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

[Q] Only shortcuts of apps in 4.2.2 ?

In android 4.2.1 , if you moved app to the bar at the bottom or directly on your homescreen, you MOVED IT from app drawer. Now in android version 4.2.2, you just CREATE A SHORTCUT, so apps in the bar at the bottom are duplicated with apps with the app drawer and same with the apps on home screen. Is there any possibility to switch it back like in android 4.2.1 ?

on 4.2.1 if you moved apps from the drawer , they disappeared in the drawer. Now they stay there and only shortcut is created. Its really annoying for me because all apps i have on home screen or in the bottom bar are duplicated also in App drawer and my layout in app drawer is now messed up because of this. I can live with that, but i liked the way in 4.2.1 better

HTC have changed it so you have both

What do you mean? Apps on both places or both options ( move/create shortcut) available?

Thread moved to proper subforum.

App in both places, stock 4.2.2 works like this as well (shortcut and app drawer icon)

You can always hide the app in the drawer. Doesn't that work for you?

^ This.
Also I lol'd at this thread a little bit. Not because OP's gripe isn't legitimate, mind you, but because there were scores of threads when the HTC One first came out complaining about the app disappearing from the drawer when it was put on the dock. I found the irony chuckle worthy.

Ehm, if you hide app in the drawer, you hide also the shortcuts of the app

Personally, i like this on my Nexus 7 , but on HTC One, where you can switch to "custom" in app drawer and have folders there , it seems weird to have same folder in app drawer and also in the dock. But i'll just have to live with that.

Sorry I didn't remember that as I use Nova Launcher where you can hide them and still have the shortcuts.
Why don't you gather these duplicate icons in a folder then ? They will take less of your space.

Yeah, already tried that. But folders has limited capacity so i would need a number of folders, which is quite contraproductive.
Nevermind, it looks like i'll have to deal with this as i dont want to create any other folders or use any other launcher.
Just wanted to know, if there is any possibility how get switch this to the 4.2.1 behaviour.

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.

How to hide icons and get your ap drawer back

Editing since I found a solve for the issue I wanted to share. I didn't see this posted anywhere else
How to hide an app on a homescreen
Pinch two fingers together, put them on a homescreen, and swipe them apart. This will open something called the Hidden App Drawer. Hit the + sign to add apps to it. Any apps in here will not show up on your other homescreens. Go ahead and hide everything you don't want
Add app drawer
There are a few apps in the appstore that gibe you an app drawer, I got the one called AppDrawer (MIUI App Drawer). Install that, then drag the icon down to bottom row. Viola, you have an app drawer, and I confirmed that aps you hide via the method above still appear in the app drawer.
Hope others find this helpful

Got a new P8lite today, US Version. Holy cow does EMUI suck ass. Is there any way to hide an icon from a home screen? I press and hold and drag to the trash can, but that uninstalls it.
I have to be missing something I can't in 2016 a smartphone for retail purchase would not be able to remove an icon from a screen

try another launcher like Apex launcher or go launcher or nova launcher etc...

Yeah, thats not happening. Third party launchers always end up having some functionality of integration issues.
I've had this phone 2 hours and already packed it up fora return. It's a shame really, the hardware is nice, but EMUI is like a master class on how to **** up a user interface. I wish manufacturers would get with the program, build a good device, put stock android on it, and leave it the **** alone

Launcher?

Hi all,
What is the best launcher to install ?
The two things I want are to be able to hide apps, and to have to swipe up to access app drawer as opposed to having an icon for it.
I have tried a couple but the p20 original launcher always ends up taking over. Or with the Lawn launcher for some reason I could add the time/weather widget.
Thanks

Try Ruthless pixel launcher from XDA labs. (If it crashes go to settings and enable storage permission; Bug with pixel launchers on huawei phones)

Cheers, can you remove the Google search bar at bottom screen or is that there all the time? If so I'll download later!

I can't find in the settings:
Get rid of Google assistant on home page, and hide the useless apps in the app drawer I don't want to see?
Cheers!

It's right there in dock settings. "Bottom search bar" Disable the feed in the bottom of "At a glance" settings.
To hide apps simply long press, edit and tick hide app icon.

On the at a glance I only have the attached. And long pressing an app only gives me app info or some generic options?

Long press the homescreen to access settings. You sure you got the right app?

I have now, cheers! Does the date at the top pick up the weather when it syncs or will I need to download a new widget for date and weather in one?
Also how do you go about downloading different icon packs that will work with the launcher ?
Thanks for your help

Nova, Evie...there are many out there but these are my favorites. Huawei widgets don't seem to work on any custom launcher.

Evie Launcher has been my favorite for a really long time and matches both of your requirements. Plus, the ability to change Icon pack not only by pack but also one by one is a big plus. Smooth, clean and minimalistic and has a couple of cool features.

For me the best launcher which i always go back to is LawnChair and it's Google feed add-on.
It's a lot like the Pixel launcher but has a lot more settings.
Icon size, theming, weather provider, gestures, app hiding etc.
It's rapid too and fluid, and it's free
Make sure the launcher is set as the default one, if the 2nd launcher in use crashes then the only thing the system can do is revert back, if you're using lawnchair, use the latest version.
I have it installed and mine never reverts back.
Another way would be if you were rooted you could freeze the original launcher in titanium.

CPL wins hands down.

Most customizable. No contest
Total launcher.

Steep learning curve though

Long time on my previous phones I used Nova and Apex launcher. For 2 years now I am using Microsoft Launcher which supports icon notifications for free and I must say I'm still returning to it. I tried Evie launcher on my P20 Pro but for some reason it consumed the battery a lot. Microsoft launcher does not consume battery at all (always like 1 mAh <), its fast and stable, modern looking but different compared to "stock android looking" launchers.

I use Nova Launcher, as it gives me everything I need. If you have problems with reverting to the stock launcher you can try to lock the new launcher in resent
See this screen recording to know how

keeps on recovery from crashing all the time, ive changed the permissions as stated above as well

I use Nova, bought the prime when it was on sale awhile back for $0.50

Nova forever,
