[Q] Custom folders in app-drawer - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. Coming from Touchwiz I like the ZenUI quite enough, but...
Is there a way to create folders (with a custom name) in the app drawer and put inside them the apps I do will, not based upon the approximate built-in categorization, which put almost all of them together ?
Stuff like AppZorter for TW would be sci-fi on this kind of UI, isn't it ?
Thanks for any trick

Easy, in the apps menu up on the right site, touch the edit option.

And how could I create custom folders, this way ?
I see the "smart folder" (automatic) option only, which isn't too smart, as I said above
Thanks

You have to choose edit and creat manually over posted.

Sorry but I can't get your point.
If I choose "Edit" in the top-right menu, the drawer automatically switches to "custom mode", with those self-distributed smart folders.
How could I create new custom folders or move apps between them ?
I can only rename the existing ones, but they stay as before and all the apps come back to them soon
Thank you

Ok, I'm answering myself if someone else could be interested in the OP question solution:
to create a custom folder, both on the home or drawer (edit mode) layers, you should drag an app icon above another: a folder containing both of them would be created.
Then you can edit/change the folder name tapping over it
Done.
Thanks for putting on right way

[WAD2] Storm Theme for WVGA

I have modified Mallmans Storm theme to provide a single day agenda on the first page
4 pages: Desktop, Applications, Weather and Calendar
I have also included buttons for Bluetooth, Wifi, Sound and signal (comms manager) in a 'status' area at the top of the page.
On the desktop, the messages (white is for SMS and red is for voicemail), clicking on the red one will dial Voicemail in the UK, white will open "SMS". The email will open my default folder so you will need to change the shortcut for that.
Applications is a mixture of Storm Icons and default icons, I have lots of apps that I don't have time to create icons for so have allowed both to used on the applications page. Weather page is simple and does for me. Calendar provides 2 days worth of events.
I don't have a contacts page as I have mapped a single press of the 'green' button to iContact 6.45BE. Double press launches the phone dialer.
Normal instructions for installing a WAD2 theme. All of my icons and the wallpaper are contained within the zip file and you just need to unzip the file and then copy the folder to Program Files\Lakeridge\Wisbar Advance\Theme and then open WAD2, select 'Settings' by holding the stylus on the screen and select 'Change Theme'.
Thanks to Mallman for providing the base for this.
Any questions just ask away.

Reup for you guys as requested. Link here and in previous post. http://www.filedropper.com/glocstormtheme
Thanks. I can download the zip file OK but when I try to unzip it asks for a password. Looks like page_desktop and page_applications are password protected? Can you help.
Even tho you have given installation instructions i still cant install the theme. Is there anything else required? I have created the folders that you mentioned but still no success.
Also when i unzip the file it says that there are some files missing. Can you please check and upload the correct file as this seems to be a brilliant theme!!
Wait since you mention "created folders"...did you install WAD before? Because after that all that needs to be done is copy the "BB Storm Theme" folder extracted from the zip into WAD's theme folder, start WAD, right-click somewhere on the desktop page, choose Settings and then Change Theme, or Search Theme.

And for Chris5304: Your downloaded zip file is either corrupt, or you use an old packing program. Try free 7-Zip, it can also handle 00x file endings, and becomes part of your shortcuts when you right-click on your PC desktop. http://www.7-zip.org/

Thanks to ur help I managed to install the theme but it does not work properly. Infact i have extra windows icons that wont go away and when i click them it says "incorrect pathway"....I really like this theme and really want it to work!!!!
Well its natural to have Icons that lead nowhere at first, since the paths to your installed programs are not always the same as in GLOC's. Already your memory card might be named differently. So in order to adjust the paths you have to learn WAD a little bit. You will manage eventually, as I did.

Plenty of threads on WAD, you will need to read up a bit but for the basics try this:
press and hold anywhere to get a menu with "Author Mode" as an option. Select this. Then press and hold on a button which doesn't go anywhere for you. Choose "Properties". Click on "Script". Click on "Launch a program" and then "Edit". Click the drop down list arrow next to the program path and choose a program on your machine from the resulting list.
If this is still not clear I think you should search other threads here and on Lakeridge web site forums as this is getting off topic!
Hi, firstly thanks for this great theme, took me a while to figure out what WAD2
I have one slight problem, when on the desktop after I have checked my email or sms and I click close the phone dialer shows up with "Save to Contacts" any idea what is causing this. I am using Duttys 2.6 rom and have the latest trial version of WAD2.
Also how did you make the icons as I would love to create some for HD tweak and othe rapps I use.
Thanks
Sully
Glad you like it.
With regards to adding new contacts I am not sure but it has only just started happening with mine. I am also using Dutty 2.6 extreme and it comes up, it didn't come up when I used the vanilla rom, so I wonder if it is something to do with the new Rom.
With regards to the icons, I am not sure but I know that if you search the Lakeridge forums there are some posted there. I personally use the application icons as I can't be bothered to create new icons!!
Regards
Brilliant mate, love it ! Thanks.
I have the same problem
Probably I do not undestand well
I have instaled WAD2 in my touch hd
I try to unzip your theme zip file, on my desktop, but there are many, many errors.
where is my mistake ?
thanks in advance for your help

Changing application icons - possible workaround?

