Ionic - Showing side-menu ONLY in concrete pages

I'm developing an App with Ionic Framework, and I only want to show a side-menu in some concrete views, but not in every view.

I' have my menu.html file:

<ion-side-menus>

  <ion-pane ion-side-menu-content>
    <ion-nav-bar class="bar-positive nav-title-slide-ios7">
    </ion-nav-bar>
    <ion-nav-view name="menuContent" animation="slide-left-right"></ion-nav-view>
  </ion-pane>

  <ion-side-menu side="left">

    <ion-content class="mymenu">

      <div id="menu-list">
        <ion-list class="list">
          <ion-item item-type="item-icon-left" nav-clear menu-close href="#">
            <i class="icon ion-home"></i><span>Menu Item</span>
          </ion-item>
           ...
        </ion-list>
      </div>

    </ion-content>

  </ion-side-menu>

</ion-side-menus>

My index.html's body tag looks exactly like this:

 <body ng-app="myApp">
   <ion-nav-view></ion-nav-view>
 </body>

And the JavaScript code where I set up my App states:

    .config(function($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider) {
      $stateProvider
        .state('app', {
          url: "/app",
          abstract: true,
          templateUrl: "templates/menu.html",
          controller: 'AppCtrl'
        })

        .state('app.page1', {
            url: "/page1",
            views: {
                'menuContent' :{
                    templateUrl: "templates/page1.html"
                }
            }
        })

        .state('app.page2', {
            url: "/page2",
            views: {
                'menuContent' :{
                    templateUrl: "templates/page2.html"
                }
            }
        })

        // etc...

       // if none of the above states are matched, use this as the fallback
       $urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/app/page1');
   });

page1.html and page2.html both contain the following structure:

<ion-view title="something">
   <ion-content>
       ... // here comes the html content of the page
   </ion-content>
</ion-view>

What can I actually do to only show my side-menu (menu.html) on page1.html and not on page2.html?? Is there anything I'm missing??

Is there a way of inserting the menu.html content only on those pages I want it to appear and forgetting about creating the state that uses it as templateUrl?

The reason why your all your pages have side menu is because you 'app' state as their parent state. When a state is activated, its templates are automatically inserted into the <ion-view> of its parent state's template. If it's a top-level state, because it has no parent state then its parent template is index.html. The app state has the side menu in it.

Your code should look like this:

config(function($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider) {
      $stateProvider
        .state('app', {
          url: "/app",
          abstract: true,
          templateUrl: "templates/menu.html",
          controller: 'AppCtrl'
        })

         //this state has the 'app' state (which has the sidemenu) as its parent state
        .state('app.page1', {
            url: "/page1",
            views: {
                'menuContent' :{
                    templateUrl: "templates/page1.html"
                }
            }
        })

         //this state has no parent, so it uses 'index.html' as its template. The index page has no 
         //sidemenu in it
        .state('page2', {
            url: "/page2",
            templateUrl: "templates/page2.html"
            }
        })

         ///more code here
   });

if your problem is simple , use

onExit: function(){
    angular.element(document.querySelector('#menuAPP')).removeClass('hidden');
}

into state
