        I can disable anbox and make android apps fail to start, but i'd also like to hide android apps.
        How ?
        I tried renaming the anbox data folder in home but no effect

          @suoko Do you want to uninstall/remove anbox or just hide the apps?
          There are desktop files named anbox* at ~/.local/share/applications which you can delete or move to other directory.

            @kugiigi Thank you. Do you know how to display hided files in the file Manager? Indeed, I can't find .local Directory.

            Many thanks beforehand!

            Edit: Found it! Second icon on the top from the right => show hided files

            I deleted the 2 .desktop files and they do not appear anymore!
            Thank you very much for your help!

              Great! This should be integrated in anbox-tool options, smt like --hide-apps

                @suoko Definitely yeah
                it's really easy to install/enable anbox but removing it is a few manual steps 😅
                However, it'll be replaced anyway so I don't think it's worth doing it, at least in this version of anbox.

                  @suoko Hope it worked for you as well. If yes, I guess we could mark this thread as "Solved" 😉

                    Gotta get used to forum rules again after the "telegram groups storm" of latest years 🙂
