      BTW. waydroid desktop files are perfixed with "waydroid" in current versions, like this:
      waydroid.org.fdroid.fdroid.desktop

      So (re)moving .local/share/applications/waydroid.*should be enough.

      (Would be nice, if there were some filter in the app drawer, then we could just filter by the desktop file prefix ;-))

        Hi @luksus ,

        And If I want to keep only one or two icons from this family "waydroid.*"
        how should I proceed in the following script ... (In fact I'd like to make an exception ;o))

        #!/bin/bash
        
        waydroid session stop
        rm .local/share/applications/waydroid.*

          @cr9c I don't know. πŸ˜‰

          And I have the impression, that the desktop files, gets readded, when restarting waydroid, or when re-inititalizing... I am not sure. But it is not very comfortable to always move them away again...

            @cr9c hi, you have to mount the fike system writable to do this, right?

              @luksus You can make icons hidden and the are not comming back add last not on my device to do this you can do following:

              Hide launchers
              If you want to keep the .desktop files but hide the launchers, add β€œNoDisplay=true” to those you dont want to see. The following hides all Waydroid launchers:

              for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid*desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done

              Remove launchers for redundant apps:

              #Calculator
              for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.com.android.calculator2.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done

              Camera

              for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.com.android.camera2.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done

              Contacts

              for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.com.android.contacts.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done

              Email

              for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.com.android.email.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done

              Clocks

              for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.com.android.deskclock.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done

              Dailer

              for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.com.google.android.dialer.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done

              Files

              for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.com.android.documentsui.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done

              Gallery

              for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.com.android.gallery3d.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done

              Music

              for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.org.lineageos.eleven.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done

              Browser

              for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.org.lineageos.jelly.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done

              Recorder

              for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.org.lineageos.recorder.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done

              Calendar

              for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.org.lineageos.etar.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done

                @xray2000 how exactly did you use those commands? Putting them into an sh file and running it doesnt seem to work

                  @aarontheissueguy Just spoke with Xray right now, so open terminal and type:

                  sudo -s
                  sudo mount -o remount,rw /
                  for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.com.android.calculator2.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done
                  for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.com.android.camera2.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done
                  for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.com.android.contacts.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done
                  for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.com.android.email.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done
                  for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.com.android.deskclock.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done
                  for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.com.google.android.dialer.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done
                  for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.com.android.documentsui.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done
                  for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.com.android.gallery3d.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done
                  for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.org.lineageos.eleven.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done
                  for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.org.lineageos.jelly.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done$
                  for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.org.lineageos.recorder.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done
                  for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.org.lineageos.etar.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done
                  clear
                  reboot
                  

                  But not tested from my side!!!! Maybe test one of these commands and check if file is not shown anymore in your launcher. (don't forget to reboot device first)

                      @xray2000 Thanks everything except contacts is gone. I think I will write an helper app to make that things discussed in this thread easier for the average user.

                            @stanwood I wrote a small app to make this process easier. It shows you all the apps that waydroid installed and lets you hide it by swiping from left to right and show it again by swiping in the other direction.

                            make sure to reload the appdrawer after any changes. That means scroll up all the way and swipe down. The changes should have taken effect now.

                            This is very much bodged together but I plan to add more functionality and add it to the openstore eventually.

                            open the click with openstore to install

                              Why not publishing your app on the Openstore ?

                                      @aarontheissueguy i just have tested your app works great, do you plan to change the desktop names to apps names like for example Hidden/Unhide Email app i think this would be cleaner for new users....?
