      @cr9c I don't know. ๐Ÿ˜‰

      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...

          @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 โ€œNoDisplay=trueโ€ 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....?
