Google experience launcher but stock app drawer? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm using gel on my htc one. Overall I like it, but I prefer the stock app drawer with the ability to use folders. Is there a way to replace the app drawer, or change the app drawer shortcut to the stock one? I know launchers such as nova allow you to make activity shortcuts. I made one for blink feed, but can't find the activity name for the app drawer. Any ideas?

Quick Contacts

Is anyone else having issues with the quick contacts widget in alternate launchers? My other stock blur widgets work in Go Launcher except this one. Running Theory's ROM 1.2 if that makes a difference.
Doesn't work for me either in Go Launcher.
I was wondering the same thing. I swear I saw a post stating that the moto blur widgets worked with alternate launchers, but I cant get this widget to work with ADW, LPP or GO launcher.
I like that widget a lot.
Bump... has anyone had any success with getting this to work properly? I actually liked the stock contacts app for the short time I was running the stock launcher.
It would seem it adds the widget, but it's invisible and doesn't function... I am able to long press and delete it with go launcher.
Still no dice in Go Launcher. On the other hand, I have been using this lately and am really liking it.

It actually automatically fills up with contacts based on how recently/frequently you interact with them, pretty nice if you ask me.
Its a blur app and u need the blurred launcher.

That is not true. Other blur widgets work outside of the blur launcher. Also, this widget shows in the list of available widgets from other launchers but when you add it (in my exerience on Go Launcher) it adds an empty space to your screen that you can't say unless you try to put another widget down as it will say the spot is occupied already. You can delete the empty spot though.
Any update on this issue or do those who use alternate launchers just out of luck with this widget?
+1 you need a blur launcher its built into /system/apps it like having a razor blur camera and downloading it and won't work correctly at least from what I have read over the months on alt launcher you pick the widget and it won't even be visable

Any way to do this?

Without using a separate app, is there a way to link desktop visualizer to open the app drawer of ADW launcher? I know you can long press on the home screen, and press launcher actions, then click open app drawer and change that icon, but I want it bigger, so I need to use DVR. I know I can link DVR to Alt Drawer, since that is a separate app, but I would prefer to use the default ADW app drawer. I've tried all the shortcuts for ADW from the custom shortcuts menu, and none of them open the app drawer, so that's not a option. Any ideas?

How about creating the wallpaper with the icon you wan inserted, then overlay it with a transparent icon of the app drawer.

Sense 5 App Drawer

Anyone else dont like the fact on Sense 5, if you want a app shortcut to be on the bottom app bar then it gets removed from the app drawer? So you cant have it in both the drawer and on the home screen! Hope this gets modded by the awesome devs on here.
Why would you want it still in the app drawer if you have made a shortcut to it for easy access
I agree with craftycarper1 as I don't see why you would seek to start an app from the app drawer after you created a shortcut for it. If you want to see the list of all apps there are many apps and usual android settings menu to do so.
On the other hand I have to admit that I don't like this Sense 5 app drawer. It too minimalist and does not allow even basic customizations.
Tell me if I'm wrong but It does not allow horizontal scroll, app groups on other sorting than custom. I hope these little features will be added soon.

App Drawer edit?

Was wondering if with the stock Samsung Launcher Touch Wiz if you can edit your items in the app drawer? For instance:
1. Hide Apps
2. Hide App names
Or do you still need to install something like Nova launcher to do that? I'm thinking about getting the S6 over my Moto X 2014....

You can have it back with other launchers.
But you have to look around for a good one.

Hiding apps in app drawer

Hi,
is there any possibilty to hide apps in app drawer like in Tab S1?
No, there's no functionality in S2's TouchWIz launcher dedicated specifically to that.
Yet some apps can be "disabled", as you probably noticed. When you drag an app from the app drawer, at the top of the screen you sometimes see an option to "disable" the app (as opposed to uninstalling it). This is not applicable to all apps though.
Another alternative in TouchWiz is to create a separate drawer folder (say, "Annoying") and moving all undesired application icons into that folder. That does not completely "hide" them, but at least gets them out of the way and reduces clutter in the drawer.
However, if you want full flexibility in this regard, then forget about using the default TouchWiz launcher. Install Nova Launcher (or some other launcher, if you prefer something else) and use it instead of TouchWiz. In Nova you can freely hide apps from the app drawer (withous "disabling" or uninstalling them).

I can turn off apps but not hide them.
