[Q] Adding custom tab in app launcher - HTC Sensation

Hello there!
I've got a question about if it's possible to add a tab/section on the sense 3.0 app launcher.
There are already three tabs; "All apps", "Frequent" and "Downloaded". If I hold on one of them, I can re-arrange them, but is there a way to add my own so that I could put all of my games in one tab?
Sorry about my crappy explanation.

You can just rearrange them...
Not only in the drawer but also e.g. in the Music app...
Adding is not possible...
For organizing your apps in folders you have to put folders onto one of the seven home screens - either with HTCs standard folder feature or get one of the multiple app / folder organizer apps from the market...
I for example use "Auto App Organizer" which puts installed apps into predefined folders automatically. Pretty handy and you can manually override...

All apps to home screen app?

I want to add all my apps to the homescreen and then most into folders. Any apps to add all to the homescreen?
And please don't suggest an app that makes their own folders bc they take much longer to open then the default folders. Thanks

what app and widget organizer do you use?

for app organizing i've found some apps. the one I use automatically organizes my downloads, but i would like an organizer for my widgets. for exemple an app has 3-4 widgets, and if there is an organizer to show the app and then the widgets it has I would like to have it!
no need, sort alphabetically
widget i arrange them the way i like it, and resize it the way i see fit on the screen
let see if I can explain I press menu->add->widget and here i see all the widgets alphabetically. I ask if there is an app that creates a folder with all the widgets for the same app.
CM7 roms does this.

AppWidgetPicker does exactly what you want but you need to be rooted to be able to push it to /system/app
it's a great find
however, i'm afraid that might slow down the system even more when trying to bring up the list of widgets available
i have waaaaaaaaay too many apps installed, everytime i try to add a widget it takes a loooong while to come back with the full list, as it needs to scan an populate the widget pick list
so if i add such an app, it will just add even more complexity to the pick list
scan, then filter, then populate, then group
.... not really in the mood of waiting 2 minute for the widget list to show up

[Q] Launcher with sort

Hi Guys,
I'm looking for a launcher (preferrably free) which has the option of custom sorting or grouping in the app drawer (or as a worst case, option to hide apps). GoLauncher provides an option to add folders but i find there is a bit of lag when I open the folder and also the app drawer settings don't simmer down to the folder level, so even though I'm seeing 5x5 apps on the app drawer, it is still 3x5 on the folder lever.
thanks for any help
Try "All Apps Organizer".

[Q] Folder of apps in the apps menu

Im currently using Go Launcher EX to create folders inside my all apps folder (app drawer, apps menu, call it what you think its best).
Is there another app that can do that? (Just create the folders, no need to change the homescreen or any other function)
Thx
No apps for this?
or place the apps on the apps and the folder will show up. i have that too.
I use "Apps Organizer" (free in the Market) to organise my apps in folders on the homescreen. Works perfectly! And I think there are more apps like this, just search for "app folder"...
Greetz,

[Q] rename apk

I'm not much into developing apps. Mostly basic ROM stuff but changing the apk name should be possible. I'll look around and see.

If you just want to get different names with icons on your homescreens there are other options available as well.
Some launchers allow you to modify the app name and icon when you add it to your homescreen. Or allow you to rename a shortcut when you long press it (Go Launcher)
My current (AOSP) launcher does not have that feature. But I worked around it by using one of the many features of Tasker. Just create a task that launches a particular app. Give the task your preferred name and icon. And drag a "Task cut" widget to your homescreen for that particular task.
Another benefit of these approaches is that whenever you update the app through the Play Store you will not have to reapply you custom naming and icons. That can save a lot of time with many app updates each week! What may not be nice is that the apps will still show their native name/icon in the app drawer.
