I have a horrid amount of apps and I need a way to organize my apps
Was curious if there were any apps that are capable of organizing the app drawer with folders to sort the apps.
If there's no app for it is there a way to manually create folders like in WinMo's start menu.

Afaik there is no way to easily organize the drawer, i am currently using one of my homescreens as drawer with a app called "apps organizer" wich lets you create labels for apps and use those labels as shortcut with a popup menu containing all aps with that label

The panda home organize apps by the initial letter's.
tell me if i'm wrong. cheers.
Apparantly I was wrong, extendedhome can organize the app drawer.

Dunno how good it is compared to other homescreen replacements though...
A better known home replacement capable of this is dxtop, this is not a free app though.

with launcher pro u can hide apps in your draw that u dont want to see
Thanks for all the suggestions I'm gonna go try some of them ... I use launcher pro and wasn't aware that out allows you too hide apps

dxTop has this capability as well. Used to be my favorite home replacement.
you could use ADW.Launcher or LauncherPro as home replacement
and then add an organizing app like Smart Shortcuts or Apps Organizer to the dockbar
this is genius in fact. i'm thinking about doing that myself!
no more need to spread essential app icons all over different home screens
That's what I'm trying to do minimize my home screens I'm already using Launcher Pro and I was looking at an app that is in beta just can't find the thread for it and can't quite remember the name it was like slip-something

You can also try quickdesk or power strip, extra home programs
organize apps in CORE ROM
Hi,
Can anybody help me, I would like to organize my apps, like on this pic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858418
I have that ROM, but cant find any place to make it like on the home screen !?
Maby its an app !??
(Small pic, of apps inside the folder/shurtcut) really like that feature.
seems to be a widget integrated in that rom.
take a look at your widget list. and if you still don't find it post the question in the rom thread ... good luck
Search the market for TagHome. Its a home screen replacement that allows you to organize your app drawer with different tags, really useful if you have lots of apps.
GO Launcher EX 2
Go launcher Ex available from the market for free offer iPhone like folders in the app draw and horizontal scrolling.
Thanks I have been using go launcher since its first introduction to the forums
The go launcher ex is great

Im wondering if theres an app like launch-x where you can have a 4x1 widget with a list of apps in it but where you can scroll through the pages instead of button press like on launch-x.
I think you can do that only with sweeter home which has horizontal and vertical scrolling of widgets and other great functions but it is a pain in the @ss to configure. Also i don't remember if it is paid or free app but i think it's paid.

Ill take a look at that one.
Hope a standalone app comes out that does this
Actually folder organizer can do that if you configure properly, but it can only show 4 or 5 icons in a row, which is a drawback
Alright just wondering if there is a way out there to organize the app drawer a bit.
So far, I have tried ADW launcher, and made custom catalogs, so 1 page for games, 1 page for settings and stuff, 1 page for media... and so on, but I would rather ditch the page setup for something more like folders.
Yeah, I understand that it could add extra clicks to getting to the apps, I think it would speed it it if I could view by function and not search through a full drawer.
Open the app drawer, and see folders called "games","Media","Settings"... and so on. Just kinda wondering if anyone has seen such an app or way to do it.
Hmm yeah I know what you mean. I usually use LauncherPro and tried ADW but none really have management within the drawer other than what you just said.
Go Launcher is your answer. It's almost like ADW has all the features that LP and ADW have, but you can actually create folders within the drawer, which is pretty neat.
You can add folders to your home screens then drag apps and such into them. You can rename the folder by opening it and pressing the word "folder."

