Is there a way to hide a folder? ex: pic folder you know when someone have ya phone the first thing they wanna do is check ya pics.
You can hide it from TF3D and HTC Photo Album by editing the registry; it will still be visible from the Pictures & Videos application.
Go to:
HKLM\software\htc\htcalbum\ignored\
add the path of your folder(s)
what about any programs to hide the pictures or lock them. even hiding certain sms/mms stuff?

Sounds like you got something to hide! lol...well, prob the easiest way would be to just rename the pics and change the file extension to something else. That way, they couldn't see them, and all you have to do is change back the file extension. Just an idea.
Do a search for morescript, install it then search for hidescript. With this you can hide a folder and all sub folders that obviously contain all of your dirty pics from the htc photo album.
It works great for hiding all my super secret under cover spy info.

I've found the best free way to hide files is to compress them.
Pocket rar is better but I managed to find Htc Zip which was on my old blackstone, which I'm more accustomed to.
Just set up a password before adding the files and it gives you the option to delete the original file

Hide my stuff v3.6, simple to use, hides files so definitely not visible unless using the programme.
They wont ever know its there, enter your password and you can view them all
ehm.. why don't you just hide them from pc?? via usb..
it works.
But you cannot open that folder untill you make it visible again ( always on computer ).
Maybe with Total Cmmander you can see the invisible ones..
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.

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.
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.
