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.

I've got a few ideas for apps i'd love to have, but don't know if they exist, or which ones are best, so hopefully someone can help me out
1. Whenever Titanium Backup does a scheduled backup, it closes all apps and HTC sense in order to do a backup. Before doing this, i got about 120-140 free RAM, but after Titanium Backup does a backup, i'm up to 300-350 free RAM. I guess it frees alot of RAM when it closes all the programs.
My question is, is there any app that does this too? Without doing a backup? Maybe a simply 1-click widget that closes them all (including HTC sense) and then opens up the needed apps again?
2.1. I used to use normal HTC sense as my launcher, but switched to ADWLauncher EX. One of the two things i'm missing is a proper 1x1 widget to disable/enable 3g network. There are lots of apps that can make a shortcut to the settings, but i don't want this. I want one similar to the one in HTC Sense.
Any ideas?
2.2. There was a "Sync" 1x1 widget in HTC Sense, which forced it to sync all the items i had chosen whenever i clicked the widget, is there another 1x1 widget for this in the market?
3. In ADWLauncher EX, i can hide the status bar with a simple swipe, but is there any way to hide the app drawer shortcut (which is at the bottom of my screen, where the HTC sense navigation bar used to be), along with all my icons?
So the screen would be completely clean of everything, and all you could see is the wallpaper.
4. When i had my old HTC Desire, i used to have an app that would allow me to assign 1 wallpaper to each of my 7 homescreens, but i can't for the sake of me remember the name of the app, can anyone help me out?

Can anyone help me?
No one can help me? :S
There is a lot off apps for killing running processes. Autokiller, advanced task killer and many more. If you want more ram, change rom .. Im running cm7 and have aprox 330mb free at all time.
Sent from space, with My sensation...
Randomly killing apps/processes is not advisable. Android was built to multi-task. Use Watch Dog Lite if you want too see what uses your RAM and CPU. Free RAM is wasted RAM, to some extent. And if you kill everything, you risk missing important things like texts, widget updates, etc.

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!

Is there a way to hide certain apps from the app drawer without rooting? I know there are different launchers that are able to do this but I like the stock Sense launcher.
Also, Is there a way to remove the recent apps from the notification bar?
Thanks in advance.

I could be totally wrong here but it seems like what you're asking for is going to require root.

Even if I rooted, I think the only way would be for me to use Root Explorer and renaming the .apk file to .bak... Unless anyone else knows of other methods?
Why do you want to hide them? Are you trying to hide bloatware w/o rooting?
I think rooting is going to be the way to go. Sure you can find some launchers that hide them, but Sense doesn't play nicely with them.
I use launcher pro (rooted, BeastMOD 1.3.1), so I have two docks with 5 icons each with a standard and a swipe gesture. i also have widgets for more important things, so the ONLY use I have for my app drawer is to access apps that I use relatively rarely.
For example, I have the Digital Clock widget on my home screen. I have zero use to look at an icon for it taking up space in my app drawer.
I have a similar (but different) question. Is is possible to organize the downloaded apps in the drawer in alphabetical order? It currently puts the most recently dl'd apps at the top, making finding apps a pain in the ass. My phone is stock and unrooted.

Without rooting I guess you must use some launcher with function to hide or grouping.
I used ADW EX and it caused no problem with stock Sense. With ADW you can set up groups and put apps that you don't like into a group and name it "junk" or something like that and never touching that group when open app drawer ...
Edit: Sorry for my replied making no sense since you stated that you wanted Sense ... Just disregard this post
Oh well...sense is too nice to give up for another launcher..

Hi,
I'm not sure if this the right place to post this but anyway here it is. I have already personalized all the apps and widgets that I will use in my main screen, I've put them altogether the way I wanted it. Now my question is, is there any app that could prevent somebody in changing my apps and screen the way I wanted it to be?
Appreciate any response.
If u decide to run a custom Launcher (golauncher, adw launcher, etc), these typically have an option to lock the desktop. I use Adw Launcher Ex and it has this option. I'm not sure if u can do it on the Sense Rosie Launcher.

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
