You would probably have to find an app or a different launcher to do it, i have looked all though this rom and found nothing to create folders outside of the stacked folders on the homepage

Drag an icon of an app onto the top of another icon and a folder will automatically be created.

Yeah, why don't you re-read the question.....
EDIT: I devoured the Trebuchet v0.1 (CM9 default launcher) in and out, but can't find a way to create tabs or manage tabs in app drawer. Currently I have around 270 apps and games on my phone, so I need the feature badly! I finally gave up and purchased the Nova Launcher Prime for $5; it's the best launcher ever, it got everything I wanted.
For the free alternative, try ADW Launcher. ADW has been updated to match the look and feel of ICS, and although it's not as smooth as Nova, it DOES HAVE folders and custom tabs in app drawer. Cheers.

[Solved]Where is phone dock icon?

I have been using 7zip to replace icons for my docked apps. The only one that has eluded me so far is the phone icon. I found the stock green phone icon in res\drawable and replaced it but it did not change on the app or dock. Usually the icon for others was in res\drawable-hdpi. Soooo my question is where the heck is the one I need to change. Thanks.
I believe its in dialertabactivity.apk
Thats where it takes the icon from

Now, any idea where that default apps icon is stored? The white 16 square rectangle that Zeam, launcher and LP use? Is it in Framework-res? I can't find it in Zeam so think it is in the system somewhere. Thanks.

What launcher are you using? It is in the laucher. I use adwex, one of its features is the ability to change the icons....I change them all the time.

Zeam. It's not in the drawable-hdpi where I found all my other icons for apps.
The way I do it sometimes it just open the apk with 7zip, the take the res folder and drag it to the desktop, or whatever, open it in windows, and change the view to large icons, then you can look at all the images in the apk and find what you want.

Yeah, that is what I have been doing, but Zeam has so many drawables... I guess I have no choice but to look at them all. Really though the apps icon was a system default a lot of launchers used.
Got it! Had a wierd name action_apps_grid or something like that. Thanks for the help. I have made my phone my own now...

[Q] noob question about launchers and app organization

Hello all. I've been lurking on the forum for a bit over a month now while trying to learn as much as i could about android and the epic4g. It's my first android phone and first experience with android.
That being said, i have had experience with ios devices (i own an ipod touch 4g and ipad2) and jailbroken apps like folderenhancer, and prior to going to android i've exclusively owned symbian devices.
For specs, I'm currently running LauncherPro Plus as my launcher on the genocide 2.0 kernel with the Syndicate Rom Frozen v1.2 rom, rooted of course.
What i'm wondering though, is if there is some way to create folders and nest folders to better organize all of the applications i have on the epic. I've played around with Folder Organizer, and it seems okay, but it's not the most intuitive software, especially when you start nesting folders by using their labels.
I would preferably like it within the launcher, so that when i hit the application button (or whatever it is called, the button that pulls up the list of all installed apps), i could then click on my custom folders and quickly find what app i want. Having to flick and scroll through all my apps alphabetically isn't the most efficient method of organization (IMO).
Thank you!
I'm not sure about launcher pro, I used it for a few days but I like the Anarchy Launcher that came with the TrInItY rom when I was running DK28 so I've just always used that . You should, however, just be able to long press and make/ set a folder on whatever screen you are on and then open up your app drawer and find the app you want and long press on it and drop it in the folder you made. Don't know if that will help you accomplish what you wanted to do but that's what I did to group apps for easy access...

Tw4 meaning touchwiz? I haven't looked into that, but i will, thanks. Go Launcher i have seen before, and that was what i was going to try, based on how many themes and things were available for it.

Go Launcher EX does the folder organizing you want very well. You can even create folders in the app drawer and create shortcuts to each folder on the Home screen, etc.

I agree and use GO in this manner as well. And when u open app drawer and move apps in folders, if that folder also has a shortcut to homescreen it will have the new added app as well. I had launcher pro come on my rom as well but removed it for GO instead bc I like the folder setup way better

Touchwiz calendar widget?

Anyone has the apk for the calendar widget that's included with the Sprint SGSIIET4G? I'm referring to the one where it shows the monthly view on the upper half of the screen and the most recent event on the bottom half of the screen.
Even with TW launcher running, I can't seem to find it listed on the widgets list. Thanks in advance!
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II Epic Touch 4G WTF BBQ
Should be the Email Widget in system -> app. The widget in the lists is named "Month", so it's a bit misleading. If you still don't have it, I'll rip the apk and odex for you.
Edit, added it for reference.

Do I unzip this to /system/app/ ??? I did that and when I tried ti install the .apk, it says it can't install. After unzipping, I also went to my widgets list and the MONTH widget does not show up either.

OK, I'm not entirely sure, because I usually delete the stock stuff and don't reinstall it. I don't know if this will work, but go to your home screen, Menu-> Settings -> Applications and check "Unknown Sources", then try installing the widget from data/app, or just the SD card.

Then that requires editing of the launcher apk which can be found in /system/app/ its called touchwiz30launcher.apk
Give me the specific icon pack you'd like to use, and I can recompile it with the new icons and upload a flashable version for you.

Thanks, but i think that i dont say correctly (my english is no t perfect sorry) i would like for example, change de browser, for chrome, i want to move that icons (Phone, Messages, Browser). sorry for not be clear :/ i still need to practice my english
So you want the browser icon to be a chrome icon? Yes. Just tell him what icons you want. What color, what "pack". Do you want stock Jelly Bean Icons?

no the icon, i mean rearrange (i think thats the word ) instead of having stock browser there, put the chrome (no icon, i mean launch chrome instead of stock browser for example)
Long press on the icon and drag it. If I'm understanding you correctly.
Edit: I forgot that it was different in twlauncher.
1. Open app drawer
2. Menu -> edit
3. Drag chrome over top of the web icon, it should replace.
4. Hit back until you get to the home screen. (Home will undo your changes).

I've been looking to do this myself, but I'm a bit freaked out to try doing so. Would you be willing to offer me the same thing?
I'm running Hyperdrive RLS6 on a Galaxy S4. I paid and downloaded the "Future Blue" icon pack and have been changing one icon at a time with the free Icon Changer, but it's a huge pain and extremely time consuming.

[Q] Apex Launcher

Hi Everyone!
Just upgraded to the Optimus G and lovi it.
I am trying to create a shortcut on the home screen to open a folder that will contains link to apps (like all imaging, gallery camera, picasa that kind of stuff). Apex created on for google and it is exactly what i am looking for except for the app part
Any suggestions?
Thanks
J
I'm not sure if there's a way for the app drawer to have folders in Apex, but on your home screens all that you should have to do is drag your apps on top of each other and it will make a folder for you. Then, there are some folder options in the Apex settings for how you want it to look.

You need the pro version of apex to have folders in the app drawer, the apex menu adds the option "create folder".

On the drawer...tap that three vertical dot on the top right corner. There's "create folder" option. When chosen, you'll be directed to the list of apps. Check an apps you want to be in that folder. Can be renamed after.
