Hello, I'm currently using Laucher Pro and I really like it, but I'd like to know if there is some way to organize my homescreen in folders (for example, a folder for games, another for apps, etc), like Iphone does...
Thanks in advance
Try SiMi

I'm looking for an app icon widget for Sense that has the following properties....I have tried what feels like dozens but there are so many I simply can't try them all.
Ability to hide specific apps that I don't want displayed (so, a blacklist not a whitelist)
No text labels
Ability to be clear or at least mostly clear (see the wallpaper behind it)
Scrollable!
Preferred 5 column grid but not absolutely necessary
The closest I've found is the Folder organizer widget, but it doesn't seem to refresh the apps list ever so anytime I add a new app I have to recreate the widget again. Also, the scrollable function only works in third party launchers (not Sense). I have tried Launcher Pro and ADW but not a huge fan.

You have to remember that sense is closed source, so it can only do so much. Most widgets that I've found have extra functions for 3rd party launchers such as the ones you've listed.
If you want to hid or get rid of apps, the only way to do that is to hack-uninstall the apps (from what I've been reading around here). Not sure about being "clear", could you be more clear with that? I'm guessing you want transparent widgets?
You can use Desktop Visualizer to help you with your hidden text labels. I use that in combination with folder organizer and launcher pro. Launcher Pro is pretty well designed IMO. It does what sense does, plus more and there's a lot of widgets that seem to support it. You should take a look at the Launcher Pro screenshots created here, there's a lot of excellent customization that I believe will meet your demand. It's possible that you haven't found the look you want that will be efficient for you.

Thanks for your thoughts. Does LauncherPro have scrollable email and agenda widgets like Sense? (I know it has messenger although I don't love the implementation...)
I love reading the little blurbs on the scrollable widget from the stock HTC Newsfeed widget, but I got Launcher Pro and whatnot recently I started to use launcher pro+, bought a bunch of apps and widgets and made it all pretty, but I can't seem to find a solid RSS type widget similar to the HTC one, I loved that one!
I was wondering if there's a way to bring it over to Launcher Pro or if there was a good alternative to it?
Is it possible?
like most people i love the new folder system that ICS has, but i'd like to be able to choose the icons for the folders.
i know folder organizer and smart shortcuts can do the job, but i love the look and feel of the stock folders, so i prefer to use those.
i tried desktop visualizer but folder did not come up as an option. also did a quick search and found nothing specific.
*edit* on the stock launcher as well.
Adw ex has this feature
Sent from my Google phone
forgot to add that. stock launcher. i've used adwex, was staff on launcher pro and used go launcher. IMO the stock ICS launcher is better than all of them.
And if theres someway to get custom icons for the folders then it'll be perfect for me.
really? nobody in 12 hours? not one person has figured out how to get this to work?
I'm fairly new to zooper and am using nova prime. I use folders to make things tidy, while at the same time having access to all of my frequently used apps. I am wondering if it is possible, and if so, how would I create a widget (I want to create a text widget with transparency) that links or is the cover to a folder. Is this possible?
Thanks much and great app..

I'm also using Nova and still haven't been able to figure this out. In the mean time, I use simi widget but I would like to have Zooper support folders on its own. I can create them in the app drawer, but Zooper doesn't recognize them. Did you ever find a solution to this, or are you just using a third party app?
I was never able to get this to work with Nova. I also tried many of the other popular launchers including Apex, ADW, and Smart Launcher, but none of them worked either. What is required is a launcher that allows creation of a shortcut to a folder or group or something. To date, I've only found two launchers that do this: Themer and Lightning Launcher. Both are good, but for me, I really like the amount of configurability of Lightning Launcher. If you put in the time to work with it and combine it with Zooper, many of the "effects" that Themer tries to simulate, such as slide out drawers which have to be done with multiple screens a lot of widget duplication, can actually be made truly functional in Lightning Launcher. Check here to see a great example of this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/themer/zooper-templates/one-theme-t2790386
I'm new to making widgets with Zooper, and I was wondering if it was possible to make a widget with a hotspot that acts as a launcher folder. So if I were to tap the hotspot, it would open just like a folder full of apps on my homescreen. I'm using Nova Prime as my launcher.
I know I can do a regular folder on top of a widget with overlay, but that's not what I'm looking to do here. Is this possible?

You can use Popup Widget from play store to achieve this.
I'll look into that. Thank you.
