Is there an app(Launcher) or a hack to show always the drawer/app depot?

I like Android but i hate the widgets and the Homescreen, i don't need them. So i like the apple surface. Is there a launcher/hack to show always the app surface/drawer/app depot? I use.the go launcher and if it's possible i will use it further more.
Thx a lot!!!

Why not just resize your homescreen grid to hold more apps and put all your apps on scrollable homescreens? With adw you can even make the dock disappear all together to make more room for app icons.

For.example the go launcher has a perfect app depot with recently used apps and running apps in tab style thats what i love and want.

Use ADW or LauncherPro and change settings so it won't close App Drawer when you open a new app.

Check if MIUI is available for your device, its does not have a app draw.

Lol then why not just take the fraction of a second d to open the app drawer? Lol doesn't take long. Or just place ur apps on the home screen

Just get a ducking iPhone. Who doesn't like Widgets? This post almost seems kind of trolly Polly if you ask me.

as said above .. Miui is pretty similar to iphone .. no Apps Drawer .. everything is on the main screen ... and its very fast ..

I suggest the same. also set number of home screens to (1). plus since you don't like the home screen, change the settings so that when you press the home button it pulls up your app drawer.

@fifarunnerr: Can you tell me the exactly option?
@kylec: LOL
@Mylenthes: Didn´t you read my first post? I like android, but i like the iphone appearance and the GoLauncher has additionally a super Tab-styled surface --> I have the Galaxy Tab with Android 2.3.3, The GoLauncher installed and now i want reduce it to the Drawer/App Depot
@Nexus 4G: The same like fifarunnerr. There isn´t a option except "Open/Close the App drawer" but i want only "Open the app drawer".
Thx a lot

Miui, if available

But.that's a whole rom? I don't want to change my rom. And the adw iphone miui launcher isn't good.

That would be cool, if you could help me

Dude seriously you are retarded if you have a large screen tab and can't figure this out with the multitude of options at your disposal. This is either a troll thread from a bored individual or you really are clueless. Even after members here give you seven different options you just keep on asking?

MIUI or vlauncher is for you.

"Dude", that's not very nice...
@OP- I'm not sure you really have an option... Even if u switched to miUI, u would have several homescreens instead of one app drawer. Your going to have to sacrifice. and yes the open/close app drawer is the option I were referring too. I've never seen a rom/preference to completely remove your home screens... Sry bredrin )-:

There is a launcher in the Market called vLauncher that does exactly what you're asking for.

I've been using this, it keeps losing apps. It's better than nothing, but it's not as good as the MIUI Launcher.

I have lost an app when moving it to the trash can by mistake and tapping Cancel. Goto Settings, Applications and force stop it. Then restart vLauncher and the app should be back. I would like to see the developer pick this app up and do some updating.

Will Google features work with another launcher?

Thinking of installing Nova launcher when my phone ships, but was wondering if features like "OK Google.." and searching online for numbers within the phone app would still work?
Also, has anyone with a Nexus 5 found a way to hide apps in the app drawer you don't want there, or at least make a folder? I really want to use the stock launcher, and it baffles me Google leaves out basic functionality to sort and organize your apps... if anyone found a way please let me know, or if root can fix this somehow. Thanks.

You'd have to wait for Kevin to put similar features if he decides to assuming he can mimic the new launcher. I think the new launcher is closed source.. maybe we'll get a kernel soon with always listening

For hiding the apps part if you want to hide one of the stock apps you can simply disable it in the settings? (Settings > apps)

Google Launcher

Hello all, I'm new here - but have been reading these forums for a while. I have a Google Nexus 5 running Android 4.4.2. I would like to disable the launcher (Stock KitKat launcher) so that I can have only the Nova Launcher Premium. When I was running Android 4.4 this was easily done - I simply went to Settings-Apps-Launcher-Disable. This option is now grey and I am unable to select it. Any advise would be very welcome. Thank you.

Hit the home key, select Nova Launcher used always and restart the phone?

Thank you for your reply. I have selected Nova as my default home already but whenever I revert back to the stock launcher its full of app shortcuts and mess from installs and uninstalls which is annoying. I find every time I uninstall something I have to go back to stock to clean it up. That's why I liked the option to disable the launcher as I didn't have to bother with it.

[Guide]LG launcher hidden settings

There is a pretty simple way to go in these launcher settings.
1. Download and install Launcher Pro from Google Play (you don't need to set it as default launcher or anything)
2. Add Activities widget to your LG Launcher home screen. Search for Home - com.lge.launcher2.hiddenmenu.LGHomeHiddenMenuActiv ity
3. Voilà now you have access to hidden settings from your Home screen. If you change your settings they will keep even after restarting your phone.

Those just look like a non polished interface for your custom launcher. My guess is that they aren't LG launcher specific, they are Launcher PRO specific...
In which case you're telling us that a custom launcher has more features than the integrated one, which isn't really news to anyone on XDA mate.

look at the name of the shortcut.. it's LG launcher 2 hidden menu.. so yeah its a stock launcher hidden menu. you can use anycut or something else to launch different shortcuts that are otherwise hidden, but he's using a different launcher to launch the hidden shortcut.

Check that it is right one that you try to launch. There are 2 pretty similar names. Another one doesn't work.

I'm getting to the end of step two then when I try to get into the settings I get this force close when I tap that home icon that you see at the top of my homescreen (That's what the activities widget turned into). I'm on a rooted stock D801 on T-mobile

I'm only interested in changing a few settings on the LG launcher, does anybody know of a way to do basic stuff like change the alignment from 5x5 to something else?
*EDIT* found it! got it to work. you go into Home > the second hiddenmenu thing, not the first one you see.

As you can see at the bottom, no names on my dock icons. Feature_hotseat_notext did that

Easiest solution I've found.
It doesn't get rid of the ring but you can set to launch nothing.
