App drawer organizer

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

App icon themeing?

Is there a way I can change an apps icon with a theme manger type program on my phone?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
some ROM's allow you to hold down an icon to change it with icons pre-installed on your SD Card.
Some icon themes can be installed through apps like ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro.
Its nice using Launcher Pro. It can install Icon Packs on the fly.
Yeah I'm familiar with launcher pro and adw themes and stuff but I want to modify icons on my htc with the sense launcher?

any ideas?

Try Folder Organizer lite on the Android Market.
http://market.android.com/details?id=com.abcOrganizer.lite
In the apps section, it allows you to change the icon for all apps. In order for the icon to show up on the home screen as modified, you need to add the app as a "Folder Organizer item" widget.

Using folder organized worked! Good enough for now. Now just got to figure out how to get that icon on my sense 3.0 lockscreen instead of using the stock application icon it makes me use.

Desktop Visualizer does exactlly what your asking...
You choose what apk you want launched...
Then you choose a img file you want to be displayed for that apk file

How to remove a widget- running CM7

I have CM7 on my inspire and i put Newsweek Mobile widget on my homescreen and I expanded it to fit the whole screen, but now I can't remove it. I long-press the widget and a trashcan shows up, but i can't move it into the trashcan. The widget doesn't get highlighted or anything. I uninstalled the app because I thought that would help but now there's just a "problem loading widget" thing on the screen and the same problem occurs. Is there any way to remove a widget from the backend?

long press and release, a pop up menu should slide in with a "remove" option on it. i assume you are using the stock launcher ADW which comes with cyan 7.
Do you have lock background on?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
I'm using launcher pro plus. The long press thing doesn't work. And what do you mean a lock background?

This can be closed. I figured it out. I changed the number of rows in Launcher Pro Plus to 8, then I was able to long-press the widget and drag it to the trashcan. Then I just changed my rows back to 5.

[Q] Launcher Pro Plus App Drawer Shortcut on Homescreen

hi guys!
i want to completly remove my dock, and add the app drawer button directly on the homescreen. but i didnt find a shortcut or an activity for this.
using Launcher Pro Plus and Desktop Visualizer.
any ideas?
I don't use LP so I can't help you... but if you want to get really funky and go one step further, you can install Prox without even using a shortcut (as long as you have a proximity sensor).
Not what you asked for I know
wow that looks pretty cool, im gonna play with it
but i think i takes much battery....
Only when the screen is on. I use a Tasker profile to turn my screen off using the proximity sensor. It really doesn't use much battery at all.
kk, i give it a try
thx bro!

I didn't think LP let you remove the dock completely. If you try ADW, you can do exactly that--that"s the way I use it. I specify no dock, five icon rows, and put an app drawer shortcut on the home screen.
sure, I can set the dock (icons) blank. thats all

Got it--I guess you end up with an empty row at the bottom of the screen. Didn't even think of that.
Even better: set your swipe down gesture to hide dock, go to homescreen, swipe down and hide it, then go back and change swipe down to whatever you want to. Presto: no dock!

For me the easiest solution is what I mentioned above. Use ADW and specify no dock in the settings. I'm using Launcher 7 at the moment--no dock there either.

my problem is not the dock...
I want to set the app drawer to the homescreen. and I want to stay on LPP (resize widgets).
I just want the app drawer button "in the middle of the screen".

That's easy then. iirc it's Long press Homescreen/Add Shortcut/Launcher Activity/Open App Drawer.
Or something similar.

Same problem
I just google it to find how to add app drawer shortcut on launcher pro and find this link. I am using ADW Launcher EX but for some strange reason it can't add widgets over MIUI roms and also do not support MIUI icons, It use it owns icon pack so for that reason I install launcher pro, I can add widgets with it and it uses MIUI icons. Strange case here too no way to add app drawer shortcut

Homescreen customization

Is there any way to keep an app open on one of the home screen tabs, something like how the Google feed is in the pixel launcher?
