Can someone please tell me a way of how to hide apps on a non-rooted Evo 3d and other phones? I have only seen apps that require root for this feature to be effective.
Thanks
You mean just from the app drawer? Or punch in a secret code in the dialer or something?

"Go launcher ex" allows you to hide apps from your app drawer, if that is what you are asking.
ADW does that too, open up the app drawer, hit menu and set up group.
App Locker II - Fake Crash is what I use. Instead of hiding the app it just mimics a stubborn app force closing all the time. Don't really have any apps that need securing more than that. That's the free version, the same developer makes more secure paid versions.
Audio manager. looks like an audio app but you can actually have the fake crash report show or also hid apps/pics/vids completely with root. That along with private sms box should secure your phone quite well from wandering eyes. Not that I know from experience or anything...
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

I like that a lot better than the one I've been using. For a free app, it has a ton of features. Thanks!
A way to hide apps
I am looking for something to use on a non-rooted phone. Something that can hide the app from the main menu listing.
Thanks
Another vote for GO Launcher Ex. I've tried the major launcher apps, and GO seems to work the best for me on my EVO 3D.

You don't need root to run Go Launcher, it does replace sense though. Just search the market for "Go Launcher" then open app drawer, press menu, then hide app. Long time user of Launcher Plus and am happy I made the switch.
Is there any way I can do this using Sense, without changing to another launcher?
Maybe you can try downloading Z4root and temporarily root your phone to use the other apps. Not sure if on reboot the apps will stay hidden or not though, but it might be worth a try because I think every other solution out there is going to require root.
There's an app by the same developer as App Lock II called Invisible Protector that looks like it may be what you're looking for. Doesn't say it needs root in the description, and has a free 3 day trial.
With 'Go Launcher' how do you unhide the app?

#Root-Hack\Mod*Always_
""Shooter on Deck""
Under 'General Settings' I see
- Visual Settings
- Screen Settings
- App Drawer Settings
- Effects Settings
- Gesture Settings
- Advanced Settings
but not hidden apps
I want to be able to add custom home screen widgets (the screens to the right of the clock with a maximum of ONLY 5). I have searched around only to say it isn't possible without any further explanation; however, would rooting the device make it possible, in some way, to achieve my request?
I can't be the only one that would like to have this ability or is this simply a ridiculous request?
that's a million dollar question, bumping it up
Closest thing I have seen so far is a $1.99 app called Wearable Widgets. It's OK, but you also need to download wearable Widgets clock app as well (free). You can find it under your gear manager get applications, search. I added a photo of the two.
It's OK as I said, little clunky and seems to refresh flicker upon watch wake up. Overall I'd say 5/10 stars.

Hello XDA,
I was just curious if there are any good locker apps out there at I can have a free version that isn't extremely buggy. I have tried HI locker- horrible in my opinion it lags like no tomorrow. The next locker was okay I really liked the flashlight feature but my text notifications weren't showing up on time. Please help. Thanks ya'll.
+1 I'm also interested to know the opinions
AppLock and Norton Lock app are good options you can also use explorer built-in options to lock files
So I've been able to hide/secure/lock apps in some way on my past Samsung and OnePlus phones. When this is done the apps do not show up in the app drawer, show no details on notifications, and have to be unlocked to view. I've yet to find a way to do this via the Android 12 default launcher.
If there is a way great, could you walk me through the basics? If not I'll gladly take launcher recommendations to gain this functionality.
I use Nova launcher to hide apps from drawer and titanium backup to freeze unwanted apps
OnePlus has a built-in feature that allows you to lock any app with a passcode or fingerprint. I do wish Google had a similar function.

My last phone was a OnePlus and I was hoping my Pixel 6 had a similar functionality. Of course it doesn't, hence the question.
