[Q] Wondering if there's a way to hide unwanted icons from app draw - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

In my HTC one I was able to hide the unwanted apps that I couldn't delete from the phone, couldn't seem to find the same option in the nexus. If hiding isn't an option perhaps folders? Any suggestions would help, thanks.

Not with the stock launcher.

Find the app you want to hide in settings-apps slide right to all tap on the app and on the info page there should be a disable button. This will remove the icon from the app drawer.

App that hides apps?

First off I want to say that feature that shows similar threads when you start a thread is awesome.
With that said, I didn't find one on that...which is amazing as I am sure there are threads on just about everything here.....probably more than one.
Is there an app that can hide apps in any launcher? I know in several if not most launchers you have the ability but not all launchers....for instance stock....so....is there an app that can hide apps in any launcher?

Internet app missing

Well I was playing around with my new galaxy s3 today and I went to got use the internet app and I accidentally deleted the app from the home screen. I looked in the app drawer and its no where to be found. Can someone please help me.
I'm thinking it would be hard to permanently delete the browser, but I think I know how to help you.... by default the S3 is not sorting apps in your app drawer alphabetically and it makes things impossible to find. Go into the app drawer, hit the menu button, press View Type, and change it to alphabetical grid or alphabetical list, whichever you prefer, and you should be able to find it. You can also change apps on the bottom bar of the homescreen by long pressing then dragging them in and out/to the trash. Good luck and enjoy your S3... it's an awesome phone!

Bookmarks in app drawer on android JB?

Hello,
I think this is the right place in the forum to ask this. Apologies if not, feel free to move/delete....
Is it possible to have a bookmark saved in my app drawer? I know u can do it on your home screen but I want the bookmark to be saved as an app icon in the app drawer.
From googling already it seems it isn't possible but this is quite hard to believe!
Many thanks

I too am interested in this

how can I launch "clock" ?

Sorry for a noob question. How can I launch clock in this device?
The best way is to have a widget on your home screen, that way it will be available all the time. You can also tap the all app icon and launch it from the app drawer.

Yes, we have widget for clock, but I mean here I want to see application "clock" listed in application list! Because in some other applications I want to link to "clock" when I touch somewhere on.
Are you saying you want to share something with Clock? I don´t think sharing is possible with the Clock app. If you want to join something, for examle an event, in another app to launch clock then Tasker is your best bet.

I want to explain such as: I have an app, and some functions in the app, one of them is touch to launch app, when I touch on the button, the list of all apps appear but not the "clock"!
Then it can't launch the clock....
Can't launch what isn't there.
Clock is a system app so it may be you require root access to get to it, however it seems the app you are using to start these other apps may not see the system apps so you still won't get it...

Camera app disappeared

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!
