Is there an app that I can use to have folders inside launcher pro's app drawer, coz I want to group my apps and its a bit of a pain to look for it when your app list is growing on a regular basis.
I personally use folder organizer. it doesn't put folders within the app drawer but all you have to do is click on the app to access the folders. you can customize the folders and such. you can also put the folders as widgets onto your homescreen.

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

Using Folder organizer my self, paid ver tho.. Free one only gives you a minute now :/
This is only on your homescreens tho..

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

Are there any folder / widgets that you can put application shortcuts into that you can scroll? Maybe on a 1x4 or 4x1 grid, but instead of being limited to the 4 apps in that space, you can scroll up and down or left and right to access more apps. Something that doesn't require opening the folder, so you can just flip through things as you go.
Think PS3 UI or PSP UI... only not as complicated. Static folders...
Must work on Nexus 7
Folder organizer does this and more. I use ssLancher which has those neat folders that you can drag the apps out from in any shape. Not for everbody, I guess.
