[Q] Remodel Stock Launcher Sort / Hide Apps? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

Samsung widgets with Launcher Pro

Is there any method/hack to use some of the samsung widgets with Launcher Pro or any other launcher for that matter? I really dislike the samsung launcher but I'd like to use their feed widget for twitter as I've yet to find another good scrollable one.
Thats not possible simply because the touchwiz widgets are withing the touchwiz UI, the come as a hole not as separate packages, hence they can only be install on the touchwiz launcher.

That's too bad. Does anyone know of a similar widget to Touchwiz's feed widget out there? I really liked the way it lets you scroll both facebook and twitter but I love ADW way too much to go back.
Yeah the feed widget is what I was hoping for as well... closest thing I've found is Pure Messenger

A bit off topic, but how do I get Launcher Pro back as the default launcher? While trying to get Kies to work, I made TW the default launcher, not realizing you can't turn off TW the same way. Or do I have to reinstall LP and lose my settings.

I did this too, I think I went into the manage applications menu under TWlauncher and clicked the button that said clear defaults. I believe thats how I fixed it. Then after that hit the home button and the choice to use launcher pro or twlauncher again.
I tried that initially. No TWLauncher showing in the list...hit the menu button and found the filter option. Selected "show all" and there it was. Thanks!

Hide Icon on Menu ICS?

Hello everybody.
It's possible to hide an icon on iCS ? (Menu Launcher)
Software ?
Thanks.
Not possible without modding the launcher. There are launchers that have the app hiding feature though. Give GO Launcher EX a try.

No, but I've been loving ADW Ex with ICS. TeslaCoil's Nova Launcher is a modded ICS launcher and may provide the function you're seeking.
That app is in the themes and apps forum.

I would go into settings and then launcher settings and see if you can create a new shortcut to the app drawer. Or hold down anywhere on your homescreen and choose the option for your launcher, and create a shortcut to the app drawer.
To get the stock launcher back, go into settings>apps or the play store and uninstall go launcher.

yea but no.. i did try all of that... even when i keep holding the screen...
i know how to get back to the stock launcher but since the stock launcher has its app drawer missing its not much use to me..
i just got lucky i had the google play app on my home screen... otherwise i would have had to re-flash the rom... which i dont want honestly...

So you mean the stock launcher has the app drawer missing, oh that is a problem, considering I didn't think that was possible.
here is the original thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2121036
I read your post wrong, the stock launcher for the custom rom should be Nova or apex, if it isnt go. The only thing I could suggest is the longpress on the homescreen. I hope there is a launcher settings in your rom, and if there is check to make sure that longpress actions arent disabled for the homescreen.

Hey bro, i use "AppHider" work perfect!
:highfive:
There's also an xposed module called "hide apps xposed"

I'd also like that. Samsung usually doesn't remove anything but simply hides it (like the possibility of recording calls through the dialer), so I believe the option would come back by simply editing a string somewhere.
Not works for me too

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

Is there not a way to do it with stock launcher? I don't want to change to another launcher, cheers!

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