Do anyone know of an app that will make it possible to creat folders on the homescreen where you can have different stuff in, like one for puzzle games, actions games etc.
And anyone know of an app that keeps track of how much data you have send/recived so I can keep track of when I reach the limit im paying for ?
I dont know if u can create folders on your homescreen.
about the 3g traffic, i recommend 3g watchdog. u can download it from the market. it monitors your traffic

Yes.... Been using this method since day one.
I have one page solely devoted to Folders.
you can use App Organiser (free from Market), its more customisable and powerful than the standard folders. basically you can label your apps as certain category (or even more than 1 category), then you create a shortcut for that category. when you click on it, it opens up like a normal folder. besides this, another advantage over standard folders is you can customise the icon.
App Organiser
. . . and it also allows you to export and import the current settings. Very handy incase of format and re-install of firmware.
Check it out at http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.google.code.appsorganizer
Is there an app that can do the similar, but in the application menu? (not on the home screen)

I just downloaded and installed folder Organizer lite, which is a tool that offers nicer folders that one can have on their Homescreen. The idea is to have all your organized apps in one folder than having them spread out over the homescreen.
For Example: Games app in one Folder and Utilties in another. Less apps on the homescreen. But Folder Organizer is only a lite version and I cannot edit apps into the folder unless I purchase a full version. now this is where the problem lies. 'The buy' is not available in Sweden(which is soooo stupid); so my question is can someone please tell me of another app or another place that I can get this full version?

Thank you. I'll take a look at it. I hope it has nice folder icons

Yes, I thik so but the folder Icons are not that great. They are just plain.

Just Tried App Mate and it does the job effectively. Thanks whiskeybro.
XIAfbk, I checked out the link you posted and it looks to be the same as Folder Organizer. Does it work right out of the box or do you have to pay to to edit the folder?
I use smart shortcuts
Easy to use and edit...

Hi,
I've been searching for days with no solution.
I'm looking for a way to create folders of shortcuts, and sub folders within it. Target is to place those folders on the home screen.
For example, apps organizer, can create games/apps/system etc. folders and so, but I wish to create sub folders: I have about 100 games or so. I wish to categorize it not only as games but as games/puzzle, games/arcade games/action and so on.
Didn't find any app that is able to do that.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Amir.
Did you already tried Folder Organizer, afaik it should do what you need and it's made by the same author of "app organizer"

Yes I did. As fa as I know, it can create only 1 level of groups... not any sub levels (group within a group).
It depends if you are looking for a free solution or if you want to pay something, I have the paid version and I've tested right now that you can put whatever you want in a folder and also nested folders, it's very flexible
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Yes, I'm willing to pay, but I didn't see such an option, in the full version.
Are you sure I'm able to create nested folders in the full version?
Full version is very powerful. Imho its WAY too powerful How about you buy it and try it out for 24-48hours and return it if you don't like it. Thats the beauty of the google market
I'm looking for an app that I can use to easily organize my apps on miui since it has no app drawer. I had something in mind like an app that anytime you downloaded an app it would ask you what folder you wanted the app to be placed in. Anything out there that automatically does this or something similar?
create folders and store them in there

Best bet is going to be just moving it to the designated folder be it games, utilities, social media/network etc etc. If their isnt a program that does what you want then most likely you will have to make it yourself or find someone who can make it and ask them, or simply just leave it as is and be happy.
Thats my 2 cents sorry if i didnt help you much.
I use LauncherPro. Seems to work nicely.
I believe Folder Organizer might be what you're looking for, OP. I use it in combination with LauncherPro.
If you like apps to be in alphabetical order in touchwiz, download 'appzorter' from the market. Really good app! Now all my icons are sorted nicely
Free.
Oh thank you ^^
Indeed a nice utility.
But does anyone know how to rename a folder in the Applications section of TouchWiz ?
I like that the sorter can place folders first, but when I create folders they are named Folder 1, Folder 2 ,etc. Cannot seem to find how to rename them.

BTW, is there such a thing as a TouchWiz 4 for Sii user manual ?
Thanks! Can I check whether the apps that came with the phone remain unsorted while those which we download get sorted?

