On my iPod Touch 4G, I really like the 'Poof' app available in Cydia. It allows the app icon to disappear from the springboard. You can type the app name in search bar and it appears (You can turn that off too).
Is there any similar app available for Android ? I searched alot but haven't found one.
I am running JellyBean 4.1.2 CM10 tytung's ROM on my HD2.
i'm running cm10.1 with apex launcher. I just hide icons of apps I don't want to show in my app drawer and then use the google search bar at the top of the screen to find hidden apps by typing their name in or saying open "app name".

I tried Apex Launcher, it was slow and consumed more battery than CM10's default launcher Trebuchet. You running it on HD2 ?
Trebuchet is getting a 'hide apps' feature soon too. The maker of Trebuchet posted it on his Google+ page along with a load of other features.

Use 'hide it pro' app from play store to hide anything from your device. It's also available on the ios app store

Installed Hide It Pro but didn't worked for me. Now installed Nova Launcher, and now I am able to hide apps. Plus its very fast and smooth than any other launcher.
Thanks for the help guys.

So...
I really like everything about Launcher Pro... except the app drawer.
I personally prefer the application setup from touchwiz more.
Is it possible to pull up the applications page from TW on launcher pro?
Thanks!
It wont be exactly the same but there is a setting in launcher pro that will make your app drawer horizontal. I think thats as close are your going to get.
where would that setting be...?
There is no setting for that on launcher pro. However, adw launcher allows you to have a horizontal applications drawer. You can download it from the market

What ROM are you running at the moment or SE firmware?
That can determine if you can get the app drawer back or not?
And, how did you delete it?
Andriod 2.2.1
andriod 2.2.1 cyanogenmod 6.1.1
Or simply reflash or backup apsa on astro and restore.

What launcher are you using bro?
Can you try long press on the dock menu? I think you see there open all apps drawer or something.

I've done this plenty of times, im using adw Launcher so this could be different for other launchers
Long press on your home screen, Launcher actions, then select open/close App Drawer.

Easiest way would be to install a different launcher.
I believe you can also add a shortcut of the app drawer.
Hey I have a new razr maxx, and it is rooted. I cant seem to move the apps icon that is on the home sceen. I can move and change all other apps on the home screen except for the apps one. Any clues?
Thanks
Well, yeah, you can't remove the app drawer icon. Use a third party launcher replacement if you want to do that. No stock launchers for any phone I've come across allowed you to remove the app drawer shortcut.

You can remove app drawer icon in Go Launcher EX.
How do I keep cm9 from making those stupid app shortcuts on the homescreen or is that some stupid ICS behavior. If I wanted my home screen to look like an iPhone or behave like MIUI, then I would've bought an iPhone or installed MIUI.
Thanks

I think its android Market/play store that adds app shortcuts to your home screen, there's an option in the settings to turn it off "dont auto add shortcuts"

If you mean the behaviour that is the app icon shortcut being placed on your homescreen when you install a new app from the Play Store, then that is the Play Store itself.
There is a option inside the Play Store to disable it from auto placing shortcuts on your homescreen for new apps.
Thanks guys : )

When i'm in the system (non-oui) launcher and i drag an icon of a system app to the top to remove it, i get an error that it can't be removed. However the icon still disappears from the homescreens for some apps. The app is still visible in the app manager in settings and an icon can be added to the oui interface. The app isn't disabled
Can anyone tell me how i can get all invisible app icons back in my homescreens? I have a 1gb/8gb 2100mhz developers edition model with the latest stock software.
As a temporary solution i've installed an app drawer app...
