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

Sort apps alphabetical.

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.

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'

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...

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.

HTC Desire Doubts ROMs

Hi!
Friends, I'm new to the forum and am looking for some ROM that has the option to hide icons, music, files, etc.
Smartphone see more and more as a personal computer, but always have a friend from work, personal friend, a family that wants to move out of curiosity on the smartphone. So look for ROMs that have the option to hide apps, photos, videos, music, files, or all that this smartphone. Example: You want to hide the game Angrybirds for a child to not see him and be done with the device's battery. The ROM would choose to hide the icon so it does not appear in the list of applications and only be accessed through an explorer.
Has anyone thought about it?
Does anyone know of a ROM that has this option?
Thanks,
Roka
Try look for an app on the market. I am sure there is something out there. I don't think (like 99% sure) that a rom doesn't include this. Have a look for an app.
Normally in cyanogenMOD there is an option to hide apps in the app drawer that you don't use often. They are not deleted but are hidden when you simply press app drawer, although they are only one click away from be seen.
CyanogenMod uses ADWLauncher not the default launcher by Google.
download adw launcher from the market. or flash cyanogen mod which comes with adw installed. open your app drawer and click menu. it will say create new catalog. create 1 then choose which apps u want in your hidden catalog

Placing apps according to their alphabets

Every time I unplug my phone from my pc I see that the order the apps are placed are changed, fx once an app which is located on page 3, next time it is moved to page 4 or it even changes it place with other apps on the same page.
Is there a way to organize the placement of apps by alphabet, so the installed apps/games are placed according to their alphabet?
I use Go Laucher Ex...
isn't it possible without a launcher?
most launchers can do this, but I don't think its possible to do this in stock touchwiz...
EDIT:
this one has it, but after flashing the launcher won't work, so problably because its for galaxy s, and not for more resolutions/sizes

Code:
alphabetical: Arrange the menu alphabetically. (Re-enter edit mode after moving an app into the dock fill in any hole in app spacing)
i think they move because you have some apps on sd, they cannot be usable if you have connected your phone to pc as mass storage
I always liked touchwiz' appearance but disliked no sorting in app drawer. Workaround? Use desktops to arrange launchers as desired. It's quicker to access the apps (; .
