Question [Q]Any way of hiding apps?

Hi, is there any way of hiding apps in the apps drawer? There are a number of apps like license keys that are in the drawers which I obviously don't want to get rid of but also don't particularly want to see every time I open it.

My phone is rooted, but I don't want to use a different launcher, I like Sense.

edit. sorry posted in the wrong section - should've been in the general section. Can a mod move it?

Just to reply to my own question. If you have a rooted DHD and have Titanium Backup then "Freeze" removes an app from the drawer. I have hidden my license key for Touchdown for example (touchdown still works) and swept all that social networking vaporware out of the way as well. I haven't deleted, just hidden them to make updates easier.

Does anyone know what "Latitude" is called in HTC/Android speak?

I think Google Latitude is a feature on Maps that lets you share your current location with friends if you choose to.

Right, but it also appears as an "app" button in the app drawer. Does this mean I can't get rid of it? All that social networking stuff really bugs me.

Launcher Pro allows you to hide apps in the drawer (without root).
