there is a laucher for nexus one with the possibility to created folders in the menu,no in 5 home?
Yes It is important also for me. Could you find any?
Since this is a question it should probably be in the Q&A section.
'Astro' lets you create shortcuts to folders and 'Helixlauncher2' lets you put that shortcut on the quick launch bar.
Long press on the screen->create shortcut->astro->long press on target folder.

Version: 1.5.5
Organize your Android applications using labels
You can create a label shortcut (or a widget) with a custom icon on Android home (long touch on home and select shortcut)
1.5: widget support, if you have "Apps label" bug please use widgets instead of shortcuts
I'm using Android Mate.
Organises your apps, has a file explorer, and an installer... 3 in 1 app.
this + titaniumbackup = easy and organized backups ( apps organizer integrates directly into it )
Folderorganizer is nearly the same : Organize Applications, Bookmarks and Contacts using labels and create home folders with custom icons.
Okay so you know how can you make a folder Widget on your home screen?
I want to do that and make a folder for Media, Internet, Utility, etc but I can't rename the folders. They all just say "Folder" is there a way I can rename it to "Media" or whatever I want?
If not is there a widget that does the same thing, but lets me rename the folder icons on my home?
Long press and hold on the folder title bar will allow you to rename folders
Took a, while to find that out

Holy crap thanks. That's kinda weird. I though you would long click the Folder Icon itself (but that's to move/delete it)
PS There is an App for XDA?

*FYI, I have searched and read other questions regarding this subject in the forums and none have addressed this specific problem:
I want to use Folder Organizer (X10 mini) to clean up my android desktop and put the icons into folders, but even after checking the forums for this app, for example in android forums dot com it says:
"you can tag applications with labels in Folderorganiser, which adds them to the 'Folder'. Finally, all you need to do is long press on the home screen, tap shortcuts, choose Folderorganizer Label, and add it. Viola, a folder with a custom icon."
But these directions do not work because when I follow them, (I have already created labels for all of my apps) I long press on the home screen, which does not bring me to shortcuts but instead brings me to 6 apps on my phone including Folder Organizer, so I tap that, and then shortcuts, and it does not give me an option to create a shortcut on my desktop, it only gives me an option to create a shortcut for individual apps, which do not even show up on my desktop.
Please help, how do I create an icon/folder that holds all similar apps on my desktop, eliminating the original messy icons, so that I don't have to scroll through 50 unorganized apps? It would be nice to only have 4 categories/folders or so on my phone desktop
Thank you!

" long press on the home screen, which does not bring me to shortcuts but instead brings me to 6 apps on my phone including Folder Organizer"
sounds like your long pressing the home button to me. try long pressing a blank area on your screen itself buddy
So i found the thread with all the icons in the world and got some i would like to use for my TF.
I have been able to use them on the folders i created with folder organizer.
Butttttt.. i have not been able to find a way to change the icons/create icons for installed apps.
I tried anycut and desktop visualizer but they make the icons smaller and have different font.
on my phone i used to use shortercut i believe but this is not available for tablets.
so how could i get this done?
any suggestions?
Thanks.
Folder Organizer can do it. Go to apps, select the app you want to change, select icon.

that only changes the icons you see in the folders of folder organizer doesnt it?
it doesnt let you change them and see them that way on the home screen.
You can change an icon for any app you place on the home screen so long as you use Folder Organizer to do it.
Go into Folder Organizer select your app and change it's icon to one you specify.
Next go to add an item to the home screen and go to more and select Folder Organizer Item.
Next select apps and select the app that you changed the icon to.
There you go, you should now have a custom iconed app on your home screen.
w00t, your right.. awesome!
Just what i wanted.
Thanks..
Glad you got it working. Incidentally, you can also change icons with ADWLauncher EX just in case your interested.
Cheers...
When I want to permanently change an icon (well not permanently since it can be undone) I use apk edit. Just type it in the search bar and it should pop up. Or you can just apply them with a launchers such as Go Launcher, Launcher Pro, and ADW

A large number of apps allow you to launch an application, but many of them don't let you select a shortcut. In my case, I want to launch a Folder Organizer folder shortcut.
Is there any way to "wrap" an Folder Organizer folder shortcut into an application?
Ideally, I'd want the app to prompt you for an icon & a shortcut & make an app out of it, but hard-coding the icon & shortcut would work for me as well.
If it doesn't exist, anyone I can beg/bribe to write such an app (even if hard-coded) ?
Failing this approach, anyone know an app that will let me fire a shortcut from the home or search button? Might even go way back to Power Strip.
Hey Guys
I have Action Launcher installed on my Galaxy S8 (Running Oreo with Samsung Experience 9) and I found a shortcut widget to a notification log. Doing a quick Google search it seems like Samsung doesn't offer this feature natively. From what I can tell, you have to have Action Launcher installed in order to access the shortcut but I'll try to give as much detail as possible to recreate it with other means.
1. While in Action Launcher, long press and select widgets
2. Long press Activities (Should be at the top with the Action Launcher logo) and place it on your homescreen
3. The Activities page should open, scroll down to settings and expand it
4. Scroll a ways down to Notification Log and select it
5. There should now be a settings icon labeled Notification Log on homescreen
There are a bunch of other useful shortcuts in this Activities menu, they appear to be paths that exist in each app that lead to specific functions or menus. Some of them don't actually do anything if you set them as widgets.
Note: The text under Notification Log is:
.Settings$NotificationStationActivity
if that helps. I leave it to the far more capable community to describe what I've actually stumbled on.

You chose the wrong section. This is the section for mods and themes
My apologies, which thread would this be best fit for? (Just so I don't get it wrong)
