[Q] Remodel Stock Launcher Sort / Hide Apps?

Can anyone rebuild the stock launcher so that you can sort apps or hide and seek?
As for example as in the Touchwiz launcher from Samsung.
A button for settings could be set up right in the corner.
That would be so great!

If you're rooted and on Dalvik use Xposed + XGELS

sort apps ist not possible...

And if you're not rooted you can try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kk.launcher

[Q] How to hide apps icons from Google Now's App Drawer in Lollipop

Is there a tested app which can hide app icons from the Google Now's App Drawer in Lollipop?
I'm almost ready to take the plunge and upgrade to 5.0 forfeiting Xposed Framework and a few modules I've been using, but one thing which would be annoying me constantly is the cluttered app drawer.
So anyone who has upgraded to 5.0 already -- have you tested any apps which allow you to hide app icons from the Google Now's app drawer? CCSWE App Manager looks promising -- has anyone tested it in 5.0? Any better apps you can recommend?
I definitely do not want to freeze or disable any apps, just want to hide their icons *from the drawer*, for example I may want to have an icon shown on the desktop, but not in the drawer.
Thanks!

I would also like to know this.

I tried App Hider from the Play store, but of course, it doesn't work to hide the apps. Plus, you have to be rooted. Hopefully, the developer will update the app soon.

Well, I went ahead and flashed 5.0 and rooted. However none of the apps I've tried from the playstore (tried like 5-6) could hide icons from the app drawer. In the retrospect I should have probably rebooted (or at least restarted the launcher) after trying some of them -- I haven't as none of the apps I've tried instructed me to do so.
So if you stumble upon an app which works -- wherever with or without root, please post away.

Whoa, I was still searching for potential solutions and found this: http://www.usoftsmart.com/t289594.html

I use apex launcher and it has the ability to hide apps in the drawer. I tried it to ensure it still works on 5.0 and yep. Of course you may not want to change launchers for this.

Thank you for your feedback, but yeah, as indicated in the topic I want to stay with Google Now launcher and want to hide app icons in its drawer.

Anyone has tried anything recently? What worked, what didn't?

Anyone, anyone? Bueller, Bueller?

Xposed for Lollipop + Xposed GEL Settings, just like on KitKat.

5.0, Google Now - Slide to open App Drawer

Is there an Xposed module or any app that can do that for me ?
I would like to open the App Drawer on Google Now @ Lollipop with a right\left slide...
If I could bring the AppDrawer to a page of his own on the screen it would be even better...
I dont want to change launcher to do that, I like Google Now. It's simple and fast...

[Q] HomeScreen Shortcuts/modification

Hello All,
I ve been spending the weekend customizing my Home screen . I am using Nova launchers , icon packs , xposed Gravity Box,playing with widgets etc.
I wanted to know if there was a app/Shortcut/workaround applied to the leftmost homescreen such that when i swipe right it opens an app or google now ( similar to the feature in action launcher to open goolenow).
Also is xfloatingwindows working on Lollipop and are there any good apps that I could apply only on the Leftmost and Rightmost Home Screen.
Thanks for all the Help

Try the Xposed module 'Gesture Navigation'
If you are asking if the module 'XHalo Floating Window' is working on lollipop, the answer is No!
Here is its official thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-xhalofloatingwindow-v2-38-movable-t2419287

Been using Gesture navigation , but I'm not able to restrict it only to the home screen , it works in apps and the app drawer , which I'm trying to avoid

Alphabet app drawer - CSC setting doesn't work?

Hi All,
I've recently upgraded from an S6 to an S7 - have also rooted but can't seem to get the alphabet app drawer CSC setting to work. Normally I would have to set the "Enable View By Alphabet As Default" setting to "true" then reboot the phone, but am still on the current layout with the A-Z button at the top.
Do these settings no longer work for the S7 or is there an alternative way to get the app drawer to automatically sort from A-Z?
Thanks!

Use Nova Launcher

The stock launcher blows, anyway. Just use a 3rd party.
