About:
This windows application will have you connect your Android device to your windows pc and allow you to show or hide android apps. Root is not required to do this. All of these commands can be done manually as well. This application allows you to do so with just a few clicks! Clear out your app drawer by hiding apps you do not use!

I am not responsible for what you do with this application, you are using it at your own risk and you assume all liabilities.
Version:

a. The “Show/Hide Apps” and “Reboot” options will become active.

Depending on your version of Android and the device you have, not all features may work or work as intended. Please keep this in mind.

The new market is incredibly slow compared to old market on my IncS CM7. quickly reverted back to old market. doesn't seem worth it just yet.
The new, and old, Market is very fast with this App.
Im using "Google DNS".
I can't see my own apps anymore in this market
Why in the new versions, the Market doesn't remember what I installed previously !?? It would be great if there was a way to remember what I installed and redownload it after a Full WIPE for example.... Why did they took away that option from us ?!
I find the new Market v3.3.11 is faster than the old one. As what Enes_81 and Me4oKyX mentioned, the installed apps in the phone is not being seen. I think that is the only part missing in the layout but it is still accessible when you press Menu button.
Market updated
what's the lateste version?
hmm i can't revert to the old market after flashing this one..
i just updated to a pervious version , trying yours right now , thanks
Greeting Guys!!!
This Tutorial is to tell you How To Install Android 4.4 KitKat Launcher On Any Jelly Bean Device !!!
It’s worth noting that Google Experience Launcher may not work on all phones, and you may face force close issues. In my own testing, the launcher didn’t face any problem whatsoever on the international variant of Galaxy NOTE II, but your mileage may vary depending on your device. I advise that you create a backup before proceeding. Best of Luck :good:
Requirements
A phone running Android 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 Jelly Bean
This archive => http://d-h.st/oHj .It contains:
1. PreBuiltGmsCore.apk (Google Play Services 4.0)
2. Velvet.apk (Google Search)
3. GoogleHome.apk (Launcher)

}
Procedure
1. Again, to be on the safe side I recommend that you create a backup first to avoid any issues.
2. Next up, download the ZIP fie provided in the link above and extract its contents to an easily accessible location. You can download the file to your PC and transfer them to your device, or you can download it straight to your Android device and extract the archive using any file extraction app.
3. Now, install all three files available in that folder one by one by simply tapping on them..
4. Once done, simply press Home and select the new Launcher as default.
Note: If you face Google Search Force Close issue, just long-press the home screen in the new launcher, select Settings and then tap Voice. Select Language to change the default. You can change to any another language and then again back to your own language by following the same procedure.

Errors i Cant seem to Fix
Parsing error any ideas
How to make the app grid 5x4??? Mine is 5x5 by default...tried reboot but didnt change! Any workarounds???
UPDATE: there is an alternative app that let you change the color mode, but you need root.
If you're interested, this is the xda thread, and the dev is @emandt. This is the only way I've found of having a not saturated color mode if you don't have a touchwiz rom, like Cyanogenmod.
works for me on G920f rom Touchwiz
< Tutorial >
1 - Join this community
Manual download - Version 1.1.6
Download link: http://www.emandt.net/Android/ColorModeChanger/Testing/ColorModeChanger_1106.apk
Version 1.1.6:
- Fixed Interface issues on Tablets
- Fixed FC on UI opening on Tablets
Limitations ONLY during BETA period:
1) Each time you launch the App it checks for License. If internet connection is not available, the App will not run.
2) For cause n.1 the option "Start at boot" will not work because internet connection is not ready during boot (but it will work when released outside the Beta period)
3) Only MANUAL update available
4) If you have more than one Google Account registered on your device, please contact me because I have to manually add the others to the Licensed list.
- Install on External SDCard is not supported
- Only English Language available
Instructions and development choises:
To avoid creating a permanent running Background Service/Process AND a separated Interface (for changing Settings) I preferred to use an "all-in-one" App which requires this steps:
- first launch the App doesn't show anything (it just set the default/last_saved configuration)
- if launched AGAIN within 30 seconds it will open Settings Interface
- next launches follow the same behaviour as before
This behaviour is intended to work with "Start at boot" options to avoid Interface launching after a Boot is completed.
PS: Open the Interface (the second launch within 30 secs from the first one) may take few seconds while reading informations of your screen.
Instructions for download and activate it:
1) Visit this link and accept to be a Beta Tester: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.emandt.colormodechanger (this link will allows your Google Account to get a valid License)
2) PLEASE DON'T DOWNLOAD the App from Play Store because a payment is required even if in Beta (Google is crazy charging Testers for this), but manually download it with the link above
Please report bugs providing Device Name and Android Version or I cannot help you so much.

Multi- window in Android 6 Marshmallow lets you view multiple apps together in split view . However , this feature is reportedly only available for Android tablets , and smartphones. If you have already installed the latest Marshmallow on your device and have also rooted your device , there is no reason why you can ’ t enjoy this super useful feature on your smartphone too.
How to enable multi-window in Android 6 Marshmallow :
There is a workaround to get split view mode on your smartphones , if you have rooted your device . To activate multi-windows in your devices , here are the steps you need to follow :
1. Android smartphone running Marshmallow
2. Root root access
3. Download Amaze file manager app
*Open the installed Amaze file manager app and grant it root permission.
*Go to / system / directory and open build. prop file.
*Inside the file , edit it and change the value of build type from user to userdebug
*Save the build.prop file.
*Reboot your device.
*Once back , enable Developer Options: go to Settings > About Phone > tap on Build Number seven times.
*Go back to Settings > Developer Options > go to the bottom of the Drawing category and enable Multi-window from the options.
Congrats!
Yep , it was that easy to get multi- window on Android 6 on your rooted Android smartphones. For the tablets , all you need to do is enable developer options , and then toggle multi-window on . Enjoy using multiple apps in the split view mode .

If you like my work thanks me. Feel free to contact me via my twitter handle from the link above if you have any enquiries.
Before it was so simple, just go to unknown sources and select allow. Now I do not understand how to do it. I have seen a bunch of posts and videos, it's easy. They say go to Biometrics, select install unknown apps, and they say just allow the app. However, when you do this it only shows apps that are already installed. My app is an apk on the device and CAN NOT BE INSTALLED because it's an unknown app. So how in the world can I allow it if it's not installed? Sorry, this has been very aggravating, but thanks for the help!
Spoiler: Lots of screenshots and instructions:
1. In your File Manager of choice (I'm just using the Magisk app for example):

2. "Settings"
3. "Install"
4. "Allow from this source" defaults to disabled for any particular file manager (or other apps that have app-install capabilities):
5. Toggle "Allow from this source" to enabled:
6. "Install":
7. Installing...
8. App installed.
(I'm aware the last several screenshots aren't displaying - at least for me, in the submitted post. They display fine for me when I Edit the post. I originally had these screenshots in the post before this one, and I thought splitting them off might fix the screenshot issue, but it didn't.)
If you want to double-check what apps are or aren't allowed to install other apps:
Spoiler: A handful more screenshots and instructions
A. Android Settings:
B. Type "unknown" in the search field at the top:
C. Click the "Install unknown apps" search result, and then click on the flashing "Install unknown apps":
D. Scroll as you please:
E: For example "X-plore":
F. This toggle again:
