It looks like you can hide apps and create/move between sections within the apps menu page without root just by editing:

mnt/ext1/system/config/desktop/view.json

If you mess up, or want to reset you can delete this file and a default one is recreated at reboot.

The info in the file seems relevant also, especially the part:

Code:

 "Fields - application key id, must start from \"U_\" for user application\n",
            "Support application subfields:\n",
            "> \"path\" - path to application (Required for user apps. Support apps only from userspace)\n",
...
"Examples:\n",
            "1) \"U_MyApp\": {\n",
            "     \"path\": \"applications/my_app.app\", \n",
            "     \"param\": [\"-a\", \"25\"],\n",
            "     \"title\": \"My application\",\n",
            "     \"icon\": { \"path\": \"applications/icons/my_app_icon.bmp\" },\n",
            "     \"focused_icon\": \"desktop_app_calc_f.bmp\"\n",
            "   }\n",

I'll try and have a more in-depth look after work later.
