Hey all, the question is simple - and I know I'm not the first person to think it - is it possible to hide icons in the launcher. I am currently running Kang-o-rama's latest build of cyanogen's rom which uses helixlauncher2. According to Cy's site, which links the here (h**p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538871), this should be possible. That said, I have yet to see anyone implement the feature into an app other than the Pure Widgets.
Does anyone know of an app that lets me do this? I have WAY too many font packs, "premium" keys/upgrades etc. which are clogging up my launcher, and would love to hide them without losing access to the underlying program as I would if I used something like vault.
Let me know and thanks!
Jason
Tag home on the market maybe something for you to checkout.
I believe Advanced Launcher lets you hide apps from you drawer.

Hi guys
I know this topic area has been posted before, but I wondered whether there was a way to sort the apps alphabetically now specifically that FroYo has been released?
I tried looking at one method, but I couldn't find what they were suggesting under settings.
in the list-mode it's alpabetical though.
I know. But I don't like it. I like Grid View. I know it's picky but it'd be a really simple thing for Samsung to do... :/
Search in market for TouchWiz Application Sorter.
It requires rooted phone and stock TouchWiz 3.0.
Hope I'm not hijacking here, but is there any launcher except Touchwhiz that has a list display? I'd actually prefer a pure text list display with no icons, but that's unlikely I'd guess.
There is a modified version of touchwiz for froyo in either the Apps or development forums that does that and s also supports landscape mode. Works great

Hi
because of the Touchwiz 3.0 issue with not sorting alphabetically in grid view (crazy development by the way) i switched to GO Launcher EX which is much much better. It has many more features and is still quite small.
Cheers
Alex
I know this topic is rather old, but there is a solution.. although a dumb one.
1. Go into settings.
2. Go into Applications
3. Select all applications
4. Go down to TWLauncher or something to that effect.
5. Clear Data
Back out of everything... you'll notice TouchWiz is not working anymore. Press the home button and wait a bit or restart your device.
Everything now sorted properly.
**NOTE: I've had my home screens reset too, although this doesn't happen all the time.. If you decide to use this method, be prepared to add stuff to your home screen again (widgets, modified 4 buttons at the bottom, etc)**
"appzorter" downloadable from the market for free works fine to sort the apps alphabetically in the app drawer on touchwiz UI

Thank you very much. This is exactly what I was looking for.
Best app for sorting apps: appzorter. Download it from the Android market. It's free.

Hey guys,
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S yesterday and loving the transition from iPhone to Android.
After talking to some android experts on a IRC, i have been able to install Android Froyo 2.2. The latest version. I have installed Odin and Voodoo Lag Fix. I have used quadrant and compared results before installing odin etc. I am not a root user currently and don't know how to be one on 2.2.
Now I want to install custom themes and icons. But I have no clue what to do. Like no idea.
I want my SGS to eventually look this.

I am really into designing and will want to eventually create my own skins so I am taking baby steps, and want to first learn how to install other peoples themes that they have made etc.
Looking forward to all your answers.
Thanks
Looks to me like they're using launcher pro.
The first one would be the hardest to get because you'll have to change the icons one by one using an app found in the market called desktop visualizer. It allows you to place png files (pictures) as icons and assign a certain task to each one along with renaming them. They're are also using fancy widget for the clock or beautiful widgets. The status bar on top is most likely changed by a rom or theme.
The second one is very easy. All it is is launcher pro with it's dock icons (icons at the bottom) changed out. With wallpaper found in many wallpaper apps. A custom clock most likely found in the market and custom text clock and percentage widgets. Check out clockr if you want a text clock.
The third one again appear to be using launcher pro. Which by the way a home replacement app. Extended control app for the toggles. digital clock app found int the market. And a custom status bar.
I currently using have a G2 and I'm on cyanogenmod rom which allows altering aka customizing your status bar.
i don't proof read my post so forgive or my spelling and grammar.
You best bet to finding out the exact apps are going to the vibrant forums and looking for the huge homescreen picture thread and asking for help or asking with widgets they used. I'm sure if you'll find alot more answers there.
Edit: Better yet. Commonly used widgets.

