Guys,
Got the Note 2, an amazing machine...
Got one question though: It seems like you can make folders in the app drawer, so I did. But now I am faced with not being able to move any apps to that folder, not can I delete the folder. Can anyone tell me how to do that?
Please not I am talking about the app drawer, not about the home screens.
did u press menu - edit before organising your folder?

Yeah I had the same problem and had to play around to find the solution. In the app drawer, hit menu>edit. Then in edit mode you can move apps to folders/delete folders/uninstall apps etc.

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

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.

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.

Thnx. Works fine
Can someone tell me how to "empty" icons that are stored in a folder back into the regular app drawer? The usual click, hold, and drag takes me back to the homescreen layout page. Just as a clarification, I'm talking about folders contained within the app drawer itself. I know how to handle everything on the home screen. Thanks in advance.

I finger dinked and actually figured it out myself. Posting solution just in case others are wondering. While in the app drawer, click the menu button in the bottom toolbar and select edit. While in the edit mode, the icons are being moved around only inside the app drawer which lets you open the folders and drag the icons out. My OCD self can rest again.

Hi guys,
I just got my g3 and something really strange happened.
I had the google folder on my homescreen and then deleted it, when i go into my apps i can't see the apps that were in that google folder.
I have to goto the playstore and open gmail from there. Is there any way i can get my icons back from the folder i deleted?
Just before anyone mentions, my apps aren't hidden. They're just gone
Those are just doors to your apps, you deleted the doors.
Just long press on your screen and a dialog will Pop up, go to apps and browse to the one you want, touch it and it should go to your screen.
Yup i know about that also...
I like to have a clean desktop...therefore i use the apps key all the time and access my apps from there.
Is there another way of getting my icons back to where all my other apps are?

Long press on any of them and the one you press will appear on the desktop page your on.. Your then free to long press and move, delete, edit the name etc.... At least with Nova launcher you can.
