Is there a way to hide the ugly SIM Tool Kit icon from the launcher? The SIM Tool Kit icon is ugly and app is one that I never used. Unfortunately, I've read that it is one of those system apps that cannot be removed so I'd like to simply hide the icon from my launcher.

I'm using the Google Launcher and not running any XPosed mods.
In NOVA launcher it is simple.
Settings / Menu / Hide applications

This will hide it in the app drawer.
