( please don't suggest any launchers)
I am still on 5.1.1 with horizontal app drawer and xposed. Previously I updated to marshmallow but later reverted back because of the vertical app drawer.
Or Is there a CM custom rom with VOLTE ? ( This is secondary though because there won't be Moto Actions)

Not to be rude or anything, but launchers are the easiest way to get horizontal app drawer. Since you have a horizontal app drawer on android 5.1.1, I'm assuming you haven't updated the google app and google now launcher. Because the update makes the app drawer vertical irrespective of the android version. You can try the Xposed GEL settings module to tweak it (can't say for sure, haven't used it in almost a year).
As for a ROM with VOLTE, almost all android N ROMs have VOLTE. But if you want to stick to marshmallow, use the latest cm13 snapshot and a patch for VOLTE (can be found in themes/apps/mods section).
I would concur, just throw Nova, Apex, Action, or your favorite launcher of choice in... 10x better than stock and customization friendly.
Xposed GEL
I have Xposed GEL installed on 5.1.1. I just want to know whether there's an option in GEL settings that changes the drawer from vertical to horizontal in 6.0.

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.

Highlighted the key part for you.
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...
Xposed doesnt Work on lolipop
Do you mean something like this? Appsi is what I used in the attached screen shot.

Hi. I have for the first time installed a custom ROM on my xt1033 and it is the Lineage OS 14.1 official 04/07/17 nightly. I was on stock 5.1 before this. Everything is working fine and I haven't observed any major issue yet. But, I am facing an odd but very specific issue:
I use paid version of Poweramp and used to having the 4x2/4x3 widget on a separate screen. I also was using nova launcher paid version in 5x5 grid mode when I was on stock. I used to easily resize the 4x2/4x3 widget to 5x2/5x3 by tap, hold and drag using the white outlines to cover the full screen width and to make it look uniform.
I was happy to see trebuchet launcher having most of the nova features I needed and wanted to keep my phone as light as possible without having the need to install nova but I am not able to resize the same widget in trebuchet. Tap and hold doesn't give any option to resize this widget. However, that is not the case with all widgets. Nova launcher is still able to do this on lineage. Attached the two screenshots.
Any way to fix this? Seems likely an issue with trebuchet launcher?
Hi all,
I finally managed to make some mods for OneUI launcher.
1) changed the app drawer to 6x8 or 6x9...but this is not available as a option to switch, it is hard coded, either use 6x8 or 6x9
2) disabled the adaptive icon (white icon around some app icons).
Since each device has a different version of the OneUI launcher, it may be better for me to share a guide with those interested....
I will try to post a guide shortly here in this thread....
Posting few screenshots...
I have removed the options of changing the grid options from the launcher.
Notice the app drawer having 6x9
Noticed that it seems to break few stock icons when using themes but this is happening because of cloning of app using appcloner. This is applicable only for those on non-rooted phone wherein you need to use appcloner to install a 2nd instance of the OneUi launcher
Update 1: I was able to customize it to 2 grids 6x8 and 6x9 and it is available as option in home and grid settings and works just fine

If you are still working on this, would it be possible to mod my S8 launcher?

I can try for sure...but it may not be easy without device since every mod requires testing...
you could also use home up that is included with GoodLock

That's exactly what i want to use but it's not running on my launcher. It's updated. I guess i need a newer phone for that. Not happening.
Thanks for the quick reply.
Hello,
I'm using ArrowOS 11 and Microsoft Launcher. When I return to the home screen by exiting the resource intensive apps, the launcher screen reloads and consequently my screen icons and widgets appear after about two seconds. How can I fix this?
Here is quote from Nova Launcher FAQ. (it applies to all custom launchers on Android not just Nova)
I guess you could try disabling gesture navigation but i'm not sure if it's gonna help.
It doesn't matter what 3rd party launcher or version of 3rd party launcher you use, it matters what your system/OEM does. If your system doesn't allow gesture navigation to work with 3rd party launchers, then no version of Nova will change that in any way. If it works inconsistently with 3rd party launchers, no version of Nova will change that either. A great source of information can be found via this article by Mishaal Rahman with input from Kevin Barry, the developer of Nova Launcher: https://www.xda-developers.com/third-party-launchers-animation-pixel-phones/ Notable issues with gestures on third party launchers include, but not limited to: • Close all/Clear app button not appearing(scroll all the way to verify it's not there) • Not being able to tap icons for a short time after returning to the home screen • Animations not being as fluid as expected • Home screen icons flashing • Home screen redraws Please understand, there is absolutely nothing Nova can do to fix or change this in any way! Contact Google or your device OEM directly with these issues as Nova have absolutely no control over it whatsoever. NOTE: These are system gestures only and are not related to Nova's personal gestures that you will find via Nova Settings -> Gestures & Inputs.

Notice to Xiaomi/Redmi/Poco users: Xiaomi has completely disabled gestures with third party launchers on MIUI 12 with Android 11 (MIUI 12 on Android 10 seems to be unaffected). As you have read above, there is nothing we can do on our end to change or enable this.

I rly like to use gesture navigation. This issue is not present on Arrow launcher.
OEM (Stock) launcher is not affected by this, only custom ones.

Good to know. Why full screen gestues are that problematic, even on custom roms?
It's not that gestures are problematic, from what i understand it's just custom launchers that cannot take full advantage of the API. (?)
Did you read this? https://www.xda-developers.com/third-party-launchers-animation-pixel-phones/
Not yet, I just returned to Android after few years with iPhone, and it's quite confusing. I'm installing now Pixel Experience, it will be closer to Pixel feel.
I'd just use whatever stock launcher you like best from the available ROM's and stick to that.