Good question! It seems to sort every app in one batch. So downloaded and phone apps will be jumbled up. Unless you make a folder with all your downloaded apps and sort them that way. The app will also sort apps in folders.
Thanks! Oddly, it doesn't behave that way for me. The Samsung/Galaxy apps are sorted as one batch and the downloaded ones as another. I did clear the TWLauncher data before sorting. Maybe I'm missing something?

I'm currently trying to fix that behavior. Samsung has added "default_sort" for preinstalled apps in 2.3.4, that causes wrong sorting in some cases (gaps on each page, wrong order, etc). I'll try to fix that issue in the upcoming update.
Do you know how to sort alphabetical order only apps which are in folders?
Start AppZorter and press the menu button
I did. I choose only "Folder contents-Sort folder contests" but it also re-order other apps too (which aren't in folders). Here are screnshots of page 1&2. I only want to sort page 2 (folders page).
So I have found a new launcher that has great potential. Kind of reminds me of Wisbar Desktop from my WM days as you can put items anywhere on the screen and they are not locked into a grid like every other launcher. Besides swiping your pages side to side, you can also scroll down on each page like WP7.
Has lots customizations and the developer is extremely responses. Received a email back from him within 15 minutes after contacting him. Still has some bugs and he is aware of them and is constantly working on it.
I am running my screen at 720p and I totally recommend that as you can get lots on your screen!
It is free as well!
SSLauncher:
https://market.android.com/details?...t#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5zcy5sYXVuY2hlciJd
Here is a screen shot for ya...
I have been using this for a few days now and have to agree...coolest launcher I have used so far. This is as cool and "revolutionary" as when ADW and Launcher Pro came out for the first time.
From the market page:

I would need an explanation of why it needs permissions to make phone calls without my intervention before I can install it. I might be paranoid here, but that whole "without my intervention" bugs me.
I'll try this out but how do you get the magazine look for the page turn
Its smooth but I don't like how icons are not applied on a grid. Everything is free-standing and I can't get anything to align. Its really bothering me.

because its a launcher/app. If you were to set a contacts icon on the screen for direct dial or something like that, you would not be able to make a call because you didn't want that permission.
I'm pretty sure every launcher needs that permission.
I can't believe I didn't think of that. I don't add contact shortcuts, but it does make sense. I think I'll go download it now.

Running CM7.
Haven't had a single crash yet.
I'm a complete ADWEX honk, always have been, but I must say that I really, really, like this launcher. The page-turning anims are simple but sick, IMHO, and it's such a lightweight launcher in general, I think I'm gonna keep this one for a while....
Very nice.

The developer is aware of the issues and is currently working on fixing them. I run into problems editing pages after I add a lot of items on the homepage.
Totally agree this can be the best launcher to date with as little more work.
If you haven't tried yet, drag items to the bottom of the screen as fat as can go and you will see you can then scroll the page down. There are probably so many cool things to do in the launcher. If anyone figures some tricks out, post it up!
has anyone figured out how to get a calendar widget to work?
Android agenda widget or any other full screen calendar widget doesn't want to work
so far, that's the only issue I have..really cool stuff!
thanks!

Simple Calendar widget works fine. Just do not choose the scroll option in the widget. Any widget that scrolls will not work.
thanks man, it was the "scrolling" option that was messing me up...
EDIT:
I have to say, once a couple small things work out, like sculling widgets, this launcher is going to be super hot...
Never saw anything so customizable as this launcher is..

Another cool trick I just noticed for lining up apps and widgets on the screen...
Hold down whatever you want to move. Then let your finger off of it to bring up the little menu that says edit, etc. Then either click the back button or touch somewhere else on the screen and it will leave your item highlighted. In cse you didn't know, at this point you can re-size your widget but if you move the whole widget around you will see red lines show up when it is lined up with other items near it making it simple to know where you are placing it.
It is kind of hard to explain but try and and you will understand what I am talking about....
Its pretty cool and has A LOT of potential.
pretty cool but could've been better
