are folders for apps/games/utils possible?

Hey,
im trying to do a nice theme and what id ideally like is the option to have on the main page to have shortcuts to folders containing just specific items such as games/utils/general apps instead of linking to the full app catalog and having to sort through.
at the min im just using one of the main pages thats full of games and it looks untidy so id like to sort it out
cheers
Touch the screen for a prolonged period of time and it should pop up a menu with "folders" in it
As above or get Smart Shortcuts from the market....
or search for apps organizer in the market, this allows you to create folder and add any app you want to them. from there you can use these folders as widgets
there's this "folderorganizer" in market...... lite is free, but pay for full features...

In your app drawer? not possible (yet) as far as I know
On your homescreens? Android does that natively, no need for an app to make a folder for your games.
What I do to keep things organized and keep my app drawer from looking like a scrapyard of apps is I make folders for stuff (right now I just have tools and games) then I hide all the apps in those folders, as well as any other apps I don't need to see in my drawer (like chrome-to-phone, its a one time setup). I use LauncherPro which lets you hide apps in the drawer.
best solution I've found is an app called apps orginaizer - best app management tool out there imho. Does exactly what you're looking for.
Ok maybe this will be better looking for a app so I don't see so many when I bring up apps I rather see a folder with all games in there not see 5 games when I hit home than bring up apps that's where I want to see the folders

Application folder for SGS.

I am looking for the application which can list my applications into different folders, like iPhone.
Tried several applications, please help
Hi, try GO LAUNCHER , free from market.
A good alternative launcher with folder option for the apps, you can create folder like Iphone.
bye!
Theres also several folder apps in market..
Using Folder organizer my self, paid ver tho.. Free one only gives you a minute now :/
This is only on your homescreens tho..
i think go launcher will make folders in app drawer to?
Otherwise, Ex launcher categorize apps to different app drawers by choice
Thanks a lot both of you.

[Q] Launch apps that are not in the app drawer

Some apps, like filemanager.apk or videoplayer.apk, are not shown in the app drawer ,is there a way to launch them?
Which launcher are you using?
If they show up under application manager, sometimes you can link them to a shortcut using "Bettercut".
I don't use a launcher and I can't link them with bettercut
Well this is more of a work-around but how about installing an alternative file manager like Adao File Manager? That one should definitely show up in the app drawer
Wouldn't know of a video player, though.
That was my point, NOT to install more apps when there are already installed
Android being Linux can I start an app from terminal? What is the command?

Hidden apps Write On pdf and Hancom Office

The apps come preinstalled on the device. For instance my question is can I solely use write on pdf when selecting it as a default application to open pdf files? There are no app drawer icons for either of these programs.
Better yet, is there a way to make these programs visible? Or do they just essentially run when a file type calls for them
if there hidden... how do you know if they are there? how do we come to that conclusion?
Well you can see them ONLY when you try to open one of their specific file types. Try opening a pdf and you will see write on pdf as an option. But look on uour app drawer and its nowhere to be found. Im juat curious if there is a way to actually have the icon in your app drawer
