Hello guys,
i wanted to ask, whether it is possible to make folders in menu of the SE home launcher. i am not talking about making folder on home screen, in the menu just like tw4.5, ios, dxhome...
if not, which launcher would u suggest?

There are plenty of alternative launchers in the market. Feel free to use GOOGLE to search through.

yea i know, and am using go laucher ex for time being but its not the same thing. se home is fast, sleek and clean. if i could add folder to prevent the launcher getting too crowded, it would be the the perfect home launcher, for me at least
thanks for answering though
Not sure what you are exactly after but what I did is created a folder on home screen, move all my applications to that folder and drag the folder to the bottom bar of the phone....
You can add folders to the pulldown, but if you're talking about a folder appearing when you press the menu button then I'm not aware of any mods for that. Folder organiser app lets you create a customized shortcut to a folder if you're looking to do that. Not sure that's what you're looking for, tho.

Hey all! Did some searching for a way to remove the names from the icons on the homescreens, but couldn't really find anything. I know launcher pro has a setting to remove the text but I was just wondering if there was a standalone way to do this. Any input? Muchas Gracias!

i don't think HTC Sense gives you that option.
It is an option in adw.Launcher
Yeah I figured that's still the only way. I like sense's widgets alot so its hard to switch to launcher pro or adw. Maybe someday... thanks for the reply!

Remember to add all apps as Widgets, not apps. That is the only way to remove the labels. That drove me nuts when I first tried this. Just long press | Widget | Folder Organizer Item | Apps. Then de-select the check box for labels and choose the app.
The only thing you can't remove labels from is actual 1x1 widgets (as opposed to apps) like Gmail Notifier or something like that. But most of those have their own option in settings to remove the label.

Pron on the homescreen? You are a brave man!!!!
No, but really, Launcher Pro or ADW and remove text below icons. Then use Folder Organizer and change the Icon. Folder Organizer >>>>> Bettercut.

Folder Organizer is awesome. But you don't have to have Launcher Pro or ADW. You can use Folder Organizer to remove the icons while using Sense.
add to home>widget>folder organizer item>apps>uncheck show text>click item
assumes you have already installed folder organizer
ADB launcher will give you this ability

yep, Folder Organizer FTW.
Alright so I ran into some trouble while changing my Icons. When I change the phone.apk Icon it works. But when I change the contacts app icon it changes the phone apps icon to the contacts icon. I dont know why. Im relatively new at this sooo any help would be much appreciated. thanks!
Are you editing directly (i.e. using APK Edit) or you using something like BetterCut/LauncherPro/ADW? I've never tried editing the icons directly, but I have changed my icons on my homescreens using these apps and have never have any issue. If you want a different launcher, ADW/LP will make changing the icon simple, BetterCut can be used with Sense to achieve a similar effect
Ah I was editing directly.

Yea, I very much suggest using launcherpro, it's as easy as holding down your finger on the homescreen, selecting application and then choosing an app. When it opens the text editor, just click on the actual icon to change it. I keep a special folder called "My Icons" on my sd so it's always in my gallery for use.

Hey I had no clue launcher pro could do that, I've been using folder organizer for all that stuff. Now I have one less program installed taking up resources, thanks.

FYI LauncherPro/ADW cannot change the icons for folders, just for apps, you're still going to need Folder Organizer for changing folder icons
EDIT: At least the free versions can't

Both paid and free cant.
Does anyone know if in the GO launcher app drawer its possible to have blank spaces on each page of the app drawer...? I like to organise my apps by category on different pages. It's possible to have less than the standard 16 apps on one page in the default samsung application organiser. and in iOS which what I've made the move from... so I really hope it's possible in GO launcher too!
Thanks

Much easier to just create folders dude.
Games
Tools
Then the rest of the samsung and ROM garbage just in the main draw
I have another question about Go Launcher EX, which i thougt i could ask here.
Can you remove the top of the app drawer? By that i mean the: All-Recent-Running
I love Go Launcher but the top of the appdrawer is just ruining the sweet look

Yeah I do have folders, but I still split them up... eg. I'd have a page for games with folders called card games, sports games etc. and then a separate page for all work related apps, news apps etc
I guess I'm just trying to be compulsively organised!
Would love list view. Possible?

Also wondering here.
Anyone with solution, please chime in
i know i can use smart shortcuts or folder organizer, but personally i prefer the layout and style of the ICS folder, but i'd like to be able to put a custom icon on them.
i've been desperately searching the market without any luck, so i was hoping maybe someone here would have some ideas.

I would start out by taking a look at systemui or the framework.

yeah but that will do EVERY folder. i want to be able to have one icon on one folder and another on another folder. not the same icon on every single folder.
For example, games folder has games icon, media folder has media icon.
Mmm that sounds pretty tricky, good luck with that one
i figured as much since i haven't been able to find anything. guess all i can do is wait for the folder organizer dev, or some other to update their apps to the ICS folders.
I have many applications and games and this can be kinda messy in the applications menu. Is there anyway to organize them into individual folders or perhaps at least arrange them manually instead of sorting them alphabetically or by date? The menu>edit tabs also seems to not be working as all i see is a blank screen with the top saying press and hold icons to rearrange.
You would need to replace the Sense "Rosie" launcher with a third party one to get that, I think. The app drawer is part of the launcher and the only way to change its behaviour is to replace it.
Folder Organizer might help you. Mine is a paid version, but there is lite version for free.

You can drag one application icon over another and this will change it to folder. The folder can have 4*4, 16 icons. This was you can organise the apps in folders.
That's on the home screen, though. I think he was asking about folders in the app drawer.

I do not believe that this is possible in the app drawer without a specific app though.

.... sorry, was posted before.
Go Launcher EX kan do this.
Make folders in the App drawer.
HTC Sense can only make folders on the homescreen.
All of these options require it to overwrite or disable sense right?

Yup - Sense as in the launcher and widgets. You wouldn't lose the Sense apps like camera or contacts etc.
