According to a report published on Monday, Google will install a new launcher for the upcoming new Nexus handsets (rumored to be code named the HTC Marlin and HTC Sailfish). This new launcher eliminates the app drawer icon, but not the app drawer. You can access the app drawer by sliding up on the “frosted” zone at the bottom of the home screen.
There are five icons inside this zone. Or, you can slide up on the small arrow just above the frosted zone, or tap on the arrow. To shut the drawer, scroll down from anywhere on the screen except the nav bar and the notification screen.
