Hi Arno,
Yes. We're both well aware every Android likely has an app drawer app.

I use the last known good version of nova as my app launcher, for example,
and I can access my app drawer just by tapping the middle button on the
bottom of every Android screen (the circle between the lines & arrow).

It pops up three tabs (frequent, recent & new/updated) for example.
I also have at least a half dozen or more "app drawer" apps installed.

Long ago I tested every free app drawer app ever suggested on this ng.

That's when I found out about Muntashirakon, which, as you are aware, is an
app manager and not an app drawer, as we discussed earlier in this thread.

Suffice to say you and I aren't the normal person on this newsgroup as I,
in particular, have tested every app drawer app and every app manager and
every app updater ever suggested on this newsgroup that is free &
loginfree.

How many other people do you know who have tested that many of these apps?
None most likely.

Which is why I suggest three important learned pieces of advice:
a. Muntashirakon is a keeper
b. Updates aren't what people think they are
c. Most app drawer apps suck