So, I'm well-aware that the reason icons can't be changed easily on the Android home screen is because the icon image is stored in the APK file, and editing that image is, essentially, near impossible.
However, I had an idea that could potentially fix that problem, and I'm just curious how realistic the solution is:
As most G1 users know, AnyCut is a great application that can allow a user to create a shortcut to any number of actions on the phone. These shortcuts are customizable by name, and, for the time being, have a limited number of icons, one for each shortcut type.
I also recall using an app several months ago to change the icons of bookmarks (Bookmark 2, I believe it was called). With this app, a user could choose exactly what their icons would look like on the home screen, except, of course, that these icons could only link to bookmarks.
By combining these two applications, wouldn't an icon changer be quite possible?
Using this same methodology, wouldn't it be possible to create "shortcuts" to applications on the home screen, and thus, allow the user to rename apps and change their icons, at least on the desktop? I know that the icons would not be changed in the pull-out drawer or elsewhere on the system, but wouldn't this be a temporary workaround, until a better solution is reached? I have quite a few programs with horrendous icons, and it really takes away from the aesthetic of the home screen.
Again, all I'm asking is if there's a way to place a shortcut to an APK on the desktop, and preferably to customize that shortcut's icon, not the actual apps.
It is possible to edit .apk's and change the icons. Just look at the forum for theams.

Well, I know that the icons can be edited in a theme, but can non-stock icons be edited as well?
And also, my concern with that is that it seems like a lot of work to update a theme everytime a new app appears on the market. I'm a little OCD, so if I were able to change all the icons on my home screen, I would want them all to be absolutely uniform (like the themes' icons are). However, if a new, super-useful app were to appear on the market, and I absolutely needed it on my home screen, it would seem much easier to simply add an image to my phone, and make a shortcut using that image, than to have to edit an APK, resign the entire package, and reflash the phone each time. While I know my way around the G1, and I'm comfortable with basic rooting, I am by no means a developer, and just like most G1 users, I would probably be more comfortable making shortcuts than updating firmware.
Do you understand where I'm coming from?
I too, would also like to know how to change "non-stock" app icons. Bump.

I have yet to try this, but (provided you have root), you should be able to use adb to pull the apk for an app off your phone, edit it as described, and push it back to the same place. I will give this a go tomorrow, as I'm rather sleepy, and it's probably not a good thing to mess about with superuser stuff when I can't think straight.
If there's any flaws in my theory, I'd be happy to hear them.

Video doesnt show you how to change "non-stock" app icons, only icons for the original apps.
Well, I kind of figured out how to change the non-stock icons. But got stuck at the end...here's what I did...
1) Install/Open Astro.
2) Back up the app you want to change the icon for.
3) Grab that backup apk file off of your sdcard and put it on your computer.
4) Open it with Winrar.
5) Go to the proper folder and drag your new icon into the folder.
6) Close Winrar and move the apk back to your sdcard.
...this is where I get stuck, I know the icon changed because I can see it when I TRY to install the app. But the app doesnt want to install, it says "install unsuccesful". I'm guessing it needs to be signed?
I have used astro as well, I even signed the apk the same way I sign themes and no luck.

You're real close; once you replace the icon you need you need to delete META-INF folder then zip it back up, rename file extension to .apk and sign it with the test keys like the stock .apk. The META-INF is where the signature info is kept from the original author, you need to delete this so it doesn't conflict with the test keys.

I will that a try. So this also mean that if author updates .apk file we will not be able to install update? Similar to google RC30 updates, we have to wait for JF to modify it.

Agreed; this might be a problem.
I mean, opening up the APK files is definitely a start, but it seems the shortcut approach I mentioned earlier is just so much easier. Shortcuts would allow basic users to change icons effortlessly and without fear of ruining the app, and the process could be just as easy as Bookmark 2, if a developer took charge, no?

i would like to verify that this method works to change non-stock apps without pushing files or inserting apps into updates. i used 7zip but i'd imagine winrar will work fine as well. just remember to delete the entire metainf folder, not just its contents. once you have your .apk, re-sign it using stericson's auto-sign utility and you'll be able to install the app through astro.
i should also note that i deleted all instance of the unmodified app from my sdcard. i uninstalled it and deleted the backup on my sd card. this may or may not be necessary, but i just wanted to take precautions.
I've given this method a try, and it seems simply too complicated for a moderate user like me. Wouldn't the shortcut method I mentioned be so much easier to quickly change home screen icons? Would any of the developers on this forum be interested in throwing such an app together? I'd gladly donate some money if a good app was able to take care of this problem.
what are you having trouble with, exactly? i'm far from an advanced user myself, but this is probably one of the easier things to do on the g1, probably second to flashing themes.
though i will say that there are a few apps that i can't change icons for. chomp and cubik have installed but force close when opened.
i have a feeling it's something to do with the signing the apk's, but like i said, i'm not an advanced user at all.

