[GUIDE][NO ROOT][SUPER SIMPLE]Hide App from Launcher in 2 minutes! topic

Ever felt like hiding an application from Launcher's drawer but your there's no option to hide in your Launcher? or
No root so you can't even use Xposed to hide it? or
Want to include an app in your ROM but you don't want it to be displayed in the Launcher?

No Problem! Here's a way :P

Requirments:

*A PC
*Knowledge on how to decompile/recompile an application
*2 minutes
*Notepad++ or any text editor
*apk of the app that you want to hide

The procedure is simple enough. Let's start:

*Decompile the application that you want to hide from your Launcher.
*Open AndroidManifest.xml
*Find this(use Ctrl+F):

Code:

---

<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>

---

*Either delete the line or replace it with:

Code:

---

<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>

---

*Save it.
*Done!
*Recompile and flash the app! As simple as that!

Enjoy! :)

Password/fingerprint always required even though set to 5 minutes topic

I have the "secured lock time" set to 5 minutes in my lockscreen/fingerprint settings. However, despite this, if I push my power button to put my phone to sleep, and then I immediately push it again to turn my phone back on, I'm always required to scan my fingerprint/enter my password.

I thought by choosing 5 minutes, it should only require me to scan fingerprint/enter password if I don't use my phone for roughly 5 minutes. But it seems that if I put my phone to sleep by hitting the power button, I'm always required to scan fingerprint, no matter how little time has passed.

Any ideas? I've tried every setting (15 seconds all the way to 1 hour) and they all do the same thing. I've also tried turning fingerprint security off, and then on again. No help.

The only thing that comes to mind is that I do have an Exchange email setup that has a security policy. But it also allows 15 minutes. AND, I have it installed through the email app Nine, and I have Nine set to only operate security on the application level rather than the device level. So I don't see how Nine could possibly be requiring me to enter a fingerprint.

Would greatly appreciate any input!
