Like my title states...the one reason I love the MIUI rom is because of the folders. Is there any APK or any way we can get that on another rom? The MIUI rom has certain issues that I do not like to deal with. Thanks.
I believe astro file viewer allows you to classify your apps and make folders on your homescreens. It even allows you to pick the icons for each folder. It's free in the market.

Would there be a way to organize apps in different folders for example: spare parts, titanium backup, etc.... in a folder called ROOT. So you could be able to open the app drawer and see folders instead of a bunch of clutter and in each folder would open like another app drawer. Thanks in advance

another free option is app organizer. I think it is a little better then the free version of folder organizer but the paid folder organizer is by far the best.
Currently running urban regeneration and quick pic. Us it possible to eery remove gallery completely? If so, is that accomplished by using a file explorer?

I guess this question is sort of related to this so I'll ask it here. In Gallery is there any way that anyone knows of to NOT display every single folder that has an image in it? It's a little annoying going to the gallery and having folders for music album folders, certain apps, themes etc. I just want to see what in my DCIM folder and sub folders

In the folder you wish to hide, create a .nomedia file in it. That will hide the folder from appearing in gallery.
So I have root explorer, but where do I go to to delete Gallery?

I do that and it tells me,

I am running Random Rom Osprey, with EG22.

Awesome! Thanks so much for the help! I feel so empowered that I can now delete anything off my phone.
Do you agree that there is too much stuff pre-installed? And yes I am aware that this is fairly common ..

Isn't the bloatware uninstallable?
Some, but not all of the bloatware can be uninstalled. But you can set up folders in the app screen now and move all the uninstallable bloatware shortcuts there and tucked out of the way. Of course, if the mere idea that there's bloatware on the phone bothers you that much, you're going to have to root.
thanks for the folders tip, must be new to TW3.0

Open your app tray. Hit menu>edit. Then just drag and drop apps into the new folder box. It will then just create one icon called folder with all the apps you put in it.
cool thanks. Now I gotta figure out how to reorder the apps alphabetically in each folder
Wonder if anyone else is experiencing this...when my phone updates apps from the market, the app icon is saved as a picture in my gallery. Deleting it doesn't do anything to the app and it gets annoying when you update 20 apps at once. Any ideas or experience on how to stop this?
I am rooted and all roms I tried have this happening on them, so it can't be them.

I was wondering what those were... They seemed pretty harmless so I just ignored or deleted them.

The stock gallery sucks. Use "quickpic" and long press and! Click exclude and it won't show that folder anymore. Plus the quickpic app sets photots as wallpapers in higher quality.
Do any of you have app monster installed? I installed the app mentioned above and went to ignore the directory of the icon image....said it was found in appmonster, deleted it and problem is solved.

Just guessing, but could you have "Auto-add widgets" checked in Market settings? Maybe what you're seeing are icons for the widgets it creates.
You can navigate to the folder on your SDcard and create a blank file
".nomedia" and then remount your sdcard and those files will no longer display in the gallery works good for these you don't want easily found

I have been using Quickpic over Gallery for months now. It really is great. If I could set lockscreen wallpapers from it, Gallery would have been deleted a long time ago..edit..maybe you can set lockscreen wallpaper with Quickpic ..

Actually, I tried freezing Gallery and then the opinion to set Lockscreen wallpaper from Quickpic disappears...so can't delete Gallery! Damn

Seems like an odd issue. Do you have any icon packs installed or something like that? I know Gallery will create thumbnails for something like that. Have you checked to see what the name of the folder is that the icons are in?
If it's icons packs or for some reason a folder is being created with the thumbnails in it then just do the .nomedia thing and reboot (or cycle unmount/mount of the sdcard).
It was definetly app monster pro. Anytime I updated/downloaded a new app, it would save an image file of the app icon in its directory. I deleted app monster since I use titanium instead, problem solved.

Simi folder is great. The invisible option is cool because I like a clean desk top. .just look for it in the play store.

Do you mean a folder app in the literal sense (folders are usually built into the launcher you are using) or a file browser (estrongs is best - tons of features, a root explorer, dropbox integration, google drive integration, and more).

I second simi folder. Awesome app. It even supports folder in folder
I use Folder Organizer, free version is excellent, worth paying for the addional feature in the pay version.
Ive decided on Simi Folder. Its good even though it needs a drag & drop option
