Switched to a new(ish) phone: > Unlocked Cell Phone (2022), Ulefone Note 14 Pro Smartphone Unlocked, 4GB+64GB, 6.52" Waterdrop Display, 4500mAh Battery, 13MP Dual Camera, Android 12, Triple Card Slots, Type-C, GPS, Green from Amazon but cannot locate the App Drawer . Certainly, I can go to settings -> apps to see all apps. What I'm looking for are the icons to apps which I can drag-and-drop so that they're copied to the home screen. Where is the app drawer? *Not all apps seem available by swiping left and right.*

I’m on a Samsung S20 5G, Android 12 (just moved to this phone). On my old phone which ran android 8.1 (I don’t remember the exact model, but it was a phone from Huawei), In the Display settings I could disable the app drawer and make all the apps show on the main Home Screen. I’ve been looking around in settings and I just can’t seem to find an option that lets me disable the app drawer. Do I have to drag all the folders and apps in the drawer to the Home Screen for it to go? Or is there a simpler option in settings?

Currently using a Samsung S10e with Android 11. I Smart-Switch'ed from a Samsung J7 prime with Android 8, a couple of months ago. I could group apps in my Android 8 by (as best as I remember): 1. From the *Home* screen, swipe from the bottom up. This led me to the *App drawer*. 2. If creating a new folder, long press on any icon in the *App drawer* and drop it on top of another app that would share the folder. 3. If adding an icon to an existing folder, long press on the icon and drag-and-drop it on the folder. Now, when I long press on an icon in the *App drawer* and I start dragging it, the *Home* screen is immediately shown for dropping. So I can now group icons as above in my *Home*, same as before. But I cannot do that in the *App drawer*, where I am certain **all** app icons are shown, and thus I am certain all icons are assigned to some folder (or left in the "root" folder). **Is that grouping still possible in the *App drawer*?** It *might* not be possible with the default launcher, but I want to make sure before moving to a different launcher, like Nova. **Related**: 1. https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/244479/folders-organization-in-home-screen-not-always-shown 2. https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/6/18246685/how-to-organize-android-home-screen 3. https://www.techrepublic.com/article/declutter-your-android-apps-with-nova-launcher/ This suggests you *need* an alternative launcher to allow for grouping icons 4. https://www.wikihow.com/Group-Apps-on-Android This suggests you *don't need* an alternative launcher to allow for grouping icons, although it might be outdated 5. https://www.forbes.com/sites/ewanspence/2016/03/03/google-android-n-app-drawer-removal/?sh=389ec8a53853 : "For those not familiar with Android terminology, the home screen is where app icons can be optionally placed when installed, along with any widgets or shortcuts. The app drawer is an icon present on the home screen that opens up a list of every application installed on the phone. This split nature of home screen and an app drawer is one of Android's main points of differentiation with Apple's iOS."

I am contemplating getting a Nova Prime launcher, as opposed to my current combination of Nova free and Folder Organizer. The main feature of Folder Organizer that I see as a must-have and not sure if possible on Nova is an easy way to find ALL of your installed un-labeled apps (via "Other Applications automatic label") so you can work on relabeling/foldering them (assuming your goal is to have a proper folder for every app you have). **Is there such a feature (easily find all not-in-folders installed apps) in Nova Prime?** If not, a second subquestion is, is there a good replacement launcher among those well known (Apex, GO, etc...) that has such a feature?

In MIUI I have Files app hidden. I don't have it in my drawer. I can run it by adb shell like this:

am start -n com.android.documentsui/com.android.documentsui.LauncherActivity

But how do I add this activity to drawer? I was trying THIS way, but I cant find this piece of xml in sysconfig. Maybe because I have android 9. Also, I don't know if I'm supposed to create new topic about this, but is there any option on sources.android.com to see previous versions of the page (It could help me to figure out how to show it in andro 9)? **EDIT:** *In Android 10, the DocumentsUI module uses is_launcher_enabled to determine if the Files launcher icon should display in the app drawer.* I extracted the apk file with the ApkExtractor and checked this flag with the APK Editor Studio. I don't know if it gave me files actually used by the app, but It seems to be untouched: **AndroidManifest.xml**

android:enabled="@bool/is_launcher_enabled">

**res/values/bool.xml**

true

**Question How to lock home screen icons folders dragging deleting settings** I have rooted my mobiles and installed Nova launcher now on home screen i have categroized apps icons in circle folders. As the phone is also used by kids and family members whole opening touching the mistakenly drag or delte the icon on home screen folders mistakenly How can in rooted phone I can lock the home screen or drawer or folder icons or new notifications from deleting or dragging or changing...or from settings changes without pin or administrative permissions . Is it possible through app or adb shell commands kindly suggest.

I recently bought a Samsung smartphone which has its OneUI. App drawer has horizontal scroll, but does not support infinite scroll. Is there any setting or an app I can install to get the infinite scroll? To elaborate, in the app drawer, apps are arranged on different pages, with 4 x 5 apps per page. Suppose I'm on the last page, and I want to open an app in the first page, I'll have to scroll left all the way back to first page and then open the app. If infinite scroll is enabled, I can just scroll right and it would bring me to first page.

