I was wondering if there is a dev out there that created/could create a mod or an app that will allow me to create a folder in the app drawer like in Go launcher.
I love sense and i don't want a different launcher and this is the only problem that bugs me about the sense launcher and i don't wan't to have folders on my 'desktop' because I rather have widgets or icons there
a little bump for first page
definitely won't happen.
why not??
it is very organized and not everybody wants to have folders on the desktop screen

Find me the source code for the Sense launcher and I'll add that feature for you...
Or, you can try to add the function yourself...
On a serious note, you're most likely not going to get that feature unless you can find a way to back port it by use of apktool. Obviously you're a small voice in a big crowd and it's not likely that any knowledgable developers are going to take on the time consuming project to please you.
I don't mean to offend you, I'm just sarcastic...
Now, if you do want that feature then there have been some viable solutions offered to you in this thread already.
Friends,
I love all android launchers especially that has some 3d effects to it. Suddenly i came across two beautiful launchers, TSF and Next.
Frankly, l love both the launchers and i have both installed on my S5.
I have been searching the web to find some homescreen setup with one of these launchers and it's really hard to find them. So i decided to create this thread where you can share your 3d launcher setup with either of these launchers.
In case there are any new launcher with such an expectation and recognition, it will be included in this thread as well.
I will be posting mine soon....
Sorry!
Already a place for these!

Hi Guys,
I was playing with the free themes that you can download from the theme store. I would like to change the icons like installing another icon pack I know You can do it with the other launchers like Apex or Nova but can it be done with touch wiz?
Thanks,
Mike.

Hello all,
So I am coming from an iPhone. Back on android after 4-5 years. A lot has changed. I saw a lot of beautiful homescreens around and want to replicate those. But none of them have steps/settings/instructions.
I have Nova Launcher Prime installed and I know where to get Icon Packs. Can someone point me at any good resources/tutorials?
Cheers.

You can take a look at mycolorscreen for example. I'm personal using the launcher they published. It's called themer. You can find it on playstore.
You can't really 'theme' Nova Launcher, in that there isn't a button you press to apply themes. Everything is done manually.
You will probably need a combination of widgets, icon packs, and wallpaper to get the theme you want.
Nova Launcher is meant as a replacement launcher that is both simplistic and offering more options at the same time.

If your into themes, there are a lot of theme communities on Google+. Many of the themers including myself have been launching our themes to the Play Store. Mycolorscreen used to be popular, but its slowly dying and the site has been having tons of issues, not maintained from the looks of it. I would look at Google+, deviantart, behance, dribbble, etc. I always post instructions on the Play Store for my themes, it just varies from themer to themer on how detailed they want to be.
As far as apps go, Zooper widget is still popular for widget creation, but the new boy in town has been KLWP and KWGT, pronounced "Kustom Wallpaper" and "Kustom Widget". KLWP is a live wallpaper editor, essentially its a full theme creator with built in "one click" apply/backup. It allows for animations, formulas, touch input and much much more. The best part is that its a live wallpaper with low battery consumption that makes it super easy to setup themes without going through so much hassle of setting up everything. When it comes to theming nothing compares to KLWP out there right now. KWGT is KLWP's little brother which is focused on just widget creation but without the animation support since its not based on screens.
Nova is still the king of launchers in the enthusist area, since it sticks close to Googles design language but with tons of cool features.
I would say, go to the Play Store and find a themer's profile like mine or someone else, and click on one of their themes, and the Play Store will show similar apps on the Play Store which will give you a way to see themes similar to the one your selected. Zooper widget packs normally have zooper in the title of Play Store themes, same with KLWP and KWGT. So you can easily find themes by searching by those keywords. Google+....just search and you will find tons of people posting themes, tons of communities with FAQ and tutorial sections, so much help from other users and developers on there that its worth checking out.
Go to settings. Search themes. It will take you to a Samsung store with free themes. You can get many themes there thag will change settings... Keyboard... Messaging... Etc.. I personally like the material dark theme. You can search within the Samsung store.

Most of the teeming is done with widgets. The popular ones are UCCW and Zooper from the Play store. Once you have those installed you can search "zooper widget" or "uccw widget" and you will see different widgets for those apps.
There is a general Android Theme section on xda. There you will find all kinds of widgets and icons that aren't on the store. You can also browse other people's creations.

If you're into theme or fancy homescreen, try Buzz Launcher

KWLP takes some getting used to but there are plenty of tutorials to get you started.
Check out google+ communities. There are loads there specifically for themes, icons and widgets.

I was too at first. Watch some tuts on Youtube, its the best theming thing around right now. No point in using anything else really.
Try these tuts by Brandon Craft, great place to start. Gosh, I didn't have any video tuts when I got started, it was hard to learn:

Hello Reader! So, I don't know if there's a section for Nova 3i, but this is Nova 3 so I think it's related. I want you, the reader, to suggest me some custom fonts, premium fonts, themes and wallpapers/live wallpapers.
This will also help other readers that have Nova 3i, to find some of your suggested custom fonts, premium fonts, themes and wallpapers/live wallpapers. So this thread is useful in some way. Ofcourse, I will download them and also reply to you if i liked it/them, so afterall you will get my opinion too under each suggestion that the reader gave me.
I don't want any custom roms, or anything unrelated to themes, fonts and wallpapers. I also don't want to root my device, so please don't include anything related to rooting or modding. Only fonts, themes and wallpapers related links and suggestions!
Have a great day
I'm waiting for y'all suggestions and ideas!
