I would like to share an Idea of how to hide your favorite & personal application in your smart phone, with a very quick and easy way.
Hide the applications you want from your app drawer.
Download an application called Appshaker from google market, and install it.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.prodigen.appshaker&hl=en
Put a shortcut of the application on your homescreen.
Open Appshaker, and pick the applications you have already hide from the app drawer.
Minimize Appshaker.
Now shake your Device, and you will find the list of your hidden applications.
Appshaker should be active in taskmanager in order to launch on shaking your device.

The icons in menu cant be deleted. However, most alt launchers will let you hide icons in the menu.

Aha, what is with apps/games what i downloaded can I move them?
Your app drawer contains all apps on your phone, usually in alphabetical order... some launchers allow you to hide apps, some allow your to create folders within the drawer to group them, some allow you to re-order the drawer..
Personally, I prefer to leave all the apps in the drawers and create shortcuts to them (by dragging and dropping as you mentioned) onto the desktop and categorising the pages.. ie, I have a page of favourite games, a page of tools/ utilities, a page of media related stuff!, and a central home page with a clock and meridian music widget on it.. and finally, and page with a full page calendar widget on it.
Is it possible to hide apps in touchwiz application draw like go launcher? Thanks.
I don't think this is possible in the default TwLauncher.
What I do to 'hide' the application (from the drawer) is to freeze them with Titanium Backup, but that way you will not be able to launch it unless you unfreeze the application first, so you cannot use it if you, for example, want the program on the homescreen but not in the drawer. You could also make a folder in your drawer and put all the unwanted/unused icons in there, that way you only use up one icon space.
1. Is it possible to replace homescreen with app launcher? I mean when you press home button, homescreen shows up, is it possible to force phone to open app drawer instead of homescreen when you press home button?
2. Or/and maybe there is a launcher which shows all your apps not alphabetically but by date and also with ability to arrange the apps however you want?
Go launcher sounds like it is what you are looking for.
In gesture settings you can set home key action to open app drawer instead. It also has app sorting option for by latest date first and earliest date first (and alphabetically of course). It also allows for you to drag icons into any order you would like in the app drawer.

Doesnt work, works only if I'm already in the homescreen and then press home button, just then app drawer shows up :/ Also tried Apex launcher, same thing..
Use something like Quick Launch to open an alternative app drawer. There are free alternatives to this app, it's just the one I use. Alt Drawer is the app drawer I use, you can find it on XDA. I open it via long-press of search.
The MIUI launcher automatically puts all apps on the home screen, and by default adds them in the order they're downloaded. With some tweaking you could get it the way you want. There's a modded version for all roms somewhere.
Edit: You can sort Alt Drawer by last installed, alphabetically, or most used. Use an app to set it to open when you hit the home button and you should have what you want. It has a lot of other neat options too.
What I want is a configurable cascadable app organizer and launcher for the Gear S.
First it's a fully standalone app.
Next it should be compatable with an app shortcut from watch styler,
and it should realize which Watch Styler app shortcut (#) it was invoked by.
Then it should have a full screen of app shortcuts (a settable number 4,6,9,12),
with user settable text/image to help organize the apps by use or type.
If you invoked this app directly, not from a shortcut,
you might get a master screen that has a app settings icon
and number app shortcuts a user could then make, if they wished,
match app shortcuts that the user setup on clock face.
Then each new settable shortcut could select another app, even another copy of this app,
the app should also get a copy of the icon of the app that it has been configured to shortcut to.
This is an attempt to get number apps on a number of SMALL screens organized for a specific users usage.
It's just and idea, and I am NOT going to develop it.
I would buy it though!

Hi
samsung a520F 2017, 7.0 OS, firmware a520FXXU2BQIDm rooted with supersu 2.82sr5/suhide sbin install.
I am trying to hide app from appearing in Settings/Apps. The app does not have an icon otherwise on desktop or home, so I cannot use something like HideitPro (which is fine, as long as it has an icon on the desktop somewhere, since it only lists apps with icons).
I have googled extensively on the topic, but haven't found a solution.
Is there a way I can create an Icon for the app to appear on home or desktop, OR a way to just hide the app from app list? I think if I create an icon, it will list in HideitPro and I can then go from there and hide it from both desktop and settings/apps.
any ideas appreciated.
