Creator. Customize your icons without any watermarks
play.google.com
It basically makes shortcuts/widgets (so the new "icons" are only shown on the home screen and not in the app drawer) but would work on stock launcher without root.
It's shortcut maker and an icon pack, you create a shortcut from shortcut maker (a widget actually, which looks like a shortcut) for every app you want on your home screen, then while creating said shortcut you change its icon in the icon section omegle xender . Inside the icon section in shortcut maker app you will find an option to apply icon from an icon pack.
