Hey all, quick pre purchase question. Can you hide apps on the nexus 6? I don't care if you need an xposed mod or not, but I hate app clutter and wanted to know if you can hide them in your app drawer.

The stock Google Launcher does not have this feature. You'd have to download a 3rd party launcher to do this. Xposed will not currently work either as it doesn't support ART.
What carlz28 said. Most third party launchers have this feature, look into Apex, Nova. I recommend using Nova Launcher.
It depends on if you want to just hide it or disable it. If you disable an app, it disappears from the tray. I've done it with several default google apps that I never use.

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.

I don't think its possible to hide apps with the Rosie drawer..You have to use 3rd party launchers to do it...BUt just confirm this from others
u can use an app called hide it pro from market...it has an extension which allows u to hipe and lock apps as well..very useful app
Hide it pro
Use hide it pro, install Link2SD, after hiding the apps freeze hide it pro with link2sd
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.
I just got the note 5 use to have the S5. My question is on the S5 there was a way to hide icons so the apps icon couldn't be seen on the top right corner there were 3 little dots that you clicked on and selected hide apps the clicked on the apps you wanted to hide then done and now no one could see the app icons you hid. Is there a way or an app that will allow you to hide you app icons? I may have posted this in the wrong place if so please move to proper section. Thanks.
do you mean in the app drawer? there are third-party launchers that allow you to hide apps from showing in your app drawer. I don't use TouchWiz, so idk.

Yeah it was easy to hide your app icons in your app drawer before but now that I got this as a bday gift I don't see a way of doing that. What app is there that I can use that allows me to hide my app icons from my app drawer?
since the old CM ROM days on earlier HTC devices, I've been stuck loving ADW launcher. there's just some settings in it that keeps me sticking with it. I find most ppl to like the style of other launchers though.

You can just disable the apps that you don't want to see. I'm assuming if you don't want to see the apps then you won't be using them anyways? If you disable an app the icon will go away. You can always re-enable the apps at any time if needed.
You could also create a folder in the app drawer & throw all the apps you want to hide in there. Not really hiding the app icons but they'll be somewhat out of the way if there's a bunch you to want to remove. Better than nothing if you don't find a solution.

I downloaded Nova launcher prime cause the free version didn't let you hide the icons in your app drawer. It's not that I don't use the programs I want to hide it's that I don't want everyone else seeing what programs I have like the kids. Thanks for the help. Wish it was like it was before and not that you have to download a program now to get some features back.

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).
