You mean icons in app drawer?

No, I mean in the apps session. I ended up being able do it with an app specific option. But if anybody knows if (and how) it can be made through system options, it still could be helpful.

if you mean to hide in setting>app section then you can freeze the app and i dont think you have any way to hide it or make it a system app so that i will be shown only in app apps section not in downloaded app

You can make any app a system app
In ROM Toolbox by jrummy you press on the app in app manager and one of the options is to make it a system app (you might need to swipe the options to see that one)
Once it is a system app it won't show up in downloaded apps, will be in safe mode, and you can disable it

[REQUEST] Simple apk to start a activity.

Hi all can a make a request for some one to make me a simple apk to add a icon to the app drawer and launch a activity I dont want the app to have a ui I just need it to launch a activity. This will be for a custom ROM. This is a script that would do the same thing.
am start -n com.authentec.TrueSuiteMobile/com.authentec.TrueSuiteMobile.NavigationConfiguration
Also could the app be named Finger navigation. Thanks

some apps dont go into the app drawer basically I know I can just make a shortcut on the desktop to the selected activity but I would like a installable apk that launches the above activity from the app drawer not as a shortcut on the desktop. If any one can make this I will be very greatfull.
The activity is a selected page in a motorola app that moto decided to hide from us.

[Q] Hiding apps in Sense 3.6

Does anyone know of a ROM, MOD, or app that allows the user to hide apps in the Sense app drawer? That's pretty much the only reason I use a third-party launcher, now that Sense 3.6 has folders...

Probably not the option you want, but if you never use an app you can "freeze" it using titanium backup and that will hide it from the drawer.
That's what I do with the stocks app and such. It let's me use sense and get rid/hide a few apps I never use.
Would be a cool mod if someone could make a selectable list for the app drawer. Hopefully Htc adds the functionality some day.

As far as I know, there is a file that controls what is seen in the tray but it's only read during the first boot after a rom install.
I believe the only way you can "hide" apps is by disabling them. You can do this by going into Settings>Apps and select whichever app you want to disable.
This will remove the apps from being seen in your app drawer and prevent them from being active.

{REQ} Note 3 TouchWiz Launcher with Ability to Hide Apps

Hi,
I flashed the Note 3 Launcher, the original one I previously had on 4.3 had the ability to hide apps in app drawer, but the N3 one doesnt. Can someone guide me on how to hide them without an app? Or can someone modify it?
Please I dont want another launcher, just the N3 launcher with this ability. Thanks

No frikin idea why they got rid of that...there's like 10 apps I always hide from the drawer...I'm using the LG G2 launcher till that feature is brought back..its pretty solid. Except for the lock screen settings which don't work.don't need em anyways since the functionality isn't there.

That doesn't hide apps... it disables them (and hides them). We need something that only hides the app for example I want to hide the SuperSU app, adaway app... which Samsungs built in hide apps allowed us to do.
Here's the note 3 twizz launcher with blue text by Claude. It has the ability to hide apps as well. If not you could always use nova launcher

Hi Mate ,
I was looking for something like this for the I9500 ( S4) , this works on the S4 with Omega V19 but it disables the app and when you ask to see the dsabled apps it FC , where you got this from, looks promising needs polishing but looks good

App icons missing from homescreen

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...

In app manager find the launcher and clear its data.this simply refresh the launcher and make it create lost icons again.

Auto-hide Navbar when launching widescreen apps

Is it possible to auto-hide the navbar if I start a widescreen game/app?
Maybe with a xposed module.
In the Z2 stock rom the navbar hides when I start an app.
I'm using CM11.

app settings via xposed
just change the screen mode to imersive or forced
Thx again for your helpful answer (like in the eXistenZ Rom thread) but I think I'm using the wrong module now.
I've tried a module called "Immerse Me", this is my solution, but activates in vertical screen too without open any apps.
The other module called "App Settings" is to annoying to setup some permissions for every single app.
You got a screenshot of the correct app and name? Or better a link
