So far i have used two Customised generic STOCK OS( LOLLIPOP 5.0.1 & 5.1.1) and in these both OS, apps which i have installed are getting vanished from my APP DRAWER (but they are still inside somewhere ) ........But when i choose apps for Shortcut from " WIDGETS AND APPS ", my vanished apps are listed there and i can create shortcut for them....
Is there ANY SOLUTION for stopping apps from VANISHING
It just frustrates ME

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.
Hello friends, this is my first post that I hope is useful. I will teach you to have the launcher touchwiz for your phone (COMPATIBLE WITH ANDROID 4.2+) We will need 3 applications and root access.
The first application is the nova launcher prime, (you can easily download it by looking for the apk in google) the more updated the better.
Once the nova launcher is downloaded, go to the Root explorer or the Es file manager. And paste the apk replacing the system launcher by default or adding it to system / app (I replaced the old touchwiz because I do not like outdated) Once this is done, we will have the most customizable launcher in our system.
Now the second apk is: TW Icons, (in the play store is only the application of pay then you can find the apk in google).
Once downloaded the apk we move to system / app.
THE BEST OF THIS APPLICATION IS THAT IT DOES NOT SPEND RAM, NO CACHE OR DATA WHEN USED IT.
When restarting the device we will have the nova launcher and TW Icons downloaded. We will access the configuration of Nova and in Appearance, we will put in icons by default those of TW icons, and the application drawer we move it to the right.
I think the size and color of the letter already know modify and to hide applications that do not want on the menu go to applications, go down and enter 'Hide applications'.
Now in the configuration of nova, we go back to applications we deactivate the option of: frequently used applications & applications in card (lollipop style).
Then we go to: Wallpaper (Color and Transparency) and we put everything transparent.
After this will have your launcher as close to touchwiz as possible. I recommend you back it up in Nova if you format your cell phone not having to configure everything again. I hope you have served them and remember: TW Icons does not spend RAM
Installed FaceBook Messenger Lite apk from apkmirror on LineageOS 14.1 (based on Android 7.1.1) on Xiaomi MI5 Pro device (rooted).
Tried Messenger Lite apk version 4.1.x and 5.0.x.
Installs fine, runs fine upon upon initial install if select "Open" at end of apk install.
However there is no icon on the launcher screens, no icon in app drawer, and no widgets available. So no way to re-launch the app once you close it after initial install.
The only place the app appears in under Settings - Apps.
Uninstall works fine.
Anyone else have this issue?
My friend try quickshortcutmaker apk. Search google to find it. Open the app and search the messenger lite app in it and afterwards choose to make a shortcut. I have used this app in lg phones where I have had same problem with some apps...
Have you tried checking the launcher's widgets/shortcuts option?
@flxas - thank you! Quickshortcutmaker appears to have done the trick!
@Yehhhhhh - thanks for you help too, but every other apk I have ever installed has added an icon to my launcher, so I don't think that the issue is caused by trebuchet launcher settings.
Turns out the Messenger Lite app was in my app tray after all. I found it under "L" for "Lite" in the app drawer, but under "Messenger Lite" in Settings - Apps..
If you install the Facebook Lite apk, it ends up under "L" for "Lite" in the app drawer and also under Settings - Apps.
Hi guys,
I've done a quick search, sorry if this has been covered. I've just recently picked up a p20 pro after a couple years with Google pixel.
Really happy with it so far, the only thing is I'd like to swipe up to access the app drawer.
I know about nova launcher and converting to 'stock' android. My question is how would I keep all the features currently on EMUI with the only mod being so I can swipe up to access app drawer.
Thanks in advance
nope, not possible and if i have to be honest then i like it just as is without a app drawer to begin with. Nice and easy all icons on the main screen from the start but i do think that in the new Pie releases that i have seen the swipe up drawer but cant confirm.
I know what you mean. I can't work out if it's habit or I actually prefer an app drawer. But I do find myself wanting one for some reason.
Can I hide/alter the Google search bar on EMUI or simply just move it?
Thanks again

i just removed my google search bar and im using the one in the google feed. I get your point tho because when i just got my p20 pro i also was missing the swipe up to get to my apps. Back then i had multiple folders on my homescreen filled with apps and i had turned off the "add app to homescreen" after install so that i had to do everything manually but in the end it takes more work this way and even had some folders with the same app which is retarded of course
Now i also got a couple of folders and 1 is called system where i put in all app related to the system or apps that i wont use so that the homescreen stays more clean
