I believe you cannot change the app drawer for this phone. I hate all the apps at the bottom and prefer them on the home pages in some kind of order, Social Media, Banking, etc.
Is there a 3rd party app that can help me achieve this, please?
Thanks Graham
you can change the launcher, ie: nova launcher and etc
Only downside you will loose gestures but you can get them again using app mygesture.

Ok, so I'm using ADW now, and I'm loving it. The only question I have is not necessarily concerning ADW, but the action buttons... Is it possible to not have an application assigned to one, but like a mini app drawer, with specified contents? So for instance, I click on one, and it shows all my various social apps (Text Messaging, Facebook, Gmail, Yahoo mail, etc). Anyone aware of anything like this?
You could try Advanced Launcher Lite. You can't put it on the dockbar, but it does create a widget that you can add the apps you want to each category.

have you tried to create a folder, put stuff in folder, and drag it down to the bar?
I'm trying to find a way of hiding the icon text for apps placed on the homescreens. I know its possible with something like ADW Ex or other launcher replacements but is it possible with the stock programs?
Thanks
I don't think it is possible without any 3rd party app. Try Desktop Visualizer. I use it and it offers you a lot of flexibility, including hiding text. If you can't find it in the market do a Google search; it's available through other (legal) sources!

I think a 3rd party app called Bettercut will do the trick, I don't think it's free.

Cant you just hold down on the icon and rename it?
thanks for all your help. will go with desktop visualiser as it seems simple enough
thanks
Hello all- When I use an alternate launcher such as Apex, Mini, etc.. the clock widgets on the homescreen never update, they essentially stay on the same time as when I first placed the widget.
Is there some setting that I am missing or is this something Huawei implemented to stop people from using other launchers ?
Has anyone else had this problem ??
Cheers, LL13-
Hi,
I only had this issue with 3rd party apps like Zooper. I needed to protect the app from being closed when the phone goes to standby/switches off the screen ("Settings", "Protected apps", enable the switch for the 3rd party app which should not bee closed when phone goes on standby).
Maybe you also need to enable the same option for the 3rd party launcer as well. I'm using Nova Launcher and it is protected from being closed as well.
I don't want ios imitation. but simple Android launcher with all apps on home screen,just like miui
thx.

We hate warez mate, it's a disrespect towards the work of developers.
Broadcasted from Zeta Reticuli
Maybe instead of trying to cheat the developer, you pay them if you find it's what you want... Cracks and other Warez/pirate activities are forbidden here regardless of what you've heard.
If you don't want to pay, look for alternatives, Google turns up no shortage of options like iLauncher, Blaze, Launcher for 7 & Plus, or how to configure Nova/Action and other mainstream browsers so they don't have an app drawer.
You could pay for it then have two hours to see if you like it and return if you don't. That's probably what I like most about Google Play vs iOS App Store.
EDIT: I would also like to echo what's been said here. Don't do warez, not only is it unfair to devs but it is also potentially dangerous to your device if you download a "cracked" APK that was actually loaded with malware. So even for that reason alone, don't do it.

What bout zenUI? you can use it with/with out app drawer.:victory:
Try ASAP launcher, ap15 launcher and Edge launcher if you wanna reach your apps quickly
I couldn't adjust with the RROreo's default Trebuchet launcher and coming from MIUI, it was hard to settle with any other fancy launchers.
Tried every launchers available in the internet, that was similar to MIUI stock launcher. The MIUI Launcher suggested above is the close one in replicating the stock MIUI. However, I'd strongly advice against it, as it has some serious bugs. It duplicates app icons randomly, and you only uninstall the apps, can't remove the duplicate icons. It gets worse when system apps icons are duplicated.
I'd suggest this.
1. Install Nova and make it the default launcher(free version will do),
2. Create shortcuts of all apps on the home screen,
3. Enable 'Add icon to Home screen' in Playstore settings. (If you're in Oreo or can't see this settings in Playstore, Go to Nova Settings> Desktop and you'll see this option at the bottom of the list.)
4. Now hold the app drawer icon to remove.
I prefer to drag it to home screen and place it in a location or folder that is usually overlooked. I do this because, without the app drawer icon, uninstalling apps (especially when installed from APKs) would be a hassle, since it’s just a shortcut we are seeing in the Nova Homescreen. Adding the app drawer to the home screen (I know this is against the original goal in a sense, but this is very much different from having the app drawer in the dock), helps in uninstalling apps in ease.
Necrobumping because this thread comes up if you look up "Android launcher with no drawer".
After years of struggle, someone had finally made a good launcher with no drawer. Enter Lawndesk, a fork of Lawnchair without the app drawer. It supports modem functions of stock Android launcher, namely adaptive icons.

Hello I have just got my p40 pro and apart from a few apps not working I am so impressed.. One thing is there any way to hide apps in the app drawer? I have gone into home screen settings and can't see any options can anyone help please
You could try Evie Launcher. In this launcher you can hide apps from drawer. Its a stock Android looking launcher, very nice. Though it crashes on my P40 Lite. Its free too.
