Hey everyone,
Not sure if this is the place to post this since i guess its more of a general android question but I do have the evo so:
Is there anyway to auto-close folders? So once you open it and get what you want, it automatically closes? I realized it gets annoying to have to manually close the folders as soon as you exit out of an application. I tried searching but couldn't find any threads focused on it.
Thanks!,
Rip
Anyone?

Hey all,
I just got my new Desire today and already installed quite a few apps. Now I was wondering if it is possible to put like the games I into a separate map so I don't have to browse through all of my programs to find something, and it will look cleaner imo.
Thanks in advance,

Not sure what you mean by maps, but you can create folders and name them, so you could make one exclusively for games. Hold down on the home screen then add folder - you rename it by opening it up, then long-pressing on the title bar.

You are right I ment Folders. But if I do what you say I create a folder on my homescreen. But I would like to make folders into my app menu(to get there you have to press the little arrow on the left bottom side of your screen) is it possible to create folders there?

Hi,
That is what the home screens are for, and that is why there are 7 of them. I don't think the apps menu is editable.
I have one home screen for games, and a folder there too for the games that won't fit on the screen.

Apps organiser
Seems to be a great app for doing just this. I've just installed it. Searched "apps" in market and had to scroll down a fair bit to find it. Did not come up when i searched apps organiser".
Just realised that i should learn how to spell before searching for an item. " Apps Organizer" :-$
Thanks for the info! Ive just
downloaded apps organizer and set it up. put 2 folders on my homescreen(1 called apps and the other one games) and it works fantastic, so my problem is solved. thanks guys!!

My pal has a MyTouch 4G and he likes the way my contacts show up with the ability to navigate via the Alphabet on the right side. What are the chances of damaging his phone if I export my Contacts.apk and remove his internal Contacts to install my apk of Contacts on top of his phone? Will it be too much of a hassle and mess things up? Has anyone tried this?
It'll probably get force closes because I believe our contacts apk is tied in with touchwiz framework. All he can do is back up his apk and try it. If not he can restore it with root manager or a nandroid backup if he's rooted.l and has clockwork installed

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,
"Gallery3D.apk cannot be deleted because the files system is read only."
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.
Ok we'll im not a huge fan of the folders in ICS. The circles dont do it and the folders look like they've not had much though put into them.
I haven't rooted my device yet as i'm not sure how to and im reading some people are getting boot loop issues.
If anyone wants to help, feel free to post findings

Used it on my DHD.
Its not native so you can't drag and drop etc
hey i was wondering if anyone here has come across a app that will allow me to browse the files on my phone and drag and drop files from my computer on to my phone with out having to connect a usb to the computer, pretty much to sync wirelessly but to whatever specific folder i want on my phone . was playing around with Browsix which from what iv read should have that feature but i either havent been able to find out how it works or maybe it dosent have it at all.
Try the built in Samsung Kies Wireless app on your phone. It works quite well over the local wifi network.

Kies air. It's in your app drawer. I believe that's what you're looking for. Let's you navigate through everything on your phone wirelessly.

yea i just set it up and essentially thats what im looking for. but for example i have a folder with icons i wanna drop onto my phone. i have a folder for icons but i cant just drag that folder on to my phone through the kies browser and expect it to show up on my phone? when i click upload it only gives me the option to upload individual files not a whole folder. unless im not clicking the right option.
Try airdroid its a very nice app.

spot on man. i like how it gives you a desktop like window to play with. even lets you create folders on your phone and just import the files over. very very nice.
No problem bro, I love that app.

I just installed AirDroid, based on the recommendations, and partly because it uses port 8888 instead of 2121 that I'm using for another app.
One problem I'm seeing is that it doesn't load my Contacts. I get a yellow triangle and the message, "Failed with network error." This is on a Sprint E4GT running Calkulin's 2.7 if that matters.
I have used myphone explorer! It works great. I believe you can copy n sync files and folders from your pc to your phone. you can send sms through your phone from your pc keyboard. I was really impressed with it and it's almost a 5 star free program at the market.