I opened up the APK using WinRAR, replaced the icon.png with my icon of choice, and then I'm stuck. I known I have to auto-sign the APK, but am not exactly sure how. I have Stericson's auto-signer tool, and used command 4 to manually enter the APK path, but once I do that I get a bunch of errors. If need be, I can copy down the exact error I get.

you probably need to delete the contents of the meta-inf folder. there should be three files in there, delete them all. if you extracted the contents of the .apk, zip them back up with an .apk extension. if you didn't extract them, you're at the last step, which is to re-sign the .apk. you don't actually need to manually re-sign the file through the console on stericson's re-signer. just right-click the .apk file and at the very top, there should be an option that says "resign .apk". click on that and your app will be re-signed and ready for an install attempt.
though, as i said before, this method is not 100%. of the 6 apps that i modified so far, i was only successful with 4 of them. even if you do all of the steps correctly, you might not have a working app at the end. the apps will install but will automatically force close when launched. i don't know what causes this, actually, and any suggestions would be appreciated.
I agree with the OP, while it is easy enough to edit the apks, resign them, copy them back onto your phone it would be far more elegant (IMHO) if you could have an application that allowed you to copy "Icon Packs" onto your SDCard, and then add links to applications on your home screen giving you a choice of icons from the aforementioned "Icon Pack".
Theme developers could then distribute the "Icon Pack" with the theme, and end users could easily add custom icons to your home screen from your phone without having to mess about on a PC.

ok found a work around use hcomber to change the icon to a transparent png LMAO. I know i know, not ideal but if you move it to the bottom of the start menu and make it invisible well.... out of sight out of mind. This isn't solved obviously, but its a start.
Hi Mallman
This is my workaround: there's more icons than the home that I don't want to see, so I added a folder in the start menu and I moved all of them to this folder I called Unused.
This way I don't remove or tamper with icons that I might need later, and I have a smaller menu.
By the way I didn't test the possibility to make this folder hidden, here's another possibility if you want to explore it...
Has a fix for this ever been found or is this a dead thread?
I know how to do it but my instructions are at home. it involve's opening the shellres file with reshack and overwriting the words start with blank spaces.. i'll be back tnight with those instructions for you.

1. Unsign your shellres.dll.0409.mui
2. Open it in one of these three Reshack / PE Explorer / Restoratorand go to string value 321 and change the name from Start to whatever you want. If you want it blank add 5 spaces
3. Save your modified file
4. Open MssignerorMultiple file Signer

· a window will pop-up with "Process finished!"
· You will see a that a text file has been create for your shellres on your desktop
· Open the text file, if you see "Warning: This file is signed, but not timestamped, Succeeded" you know the file was signed.

not a bad idea only this will not touch the today icon. its isnt a file in the start menu.

Adding folders to the start menu

how do you create folders in the start menu to store items...that way you don't have to scroll down forever. Ive seen this used in some ROMS...i dont really want to flash a rom so is there any way to do this?
Go to Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ and create the folders there.

If you are using the Stock Rom, it may be worth it to maybe get a different file explorer than the stock winmo.
I use Resco File Explorer, the demo version is free and all features work for 14 days I think, then after that, most of teh normal features still work, very useful and far mo finger friendly than the stock file explorer or even total commander that some custom roms come with.
if you go into HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start you'll see keys corresponding to your folder names. Add an "Icon" string value there having the location of a png image if you want to make a custom folder icon. I've not found a way other than restarting to activate the new folder icon (yet)...
I'm in the stock ROM (really like the quality of this vs. the stock Fuze rom) and in Windows 7 trying to reorganize the start menu icons.
For some reason, windows is telling me I don't have permissions to make these changes. Anyone have an idea why?
Thanks!

how do I move files and folders around on my start page?

using joshs perfect black 1.7 full... maybe this belongs in his rom thread but I am not sure if it is a general question. thanks in advance, just want to move folders and files I use the most to the top and put files in their correct folders and such.
Using a file explorer, navigate to "\windows\start menu\". Here, you can arrange the shortcuts into whichever folder you want.
To rearrange the order, it's more problematic. Open the Start Menu. If you tap and hold on an item, you'll get the option to "Move to top". So, if you systematically select icons to "move to top" you'll be able to get a layout that you want.

thanks! took a while but I got everything arranged how I want it!
I hope they come out with an "Arrange Icons" menu so you can just drag the items freely to organize them faster. It takes so long to arrange them in the desired order with the current way, but it's a start.
