Hi.
I got a lot of widgets and stuff and there's a whole bunch of different sizes of certain widgets and its clogging up my menu. Not only does it make my widgets menu load slower but its also kind of a pain in the ass to scroll through so many different widgets to get to the one I want. So I was just wondering if there's an app that would hide certain widgets that are unneeded.
X10 is rooted btw

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

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.

Is there a way to organise apps in the app drawer? It is now just a collection of apps, but I like the idea of a totally clean homescreen (only widgets and dock), and an organised App Drawer.
It doesn't matter how the apps are organised. It can be with folders, different pages, whatever. But it has to be in the App Drawer. Is there an app/launcher/custom ROM that can do that?
Anyone? I know not many people want this, because they organise their apps on the homescreens, and the App Drawer is just a collection of all apps, but as I said, I really like the idea of a homescreen with widgets only, and an organised App Drawer with folders or different pages or whatever.
ADW Launcher has an option to create a catalog to group apps, but everytime you need to change catalogs, you have to press menu, then "choose group".
It´s nice, but it should have a better way to choose between the groups.
All apps organizer is what I use. If you use adw or launcher pro you can make it your app drawer. Works really well.

So..., that just replaces the App Drawer? That's fine to me, but I hope you can hide the 'real' App Drawer then. I still want my app drawer button in the middle + 2 icons on either side in the dockbar, but then the app drawer icon should link to that All Apps Organizer program.

You can set the option in ADW.Launcher so that there are arrows on the left and side of the bottom of the screen when you open the app drawer, then pressing those arrows you can switch the catalogs.
Just found out that Go Launcher EX has folder support. I'm starting to like this launcher more and more! Nobody knows it though, so I couldn't find much information about the folder support in app drawer.
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.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.gau.go.launcherex
I have been looking for a standalone app that looks functions like the stock app drawer, but with customizable icons+shortcuts that I can link to from the homescreen; this would be similar to App Organizer or Folder Launcher, which you can do the same thing with, but then apps are displayed in list view. I would just like a snapping "icon view" vertical app drawer.
The goal is to be able to use a quick, lightweight launcher such as Zeam, and be able to change the icons and link to this app instead of the stock one. I feel this would be a solution for many others who don't need or want a full featured homescreen and just want to be able to get a custom look.
This would also save an enormous ammount of time for those (like me) who have attempted to Meta/Ninja-morph or resign market apps and spent a rediculous ammount of time trying to change that one giant orange square icon that throws off the otherwise clean custom look of your drawer.
I love ADW Ex, but it can get really bogged down with multiple widgets. LauncherPro can hide apps from the drawer and have homescreen shortcuts, but that is a pain as well. Other possible featurs could be horizontal/vertical/4d/etc. and custom arrangement, keeping in mind that the main goal is to keep it from eating up resources. Anybody?
(maybe this thread should be moved, thnx)
I know Im not the only one
