Categories type app?

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.

Creating folders with honeycomb

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.

Well, that wasn't really obvious from what the OP wrote...

+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.

[Q] Which folder app?

Thought it best to ask here, than to install/remove a thousand apps, till I find a good one!
Which app do you think is best for creating/ organising the app menu, perhaps as folders etc?
With the new Sense where it doesnt "fast scroll", its becoming tedious scrolling to find the app you want!
Thanks in advance!

I use application folder it seems to do well and easy to add and remove apps from the folder

Looks good, but doesnt seem to be able to create folders in the App menu (the standard android app list).
That is what Im looking for, mainly.

I use the Folder Organizer app. It's about US ~1.41 on Android Market or $1.50 on Amazon Appstore. It allows you to make widgets and folders which looks a lot like the iPhone folders. There's several good organizing functions to define label tags and shortcuts, etc.

Looking for a launcher

I am looking for a launcher which merges the home screens and app drawer. I want something where I have my home screens, but rather than press the app drawer button simply swipe to the side to find all my apps. Does this kind of launcher exist?

MIUI works like that.
And post this **** to Q & A

Yes search for TSF Shell Pro 3D v1.5.0.03 it's an awesome launcher.:good:

Maybe try the above rom. It's like I phone. It is annoying that Android have an app drawer. In fact it's stupid. But I guess it's a patent by Apple

But, it is not really a question - more relevant here I feel as it is to do with apps. Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I've tried MiHome. It does what I want, other than the fact you can't organise applications alphabetically.

Use Nove Launcher.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium App

That's the same launcher I'm looking for.... and I found it!
Apex Launcher.
What you need to do, is make folders and organize them into categories.
Then you put all the Apps in there.
You create the amount of Homescreens you want, and fill in with any Widgets you want.
You make the dock with your most used Apps... hold and click on "Gestures".
You make "Swipe Up" to "Show App Drawer".
Make any other UI changes, and voila!
PM back if you want more info/instructions.

I can also recommend tsf launcher although it's a bit expensive.

What's it called? I'm sure there's some like it knowing Android haha

Espier launcher has that feature too

[REQUEST][MOD][CleanROM2.1+]

Hi all.
I love the smoothness of the stock TouchWiz launcher. But one thing I absolutely hate is the FOLDERS.
The manila folders are hideous IMO.
I was wondering if somebody could mod a TouchWiz launcher, 5x5 to have the circle-style folder icons like the ones found in Nova and Apex launchers, with a stacked preview of the apps inside, preferably.
Would greatly appreciate if anyone could make this happen!!
Cheers,
ED :highfive:

+100 on this

Was pretty happy with an app called Folder Organizer. Make your folder look however you want, make your app look however you want and stack apps in folders by label. For $2 you can't go wrong with this app.

Cool!
Never heard of this app before. Downloaded it and replaced the folder icons with ICS colored blue squares. Looks much nicer.
Thank you for the info!
