Really works and it does so fast, clean and easy. I think it's the only app available on the Play Store that actually does this WITHOUT breaking the apps.
GREAT JOB!
Wish the UI was cleaner, based on ICS design elements.
Thanks!

Works great. Just one thing, when I tried to hide SIM Toolkit, it makes my phone lose the signal n when it got the signal back, SIM Toolkit appear again on my app drawer.

Thanks for all the positive feedback. Next releases will be focused on making it easier to use (filters and status indicators).

Only navigation from maps is going back after reboot.
Btw good work.
Thanks

Guess I must be doing something wrong...?
Great idea, this app!
However, I don't get the option to "hide" a particular item...
All it offers for me - when long-pressing an app - is "Clear data", "Freeze" or "Uninstall"...
What am I doing wrong/missing?

The freeze option would allow you to hide all icons and completely disable an app but this probably isn't what you want...
Short press the app to transition into the "Details" view at which point you'll see a list of icons associated with the application. Short press the icons you want to show/hide to check them and then click the "Show/Hide Icon(s)" button to process the operation.
After hiding/showing icons some launchers will require you to reboot before they actually show/hide.

I've installed it and when I run it, It asks for root permissions, which I click allow, but then the app just sits there with the spinning circle and "Asking for root permissions" It's been like that for about 10min so I think it's stuck
On a Sony Xperia Arc, rooted gingerbread 2.3.4
Anything I can try?

You should try installing BusyBox. See if that helps.

Haven't seen/heard of this before. My first suggestion would be to exit out and retry. If that doesn't work you can PM me here or email [email protected] (better option since it dings my phone ) and I'll try and help you resolve it.

Awesome app!

Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction, machx0r!
Love the app, and it works exactly as described.
Will get the $$ version for sure...
Thanks, man!

I had the same problem here. I restartet the Device and it works now.

this is awesome, i've been looking for something like this since ditching non-stock launchers. Question, will uninstalling undo anything I hid? or do i need to do this before uninstalling to prevent apps from permanently being hidden? I also noticed that hiding the icons this way prevents them from showing up when searching on the Evo.

This application modifies system settings to hide the icons or freeze applications. They will continue to be hidden/frozen after uninstalling so you should unhide them first or reinstall the application when you need to restore them.

I installed this because it sounded like it would hide the icons but still let me use the apps. I spent about 10 minutes going through my apps and hiding them.
I hid my Apex launcher and after I exited the app the system freaked the **** out going to a few other apps and then finally the default CM9 launcher when I hit the home key.
Also it doesn't highlight everything I check to be hidden in blue. So I had to go through and unhide everything just to be safe, taking another 10 minutes to sort through my app list trying to remember what I ticked off. Around 500 apps, not fun.

Technically it disables the Activity associated with the icon which does in fact make it unusable while hidden. Beyond a launcher with the capability to hide icons this is the only way to do it.

For most launchers this would be fine as separate Activities are created for the "Settings" and "Launcher" functionalities. Unfortunately this is not the case with Apex launcher and I sent them an email a while back suggesting a change.
In general care should be taken while hiding launchers and system apps (titles in red). Maybe I should do something more than just the red text to indicate caution should be taken. Maybe a warning prompt with an option to disable it for those that like to live dangerously ;-)

Hmm I haven't heard of this issue but will definitely look into it. The Activities (icon rows) are not cached and are loaded when you enter the details screen so they should represent the current state (ie: blue = hidden).
In the next few days I'll be putting out an updated release that will contain filtering which would have made it easier to locate what you hid. Sorry for your troubles.

Just uploaded version 1.0.5. Only change is to filter Apex Launcher from the list of available applications since it doesn't like being hidden. As always shoot me an email at [email protected] and I'll be more than happy to help.

I assume that pretty much any launcher is going to react the same way if it's the active launcher and you're hiding it.
Anyway thanks for the quick response.

Things I'd like to do with my N5. Possible?

While using the stock rom...
1. Can I get a "Reboot" option on shutdown menu?
2. Possible to rearrange or even change the "Back, Home, Recent Apps" buttons? I'd like to swap the Back and Home button locations. Maybe replace recent apps with something I actually use.
3. Possible to add more items to the settings tiles accessed from the pulldown?
4. Is it safe to disable Google+ if I'm running an alternate launcher? Will any apps like Chrome or Gmail stop working (not sure if they're tied in)? I have an alternate gallery app installed so Photos and Gallery will be unused. Hangouts is already disabled on mine. Alternate SMS app installed.
Thanks for your time.

You need to gain root (methods are available on this forum) then download xposed framework, (also on this forum) then download a module called Gravity Box included in the downloads part of Xposed Installer. It allows what you're looking for on Stock Rom.
Edit: I forgot, in my case I hate the soft keys so I used Ultimate Dynamic Navbar to do what you want with rearranging/customizing. Also look into LMT launcher, it allows a lot of customization and includes all of the normal hard keys and app drawers.

1&3 as above

4 yea get rid the it, nothing will happen

How to find hidden apps

I need help from some serious power users/hackers to find out how my girlfriend is hiding apps on her (unrooted) GS6. I'm a medium-advanced Android user, but this is some good stuff. I know that it may have to do with the notification shade, as she constantly checks it to see if there is anything new, but she has somehow (not through normal OS) disabled chimes and icons in notification bar. I believe that she may have "vaulted" apps, but can't find anything conspicuous in the app manager (even when displaying system files). I believe she can basically hide or "ghost" any app so that it doesn't appear in recent app list, app drawer, or app manager. Is anyone aware of such apps?
One thing I noticed that seems a bit different is in her notification access menu (settings/lock screen and security/other security settings/notification access) there is an entry called "Notification" that I don't normally see.
I'm wondering if maybe it's a dual-boot setup where she can choose which apps to hide from the normal boot via a rooted "clone" boot of the OS? Or maybe an easy way/shortcut to root, then hide apps, then unroot?
Any other ideas?
Oh, also: No custom launcher in use from what I can tell; stock Touch-Wiz only.

Fm radio app missing on european version

Hi there,
the fm radio app seems to be missing on the european version.... Is there any chance to get the original app as apk and get it running?
Thanks

You should be able to launch it from the second page of the quick settings toggles

Is there any way we can re order the setting toggles?

Of course. Use pencil icon visible in expanded quick settings

Just in case someone needs the original apk:
- com.asus.fmradio-1.63.0.63_190725.apk (2.3MB)
From WW-16.1220.1909.193 (Android 9). As mentioned above, it can only be controlled via quick settings.
