[Q] Hide apps in KitKat launcher? - General Questions and Answers

I have a drawer full of icons I never use, for example widgets that have a whole app just for settings I never touch, or the Photos app but I only use Gallery or Google settings etc, you get the point.
Is there a way to hide those apps like you can in Nova Launcher?

Android Launcher/App drawer

Is there an android launcher app which can replace the app drawer?
It really bugs me that the apps are in two places - on my desktop and in my app drawer, this makes the app drawer very messy and unorganized.
I've never understood the concept of showing one app in two places.
Maybe there is an app to disable app drawer - all apps show up on desktop, together with widgets etc. or another way would be to hide apps from the drawer in case they are already on desktop
I dont know if this what youre looking for but try to search "awd ex" in the market

Is it possible to hide System bar with an android launcher on a tablet?

I know it's possible to deactivate buttons but can I hide it?
ADW Launcher supports hiding the system bar, either by icon or a gesture of your choice.
The other launchers I don't know, trebuchet does not...

Trebuchet does support hidden notification bar, but I cannot figure how to show it.

Folders IN app drawer?

Hi everyone.... Loving my new Mate 9 but have a question.... I know that if I want an app drawer that can have custom folders in the drawer I can do so by using a third-party launcher, like Nova. I have been a loyal Nova user for years as a matter of fact. That said, when I got the M9 I was intrigued by the stock launcher. At first, I just used it with no app drawer and made folders on some home screens but now I'm wondering..... is there anyway to BOTH use the app drawer, AND make folders in that app drawer instead of just having every app shown individually, in alpha order?
My other question would be..... If I use the app drawer and drag an app onto the homescreen, is there any way to have it NOT also show up in the app drawer? I think the app drawer would be far less cumbersome to search through if those apps already showing on the homescreen didn't also have to be shown in the app drawer.
I hope my questions are clear. Thanks everyone!
I hope there is a folder solution as you describe. I too would like to better organize my app drawer.
Yes! Thank you! My thoughts exactly. Any app (not launcher) based solution out there?
