How to hide apps on the Samsung Galaxy Light?

[pandalma]

Hi everyone. I recently bought the Samsung Galaxy Light and was wondering how I can hide apps from view in the app menu and photo albums from my gallery? I hit the menu button on both screens to display a popup settings menu but I don't seen an option to hide anything. Also, it wont let me scroll in the popup menu to see more options. I have the MetroPCS version of the Light. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,
Which launcher are you using?
I'm using the Nova Launcher Prime, where this function is included.
For the gallery, I recommend "Quick Pick". There you can hide folders and pictures easily.

Thank you. I am not currently using a launcher, but i will give that one a try. Also thank you for the recommendations.

Thank you. I am not currently using a launcher

The homescreen is the user interface of the launcher you're using. If you weren't using a launcher, all you'd see is a black screen. Every Android phone comes with a launcher built in.

Yes, but I meant I have not downloaded any external launchers that you may get from the Play Store. Thank you anyways.

Well ... you're using TouchWiz now - which, in the opinion of many should be illegal (or worse - the developer should be tortured for a few years).
