Please try to make an update and include the module in settings. It would be nicer

Hm, I don't think that most users want that. We will see and maybe I add such an option. Btw this is my first Android app, so don't expect fast development...

I don't expect fast development. It must be hard to build an app. Hope you will decide to add this opinion.

Working good, been waiting for something like this :good:

I like that we can even hide the "Hide Apps" app :) from drawer and still access it via the Xposed modules section. I also like that you can put an app into a folder on the desktop and then hide it, and it stays in the folder! Very cool.

This is a great idea, thank you!

But a number of apps I have selected to hide are still visible, such as Google Settings.

Great module

This is an awesome module, great job.

I had this problem, when I hide Google app it hides Google+ also.
oh and hidden apps show again after updating, otherwise all is working fine.

Thanks a lot for making this - I have been waiting for this module since GEL has existed.

The fact that you can hide apps from the drawer but keep any homescreen shortcuts accessible is great - I just have all "computer janitor" stuff like other xposed modules and Hide Apps itself stashed away in a folder now and not cluttering up the app drawer.

    I'm closing this thread to avoid 20 pages of "doesn't work!" comments. As a reminder, you can find the source here and send a pull request to make it compatible with the latest GEL update. ;)

    @depressiveRobot, please let PM me or any mod when you want this thread reopened.

    new bug fix release v1.0.2

    I released a new version which shows the same set of apps as the app drawer of the GEL. This should fix the problem with Google Settings app and others.

    A nice feature could be the possibility of rename app in GEL :D

    new bug fix release v1.0.4

    Currently I have some extra time so I was able to fix the latest bug :victory: Version 1.0.4 should fix the bug where all apps with same name (e.g. Clock) get hidden if one of them is selected to hide.
