Trebuchet launcher hide apps

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.

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?

But like the androidlost app is able to hide itself from the app drawer, why can't I do that with other apps?

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

Google experience launcher but stock app drawer?

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?

Hiding App icon in App drawer

Hi Folks
I am looking forward to hide "App Icon" in app drawer. I have searched various options on playstore, but all require rooting.
Secondly, is there any way to create a folder in app drawer where we can put all unused apps?
Please guide me on this

Better would be using apex or nova launcher, Apex Launcher takes nearly same RAM as default launcher
Both have ability to hide apps from drawer

how to hide app icons?

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.

Sort of the same concept, hit the top right corner - Edit - then disable the apps you want to hide.
If you still want to use it but have it hidden then I'm not sure.
I think there are launchers with that option available.

Nova Launcher

with note5 samsung has removed hide apps feature.. Also you can access three dots menu by touching and holding back capacitive key in the compaitable app or window..

I downloaded nova launcher prime cause the free one wouldn't let you hide your app icons. Wish the phone still had the feature like it did before. But all works now I can hide my icons. It's not that I don't use the apps I want to hide it's that I don't want everyone seeing what apps I have like my kids to start lol.

hi,
you will be surprised. I would guess about 95 % of the Samsung apps widgets work with Nova Prime I should know as i just again checked my Nova launcher widgets and most of Samsung apps widgets in TouchWiz, i can pin widget, in Nova.
good luck
