Arrange programs into maps? - Desire General

Hey all,
I just got my new Desire today and already installed quite a few apps. Now I was wondering if it is possible to put like the games I into a separate map so I don't have to browse through all of my programs to find something, and it will look cleaner imo.
Thanks in advance,

Not sure what you mean by maps, but you can create folders and name them, so you could make one exclusively for games. Hold down on the home screen then add folder - you rename it by opening it up, then long-pressing on the title bar.

You are right I ment Folders. But if I do what you say I create a folder on my homescreen. But I would like to make folders into my app menu(to get there you have to press the little arrow on the left bottom side of your screen) is it possible to create folders there?

Hi,
That is what the home screens are for, and that is why there are 7 of them. I don't think the apps menu is editable.
I have one home screen for games, and a folder there too for the games that won't fit on the screen.

Apps organiser
Seems to be a great app for doing just this. I've just installed it. Searched "apps" in market and had to scroll down a fair bit to find it. Did not come up when i searched apps organiser".
Just realised that i should learn how to spell before searching for an item. " Apps Organizer" :-$

Thanks for the info! Ive just
downloaded apps organizer and set it up. put 2 folders on my homescreen(1 called apps and the other one games) and it works fantastic, so my problem is solved. thanks guys!!

[Q] Close folders?

Hey everyone,
Not sure if this is the place to post this since i guess its more of a general android question but I do have the evo so:
Is there anyway to auto-close folders? So once you open it and get what you want, it automatically closes? I realized it gets annoying to have to manually close the folders as soon as you exit out of an application. I tried searching but couldn't find any threads focused on it.
Thanks!,
Rip
Anyone?

French maps

Just a quick question guys. Noticed on my SD card, under maps it takes up.shot 1.5gb of space and 800mb of far is from French maps. Can I just delete these with no problem? Makes no sens to me having them on there.
Any of you already done so?

I guess it should be fine. I'd rather open the Locations app and delete the maps from there rather directly from a file manager, seeing how the Locations app can be picky some times.

[Q] Gallery Malfunction

Hello, I'm running Cynaogen Mod 7 RC 4 Gingerbread
I read a lot of comics so have them all in stock android gallery, I named them all so that they appear in order and all the folders are in order. Except when I go inside a folder all my comics are jumbled up. With start page somewhere in the middle.
I checked in Root Manager and they're in order except in the gallery which messes them up. Is there any way to fix this please thanks.
I use PerfectViewer. Works like a charm.
Thanks very much will try that.

Application Menu organizing

Hi,
I Have installed couple of apps. Most of them are installed on SD card. When I organize those in each page (like one page for photography, other for rooting and etc). Why do phone always mix up those after a restart? All my apps installed on my card are move to last pages.
I had this issue even before I root the phone. :-S

If you are on 2.3.2, I guess that's the SE launcher bug. Secondly I could think of that the launcher could get access to the application only after the SD Card scanning is completed. Hence it could be plugged in at last.
I guess that too, what I did to fix this is installing Go luncher.
Bonus: Folders inside application drawer and task manager. Sexy!

How to hide folders in gallery

I know there are apps like quickpic that do it, but the the new gallery is much better, so I hope there its a way around to hide folders in the new gallery

There's a QA forum separately, for future questions.
To answer to your question, place a ".nomedia" file on a desired folder containing the photos you want to hide using a file manager. It will hide photos from being indexed to phone thus making them unvisible in gallery.

Thnks fhilv....
Yeah but it's not practical to always do that,I was asking for some mod from a dev to enable such feature, also the share option in the new gallery is limited to certain apps, is there a way around to edit pictures from gallery with different apps like Photoshop touch