Question :- Any apps or ways to categories group apps folders in menu view Is there any apps or setting to categories group move apps installed icons in folders inside menu view. as there is jumble of apps to search in alphabetical order which cant be moved or.clubed inside menu view of. Android 6.0 unrooted mobile phone. I had searched Google and.finded smart launcher go launcher x or drawer to. Circle launchers but all just change wallpapers or screens or create widgets folder organizer manager but no one manages the menu view Yes I know we can create folder in home (mobile desktop views) but rereating folders shortcut making home screens desktop jumbled will slow down booting of Android starting and many time it don't display icon image on reboot of mobiles. Can we create self menu (as start menu in Windows properly organised) through app and hide the original menu and replace our own menu. I have seen a circle.menu recreated by some apps. Any stable good idea or app to create organize categorise apps icons shortcuts in a menu view as it's not customisable in Android 6.

**UPDATE:** It stopped happening after the latest OS (and launcher) update - to Android 8 ______ Why does my SIM Toolkit icon is duplicated tripled? The second one appeared not so long ago, and it never happened before (I have the phone for more than a year and a half). There wasn't an OS update when it happened, or something I can think might affect, and there's only place for one SIM in that device. Note: * It happens only in that launcher. * Reboot or re-inserting the SIM does not change it. * Clearing launcher app cache doesn't help. * I don't want to clear the app data, because I'll probably lose the organization of the apps. * It appears only once in the app list in the settings. ***Device details:** LG G5, Android 7.0, stock ROM, no root*

I have few icons at the bottom of my app drawer, that are unmarked. I don't know what apps they represent and look like an unfinished installation. They look like this: How can I get rid of them? I already tried cleaning cache of Trebuchet and Play Store. This may be a bug in OS, because I am running unofficial build of LineageOS 17 (Android 10 based) on my device. Nevertheless, is there a way to remove those icons?

When I got my first smart phone years ago, there was no app drawer. Every app I had was represented as one button in one app menu, so I didn't have to look in two places if I couldn't find an app. To me this was ideal, but now that I use Android phones I have to deal with both the app drawer and the home screen. I just got a new Moto g7 Power (Android 9 "Pie") and backed it up from my old Android phone, so there are over a hundred apps on it. I want all of my apps to show up on the home screen so that there aren't apps lurking in the app drawer that I can just forget about, and so that the apps I want to use are easier to access. Is there any way I can automatically add all of my apps from the app drawer onto the home screen so that I don't have to manually hold and drag over a hundred apps one after another? It's fine if they don't automatically get sorted into folders etc. because I'm happy to do that myself. When I looked up my question in the Play Store, I found an app called Smart Drawer but it's not even smart enough to know what a game is. Are there any other apps I should try? It's maddening that it's so hard to find information about this. I would have expected this to be an extremely common thing for Android users to want to do.

I want to hide some applications from other people who have access to my phone but be able to get to the application whenever I want. I don't want locking. I need it to be not seen on applications list.

When using galaxy S4, I could create a folder in the app drawer. But after I changed my phone to galaxy A3, I couldn't find any menu to create a folder in the app drawer. How can I do that in galaxy A3? Thanks before in advance.

I'm running Android Oreo 8.1. How do I have the day off the week show up next to the date in the notification drawer drop-down? Thanks.

I have a pixel 1 and I upgraded to Android Pie yesterday. Now I have started to notice missing apps in the app list. They are still installed and appear in widget form on the main screen but do not show up in the app list. They all appear finance related which is also interesting. Is there a new AI "feature" that filters rarely used apps from the list or something? Can I turn it off?

I removed Google Drive from system/app using Root Explorer. However, when I check the app drawer, the icon is still there. (When I removed other system apps like samsung's ChatOn, the icon disappeared). I wish to remove other google apps I don't need/use, but I dont want to leave a bunch of nonfunctional icons in the drawer. What am I doing wrong?

When I select the menu entry called "Uninstall/Disable apps" - from the apps drawer which can be reached from any home screen by tapping the 16-square icon in the lower-right hand corner - I can disable or delete any apps. However, clicking on an app disables it. I remember being able to uninstall apps by dragging them to a delete trash can icon. I cannot figure out how to delete an app on the apps drawer. Also, while I realize this might vary from app to app, what would be some of the most common reasons/advantages to disabling an app? P.S. I think the screens accessible by clicking the 16-square icon are what is called the app drawer, correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks. I am on a Samsung Galaxy SIII (Android KitKat 4.4.2) and I am cussing the default TouchWiz launcher. (I would have liked to attach screenshots but at the moment my network connection is slow).

TouchWiz (TouchWiz Nature UX on Samsung Galaxy S III mini) allows **creating folders** and reorganizing application in application list / **app drawer** (in "Apps") when using 'Customisable grid' view type: "Menu > View type > Customisable grid", then "Menu > Create folder" This allows creating folders to group applications. You can edit name of folder by touching it and then touching on name, you can put such folder on home screen / launcher via long press, and you can put applications in folder via "Menu > Edit" and selecting folder (edit works only on folders); then in this edit mode you can add apps with "+", and remove them by moving them outside folder. I cannot find however how to ***remove*** such folder from TouchWiz app drawer. (The articles and answers I have found by googling are about folders on home screens, i.e. in apps launcher not apps drawer).

I want to remove an icon shortcut from home screen. But not uninstalling them. OS is Lollipop and rooted. Is any way to hide an icon from home screen by terminal emulator. I don't want to change to nova launcher or any other app. Thanks in advance.

Is there any android app to monitor the time you have worked with another app in the android device? I want to see how many hours I use an app in a day.
