The folders i mean is shown there under games utilities etc. Really need to find an app that can help me

I use folder organizer for this, accepts custom icons'n all..
Only cons. Can't lock folders within, you'll need a 2nd for that.
But don't think there's any folder org* which does this (able to lock folders )
Left Bottom:
Games folder, includes 16 games.
From Top Right:
Tools folder: 12apps
Info folder: 4apps
Market Folder Includes diffr. markets..
With no txt labels:
^^it's my current, No ugly folders If you ask me that is, and all apps i folder is not to find in appdrawer.. (LauncherPro ability)
But main answer, there's plenty of free folder org. in market, free-ones as well, mine is the paid Folder organizer as said, but free ver. got almost same functionality

Ok ive dow.loaded Folder Organizer but I dont have a clue what im doing, how do I just create a folder then when I click on it it opens the box with apps in! Thanks

Go launcher makes folder icons that look exactly like the iPhone. All you do is drag and drop one icon into the other.

Open folder org. And organize all inside. Long press move to desired folder, make new if you want. To the right you see a dropdown menu, like on left side. Right side lets you add new icon, sort, unistall and so on.
To add to homescreen, add shortcut/folder org folder/choose folder. Done

Or just make the folder u want, name it what you want, and open the app folder, from there move the desired aps to desired folder, all apps is listed there with folder name, press left dropdown and check another box. Simple as that. This is under labels btw, same goes for above.
Hope it made you sense.

Erm. Where's the home button on the browser?

I hope I'm being blind but I can't see it. Hell I only found out recently that a long press on the back button brings up bookmarks, history and saved web pages.
Someone please tell me I'm being blind.

I could be wrong, but I don't think there's been a home button in stock browser in a long time (if ever).
Im guessing if you open a new window, it will go to your homepage.

That is a massive tip it's been drving me nuts having to scroll to the top.

Yea I don't think there is a home button. I like the Honeycomb browser and the MIUI Siren Browser where the tabs are visible at the top like a desktop browser.

Not quite the home button but you can type a search into the address bar (with a quick flick to bring to life)

Although I can't answer your question, I like to thank you for the tip. Long pressing the back button is a great shortcut to get fast into the bookmark menu!

p.s not my image, ignore the volume thing.
once enable, by touching the frame, the blue control appear.
the first one gives you opened tabs.
the middle globe gives you the search address bar immediatly,
and the ... give you extra menu.

[Q] Remove bar, dock, icons and all?

Ok first view my screenshot at the bottom of this post.
My current setup:
LauncherPRO, status bar toggled hidden, black background, and custom dock icon images, black (so they appear hidden)
What I want:
Ideally, I want NO dock icons.
I use google gesture search for everything. There is an extra app that makes google gesture pop up when I long-press the search button, so i'd like to remove that icon as well.
Please help with any ideas!
Also I am liking the idea of invisible widgets.
I want to have secret ones, where I scroll left-side to open x app, or pinch and zoom one area of the screen to toggle wifi, etc.

Bump.
Essentially I want no homescreen.
Using the search button long-press shortcut to gesture search is all I need.
I might throw a hidden lock on there as well.
I want it to appear that my device is powered down to the average user.

I use Go launcher and Swipe pad. Nothing else on my homescreen. Toggling statusbar (swipe up or down) and no icons in my on my taskbar. I double tap to get to my app drawer. I use swipe pad for quick access to what I use most. I like it no one can figure out my phone.

Looking for "shortcuts" developement

I am looking for, or trying to create shortcuts that would open a doc with an app. Example would be to open a specific pdf with "docs to go" I would like the ability to create the custom short cuts and place them in a home screen. I'm running Clean ROM 3.3 with Perseus kernel on i317. I could live with an app if there is one or would donate to development. Sorry if this is the wrong place for thos post or if its a stupid question.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium

Are u saying specific files with docs to go.. and other files with same file extension with another app? If so.. that'd be difficult unless u set 'said' extension to 'no' default, so it asks u each time. But if not, read the next part.
If you're just looking to create shortcuts to, say documents, you can do this: probably need a custom launcher.. I think (I use nova launcher but they all support shortcuts). Then download a file explorer like Solid Explorer. Then long press on a home screen, select shortcut, choose solid explorer, navigate to file u want to link to.
Hope that's what u were asking.

I dont have defaults set because I need the system to "ask" each time I open a file. I use quite a few editors for different reasons. ES File allows u to long press for shortcut if you have defaults set. What I need is an "open file with" shortcut. I've never had the need until I bought the Note 2. The size and power has made it a valuable tool and more portable than my tab.

If your defaults are cleared then it should ask each time you launch the shortcut "Complete action using", etc.etc.

You might want to read the post. You didnt answer the original question, only clarified my response

I am the one that must apologize I misunderrstood your response. I did somehow set some defaults. I cleared and both Root Explorer and ES File shortcuts work not totally what I want but will do the trick. Thanks for the help and again, sorry.

I've used file explorer, navigate to the file or doc, long press on it and create shorcut

Is there a built-in download manager?

I accidentally downloaded a file and couldn't find a way to stop it. When I open "Downloads", it just shows me files in my Downloads folder.
Is there any way to cancel files that are being downloaded?
Thanks.

Could have sworn you just have to long press the download notification to cancel it

Nope...I tried that. All that happened was that the notification became dark blue, the notification's title became "chrome", and two icons (an "i" and a settings wheel) appeared in the notification.

Sounds like you log pressed the notification in the notification shade. There is a downloads app. In fact it opens if you click the notification. When you open the downloads app you long press the download and hit delete in the action bar at the top.

Really? Could have sworn I went into Downloads and didn't see "In progress". I guess I wasn't looking properly.
