Couple of questions...

I installed handcent and now when I get a text I get 2 notifications. How do I delete the at&t app? In titanium backup I only see the ability to remove the preferences but not the program itself.
Also I am running launcher pro and I want to use my tw app drawer icon but its not available when I go to change the icon. How do I get it on there? I can use other tw icons for other apps, just not this one.
Thx

Open Messaging, and on the main list of all your threads hit Menu then settings and disable Notification.
I had the same issue. Don't delete the messaging app. (I don't know if you should or shouldn't, so I wouldn't), just disable the notifications.
Edit: Gotten from here: http://www.handcent.com/Faq.php
It's an excellent sms replacement imo.

App that changes App names?

is there an app that changes app names? I found "App name editor" but that only changes app names on your "home screen" or "desktop(s)" as i call it. I'd like to change the name in the app screen. for instance "hide my sms" doesnt do me much good if the name implies exactly what its doing. any such app?

I don't know of any app like that, but I would imagine you're going to have to use a 3rd party launcher to be able to edit app names in the app drawer. You may want to check out LauncherPro - it looks very similar to the stock launcher, but lets you customize all sorts of things. One feature is the ability to hide certain apps from showing up in your app drawer at all. Would this solve your problem, and you could still put a link to the app on your homescreen (with a changed name or even without the name, just the icon).

ADW Launcher EX has a edit option which can rename app name & change icon.
Maybe try that.

in the app drawer, or just on the homescreen? I know LauncherPro can do both on the homescreen, don't know about the app drawer.

ADW just on homescreen.
Haven't found the solution for the app drawer :/

[Q] Arrange apps in App Drawer??

Is there a way to organise apps in the app drawer? It is now just a collection of apps, but I like the idea of a totally clean homescreen (only widgets and dock), and an organised App Drawer.
It doesn't matter how the apps are organised. It can be with folders, different pages, whatever. But it has to be in the App Drawer. Is there an app/launcher/custom ROM that can do that?

Anyone? I know not many people want this, because they organise their apps on the homescreens, and the App Drawer is just a collection of all apps, but as I said, I really like the idea of a homescreen with widgets only, and an organised App Drawer with folders or different pages or whatever.

ADW Launcher has an option to create a catalog to group apps, but everytime you need to change catalogs, you have to press menu, then "choose group".
It´s nice, but it should have a better way to choose between the groups.

All apps organizer is what I use. If you use adw or launcher pro you can make it your app drawer. Works really well.

So..., that just replaces the App Drawer? That's fine to me, but I hope you can hide the 'real' App Drawer then. I still want my app drawer button in the middle + 2 icons on either side in the dockbar, but then the app drawer icon should link to that All Apps Organizer program.

You can set the option in ADW.Launcher so that there are arrows on the left and side of the bottom of the screen when you open the app drawer, then pressing those arrows you can switch the catalogs.

Just found out that Go Launcher EX has folder support. I'm starting to like this launcher more and more! Nobody knows it though, so I couldn't find much information about the folder support in app drawer.

Searching for special launcher feature

Hi Folks,
I just wanted to know if there's a launcher that shows the app shortcuts either ONLY on the Homescreen or in the drawer when it has not been placed on the Homescreen. For Example the telephone app has no function in the drawer, because its always on the main side of the Homescreen.
I would find this very useful!
thanks in advance
P.s. after posting i realized that this is not the right forum for this but i don't know how to delete or transfer it. Sorry bout that dear Admin.

nova launcher? or apex? you choose to hide things which are in a group from appearing in other groups.

I know that you can hide Apps in the drawer. But i don't really get what you mean with hiding groups. I want Apps to AUTOMATICALLY "hide" when i place an app to homescreen.

[Q] How to hide apps icons from Google Now's App Drawer in Lollipop

Is there a tested app which can hide app icons from the Google Now's App Drawer in Lollipop?
I'm almost ready to take the plunge and upgrade to 5.0 forfeiting Xposed Framework and a few modules I've been using, but one thing which would be annoying me constantly is the cluttered app drawer.
So anyone who has upgraded to 5.0 already -- have you tested any apps which allow you to hide app icons from the Google Now's app drawer? CCSWE App Manager looks promising -- has anyone tested it in 5.0? Any better apps you can recommend?
I definitely do not want to freeze or disable any apps, just want to hide their icons *from the drawer*, for example I may want to have an icon shown on the desktop, but not in the drawer.
Thanks!

I would also like to know this.

I tried App Hider from the Play store, but of course, it doesn't work to hide the apps. Plus, you have to be rooted. Hopefully, the developer will update the app soon.

Well, I went ahead and flashed 5.0 and rooted. However none of the apps I've tried from the playstore (tried like 5-6) could hide icons from the app drawer. In the retrospect I should have probably rebooted (or at least restarted the launcher) after trying some of them -- I haven't as none of the apps I've tried instructed me to do so.
So if you stumble upon an app which works -- wherever with or without root, please post away.

Whoa, I was still searching for potential solutions and found this: http://www.usoftsmart.com/t289594.html

I use apex launcher and it has the ability to hide apps in the drawer. I tried it to ensure it still works on 5.0 and yep. Of course you may not want to change launchers for this.

Thank you for your feedback, but yeah, as indicated in the topic I want to stay with Google Now launcher and want to hide app icons in its drawer.

Anyone has tried anything recently? What worked, what didn't?

Anyone, anyone? Bueller, Bueller?

Xposed for Lollipop + Xposed GEL Settings, just like on KitKat.
