Has anyone noticed that some of your paid apps are missing from the app drawer? The only way I can find some of them is to go into the Play Store and search for the app and open it that way. It shows as being installed but doesn't show in the app drawer. They aren't disabled and hidden because of that. I noticed this problem both before and after rooting. I'm still using the stock launcher though. Perhaps they would show up in Nova Prime?

I finally got my apps to appear. In the app drawer hit the menu button. Click on Hide/Show apps. Hide the app that is hidden already but not shown being hidden. Go to the home screen and then back into the app drawer and Hide/Show apps. Uncheck the hidden apps and they'll magically appear in your app drawer.

I was just wondering if any of y'all know how to remove some apps icons from the app menu? For instance better keyboard or some live wallpapers I've installed. I just wanna remove things that you can access from the settings. Thanks for your time.

I'm running LP (not sure if TW has this feature) and if you hit the
setting button > preferences > general settings> Hidden Apps > Choose the apps you want and hide them. I hid a lot it really comes in handy like swype tips.
I don't have launcher pro (which I'm assuming LP is) I'm using the default Touchwiz.

Touchwiz is a slow, uncustomizable, piece of junk. Use lp or adw

Though I'm a fan of anderwebs, I find launcher pro to be a better product. It comes with its own widgets and is very smooth. You can also hide apps in your app drawer.
Not sent from my Vibrant using XDA App 'cause I returned it.
I also use LaucherPro but I will also actually answer your quesiton.
Go into the App List and press
Menu>View Type>Cutomizable grid
Then press
Menu>Edit
You'll see little red minus signs on icons that can be removed. When you've gotten rid of the ones you don't want, just hit Menu>Save and you're all set. Of course, this means that you'll have to move the icons of new apps if you like the alphabetical list.
I have had my Nexus for about a month now maybe a little bit more. I have one problem I don't have pre installed app icons like contacts or camera, I know they are installed because I can add the contacts widgets, and I got the Nexus 7 camera launcher app. There is also other apps I have installed that I can't see the icons, and a couple I have un installed that the icons are still there. I am running stock but I am rooted

Your contacts are the 'People' app. Make sure you are looking at 'Apps' in the app drawer. 'Widgets' is another category. If you go to Settings > Apps > All, do you see the apps you think should be there? As to uninstalling, simply removing the shortcut from a screen does not uninstall. You can long-press a shortcut on a screen and choose 'Uninstall'.
I did not realize the name was changed, weird. They are on that list. I have tried reinstalling to no luck.

In the file list under Settings > Apps > All, touch one of the non-displaying apps and Force stop (if running), Clear Data, Cache, and Defaults (if active). Restart and check the app drawer again. Also, are you using a replacement launcher like Nova or Go? They may have custom settings for the app drawer to hide apps.
Hi,
I cant seem to find the option to hide the apps in the app drawer. Coming from an S3, I was able to go into the menu and select hide/unhide apps.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

It was there before but seems to have vanished now.
If it does not work to go to the app drawer and press menu, then I would suggest a aftermarket launcher. That's the best I cam some up with, I don't own a Note 3.

ive been wondering the same thing. I cant seem to figure it out either
Hey Guys,
On the Note 3 there has been a bit of a change:
• Hide applications (replaced with disable applications, which is now combined with uninstall applications as an option)

There are some nice enough developers to include a option to hide an icon from a Live Wallpaper settings. But that's only with about 20% of them. The rest are just creating a mess there. I have a lot of these Live Wallpapers, I often like to change the looks of my home screen.
It has become really hard to find apps, well you either have to slowly browse through them all to find what you have installed, or remember the names of the apps. I think Google should give users an option to hide and manage hidden apps. Or is there already a way? (without rooting)
You can hide apps by going to settings, apps and selecting the app you desire and press disable. Those that are disabled won't appear on your app menu. This feature is on stock ROM or not.

I'm on android 4.4.2 and there is no such option. And wouldn't that disable the app altogether from usage?
Download launcherpro from playstore, add laucherpro activity widget, scroll down to home and select the one listed as hidden menu activity. Score!

So what does this get you?
In trouble if you don't remember what you change. It gives you acess to change settings such as turn on and off features of your phone.

Would love some screen shots of what is available to change and if it would be worth the time?
Here you go, not sure what a lot of these do but I'm sure someone here does.

This should be how you guys can turn on themes. This is the Lg Home hidden menu
Do you need pro version of launcher pro. Cause I don't see any activity widgets
Nope, it should be the 1×1 activity widget.
Sent from my VS986 using XDA Free mobile app
this menu has been in previous LG devices but is not the "main" hidden menu. you guys can't find any other hidden menu?
and you can use this app to find hidden activities without changing your launcher: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.szalkowski.activitylauncher&hl=en
just open app.. select "all activities" from the top drop down menu and poke around.
It works without changing your launcher. The widget is available in stock launcher. You can also access service menu with this app and yours.

I'm unable to find the menus on the activity launcher. It seems it's not as complete as launcher pro.

I did this, but what did you launch to get to this menu?
It's under home and then home hidden menu activity I believe. After you create the shortcut you can uninstall the launcher pro app. The shortcut will remain.

Did anyone else get this working? I followed OP and do not see hidden settings under home screen using activity launcher. See my screen shot above.
Nova launcher wont allow me to enter those. Says app not installed or something :/. I got in to the other secret menu but not the main one. Sadly the main hidden menu has bt stuff that I might be interrested. Any idea why this happens. Mine is european 815.

One of the options on this hidden menu is "Support_Secret_Menu". I wonder if that'll activate an additional menu.
It'd be nice to have Display Frame Rate option on this menu.
crash
When i try to add the activity widget it crashes on me. Not sure if its because i have 7 screens or a active wallpaper or what..

I have given up. I have the same LaunherPro installed, and have selected the same activity widget, but I do not have a hidden menu option in my list. Tried to uninstall and reinstall and no go. Thanks though, good find.
Idk. I installed the Hidden Activities app and found Verizon Hidden Menu but it won't open and instead I get an error message.
