Hello, I was wondering if it was possible to to have a folder auto close after you start an app in that folder?
I'm not rooted so is there a stock alternative.
Try a free app called App Organizer.
I love this app!
Auto close is one of its options.

Anyone who has jailbroken an ipod touch or an Iphone may have come across an app that is called categories. It takes the apps that you want and puts them into categories on your home screen so it is less cluttered.
Is there any app that has this type of function, whether on the home screen or on the sense app list?
I don't know of any way to categorize apps in your app drawer but there is a built in option to make folders on your homescreen.
There is an app called Apps organizer in the market.

Hey guys,
I'm using launcher pro for a while, but I didn't find a solution for putting folders into dockline (in order to sort apps, games, etc)
Hope some of you can help, thanks a lot - kind regards

Use simi folder, available on the market on this forum.

You can also use Folder Organizer or Apps Organizer. Simi Folder is also a good one, as mentioned.
Heya, thank you
Simi folder seems to be nice!

Ok, this is my first day with this marvelous device. I installed Tweet caster, as it was my go to twitter app on my EVO. After I installed Tweet Comb and became fascinated by it, tweet caster on the xoom just doesn't carry too far.
Right now, both are giving me notifications and it's annoying, but I don't want to uninstall caster, either. Other than a reboot, what will fix this issue? Can't you simply exit an app? Do I need an app killer? I've been told app killers are unnecessary with Android, but on my EVO I use the app killer all the time.

I don't use either app, but check the settings. You should be able to turn off notifications. In settings, apps, manage apps though you can stop an app. DO NOT USE A TASK MANAGER.
I agree that task managers that automatically kill apps are no longer required by android. However, in order to close apps easily I use an app called Active Apps, since a lot of apps tend to linger in the background. Put the widget on your desktop and it will give you a running tally of how many apps are running and allow you to opt to quit one or all of them.

I don't know if this will be easier for you, but if you have to kill an app you can also find the app in the drawer and drag it onto the "i" , which will take you to the same spot as finding the app in "settings/applications/manage applications/" then finding the app.

Hey guys and gals,
Could not find a topic on this when it came to the Transformer and Honeycomb. What applications are you all using to creating folders with honeycomb? I have not found any thus far that seem to fit the bill for me so thought I would ask the masses.

I think the OP meant app folders on the homescreen. File Manager HD is great, but it doesn't do that. I'm just trying out Simi Folder Widget, but it's too soon for me to say if it's any good.
I've been using apps organizer. Open the app and organize your apps into the categories/labels. Then on home screen you add each as a widget.

I have been using the Folder Organizer app from the same makers as that app. I think its just a skinnied down version of the app organizer.

+1 on that! It interacts nicely with other apps and is regularly updated!
I didn't get why honeycomb doesn't use folders.. but i guess its okay
I've been using Circle Launcher, but I think i should try others as well, because the circle launcher icon just isn't that pretty.

I use Folder Organizer on my phone, and love it. AM trying it on the tablet, but I'm having it FC when I try to set an icon on Labels (FO's name for folders).
ADW EX Launcher
I would love to have a folder on my home screen that maps to a certain location on my internal/external storage. That way I could store documents in a certain folder in my SD card or storage, and just have a shortcut to them.
Doesn't seem possible with any of the apps listed thus far.

Because you have space for 240 app shortcuts.
Hey guys, just figured I should let you guys know there is a beta for folder organizer 3.4 available from their website (not the Market) that is optimized for Honeycomb. It shows as being used on a Xoom but I'm using it now on my Tab 10.1 without any issues, figure it should work fine for you guys too.

I've been trying to install Lookout as a system app on my kids LG Optimus S. (He keeps deleting it from the market). Every attempt gives me a f/c. Tried moving Lookout using the built in feature with Titanium. Also tried using ES File Explorer to move the apk to the system/app folder. Any suggestions?

It was not made as a system app so you would need the normal apk with all the lib files. To be honest even if you did he/she would just use the same thing to remove it. I would just install a app locker and then lock the apps so they can't be removed
Try installing an App Locker app that will protect the app with an key code and will prevent uninstallations from occurring.
Smart App Protecter is a good one and is free on the Market.
Thanks for the tips. Will give it a shot.
