Sense App Drawer

---

Is there a way to hide certain apps from the app drawer without rooting? I know there are different launchers that are able to do this but I like the stock Sense launcher.

Also, Is there a way to remove the recent apps from the notification bar?



Thanks in advance.

I could be totally wrong here but it seems like what you're asking for is going to require root.

Even if I rooted, I think the only way would be for me to use Root Explorer and renaming the .apk file to .bak... Unless anyone else knows of other methods?

Why do you want to hide them? Are you trying to hide bloatware w/o rooting?

I think rooting is going to be the way to go. Sure you can find some launchers that hide them, but Sense doesn't play nicely with them.

I use launcher pro (rooted, BeastMOD 1.3.1), so I have two docks with 5 icons each with a standard and a swipe gesture. i also have widgets for more important things, so the ONLY use I have for my app drawer is to access apps that I use relatively rarely.

For example, I have the Digital Clock widget on my home screen. I have zero use to look at an icon for it taking up space in my app drawer.

I have a similar (but different) question. Is is possible to organize the downloaded apps in the drawer in alphabetical order? It currently puts the most recently dl'd apps at the top, making finding apps a pain in the ass. My phone is stock and unrooted.

Without rooting I guess you must use some launcher with function to hide or grouping.

I used ADW EX and it caused no problem with stock Sense. With ADW you can set up groups and put apps that you don't like into a group and name it "junk" or something like that and never touching that group when open app drawer ...

Edit: Sorry for my replied making no sense since you stated that you wanted Sense ... Just disregard this post

Oh well...sense is too nice to give up for another launcher..
