Hello,
I'm seeking for a mean to hide some app from the app drawer, and, if I understand clearly what I read on the Internet, in older version of EMUI you had to pinch the screen to make appear an hidden menu but it doesn't seem to work anymore.
Can somebody help me ?

hey guys i'm looking for an android app that will allow me to start apps or do some task by swiping a certain pattern when i'm on the desktop screen.
for example if i swipe upwards it will bring up the app drawer, if i swipe down it will open the notifications, if i 'Z' swipe some other app/task will launch etc etc
any suggestions much appreciated
LauncherPro has some of what you're talking about, but you can only have one swipe direction (up). But you can put pretty much anything there. For example, I have my swipe shortcuts related to the actual shortcut. Shortcut- camera. Swipe - gallery. Shortcut - phone. Swipe - contacts... you get the idea.
not exactly what you're looking for, but similar:

I find SwipePad incredibly useful. Not exactly gestures but one swipe can get you to 12 apps or shortcuts. It works with Anycut too so they can be anything.

Maybe this? Haven't tried it, but sounds like what you're describing: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.reeyees.gesturelauncher&feature=search_result

Just a warning about Swipepad, while it is a useful app, it will break any third party screen brightness apps/widgets, so you will only be able to control screen brightness via stock android controls.
I have tried to get the dev to address this, but he does not seem interested in doing so.
Does anyone know how to get your app drawer in the navigation bar???
I would love to get my app drawer in my navigation bar but i have not found this option yet. I'm tired of going to the home screen just to open the app drawer when the app drawer could be on my navigation bar. Please tell me if this is even possible.

I don't think possible. The app drawer is part of the launcher. It isn't a process of its own. You would have to assign an emulated hardware button to that process alone.

Hi Folks,
I just wanted to know if there's a launcher that shows the app shortcuts either ONLY on the Homescreen or in the drawer when it has not been placed on the Homescreen. For Example the telephone app has no function in the drawer, because its always on the main side of the Homescreen.
I would find this very useful!
thanks in advance
P.s. after posting i realized that this is not the right forum for this but i don't know how to delete or transfer it. Sorry bout that dear Admin.
nova launcher? or apex? you choose to hide things which are in a group from appearing in other groups.

I know that you can hide Apps in the drawer. But i don't really get what you mean with hiding groups. I want Apps to AUTOMATICALLY "hide" when i place an app to homescreen.

Have a look at Smart Launcher
Is there possibility to hide any app or make a separate tab with chosen apps in app drawer without whole launcher. Its so annoying when search any app to see all useless samsung apps or apps that are needed but you never use them with start within app drawer. Some kind of favorite apps or something ... ? Also search functionality in app drawer ?
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.
