Hi.
I want to be able to have a bigger icon on the home screen. I am using Folder organizer to organize my apps into categories on the home screen but I want the icons for the folders to be 3 by 3.
Is this possible?

Desktop Visualizer does that

Description
Version: 1.5.5
Organize your Android applications using labels
You can create a label shortcut (or a widget) with a custom icon on Android home (long touch on home and select shortcut)
1.5: widget support, if you have "Apps label" bug please use widgets instead of shortcuts
I'm using Android Mate.
Organises your apps, has a file explorer, and an installer... 3 in 1 app.
this + titaniumbackup = easy and organized backups ( apps organizer integrates directly into it )
Folderorganizer is nearly the same : Organize Applications, Bookmarks and Contacts using labels and create home folders with custom icons.
Okay so you know how can you make a folder Widget on your home screen?
I want to do that and make a folder for Media, Internet, Utility, etc but I can't rename the folders. They all just say "Folder" is there a way I can rename it to "Media" or whatever I want?
If not is there a widget that does the same thing, but lets me rename the folder icons on my home?
Long press and hold on the folder title bar will allow you to rename folders
Took a, while to find that out

Holy crap thanks. That's kinda weird. I though you would long click the Folder Icon itself (but that's to move/delete it)
PS There is an App for XDA?

There sure is
go to the XDA-Portal and scroll to the bottom of the page and there is a link for the Android XDA App
Is there an app or widget that allows me to place shortcuts into the homescreen where they can side-scroll to view more shortcuts? Like side scrolling on MIUI notification bar here at 0:30 of the video.
SiMi Folder
in addition widgets of Folder Organizer or design options in Sweeter Home launcher (still in beta).
Thanks. Downloading now and giving them a try. Am liking SiMi folder.
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

Is there any way with the stock launcher to create a folder in the app drawer containing multiple items that can be copied to a home screen and then have the folder contents on the home screen update when the folder contents in the app drawer are updated?
Thanks!

When updating apps the apps in folders, app drawer and home screen all get updated automatically.
Good luck,
Have a great day!
Thanks. Maybe it's me but I'm not seeing that. As an example in the app drawer I have a folder called Entertainment. It contains thinks like the Netflix, HBO, Showtime, etc.. apps. I've dragged that folder to a home page screen. If I download and add the Hulu app and use the edit function to add it to the Entertainment folder in the app drawer I don't see the Hulu app in the Entertainment folder I dragged to the home screen...
Chrome..is there a way to shortcut my entire bookmaks list through 1 home screen icon? Im sick of going through the dots bookmark thing everytime i want to see a new site.
I used to use Cmarks before Google blocked the Api
With Nova launcher, yes.
(Using it for DuckDuckGo; no reason it cannot be done for Chrome)
Is it like a widget in the launcher?

Nope.
Just like a normal single icon on home screen (for the folder inside which are the shortcuts).
You can modify the icon for the main folder icon & the inside shortcut icons as you please.
Several shortcuts can be saved this way with either horizontal card panning or vertical scroll of shortcuts; background colour & transparency adjustable.
So that's close to what I've done as a temp. A folder with shortcuts in it. Cmarks was glorious cuz it had everything in a nice tight list and syncd with Google bookmarks automatically. It was like you bookmarks bar in 1 icon. I so miss this functionality.
