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.

Hey guys. I was just wondering if it is possible to "hide" apps in the app drawer. Mainly, I want to keep the critical apps that some apps depend on, but I don't want them to be seen in the app drawer... Some examples would be Voice Search, Voice Dialer, Call History, Clock, PDF Viewer, and Talk. I just like having an uncluttered app drawer, but the only way that I know of doing this is to delete apps.

There is an app in the market, i think its like "App vault" or something like that.
I can't remember who makes it. But I think it does what you are looking for.

Thanks, I'll take a look at it. If that doesn't work, is there anyway this could be ported to our phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540880
Just found out that App Vault disabled the app rather than hiding it. Unfortunately that would break apps the depend on the disabled app. One search I did, I found people who were able to hide apps by renaming the .apk to .bak, but that disabled the app.
bump.
anyone have any info on how to hide apps in your app drawer with default home launcher?
If you're using Launcher Pro Plus, theres a hidden apps feature.

ADW allows this as well. While the app drawer is open press the MENU button and then "Choose Group" > Create New Catalog and then set it up with the apps you want to be visible

Hey all, I've been trying to find an app/widget similar to the native android folder widget where you can drag and drop icons into the folder...but I want to use custom icons for those folders. All the apps I've come across do not have the drag and drop functionality.
Thank you for the input!

I see the option for activities and launcher actions, which one is used for creating folders?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Try Simi Folder. It's fantastic.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894005
its features are still being extended. So just go over to thread and make a request for the drag and drop functionality. The dev is pretty open minded about requests and suggestions. he's already implemented alot of users' ideas in no time
Hi Guys
For anybody wanting to organise their applications in folders on the main Launcher screen, give Smart Shortcuts a try, its probably the best App I have found so far, best of all its free
Was using circle launcher before and it was laggy. Smartshortcuts is way better and very fast for me. Thanks for the tip.

That's what I use
Apps Organizer for me. I use it with the LauncherPro dock -- I put the folder shortcuts in the dock, works great, saves space, and it's free

FYI, Folder Organizer is the pay version of Apps Organizer.
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:

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.

+1 on that I've been using folder organizer to completely replace my app drawer through 3 phones...then that plus desktop visualizer you can really customize everything

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!

I hate all the App shortcuts being in a big bunch in the Apps Menu. Is there any good apps that I can use to allow me to make folders I can sort them into ?
I would like to root my Xoom and put a newer version on but I don't get all the tech speak and jarganisum now.
Thanks
Most launchers support folders, but folders are only on the home pages. I don't know of any launchers that allow you to sort your apps into folders.

Go Launcher did, but it didn't look as good on the XOOM so it went. . Was looking for a simple app.
Sent from my MZ604 using xda premium
It wouldn't be a simple app. It would have to be a launcher that supported it.
Well this one doesn't need a launcher. I tried it didn't like it. The layout was'nt what I wanted. Also it tried to be to much.
But deff no launcher needed.
''Application Folder'

For serious, I think you should the Nova Launcher, you can create "tabs" with it and organize the way you want the apps, these tabs are the "apps" and "widgets" by default, but you still can create a tab called "games" for example! Good luck.

I was going to suggest the MIUI launcher but then remembered we never got one that supports the Xoom.
