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).

Heloo everyone. I am just wondering if there is a way to hide icons. There is something like that on the iphone called poof where the item is not deleted, just hidden. Thanks in advance.
Where do you want to hide the icons? Are you referring to the application drawer where all of the installed apps are listed? If so, LauncherPro (a replacement for Touchwiz) allows you do hide certain apps in preferences->general settings->hidden apps.
yes

Yes I got it thanks. Is there one like that for touchwiz though?
It's really quite a useful feature, since the number of utility apps you need to get the phone in some sort of workable order is astounding. Titanium Backup, One click this, one click that, Rom Manager, task managers, and on and on and on.
I am of the opinion that when I have chosen three apps in the dock, it is unnecessary that those apps appear in the drawer app as well. Is there a way to get them to like Samsung have done?
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?
Prior to Lollipop, there were plenty of apps that will work as a shortcut to expand the notification panel. This saves one having to reach up to pull down the status bar.
Now, with Samsung's Lollipop, none of those apps work anymore. Nova Launcher recently patched to allow for it, but I have seen no other app that works. This seems to be a problem with Samsung's implementation of LP.
Here is one app that works with AOSP LP:

Does anyone know of an app that will work within TW LP?

I use a edge screen trigger that allows me to open the notification panel from within any app. I can use a gesture from the bottom of the screen to open the panel without having to reach up. Nova only works while I'm on the home screen.
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.
