[Q] live folders app?

is it possible to have folders on your homescreen like the iphone does? instead of having a plain boring folder icon, can we have an icon that shows all the icons inside of the folder?

I use Apps Organizer. Doesn't do exactly what u want, but does provide u with the ability to select ur own icon. Perhaps look into Folder Organizer. Seems like I have seen a screenshot showing what u r describing. Both of these apps are available in the market.

Try with SIMI Folder its great

Go launcher has this feature in app drawer though, not sure if this feature is available in homescreen...

[Q] Change Icons in App Drawer?

Is it possible to change the icons within the App Drawer? I figured out you could just edit each .apk file when rooted, but I don't know for sure how to do that. And maybe there is just an easier method with a ROM. If the MIUI ROM would have that kind of option it would be awesome!
Also, Go Launcher EX (and probably more launchers) is capable of putting apps into folders in the app drawer. The icon of the folder is then a kind of preview of the apps within it. That is not really that bad, but it would be nice to be able to change the Go Launcher EX folder icons as well. Since there is no .apk file for the folder to change it with, I can't think of a way to do that.
In short, what I want is this: being able to create folders in the app drawer and change all icons (and also remove text beneath the icons) in the app drawer, including the folder icon.
I know, I am a nitpick, but I just want it all to match .

To change the icons in the app drawer you need to edit each and every apk file and change the innate icon therein.

Ok, so no easy way?
And about my other questions? I know it is possible to create folders in the app drawer with Go Launcher EX, but what you see isn't really an icon, it is a preview of the apps within it. And I suppose I can't change that, but it would be nice.
Or if there is another launcher/rom that can create folder in the app drawer (and then change the icon of that folder), that's OK too.

[Q] 4x2 Folder

Hi
Does anyone know of a folder widget that will give me either a 4x1 folder or a 4x2 folder that I can drop apps into. Something like what SPB Shell 3D has.
Want to switch back to Launcher Pro but still want the folder wigdet that SPB Shell has
I tried Simi Folder but it's not really what I'm looking for....doesn't give 4x2 widget.
Thanks

try folder organizer

Thanks. I'll check it out.

I went through the same thing just a few days ago. Tried a few options, including Simi and Folder Organizer. But I also found Application Folder and liked that one best (Let's you do either the pop-up widget or folder widget)

Folder Icons????

Ok so you know how you can add a folder to your main screens, and then put other app icons in there. Well the folder is a stock manilla folder and i was wondering how we can change that icon to a folder icon of my choice. If anyone know how please let me know. Thanks

Simi folder widget can do that I believe

I'm using the folder organizer app. You can choose your own icons and then put your apps in categories. There is also another one called appcategories

If you use ADW Launcher, you can replace any icon you want by simply downloading themes from the market. Not to mention, ADW speeds the phone up and fixes that slow scrolling through the app folder and menus.

Plus one. Love the customization of adw.

Changing Icons

So i found the thread with all the icons in the world and got some i would like to use for my TF.
I have been able to use them on the folders i created with folder organizer.
Butttttt.. i have not been able to find a way to change the icons/create icons for installed apps.
I tried anycut and desktop visualizer but they make the icons smaller and have different font.
on my phone i used to use shortercut i believe but this is not available for tablets.
so how could i get this done?
any suggestions?
Thanks.

Folder Organizer can do it. Go to apps, select the app you want to change, select icon.

that only changes the icons you see in the folders of folder organizer doesnt it?
it doesnt let you change them and see them that way on the home screen.

You can change an icon for any app you place on the home screen so long as you use Folder Organizer to do it.
Go into Folder Organizer select your app and change it's icon to one you specify.
Next go to add an item to the home screen and go to more and select Folder Organizer Item.
Next select apps and select the app that you changed the icon to.
There you go, you should now have a custom iconed app on your home screen.

w00t, your right.. awesome!
Just what i wanted.
Thanks..

Glad you got it working. Incidentally, you can also change icons with ADWLauncher EX just in case your interested.
Cheers...

When I want to permanently change an icon (well not permanently since it can be undone) I use apk edit. Just type it in the search bar and it should pop up. Or you can just apply them with a launchers such as Go Launcher, Launcher Pro, and ADW
