I was wondering if someone might be able to help me out.
I was in the APP window and I accidentally created a folder. The folder now sits with all my other apps and I can't figure out how to delete it.
Can anyone point me to how I can get rid of it?
I am not rooted, in case that helps to know.
Try pressing on the folder (tap and hold) for a second or two. You'll see three icons appear at the top of your screen, the rightmost looks like a trash can; drag your folder to this trash can.

Thanks. I tried that earlier and it acts much like the trash can for your home screen and widgets. It doesn't actually the delete the folder from the APP screens.
Any other ideas?
Ah, my apologies. I should have paid more attention when reading your post.
When you're in the Apps screen hit the "Menu" button (haptic button left of the home button) and from there select "Edit". You'll then be able to drag the folder from the Apps screen to the trash can at the top of the display. Hit the "Save" and you'll be good to go.

It worked! Thanks so much. I was starting to think I'd just be stuck with it. Thanks again, really appreciate it!
Glad I could help!

Using Adw launcher, when you push the menu button, where is the notification tab? There is an edit tab now. I downloaded the one from the market, but I could've swore the notification tab was there before. Is it maybe a newer version, or am I just missing something?

I believe it is gone. My ADW no longer has it.
Hmmm, I guess ill try to find an older version? I know you can swipe down on the top of the screen, but its easier to just push the tab. Thanks for confirming.

I would do a Google search to see if there are any old articles with a download link.

There are several other functions you could do like set the home button to go to home page and if on home page drop down notification screen or to just drop down notification screen. You can also use the swype up or down function to access the notificaion screen. I have my home button set to drop it down but nine out of ten times i just drag the notification down and because i gott get my finger up there anyway lol I know its a stretch.
i personally cannot find the option to add more home screens in ADW launcher version 1.1.3 . Don't know why it's gone. The option used to be there. Does anyone else know why i can't change it from 5 screens to whatever i want any more?
Hit menu, then the edit button, then click on one of the green plus signs. That's what I did, and I have 7 screens now.

Does anyone know if there's a way to change the dock icons on TW4? I could've swore that I saw it in one of the review videos but can't figure it out. Thanks in advance.

1) Click on the app drawer
2) Press the menu capacitive button
3) Press edit
4) Find the icon you want in your dock, press and hold as you drag it over the icon you wish to replace (in the dock).
5) Press the back capacitive button
You cannot change the app drawer icon but you can change the other 3.
Also to when you do that it will change your app sorting. To go back to alphabetically sorted hit menu in the app list and hit "view type"

Just starting using my New Epic 4G Touch .... Thank You !!! Now I can put the Handcent icon there ...
Does anyone else find this annoying? If you put apps in a folder on the home screen and open one of those apps, when you push the home button, it will bring you to that opened folder view and not the home screen, so you essentially have to push the home screen twice, but you can't do that too fast or else it will bring up the s-voice.
Is there a setting I'm missing to disable this?

Turn of s-voice. In its options
Use different launcher to change folder close behavior.
Tap anywere outside the folder while on home screen to close folder.

Thanks for the thoughts, but none if those are really what I'm looking for.
I know about touching outside of a folder, but that is still another step(which is really what this whole rant is about), i would like to not have to turn s-voice off and more so not have to double click to get home, I'm trying to find a solution to the stock UI of TW, thanks again though.

I have a folder in my homescreen thst I store google maps, navigation, and mapdroyd. I just opened mapdroyd from the folder, then hit the home key and it went back to my homepage with no open folders. I am running nova prime and my note is rooted with a stock rom. Working as intended on my end. Hope that helps.

Other option is a foder widget. Not sure of the name but there are a few on the play store. Instead of making a folder you use the widget but it can act like a folder holding icons for apps.

You know when you select a piece of the page with the spen holding the button? After that an option to share pops up. Well it doesn't pop up anymore. I have to go into gallery to share it. Any idea how I disabled this accidentally? Thanks

So what it says there. I can't figure out what is making it open.
I Believe when your on your main page and press the home button it goes to the magazine

Yes. That is is the settings of the app if you look.
When you guys figure it out let me no ... it's really getting on my nerves

They did lol. They are right. It seems though some apps aren't recognized correctly, for example, Messenger. It might think it's on the home screen, which it is, but if I'm writing on Messenger to someone my instinct tells me to press home to get out.

Just go into "my magazine" and open settings and disable "open using the home key"
