So, im coming from the Note 4 Edge...which imo had a proper edge screen. I use the app edge panel to quickly swap between and open my most used apps without having to go back to the home screen. The Note 7 only allows for 10 apps.
I need room for at least 15...
Am I screwed?
Create folders by putting the apps on top of each other. Each folder holds 15 apps iirc.

It's weird...i attempted to do this and i can't group Instagram and Facebook, but i can group say Amazon and the playstore
Update
I guess every spot had to be occupied before I was allowed to group apps

Hey,
im trying to do a nice theme and what id ideally like is the option to have on the main page to have shortcuts to folders containing just specific items such as games/utils/general apps instead of linking to the full app catalog and having to sort through.
at the min im just using one of the main pages thats full of games and it looks untidy so id like to sort it out
cheers
Touch the screen for a prolonged period of time and it should pop up a menu with "folders" in it
As above or get Smart Shortcuts from the market....
or search for apps organizer in the market, this allows you to create folder and add any app you want to them. from there you can use these folders as widgets
there's this "folderorganizer" in market...... lite is free, but pay for full features...
Every time I unplug my phone from my pc I see that the order the apps are placed are changed, fx once an app which is located on page 3, next time it is moved to page 4 or it even changes it place with other apps on the same page.
Is there a way to organize the placement of apps by alphabet, so the installed apps/games are placed according to their alphabet?
I use Go Laucher Ex...
isn't it possible without a launcher?
most launchers can do this, but I don't think its possible to do this in stock touchwiz...
EDIT:
this one has it, but after flashing the launcher won't work, so problably because its for galaxy s, and not for more resolutions/sizes

Code:
alphabetical: Arrange the menu alphabetically. (Re-enter edit mode after moving an app into the dock fill in any hole in app spacing)
i think they move because you have some apps on sd, they cannot be usable if you have connected your phone to pc as mass storage
I always liked touchwiz' appearance but disliked no sorting in app drawer. Workaround? Use desktops to arrange launchers as desired. It's quicker to access the apps (; .
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.
Hello,
My Sense Home Widget is not working properly. Pinned items disappear. Also, how am I suppose to add new folders (and apps) to the widget? Every time I remove something some other app automatically gets placed in there. I figured a work around with apps by creating a folder with a current item and the new item then removing the one I don't want... but that is a stupid design. I suppose I could do the same thing and recreate all the folders, but you think it would be easier... why cant I just drag them from another home screen. Anyone else having these issues?

Sense Home is designed to automatically populate with the apps that you use most in the particular location you're in. If you want to use it, then just set your locations and use your phone as you normally would in each location and the widget will learn which apps you use where and populate the widget accordingly.
If you want total control, then just place shortcuts directly on your home screens, but you won't have the location-specific feature anymore.
I understand it is meant to auto populate, but that doesn't account for pinned items disappearing or the lack of an intuitive way for manually adding items to that widget.

Is anyone else having this issue? Thanks
found this description on another site...
Alphabetize your apps: In the apps tray, hit menu > A-Z. This puts all the apps into logical order. You need to hit SAVE when you're finished. Also note that if you install new apps, they'll appear at the end of the list, so you'd need to sort into alphabetical order again, and again, and again.
very frustrating..who is the genius who thought this was an improvement
Same genius who created swipe to screenshot I assume.
It has been like this with touchwiz for verizon but I rooted and tested stock touchwiz. When in alphabetical it stays that way even with new apps
my note 4 didnt do it
