I don’t remember the ability to hide apps. For a while Fairphone had it’s own launcher where apps were sorted in active and idle and I believe you could pin apps to stay in the active section.
But that launcher was introduced with FP2 and just later backported to FP1’s 4.4 alpha.
Anyways if that is what you are looking for you can follow the process of releasing the launcher as an app on F-Droid here:
