I have duplicate Facebook icons (two x Facebook 2) after turned on app twin. May I know how to remove it become one only?
Don't know how or if you can remove if you want to use app twin- this is an EMUI setting.
I mean what I have now is 1 x Facebook and 2 x Facebook2, total 3 Facebook icons. How can I remove 1 of Facebook2 icon?
If you have Nova launcher you can put them in to a folder but with a swipe up option it then only shows 1 icon until you swipe up then it opens a folder.
Just an option if you cannot remove them.

Yeah, press and hold on the messaging button and wait till it lets you change it to another app then select the icon you want.
But when I do that it offers me just few shortcuts and there is no shortcut for chompSMS

did you click applications in the menu with just a few?
no, I didnt. I got it now. Thank you very much
and is it possible to change language of launcher ?
Yeah, you can change it in the settings, they're still adding new languages all the time.
Where can I change the language in launcher pro, I didn't find the menu.

i tried to start the application using titanium backup, but it doesnt give the option to open app...
im trying to do it by editing manifest.xml. i know there apps to hide anothers app..
if you have any idea of how to, ill appreciate it...
(im not an expert on this, and i dont even know if im asking in the right forum)
Hey, did you come across a solution? I'm facing exactly the same problem right now: The App's gone from the drawer but no longer executable by no means.
Sorry for bumping this old thread, but I endured reading about 10 pages of search results without success.
Thanks in advance!
You can use my app "App Quarantine" to do the job. You can disable the app in question (so it's no longer in the application drawer) and re-enable it as you want. Therefore you could use the home screen widget for quickly launching the app.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately I'm searching for a solution to get along without any 3rd party app.
Which means, I want the app to be "set invisible" before even installing it on the phone. I'd really like to know, which file of the apk has to be edited in which way to achieve this.
It'd be totally fine if it simply didn''t appear on the drawer.
Any other ideas?
I have an idea.
I have replaced the icons with a completely transparent .png image and recompiled the apk.
Remember you should not change the file name of the original icon, just replace the content.
I have used apk editor pro for this work.
The app will be in the launcher or app drawer but it will remain invisible.
You should also replace the app name with 3 to 5 spacebars.You can remember the position of the app in the app drawer.
Everyone will see you tapped on a empty space and a app started
I have tested this.
So you can be sure.
One more thing
If you see any folder like mipmap_anydpi_xxx in /res you should delete it

Im searching for app thats allow to change the icon and app name in main menu and home screen. free od paid version - doesnt matter
I know that are launchers like: adw, launcher pro and nova but they only hide the app !
of coure there are few apps in market like: app namer editor, app renamer but they only create the shortcut on main screen.
I can edit *apk files oraz files in data folder but all this possibilites are useless and hard to done by someone with no skill and needed to be done every time when ROM reinstall
Im searching something nice and easy to use: Choose app --> edit name and change the icon, save and quit.
On my galaxy s2 desktop i have orphan icons. They are gray and named as the original program
that reside ?(and still exist) on a different folder.
I. am looking for a program or a way to delete them.
(If you do delete the ORIGINAL program deletes too)
2. Or i like to develop my own program so how do i ?
(i do develop with Android)
3. The above WITHOUT rooting if possible
On stock TW Rom, long press on the respective icon and drag to the trash can that appears on top of the screen.

NOOOOOO it will delete the application too since there are 2 icons linked to the same application
on which one is orphan
OK, I did the search and came up nothing. But I noticed that Google managed to put a folder in the app drawer, how can I?
Open app drawer
Open menu
Select view apps by
Select "custom"
Open menu again
Select "edit/uninstall apps"
Now just drag an app over another and it will create a folder.
Once you create a folder, you can sort apps however you want again. By editing them from any view now, you can add to that folder.

So cool... Thanks... There is still a lot I need to learn... :highfive:
Nice... now how do I remove that damn Google folder and put the apps in it back in the app drawer where they belong?