This is why I use this Forum... AMAZING LAUNCHER! Thanks for the info.

yes, while this does work, I prefer to keep home screens open for widgets, and Icons in the app drawer. Thanks for the tip tho.
The idea of this thread is to share experiences of what apps you've found that compliment each other so that their combination makes for a better overall experience.
Here's what I've found so far:
Autostarts & Task Identifier
Task Identifier alerts you when an app starts in the background, so you can know what's going on with your phone at all times. Autostarts breaks down all of the phone's event triggers that apps can hook into to be started. So TI alerts you when something goes on...Autostarts can provide the reasons.
LauncherPro & Elixir
LauncherPro is a home replacement app. Elixir is an app that provides lots of system info widgets...But the really sweet capability is its' more powerful and robust options of home screen icon layouts (like fitting 49 icons in a 4x4 layout!). LauncherPro's own 'Auto-fit Items' options for homescreen icons adds to the overall functionality so these 2 apps play well together.
Apps Organizer & Titanium Backup
I run CM7 nightlies, which means a lot of reinstalling system apps I don't want. Having an option in TB to remove a bunch of apps based on saved labels is a godsend! Apps Organizer lets you categorize and label all the apps installed and TB just so happens to recognize those labels. So the 2 play nice together.
I hope that's helpful and look forward to hearing from other that've found potent combos.
Mini Info and LauncherPro
I use Mini Info's volume control as a swipe gesture on a dock icon, works pretty nice

ADW launcher and widgetoid work well with options for up to 5x5 widgets.

My current favorite widget locker and make your own clock (in beta in this forum)
Launcher Pro (again) and LCD Density (or a manual edit of build.prop)
I have Launcher Pro to have 6x6 icons and that's too many to see the icon labels. With the density lowered (200 in my case) you can see them, which is nice
Launcher Pro + Multipicture Live Wallpaper
have a look at a thread i posted here, video included as well:

Tasker goes well with pretty much anything.
But with Tasker + Minimalistic Text you can have all sorts of custom info on your screen.
Keepassdroid and Dropbox for the sync.

Hello all. Currently I have a Droid x as a backup phone and have the gingerbread leak installed. There is a nice category feature that allows you to put the apps in your drawer into, well, categories. Are there any apps that allow you to do this?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Some different homescreen apps allow you to put things into categories, but you'll lose HTC widgets or launcherpro widgets if you use that.
Go Launcher can do this, I think.
i remember an app called 'App Folders' on the incredible...maybe that will work for the thunderbolt too.
I use an app called Folder Organizer.
It allows you to tag apps, and then you an put a widget on your home screen(s) that is anything from an icon that will open up into a view of all apps tagged with a specific label, or even a 4x1, 4x2, 4x3 or 4x4 'window' with those apps.
It does a lot more, but I specifically use it for the nice folder organization (including allowing you to order the apps yourself) ability.
Ill give it a look. Thanks. I'm on adw ex and I really don't want to change from this launcher since its so nice. Ill check out that app though thanks.

Try taghome, you may like it also.
Go Launcher EX has support for folders and also hiding icons of applications you dont want. They also list applications by horizontal sliding list instead of vertical like in sense and stock.

Hi.
Does anyone know an app drawer replacement app, that can run with your favourite launcher. I want to stick with Sense, yet be able to use a better app drawer that has more features such as folder organizing, etc. I know that the actual drawer that's launched from the Sense drawer button can't be modified, but I'm looking for an app that is launched seperately and offers similar functionality.
I don't think that is possible, sorry.
Folder organizer or app organizer. I use folder organizer myself. I have my middle button launch the main menu fo shortcut and it shows a nice popup of my labels ie folders. You basically assign labels to your apps and the labels show up like folders.

What is it that you want to do that folder organizer doesn't provide? It has options to display the items as a list or grid. You can have different sort options even within each folder, etc. You can change the background, folder icon, border color.

Well, do you know any good folder organizers? I was hoping for an organizer with a similar appearance to that of the drawer.
Try
1. Vlauncher
2. Maybe organised my files
3. Maybe group home
quickdesk beta!
The new Sense 2.1 will have a slightly better app drawer - no folders to my knowledge though
http://www.appbrain.com/app/swipepad-beta/mobi.conduction.swipepad.android
It has a tab with all apps on it. I think it's pretty horrid, but some people swear by it.
AppFolders. It's in the Marketplace (and its cooked into a few Sense ROM's, such as Magnolia 1.3.2).
Try eyelauncher. That is what you look for.
You can try Advance App Drawer Demo: tag and grid supported.
