Does Apex allow you to hide apps in the app drawer?

It’s all about the browser, some of them change it to zip and some keep the apk, its confusing sometimes

Just rename app.zip to app.apk. It’s pretty simple. Your browser is just changing the file extension. apk’s are just files in a .zip.

Never Mind. I checked out this link originally posted by Larry Mao, it answered my questions.

So the main concern I have with this is that it seemingly isn’t available in the Android Market. How are updates issued?

Webby, I use Pure Calendar as well. You know that stock ICS supports scrollable widgets now, right? No need for a custom launcher any more for that particular feature.

Of course there are other things that I like about Nova besides that and will probably give this Apex a try as well.

I installed like a third party app, works fine so far. Still studying all the functions, but it stays true to stock ICS

A apk is a zip file, just rename the extension and see if that works.

I don’t complain about them but how they do them, with roms you can chose and they are optional skins are not. I have always believed skins should a be choice (even if by defult) and you simply can say I want a stock or nonstock device from the getgo. If google could force the manufactures and carriers to do that I would love them even more.
