I might just be being dumb...
I have a folder on one of my home screens called Games and I keep my games shortcuts in there. I remember naming it to games myself.
However, whenever I create a new folder or long press an existing one I don't get the option to name/rename. What am I doing wrong?

Did you long press the name on top of the window after you press on it initially?

Anyone know how to add more home screens or maybe of an app that helps you create more?

Go to any blank screen hit settings and then edit - tap the fray plus sign at the bottom of the screen. You can only add one blank screen at each end of the screens display - but you can add one item, add another screen then go back adn delete that one item and have two blank screens.

create a shorcut of the contacts, messages and phone on one of the screens, then long press and drag and drop on the menu in the order to replace the game icons.

No when you long press the shortcut the "remove" icon appears at the bottom,so it cant be dragged onto the menu,you can only remove the message icon on the desktop.

Step 1 i dont understand ??,but step 2 worked,i can only change the icon from the applications menu,not the desktop... thanks
I was curious if it was possible to change the default buttons at the bottom? I am talking about the phone, email, web and application buttons. I really just want to change the web one to be the browser I downloaded. I am rooted if that helps

Go into your app drawer, click and hold your browser that you want and drop it onto the spot you wanna put it. That should do it.

There are applications that we can't change their shortcuts name when we create them.
I get a long name such as "shortcuts for blablabla". How can I change the long name to my favorite name?

Too this I would like to know. Yes?
Is it possible?
Can you provide a real life example? I believe I never saw anything like what you described, so you got my attention and curiosity. Lol.
I'll try to reproduce it here and see if I can find a solution.

As you can creature a widgets on the phone desktop you also can creature a shortcuts. There are applications that gave you the possibility to choose name for their shortcut (like astro file manager) and other applications set a long name like "shortcut of xda forum" (like xda application). I want to change this shortcut long name.

What launcher are you using? Did you try to hold on to shortcut and then rename?

I use Sense and no, hold on to shortcut just let me to move the icon.
ADW Launcher lets you rename shortcuts after a long press.

I believe Sm!th figured it out. Every launcher should work differently, but for some reason I wrongly assumed you were on TW, sorry about that.

You can (with Go Launcher EX) depending on what you mean by "App screen"? If you mean "App drawer", you can create folders in the App Drawer by dragging any item on top of another.

Well I could on my iPhone but not here. I just tried with 2 side by side icons and all they do is change places!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
OK figured it out . On the app page you go into edit mode. Then you long touch on an icon and drag it down to the bottom where a few options appear ,one being a folder. So after you drop it in the folder, it moves up to the screen and you can drop other icons into it.

Try again... side by side icons work... just long press one icon (red X appears), then drag onto any app icon AND KEEP HOLDING FIRST ICON until box appears underneath... then let go and folder name screen appears.
Nope no go , no little red boxes . But I do remember seeing them on my phone on one revision or other.
