Remove app icons from screen

I am using a Samsung Galaxy S7. How can app icons be removed from a screen. The process does not seem to be the same as a regular Android phone. When I long-press an app icon all icons wiggle, the apps that can be uninstalled have a minus icon, others presumably are pre-installed, but some of those I do not use and do not want their icons to appear on my screen. I did get some to disappear by continued pressing on the icon, but then they came back!!

Sorry, there is no ā€˜disapear’ in bliss launcher. You only can remove unwanted system apps via TWRP file manager or via adb

hi @steveredshaw this ā€˜icons disappearing’ which you mentioned is a bug as you would have guessed. There is a detailed rework of the launcher code in process which should effective resolve this issue.

Yes BlissLauncher is similar to iOS, there is no ā€œapp drawerā€ and you can’t put an icon where you want on the screen.
So you will have to change the launcher or create a ā€œUselessā€ folder.

I have noticed some different launchers available - which is recommended for a newbie?

I use TotalLauncher, and been using Librechair.There are a bunch of them (open ones).

that’s wrong, you CAN created folders on Bliss and you can move the icon’s into or on other screen. But I also prefer a better launcher. And I’m also using TotalLaucher. It’s high customizable and you can ā€˜hide’ icons with it :slight_smile:

I meant that it’s not possible to have a void between two icons on the same page.

Ah, OK, that’s right

By the way, there is a nice HowTo in the eWiki section

This is useful - thanks

Total Launcher - I like that a lot - very stylish, very customizable - though I did find, when I swivelled my phone 90 degrees, that landscape orientation has also to be set-up, it is not connected with the portrait orientation!
