Remove shortcut from programs' list - T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide

Is it possible to keep an apk in the rom, but make its shortcut disappear from the programs menu in the launcher?
I am using the latest official Cyanogen 10.1.
Thanks in advance

You could use something like MyBackup Pro or Titanium Backup to "freeze" the app. That will keep it installed but non-functional and it would not appear in the available apps until it is unfrozen.

There are also launchers that have the option the hide an app from your app drawer

Thanx for the replies...I found a solution using the CCSWE App Manager which can do just that.

Questions about CM10 [P3113]

I recently flashed cyanogenmod 10 (android 4.1.1) on my gtab 2 7.0, it's flawless but I have some questions..
-Is there a way I can edit the arragement of the icons in my apps drawer?
-Does it have a task manager (built in)? I searched for it everywhere.
-Does it have a "my files" app, like the one in the stock ROM, to explore the storage and so?
Thanks. (sorry if in wrong section, no one answered me in the CM10 post)
(I do know this is an experimental version, but I tried CM9 and found the same things, so I'm just asking)

The apps in the menu, don't know what they're called
Apps in the app drawer? No. You might try another launcher like nova or apex. But I'm not sure that functionality is there either.

[Q] Help needed in Cyanogenmod 10.1

I have galaxy tab 2 wifi p3110. I rooted it and installed CyanogenMod ROM 10.1 on it. I am satisfied with it. However, I would like to change 2 things.
I prefer Google Play Music than that stock Apollo music app. I cant find a way to uninstall that app.
Does uninstalling it affects the CM RoM?
Also, I like the background of the app drawer to be transparent not black bcoz I dont like that Background. So, please help me out..

1) go to root/system/apps, find apollo music apk and delete it..
And it will not affect the rom..
For other system apps I suggest you to use app like root freezer, freeze the system app first to see weather it affects the functionality or not and then uninstall it(the app ahs the opt to do that)
2) every launcher has that feature :silly:
if it's helping you it must be thanked.

1) you are modifying the root folder and you must have had denied the root permission to the app...
2) well u need to loose something to get something...

Sounding offend but not...

its very easy bro!
follow these steps!
1. download root uninstaller from play store
2. open it, when it asks for root access, allow it!
3. find whichever app you want to delete!
bravooooooooooo!!! u deleted it! ))
:good::good:
Rooot uninstaller works too.
So does Titanium Backup.
As for transparent back you can get nove launcher.
go to nova settings> app drawer and then choose desired transparency.