I've searched through the forums, and I can't find an answer to this question:
Is there an app (or part of the framework.. or whatever is the appropriate area) that would allow me to get the look of the Android 1.6 app drawer with its slide-up/slide-out/pull-down feature? I had found one a while back (I don't remember the name.. something with panda in it, maybe), but the app was a full-fledged launcher with the drawer and the launcher wasn't any good.
I know it's a little nitpicky, but I like the UI idea of physically opening a drawer to see all my apps. If there's a way to extract it from 1.6 and drop it in, that would be ideal, but I'll admit I know next to nothing about how the Android system works.
On a side note, I'm running GB on Mosaic with Talon's kernel (at the moment), if that is of any use.
Thanks in advance, even if the answer is no.
i need same thing to, i think is called slide drawer if you find/found it please let me know (for now i found only launchers witch change all things)
The panda laucher you were talking about would be called panda home if that helps any.

Thanks. I couldn't remember the name.
Yeah, that's it - Panda Home has a drawer style called "1.5 drawer", and it's exactly what I'm looking for.
Now I need to figure out how to get that same functionality out of the Android source.
Well, not me per se - I don't know how to do that.
So I guess at this point I ask politely if there are any Android wizards out there who know how to extract the app drawer out of an old version of Android and make is something that could be dropped in a current version.
The "Tag Home Launcher" is what you are looking for. It features a slide up app drawer like in Android 1.6. Only the design of the drawer knob is a litte bit different. I'd like it to be exactly as the one in Android 1.6 but I could't get that. Tag Home is as close as I got.

Thanks for the heads-up on that launcher. It's got the drawer I'm looking for, but it looks like the same issue as Panda Home - it's part of a launcher. I'm looking for something that could either be used as a widget in place of the app drawer for whatever launcher I'm using.
The more I think about it, maybe I'm going about this the wrong way. Perhaps it would be best for me to point my request at the makers of the launcher I like, and see if they can implement it into the launcher (horse before the cart and all that). If anyone has any more ideas, I'm definitely interested, but I think this might be a moot point.
Is it possible to change the dock shortcuts?
If so, how?
(i dont want ADW eller launcher pro (paid for both)
Have you tried Go Launcher EX? Completely free, stable and quick. Have it on mine and works a treat. Can then change what apps launch. So I have Opera as my browser, Go Dialer as my phone.
Thx bro, but maby I was not clear enough..
*i DO NOT want any other launcher than the stock one*
(at least until someone can tell me its not possible to change the dock shortcuts )
But thanks anyway, i know and have tried a lot of the homelaunchers, but it just like the stock one, i like the appdrawer where things are sortet in 2 groups, included apps, and downloaded apps.. also arranged alphabeticaly.. makes it much easier to find stuff
its not possible, maybe with some hard coding?
Oh well... ADW it is then

I know what you mean the appdrawer was one of the things I liked about the stock launcher as well.
Go Launcher has the ability to group programs into folders, which makes it easier for me. Doesn't look as nice as stock but works just as well.
Not sure if the other launchers also do this
I'm sure it's possible to change by editing LGLauncher.apk.
I don't have the knowledge or time to look into it though..
I couldn't stop myself having a quick look into the apk.
DockingMenu.smali has a lot of references to some dragging and dropping, did anyone even try draggin new applications onto the dock?
In stock launcher just go into the app list, select edit and drag into the dock whatever app you need.

Does anybody know if theres a way to hide apps in the trebuchet launcher app drawer? I know other lauchers like Holo and Nova can do it, but it would be nice if the stock launcher for CM10 could do it too.
Nope. Cant be done.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2
Well, thanks for the to-the-point answer.
I figured as the primary launcher for such a customizable ROM like CM10, that might be something they looked into.
Any recommendations on launchers that can do this for free?

i know iam ressurecting an very old thread but its one of the first results searching for trebuchet and hiding apps in google so i think i shoult write the solution here.
i dont know for 10.0 but in 10.1 it CAN be done
unfortuante its an awefully hidden option
you have to go to setting - launcher - app - hideapps
i knew i saw it today when i walked trough the menus lol
upside it always shows all apps and you can simple toggle on of (unlike samsung touchwiz option)
but sadly the launcher is really the weak point here when it comes to organizing apps

Yeah haha, they finally put it into cm 10.1. That's why this thread died.
To anyone who might still want to hide apps in cm 12. and above ,just go to launcher options and down click protect app. Do what is neccessary and select apps you want to hide and protect
