I'm a little perplexed. There is no Genius Button shortcut in my app drawer, and I'm trying to make sure there never was one because I can't quite remember. My Genius Button no longer works either due to my fiddling around with the keypad system file, and I can't get it back.
The only way I can access Genius Button is to run it with Titanium Backup. Then, strangely, once I run it the first time, Genius Button appears in my app drawer as if it installs itself.
So, do you have Genius in your app drawer or not?
Yes I have one there. Phone is not rooted yet.
Nope, I don't. Not rooted, don't plan to.
I am rooted and no I don't have the icon, but the button itself works.

Yes I have a genius button in my app drawer. I am not rooted.
I'm rooted and have the button in my drawer. Are you using the standard Sense launcher, or an alternative? That makes a difference.
Apparently, the Sense launcher hides some apps/buttons, especially those related to Tmob apps. Try installing LauncherPro or ADW and see if the button is in those app drawers.

I'm rooted and have it in my appdrawer.
After I remapped my genius button the app appeared in the drawer.
Also just an fyi from my experience, freezing the genius apk with titanium backup caused sense to crash frequently

Huh. Well, I figured out what the problem was regarding the keymap file not getting GB to work. It turns out there was a permissions issue.
And, it appears you will see the Genius app in your app drawer only after you start the Genius app following a reboot. That's why some see it and other don't using the stock launcher.
That's interesting about the genius button..I never used it at all so it was never in my drawer but after I remapped it, its always in the drawer.

I just installed launcherpro, then enabled 3d drawer in advanced settings, then it tells it has to restart. Fine. But still no 3d view when I click on the app drawer? What do I have to do?
There's probably an easy solution to this, but I can't find it... Hope Xda will help me.
The app drawer is a 3d cube like effect when your scrolling through your apps the top and bottom of your app drawer fall off and make the app drawer look like a cube. If you don't see this then maybe its not supported on your particular phone. It is experimental.

Thanks for your help. It works previously, straight after i hard reset my phone, so i'm sure it can work again.
Anybody know of a home/launcher alternative for android that is JUST an app drawer? When I press the home button I would rather be taken to an alphabetical app drawer. I don't use Widgets and I'd rather not be required to organize icons on home screens. (Don't say anything about iPhone, please)
I don't think there is. In fact I am 99% sure there isn't. Sorry
Hit the thank button if this helped!

MIUI used to be like that... I can't confirm new releases though...its been ages since I ran it.
thanxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
There is no only app drawer launcher for a reason. Why would you want it ? xD.
And MIUI has everything except a App Drawer.
SOLUTION
So, I figured out a way to make this happen if anybody is interested.
Target Home Launcher lets you set any app as a home app.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bh.android.TargetHomeLauncher
AltDrawer is an app drawer app.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154299
Simply use Target Home Launcher to set AltDrawer as the home app.
In my case
To disable widgets, and since kids using only media and games
I will try "AppDrawer (MIUI App Drawer)" app on google play.
I wish there was, but unlike you, I have searched to no avail.
Hey all not to sure if this is the right place I'm looking for widget that I can drag apps to so they will get deleted like recycle bin on windows any help would be great as my free Xperia rom don't do drag delete

Android just doesn't have a recycle bin type of delete system. There is a feature very similar to that in adw launcher though, where if you hold the icon of an app on long enough as if to move it around the screen, a small menu comes up with options to either remove it from your homescreen or uninstall it completely. The problem with using it is that you'll have to use adw launcher to completely replace the current homescreen you have. If that doesn't sound bad, go for it. It's extremely resource friendly. Used to use it on my crap old virgin mobile phone, and has tons of themes and icon sets to go with it.
Hope this helps.
I just made a shortcut to "app management" and can quickly uninstall from there

This might be a stupid question but.
I have 4.2.1 now on my HTC One S thanks to Dark Jelly, but how do I get to My Apps, and My Wishlist in the playstore?
I'm not sure how that rom exactly works, but try holding down the recent apps button for context menu.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
Yea holding that down does nothing.
Might be a problem with the ROM, not sure. I guess I should post over there.
*yup, a setting on the rom.
Settings-- system-- hardware keys
From there you can set one of the keys to be a shortcut to the menu (long press recent apps key is what I use). Hope that is what you're looking for...

Hi, I'm new in this forum and also I'm a new android user. I got this phone yesterday and it came with the 4.1.2 update, it is working fine and all, but today something strange happened, my phone freezes up while I was watching a video, it rebooted itself and then, the camera app was gone, and the gallery app also seems to have disappeared, although they both appear on the settings/apps menu. I would like to know what can I do to solve this, please as I don't understand this system well.

Are you using a custom launcher? Most custom launches have the ability to hide apps in the app drawer. Check in the launcher settings for an unhide option.

Go to the app menu where you see the apps. Touch and hold your finger on the app for a second or 2 that you want back on one of your home pages. The home pages should show up and simply drag the app where ever you want it. Move your apps around like this and you can change the apps on the bar on the bottom of the screen the same way.

Thank you for the suggestion but it didn't work out. Unfortunately, I didn't had any other choice but to factory reset my device and now I have the camera back, but thank you for the fast answer!
