yo all
forgive me
but how can i hide apps from home screen
without using private space
cant find gesture doing that
thx in-advance
Download "Tweaker for Huawei" app from Play Store, open the app and find "Hidden application menu", click "Show", them toggle the button to display "On" and click "Apply". After that restart your phone and after restart you should be able to display the hidden apps menu using pinch gesture on the homescreen, start with two fingers in the middle and pinch out to left and right sides of the screen with them, then you can add apps that will be hidden. Those apps won't show on the homescreen and in search results.

I'm running touchwiz, and deleted the web icon from the app drawer. I have a web icon on my homescreen, but how the heck do I get it back into the app drawer.
How can I restore deleted icons in the app drawer?
Hey,
You can't delete the icon from the app draw without uninstalling the app. Since the icon is on your desktop then you have not deleted it.
TW allows you to organize/customize the app draw but there will always be the default setting with all apps. I have not used TW in a long time but, open the app draw and hit the menu button. If I remember correctly you will have options for custom app draw but there will also be the default, which will have all of your apps.

You actually can delete them, I know because I did LOL
You can delete it, by going to your app drawer, then hitting menu, then custamizable grid, then edit the grid, then pull the icon out of the app drawer and put it in your dock, now its not longer in your app drawer. Now put the icon from the dock into the trash, and now its gone!
I have a backup icon on my homescreen, but now, I can't seem to reverse the process and get the icon back into the app drawer
I guess the problem is, technically the icon is still somewhere is on my phone, just not in my app drawer! I want it back into the app drawer.
Sorry, maybe I was not clear. When I say app draw I'm talking about the default app draw. This display is not"customizable" therefore you cannot delete the icons unless you delete the app. You must be using a customizable grid.
You get the icon back by either using the default grid, or editing the customizable grid. Sound like you have the basics of the latter, just play around with. GL

Yes, I'm using the stock samsung touchwiz customizable app drawer. Trust me you can remove the icon from the app drawer, it lets you. The problem is, putting back in.
Yeah, SykesAT, you're incorrect. Give this a shot:
Tap "Applications"
Press "Menu"
Tap "View Type"
Tap ""Customizable Grid"
Press "Menu"
Tap "Edit"
Tap "-" (minus sign) on the apps that allow it.
Sadly, Sammy, I don't know how to get them back. Uninstall/reinstall an option?

The minus sign is uninstall, and it only allow unisntall not system apps. Web browser is a sys app and you shouldn't be able to delete it. Are you sure is not in the dock not the desk?
When you place an item in the dock, it desapears from the drawer...
You can always do a factory reset...... Not fun but it is something.....
Ok so messed around with it some more, and I thought I had trashed the icon from the dock. It appears it didn't go from dock to trash, it went from dock to app drawer, but out of alphabetical order so I wasn't seeing it.
So here is the new issue:
Techinically, I guess I want 2 copies of the icon, meaning.
I custamize my grid, I take the web icon OUT of the app drawer and put it into my dock. Meaning now the web icon is in my dock, and there is no longer a web icon in my app drawer.
However, I would like a copy, meaning I want the web icon in both my dock and app drawer. Anyway to make multiple copies of the icon? I know you can make multiple copies of icons on your homescreens, but seems like touchwiz doesn't give me the option. Either only lets me put it either in the dock or the app drawer, but not both places at the same time
I used desktop visualizer to create a second copy. Why not use a secondary web app like dolphin hd or opera? Just a thought....
Hi,
Is there an app that would hide app which we are using? Just like in N9. I'm annoyed cause my back key light is always turning on.

dude press the home button or use swipe pad ..................
I was using swipepad, but couldn't set it to show homescreen cause ADW.Launcher EX doesn't show ADW in applications, and Swipepad shows 9 applications, not just simply one :/

Solved, using skyfish app.
Hi guys is there a *secure* way to hide android apps without requiring to root?
By secure I mean that the invisible apps cannot be easily found by other users and would require password.
I know Go launcher provide hiding app function, but it is very stupid. Anyone can just click on the "hide app" button and see what is being hidden....
Sorry, but I don't think that it is possible without root.
Really? ...sad
but Thanks anyways
Other launchers hide the "show hidden" option better.
There are a couple good ways to hide apps on android, and without root too!
Launcher pro's hide apps option is buried in their preferences, not everyone will see it unless they really know what they're looking for. Another app is called smart lock. There a lite and pro version. This app can lock any apps you program to it and also give a false "force close" notification when attempting to open a locked app. A certain function will then lead you to a password pin screen to unlock it. For quick access to a hidden app you can assign swipe gestures to the icons on the dock. Where as if they're pressed normally they will open the default app. Swipe gesture to open an alternative app of your choice. Hope this helps?
I recommend Clauncher. You can use two fingers press the screen and move inwards to open a hidden app window.

It may sound a little novice, but I tried to find the option, but couldn't find any.
Is there any ways to remove the "Google Search Box" on the home screen of OPX ?
Yeah. Disable the App called "google App" and you have a beautiful black screen.

Use another launcher?
Couldn't you just hold onto the bar and remove it? If not, another launcher like Nova Launcher would be able to do it.

No, unfortunately that doesn't work with the built-in bar, only ones you add yourself as widgets.
I've found an app file called base.apk in /data/app/ com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox-1 - could this be changed, renamed etc as a solution for this? I'm not game to try because I don't want to break anything.
I used Debloater to uninstall the Google Search App. Than its gone. If your device is not rooted you could just try to deactivate it. I am not sure if you can do it in the Apps section in the settings but Debloater does nearly the same without root. It just deactivates the selected Apps.
Be aware that if you deactivate the app "close all running apps" button will also disapear!
Hope that helps you out.
If you want to remove the google search bar and keep the Google Now Launcher and its possibilities I only know of the following solution :
- Root your phone
- Install Xposed framework
- Install Xposed GEL Settings which has an option to hide the search bar
If you don't want to keep the Google Now functionnalities then just go with another Launcher.

If you disable Google App, you can not use close all open apps X button. :crying:

This is such a great find!!! Thanks.
Edit: however, the search bar is still present in the recent apps screen.
I lost google on tap from the application KSetting (mate 8) to change the button long press Home, but I have no way to return to Google on tap, except to erase all data from mobile, in the application I can choose a shortcut, I wanted to know if there was any activity shortcuts to open google on tap.
Erasing the KSetting app data or uninstalling that app won't fix it...? Not familiar with the app as nothing comes up in a quick Google search for it.

On Tap is part of the Google app. If you open it and go into the slide out Menu located on the top left for the Settings, you should see the option to enable it there.
