Recently I switched to drawer menu and found out that drawer menu is incomplete. What I thought could be useful is having the ability to hide all the stock apps from the drawer because they are already present in the home screen. And also having the ability to separate the apps into categorize based on their first character (due to being sorted from a-z).
Is there a way to tweak around with this functionality? (I know nothing is impossible and therefore I asked to check weather someone have already solved this problem.)

So I have been using Next Launcher for three years. I love themes and creating my own UI. I hide docs and create themes that are almost completely free of standard icons. To do this I use Zooper Widget 4x4 (or any other that I extend from top to bottom and side to side. I fill the entire screen and as I said even hide the dock as well as the status bar. Well the other day as I was working on an existing one the 4x4 widget (largest widget available) stopped filling the screen. Even when I go to resize, it will not allow me to completely fill the screen.
I have tried the following to fix:
Reboot (sim card removed)
Uninstalled Next Launcher (and zooper) then re installed.
Tried other launchers (they all fixed the problem however I need Next as it is the only launcher I am aware of that allows you to literally place icons anywhere with ZERO grid). I even used Next Light and again, the problem was gone. Problem here, after the trial period you can no longer "hide Dock".
I am certain it is a Next Launcher issue but have yet to fix it. Im wondering...
Anyone else having this problem? Does anyone have any ideas and or does anyone know of any other launchers with the same freedoms?
Attached is a photo of my latest UI as an example as to why I need complete icon placement freedom as well as no boarders.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
This section is for Themer-related queries only, sorry about that
Hello, I want to use a different app than the one that is assigned to one of those shortcuts on the lockscreen but when I go through the list of possible apps there are just a few and not a single one that I would like to use.
For example, the lockscreen shortcut change option offers me only one dialer app to assign to the shortcut eventhough i use an entirely different one and there is no other apps browser, which would let me see/choose more apps.
Is there any way how to change the shortcut to whatever app I want?
Nevermind, found out how to do it. I had to re-install CM because of a different issue and now when I choose ,,Apps'' it finally shows me more apps I can choose from, that thing didn't do anything before.
I'm pretty certain its using the stock AOSP lock screen, but the enable widgets option and add widgets screen are missing. If I long press on the one widget that's there (Lenovo's clock widget), the arrange widgets screen or whatever its called comes up, but there's only one widget on it (the clock) and no plus button. Is there any way I can force enable this? Something in build.prop, or maybe an xposed module (I have xposed framework installed)? This isn't a huge issue, the music and alarm widgets show up when their associated apps are being used, but it would be nice to replace the music and clock widgets with CyanogenMod cLock and Apollo (I copied the APKs off of another tablet running CM11 from /system/apps and installed them on the Lenovo, they work great so far even though its running the stock ROM), or be able to swipe through my emails and calendar events without unlocking the screen. I won't bother asking for a Cyanogen lock screen apk to replace the stock lock screen, since I searched through the system files and Google and can't find evidence that such a thing exists, but it would be awesome if it was floating around somewhere.
Hi!
I am using GravityBox with Xposed installed on my "Vernee Apollo" phone (the 2K version not the "Lite" version) which runs Android 6.0. The phone has full root.
Using GravityBox with Android 6.0 you have to realize that I don't know what exact and complete functions have GravityBox on its upper versions for later android versions, so I have to ask for developers for a few upgrades for the "Lockscreen Tweaks" section if I may, based on "GravityBox [MM]" only, please! Thank you for your understanding!
To get to the point here, below are the functions/settings I would like to see for the next releases of GravityBox:
1. Add More shortcuts than the 7 standard ones. Maybe we need to have 8, 10, 15 shortcuts on the lockscreen window, displayed on 2-3 rows. I am referring to these particular standard icons and not the "Pie controls" and/or "Application launcher" (I am not using these two sections/functions at all).
2. Add an option to make these 7 icons for these 7 shortcuts to be visible or unvisible/hidden on the lockscreen window. What I mean is the icons to become visible only when a notification arrives and after I see that linked notification, that (those) icon(s) to become hidden again. In this way we would have a clear lockscreen, only with the clock and/or date.
3. Upgrade the standard (stock) icons for the added 7 icons on the lockscreen (those stock white ones) , with updated icons! For instance, the icon for "Messenger" (from Facebook) app is not present in the stock white icons list and I have to use the "Hangouts" (Google) icon for it. You might consider to add (update the stock white integrated list icons) with more relevant icons for representative world wide known applications (like "Messenger" and so on).
4. Add the posibility to move down this 7 standard/stock white icons row on the lockscreen window, anywhere we want on the screen, between hour/date and unlock key icon from the bottom. In this way we can organize the lockscreen visual appearence as we please.
5. Add a function to add a PIN code for locking the screen directly from GravitBox (maybe a home screen shortcut for this function too) and not to use android stock security settings for that.
Thank you for your time and I hope you will add these functions/settings soon!
Have a wonderful life!
I am super annoyed by the fact that only option to arrange icons is alphabetically.
Whenever i Install a new app, it displaces all my icons and I would like to keep a custom layout or at least get the new installed app to appear at the end
