I have 4 folders on my homescreen.. Games, Tools, Markets and Adult..
I would like to lock my Adult folder since my kids are starting to go thru my phone to play games..
I dont want to lock each app, since I can hide them from the app drawer.. I just want to lock the folder on the homescreen.
is there any app that can lock the folder or a folder app that will allow me to lock a folder??
wow... 106 views and not one answer...

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.
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.

Did anyone figure out how to do this? I would really like to do this on my Inc
there are a few apps in the market that do this already
i use apps organizer
i blv app mate is another
thanks but I'm really just looking for how the MIUI folders look
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 ..

It must have been added recently because I swear it wasn't possible before..

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.

I have full stock JB 4.1.1 and I am having this strange issue: when I try to move an app icon from the app drawer into a folder on my home screen, I cannot: dragging the icon on the folder simply make all folders move around.

yes if I try again sometimes it works while sometimes I need to try 3 4 5 times...
just wondering if i'm the only one
not normal though
Place app on the desired screen first. Double tap on an open area on that screen. Now drag the app into the folder.
I've noticed that folders and icon movement depends on how fast you drag the icon on top of each other

Its finnicky but you definitely can drag straight out of the app drawer into a folder. Just gotta move it in there quickly otherwise the phone will move the folder out of the way.

Is the folder full? I think you can only have 16 apps in a folder. If the folder is "full" then it will just move around if you try to put another app into it.
That's a new "feature" in Jellybean. A new mini-game called "chase the folder"
I moved my apps to my SD card to free up space on the phone. All the icons for the apps I moved are now greyed out with a sd card next to them. Is there a quick fix to restore them without moving the apps back?
Any ideas?

Can you see the moved apps in the app drawer? Could it be as simple as deleting the shortcut icon and then putting the new shortcut icon back from the app drawer?

Haven't tried that. If that works I'll definitely be clicking the thanks since it never crossed my mind to try it.
