Is there a app available that sorts the apps in the app drawer alphabetical? Launcher pro does this but I want to use touchwiz launcher.

BUMP
I need to do the same, I used ADW for a while because I preferred the drawer sorting. Touchwiz lets you manually move icons around, but when you've got a lot of apps it's a royal pain.
I switched to launcher pro yesterday and this app sorts your icons in the app viewer alphabetically.

You can always switch to "list view".....not quite esthetically as pleasing but sorted alphabetically....
Although it takes longer but it is much more customizable ~ from the Apps list, select Edit then click hold a shortcut and drag it to whichever page you want.
Eventually you end up with the Apps list not only alphabetical but in any order you wish.
I've grouped mine together relevant to their tasks.
i.e. All GPS, Games, Graphics, Utils, Programs, etc. etc.
"appzorter" downloadable from the market for free works fine to sort the apps alphabetically in the app drawer on touchwiz UI
Take a look at folder organizer, its wicked, you can create your own desktop folders and place whatever apps you want inside, can chose how apps are sorted, default is alpha'

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

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.

So im looking for a folder app with these features:
-Custom icon size/coulmns
-And so it hides apps I already put in a folder so it's easier to organize.
I tried simi folders app but didn't hide apps I already had in a folder. Go launcher does hide the apps tho but i dont like that launcher.
Any suggestions? Please?

What do you mean hide apps already in folder? When creating a different folder?

You could use Folder Organizer (the paid version). You get custom icons, but not a number of columns/rows. There is automatically a group called "Other Apps" - this groups all of the apps that aren't yet labelled. From the main screen you can go to labels > other apps, then assign labels to the apps inside the group. As the apps are labelled, the group gets smaller. There's also an option to receive a notification when a new app is installed. When you tap on the notification, it allows you to assign labels at that time. You can put folders in folders if you're super OCD like I am.
It doesn't have everything you asked for, but it's pretty awesome. There's a free version without custom icons for apps/shortcuts/bookmarks/contacts, but you still get custom icons for folders. I'd say try it out, if you want to buy the full version just export your settings from the free version & import them to the paid version.
EDIT: My spelling of labelled looks wrong, is it? "Labeled" looks even stranger though.
EDIT #2: While you can't specify columns/rows, there are multiple options for the look of the folder. You can also create a custom skin for the folder, with colors & transparency that you choose.
Ok thanks. And yes i meant when creating a new folder in don't want to see the other apps. So i dont have an app in multiple folders

Hi,
My previous device was Galaxy SII and after moving to Galaxy Nexus, there is one feature that I miss from the TouchWiz.
In the TouchWiz launcher, there is pagination in the App drawer, and I can click the dot to move to a particular page of apps. Its missing in the stock ui and I end up swiping pages to select a particular app. I know I can do a quick search, but this would be faster IMHO.
The Go launcher has this feature but I dont prefer it because I'll have to use their widgets and all, and last time I used, it was not really responsive.
Can anyone suggest an alternative with pagination support?
Thanks!
Not exactly what you're looking for but with Nova Prime you can have folders in the app drawer. I just categorize my apps in to 1/2 dozen or so folders & they are all accessible on the first tab in the app drawer.

I dont want to create app folders and curate them as I install more apps...I just need a fast way to open a specific page in the app drawer....like touching the third page dot, and I'll be in the third page, skipping second page.
I was wondering if there was a way to run a launcher other than TW but keep TW's style for applications rather than ICS's. I don't like having ALL apps in a complete list/grid. I like having multiple pages to organize specific apps to specific pages iOS/TW style and having a page for folders containing rarely used apps and other folders with apps never used (ie. settings; i use menu shortcut usually). I don't really like the hide apps way to do it. The themes I have come accross adw/nova launchers are usually the home screens...have I just not explored deep enough? TIA.

Thanks. I found folders in Nova launcher but is there a way to do a Customizeable Grid? TW offers your typical ABC grid, ABC list, and a Customizeable Grid. This allows me to put all my games onto a page, all my chats onto a page, all my groupon type apps onto a page, etc. Of course I could just put them into a folder but for semi frequently used apps, I want to just have pages customized with them.
My wondering is if fl16 laun her could rotate

If you use groups instead of folders it puts the apps on tabbed pages like the app/widget tabs
