using joshs perfect black 1.7 full... maybe this belongs in his rom thread but I am not sure if it is a general question. thanks in advance, just want to move folders and files I use the most to the top and put files in their correct folders and such.
Using a file explorer, navigate to "\windows\start menu\". Here, you can arrange the shortcuts into whichever folder you want.
To rearrange the order, it's more problematic. Open the Start Menu. If you tap and hold on an item, you'll get the option to "Move to top". So, if you systematically select icons to "move to top" you'll be able to get a layout that you want.

thanks! took a while but I got everything arranged how I want it!
I hope they come out with an "Arrange Icons" menu so you can just drag the items freely to organize them faster. It takes so long to arrange them in the desired order with the current way, but it's a start.
Hello. Coming from Touchwiz I like the ZenUI quite enough, but...
Is there a way to create folders (with a custom name) in the app drawer and put inside them the apps I do will, not based upon the approximate built-in categorization, which put almost all of them together ?
Stuff like AppZorter for TW would be sci-fi on this kind of UI, isn't it ?
Thanks for any trick
Easy, in the apps menu up on the right site, touch the edit option.

And how could I create custom folders, this way ?
I see the "smart folder" (automatic) option only, which isn't too smart, as I said above
Thanks
You have to choose edit and creat manually over posted.

Sorry but I can't get your point.
If I choose "Edit" in the top-right menu, the drawer automatically switches to "custom mode", with those self-distributed smart folders.
How could I create new custom folders or move apps between them ?
I can only rename the existing ones, but they stay as before and all the apps come back to them soon
Thank you
Ok, I'm answering myself if someone else could be interested in the OP question solution:
to create a custom folder, both on the home or drawer (edit mode) layers, you should drag an app icon above another: a folder containing both of them would be created.
Then you can edit/change the folder name tapping over it
Done.
Thanks for putting on right way
as a lot of kindle users with third-party launchers have noticed you cant keep a wallpaper (you can set on temporarily) but it doesn't stay. WARNING IF DONE MORE THAN ONE THIS WILL BRICK YOUR FIRST GEN KINDLE
first chose your wallpaper with your launcher. Then, go into es file explorer You will need to navigate the directories as follows:
data/data/com.android.settings/files
Inside the files directory, long tap wallpaper and select Properties.
Select the Change button.
Uncheck the two checkboxes that are checked under the write column.
Prior to the 8.1 update, I was able to download a whole song from my drive, then long press on the file, press on the tp right three blue buttons, select "Move to", which I was then able to select Pixel 2, which would then take me to a handful of file folders (included Alarms, Ringtones, Data, etc.). I would select the Ringtone folder. I would then exit and open my ringtones and the full song would be listed.
Now with the 8.1 update. The Pixel 2 option no longer is listed when trying to move or copy the song...what gives?!
Anyone know of another way, without having to download an app or connecting to a computer?

How about using the download option then moving the file?

Thanks, I figured it out...the following are steps I took to add a full song/s to ringtones:
1. Download mp3 file (song/recording) to your Pixel 2 XL
2. Open the Downloads app and verify that your file downloaded and can be played
3. Once you verify file downloaded and is playable, exit the file, taking you back to the Downloads list page
4. Tap at the top right 3 white bullet points and the following pop up should display:
New window
New Folder
Select all
Show internal storage
5. Tap on Show internal storage, which will then cause the popup to dissapear
6. Now long press the file, which will cause the file to be highlighted, marked as 1 selected, and giving you the option on the top right corner
to Share (icon), Trash (icon), and now 3 black bullet points,
7. Tap on the black bullet points, the following pop up should appear:
Open with
Select all
Copy to...
Move to...
Compress
Rename
8. You now can choose to either Copy to... or Move to... I chose "Copy to" (not sure if it makes a difference in storage space if either Copy to
or Move to is chosen). Pop up will disappear, but now the option to CANCEL or COPY (highlighted) will pop up at the bottom right.
9. Do NOT press COPY yet. Instead, top left corner press the 3 horizontal white lines, following pop up should appear:
Downloads
Pixel 2 XL
Drive (I have two of these because both personal and work are linked to my phone)
10. Tap Pixel 2 XL
11. Now Pixel 2 XL Files/Folders (Alarms, Android, data, DCIM, etc.) should be on the screen (the CANCEL or COPY options should continue to
be visible at the bottom right)
12. Choose Ringtones, and do not be surprised that when selected this folder is empty, it just is...unless you downloaded ringtones prior to
the update, maybe
13. NOW press the highlighted COPY, this will then take you back to Downloads screen, which you may close at this time
14. At this time tap on your Phone icon in order to make a call
15. Top right corner you should see 3 dark bullet points, tap on those points, and select Settings from the 3 options that it gives you
16. In Settings, select Sounds and vibration
17. Under Sounds and vibrations, select Phone ringtone
18. Now your whole list of Phone ringtones is displayed allowing you the option of selecting ringtones, which should now include the one
you just added, following the steps provided. Select your ringtone and press SAVE
19. You are done!
Again, probably too many steps...but it did what I needed it to do. Now I have a full song as a ringtone. You could do the same for alarms, but don't. Alarms actually allows you to add a new alarm by scrolling up and pressing tapping + Add new option in your clock app, when choosing sound. Don't understand why they don't have this simple option in Ringtones!
I haven't tried it with an entire song, but I just edit a song file to make a ringtone or notification, and move it to the sdcard > media > ringtone or notification folder, then reboot and all my newly added files are available for selection.
More specifically:
Once your file is in the download folder, long press > select copy (two pieces of paper on top of each other at top of screen) > hit back button > navigate to the ringtone or notification folder in sdcard > Media, then hit the clipboard / copy here icon

Copy to makes a duplicate. So you now have the file in downloads and ringtones folders. I would do move. I thought you listed too many steps at first but you literally went through every tap needed. LOL.
I figured that if anyone out there was like me, every single tap would be appreciated. Lol!

Thanks for the Move to tip! I figured that if there was anyone like me dealing with the same question, every tap would be appreciated. Lol!!!
Plug phone into laptop
Pull down notification area and change USB to transfer files
Open file manager on computer and copy MP3 FIle
Paste MP3 File into Phone Notification/Ringtone folder
File should be immediately available for using as ringtone/notification.
Hi all!
I have downloaded some ringtones from the internet.
I can see them in the downloaded part of the files app but I am not able to select them as ringtones because they don't show up in the phone ringtone category of -
sound in settings.
Basically how do I set a ringtone as my ringtone when I have downloaded it externally.
Cheers

Can you move them to the Ringtones folder with a file file manager? Are you stock or rooted?

Then you'll likely need a ringtone picker app like zedge if you can't move the files.
Can you move them via your pc?

I downloaded them from zedge only.
then I deleted the app as I do not trust it.
Isn't there a way to move them.
Use a file manager to create /sdcard/DCIM/Media/Notifications, then move the ringtone to that Notifications folder.
You can use the built in file manager app to do this.
1. Open the "Files" app
2. Tap the hamburger icon at top left, select Pixel 2 XL
3. Open DCIM folder
4. Tap the 3 dots at top right, tap New folder and name it Media
5. Open the Media folder you just created
6. Tap the 3 dots at top right, tap New folder and name it Notifications
7. Tap the hamburger icon a top left, select Downloads
8. Tap and hold the ringtone you want to move, then tap the 3 dots at top right and select Move
9. Tap the hamburger icon, select Pixel 2 XL > DCIM > Media > Notifications and tap Move
10. Reboot
Your ringtone should appear in the list of sounds.
