Thank you ! Works great !

So in the first post,you said ics can hide the icons,but the only thing i can is remove fb in its whole.and i have stock 4.0.4 galaxy nexus.

Just wondering.

Ok i can use this line in a terminal emulator and its works?
So if I want to disable the Google plus messenger icons.
Which line I need to use?
Edit : and the flash player configuration icon

EDIT:

<application android:theme="@style/CommonTheme" android:label="@string/stupwizard_app_name" android:icon="@drawable/icon_launcher_htc_setup_wizard" android:taskAffinity="" android:description="@string/htc_company_name" allowSkinChange="true">
<activity android:label="@string/stupwizard_app_name" android:name=".MainActivity" android:taskAffinity="android.task.htcsetupwizard" android:screenOrientation="unspecified" android:configChanges="locale|mcc|mnc|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize">

So I guess there is no separated taskAffinity and I can't disable the icon without disabling the whole app.

You want to disable the Activity with an intent-filter of action.MAIN and category.LAUNCHER. Every activity with that filter will display an icon in the application drawer. If you want to send me the entire manifest I could take a look.

<intent-filter>
  <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
  <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>

Unfortunately that was some bad info on my part. I had read that ICS comes with a stock ability to disable applications (which some build do, it's up to the manufacturer/developer to enable it) and my only ICS device is a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. My tablet doesn't expose that functionality but does have a finer grained control in the app drawer to hide specific icons. I mistakenly though the Touchwiz behavior was the stock ICS application disabling functionality. What you are seeing on your Nexus is the stock behavior. You can use my application to disable the specific icons.

You could use the pm command but would need to find the correct package and class name for those icons.

Sweet!
