1) is there any app like hide it pro that works on cm9 ics!?! Hide it pro doesn't work :'(

Until it gets updated to work with ICS, the next best thing is to put a file called .nomedia in the folders in question. It doesn't hide anything from file explorers but it does hide them from galleries and other such media apps.
Unless, of course, anyone knows of alternative apps, but I've not heard of any.

I actually wanted an app hider. But not the basic one like go launcher / apex launcher has. The advanced one, which freezes it like hide it pro

I believe Titanium Backup has the ability to freeze apps, you might want to try that.
I'm using apex launcher can hide but without password

I rooted my g2x earlier
And I have no roms because I don't know how to install them yet
But I want yup know what are the best apps for the g2x
So far I have
Titanium back up
Android booster
Bloat freezer (which I don't think it works)
Adfree
Busybox installer (which I don't know how to use)
Astro
mobile manager
Metamorph (which I really don't know how to use or get themes for it)
So if anyone has any input in what I have so far, knows how to use then correctly or has any apps that I need or works better then what I got, please help me

Titanium freezes apps so get rid of bloatfreeze. I like rootexplorer better than astro, addfree is also good for blocking adds in apps.
MEXICO U-17 WC CHAMPIONS!!
Root explorer is a fantastic app. I also use beautiful widgets and ring droid. As said before titanium backup is the best to freeze bloatware.

I installed Go Launcher and all the other Go products (most are free). It really brings the phone to life. I also Have lockscreen widget which helps simulate the cool lock-screen to camera/contacts/Music Player function the Sensation has.
Reboot widget. Much more simple than holding down power + volume down.
I use Droidwall. Simple firewall for your phone. Blocks data/wifi access to applications unless you explicitly allow it.
Any other good apps? and how fo I use metamorph? where do I get thee themes for it?

I'm going to have to second droidwall. Root call blocker is great, too.

SetCPU- CPU profile/steps changer
Cache Mate NG- cache cleaner
Root Tools- Build.prop.editor and Boot animation changer
AniMod- changes animation effects when changing menu's etc...Usually i keep all animation off so only the top task bar does the animation of flipping.
VMHeapTool- changes Heap size easily to 40 to give apps more breathing room
Spareparts- gives easy options to turn off certain settings
LG/2x Black- turns your LED buttons on and off when you recieve certain type of notifications.
SD Speed Increase- changes default SD of 46kbs to 2048-4024kbs to allow faster read and write speeds. Mileage varies depending on SD card.
+1 for adfree
+1 droidwall
+1 Go SMS
Freeze all bloatware ...only unistall non-essential programs like Tegrazone app if you don't use it.
DSPmanager -makes speaker soooooooo much louder been doing it for months no damage. Use the e q and turn em all the way up except for the first one, play with it while song is playing
APNsbackup- ur gonna need it for some roms if u like having data connection all the time.
Root Explorer and ROM Manager are MUST!
Root Explorer is one of the very best file manager and you can even backup/restore/transfer personal data on /data/data
ROM Manager is associated with clockworkmod recovery. It is another A MUST if you want to do nandroid backup and install custom ROM.
AnReboot can reset your phone if some persistent problem happens (like no signal)
Add LBE privacy guard to the list. It's handy. Use it with droidwall.

Titanium Backup free does not freeze apps.
Try Anttek App Manager. It does other stuff but I use it for freezing bloatware and it works perfectly.
Thought it best to ask here, than to install/remove a thousand apps, till I find a good one!
Which app do you think is best for creating/ organising the app menu, perhaps as folders etc?
With the new Sense where it doesnt "fast scroll", its becoming tedious scrolling to find the app you want!
Thanks in advance!
I use application folder it seems to do well and easy to add and remove apps from the folder

Looks good, but doesnt seem to be able to create folders in the App menu (the standard android app list).
That is what Im looking for, mainly.
I use the Folder Organizer app. It's about US ~1.41 on Android Market or $1.50 on Amazon Appstore. It allows you to make widgets and folders which looks a lot like the iPhone folders. There's several good organizing functions to define label tags and shortcuts, etc.
I've read what I've been able to find so far about replacing launchers and still little confused. If I download another launcher from the market can I then use TB to delete the launcher in the system folder? or do I actually have to replace the launcher in the system folder? I flashed Valhalla BlackEdition and can't read Chinese in the 360 launcher.
BTW I just don't want multiple launchers if I don't have to have them.
Simply place another launcher.apk in your system/app folder keep the 360 launcher until you have verified the other launcher works.

I hated 360launcher as well. Do what the post above recommends. If it's moved to the system, then it cannot be deleted... easily. Make sure it is a good launcher though- one that wont start force closing constantly. After you are sure that your launcher is installed any works, use a program, such as root uninstaller, to get rid of 360 launcher.
I got rid of it and it worked fine. Do not, I repeat, do not get rid of Amazon MP3, or any process related to it. It will cause random force closes, with no fix.

I use adw (only launcher installed on my phone)
and I deleted anything with Amazon in the name including mp3.
I have yet to experience any fc. So something else must of been causing your problem.
I'm running octane 3.0 (completely debloated of course) at the moment, but I was on Valhalla black before this.

I also delete anything Amazon on every ROM I have flashed and I've flashed just about every ROM in our forum. I have never gotten force closes related to removing Amazon apps.

Can you update us on that please?
Didi you rename the launcher or keep the original file name?
Considering that this thread had ALL its activity in January of 2012... I'm guessing what was done 20 months ago doesn't really matter that much to Shady anymore.
I hate all the App shortcuts being in a big bunch in the Apps Menu. Is there any good apps that I can use to allow me to make folders I can sort them into ?
I would like to root my Xoom and put a newer version on but I don't get all the tech speak and jarganisum now.
Thanks
Most launchers support folders, but folders are only on the home pages. I don't know of any launchers that allow you to sort your apps into folders.

Go Launcher did, but it didn't look as good on the XOOM so it went. . Was looking for a simple app.
Sent from my MZ604 using xda premium
It wouldn't be a simple app. It would have to be a launcher that supported it.
Well this one doesn't need a launcher. I tried it didn't like it. The layout was'nt what I wanted. Also it tried to be to much.
But deff no launcher needed.
''Application Folder'

For serious, I think you should the Nova Launcher, you can create "tabs" with it and organize the way you want the apps, these tabs are the "apps" and "widgets" by default, but you still can create a tab called "games" for example! Good luck.

I was going to suggest the MIUI launcher but then remembered we never got one that supports the Xoom.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
Thinking of installing Nova launcher when my phone ships, but was wondering if features like "OK Google.." and searching online for numbers within the phone app would still work?
Also, has anyone with a Nexus 5 found a way to hide apps in the app drawer you don't want there, or at least make a folder? I really want to use the stock launcher, and it baffles me Google leaves out basic functionality to sort and organize your apps... if anyone found a way please let me know, or if root can fix this somehow. Thanks.
You'd have to wait for Kevin to put similar features if he decides to assuming he can mimic the new launcher. I think the new launcher is closed source.. maybe we'll get a kernel soon with always listening

For hiding the apps part if you want to hide one of the stock apps you can simply disable it in the settings? (Settings > apps)
