Leanback Launcher / Hide and/or Remove apps

by phin586

Has anyone been able to sort out a way to hide apps from leanback launcher, without rooting the device?

Why do I need Pluto.TV, when it is already integrated with live channels?

Hopefully this is something that we can do soon.

None that I've found. I agree we should be able to hide apps.

Not quite what you're asking, but to get rid of recommended apps bar on Sony TVs, goto Settings -> Apps, find Sony Shelf, force close it, and turn off notifications.

Since it's just Android, it's built into the Leanback Launcher. Don't think it will happen soon given that the Google Now Launcher doesn't offer it.

Custom launcher would be the best bet.
