App drawer organizer

I have a horrid amount of apps and I need a way to organize my apps
Was curious if there were any apps that are capable of organizing the app drawer with folders to sort the apps.
If there's no app for it is there a way to manually create folders like in WinMo's start menu.

Afaik there is no way to easily organize the drawer, i am currently using one of my homescreens as drawer with a app called "apps organizer" wich lets you create labels for apps and use those labels as shortcut with a popup menu containing all aps with that label

tell me if i'm wrong. cheers.

Apparantly I was wrong, extendedhome can organize the app drawer.

Dunno how good it is compared to other homescreen replacements though...
A better known home replacement capable of this is dxtop, this is not a free app though.

with launcher pro u can hide apps in your draw that u dont want to see

Thanks for all the suggestions I'm gonna go try some of them ... I use launcher pro and wasn't aware that out allows you too hide apps

dxTop has this capability as well. Used to be my favorite home replacement.

you could use ADW.Launcher or LauncherPro as home replacement
and then add an organizing app like Smart Shortcuts or Apps Organizer to the dockbar
this is genius in fact. i'm thinking about doing that myself!
no more need to spread essential app icons all over different home screens

That's what I'm trying to do minimize my home screens I'm already using Launcher Pro and I was looking at an app that is in beta just can't find the thread for it and can't quite remember the name it was like slip-something

You can also try quickdesk or power strip, extra home programs

organize apps in CORE ROM
Hi,
Can anybody help me, I would like to organize my apps, like on this pic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858418
I have that ROM, but cant find any place to make it like on the home screen !?
Maby its an app !??
(Small pic, of apps inside the folder/shurtcut) really like that feature.

seems to be a widget integrated in that rom.
take a look at your widget list. and if you still don't find it post the question in the rom thread ... good luck

Search the market for TagHome. Its a home screen replacement that allows you to organize your app drawer with different tags, really useful if you have lots of apps.

GO Launcher EX 2
Go launcher Ex available from the market for free offer iPhone like folders in the app draw and horizontal scrolling.

Thanks I have been using go launcher since its first introduction to the forums
The go launcher ex is great

[Q] Arrange apps in App Drawer??

Is there a way to organise apps in the app drawer? It is now just a collection of apps, but I like the idea of a totally clean homescreen (only widgets and dock), and an organised App Drawer.
It doesn't matter how the apps are organised. It can be with folders, different pages, whatever. But it has to be in the App Drawer. Is there an app/launcher/custom ROM that can do that?

Anyone? I know not many people want this, because they organise their apps on the homescreens, and the App Drawer is just a collection of all apps, but as I said, I really like the idea of a homescreen with widgets only, and an organised App Drawer with folders or different pages or whatever.

ADW Launcher has an option to create a catalog to group apps, but everytime you need to change catalogs, you have to press menu, then "choose group".
It´s nice, but it should have a better way to choose between the groups.

All apps organizer is what I use. If you use adw or launcher pro you can make it your app drawer. Works really well.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So..., that just replaces the App Drawer? That's fine to me, but I hope you can hide the 'real' App Drawer then. I still want my app drawer button in the middle + 2 icons on either side in the dockbar, but then the app drawer icon should link to that All Apps Organizer program.

You can set the option in ADW.Launcher so that there are arrows on the left and side of the bottom of the screen when you open the app drawer, then pressing those arrows you can switch the catalogs.

Just found out that Go Launcher EX has folder support. I'm starting to like this launcher more and more! Nobody knows it though, so I couldn't find much information about the folder support in app drawer.

Folders within app drawer.

Hello all. Currently I have a Droid x as a backup phone and have the gingerbread leak installed. There is a nice category feature that allows you to put the apps in your drawer into, well, categories. Are there any apps that allow you to do this?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App

Some different homescreen apps allow you to put things into categories, but you'll lose HTC widgets or launcherpro widgets if you use that.
Go Launcher can do this, I think.

i remember an app called 'App Folders' on the incredible...maybe that will work for the thunderbolt too.

I use an app called Folder Organizer.
It allows you to tag apps, and then you an put a widget on your home screen(s) that is anything from an icon that will open up into a view of all apps tagged with a specific label, or even a 4x1, 4x2, 4x3 or 4x4 'window' with those apps.
It does a lot more, but I specifically use it for the nice folder organization (including allowing you to order the apps yourself) ability.

Ill give it a look. Thanks. I'm on adw ex and I really don't want to change from this launcher since its so nice. Ill check out that app though thanks.

Try taghome, you may like it also.

Go Launcher EX has support for folders and also hiding icons of applications you dont want. They also list applications by horizontal sliding list instead of vertical like in sense and stock.

[Q] How to make a FOLDER in the APP DRAWER?

I've been trying to figure out how to sort apps in the APP DRAWER by putting them in the same folder without installer any other launcher. I am talking about the APP DRAWER not in the HOMEPAGE. Thanks!!!

IPhone 6, not the plus because it bends.

You need to find a launcher with this option. I don't know any on the top of my head.
Sent from my One A0001 using Tapatalk

I use Apex Launcher and it has that option.

They should include this option to the stock Launcher in a future update. I don't want to use another launcher.

Don't hold your breath.

Many launchers are superior to the stock one's. I use Nova and its fast and stable and can do what you are asking about.

Why you don't want to install another launcher?
Sent from my Bacon!!

Bcoz stock launcher has shell where I can add some widgets .. Separately without disturbing home screens

As other have said, you need another launcher to achieve this, I would recommend Apex or Nova launcher. So now it's your decision on which poison you prefer, grouped apps or widgets in shell.

Nova, apex launchers are eat less battery and ram than some stock launchers.

I know this is old but I have this in Nova Launcher Prime
If you're trying to move several folders into a tab at a time:
All you need to do is go into app and widget drawers inside of nova launcher settings (2nd button from the top), then scroll down inside of the new menu until you find "Drawer Groups". Select that and then you will see two columns: tabs and folders. In the "Tabs" column, click on the tab you want folders in, and all your folders will be listed above the apps in the list. Check any folders and apps you want, then you're done.
If you don't have many folders to deal with at once, then it is much more efficient to just open the app drawer, click and hold a folder you want, select edit, then check the tab you want. However, you have to uncheck the current tab before saving or it will stay in both the new and old location, and this does become inefficient when you have almost 100 folders and 8 tabs holding over 350 apps

Anyway to bulk move apps from the app drawer to home screen?

Just restored all my apps to a new phone using Titanium but the only drawback to that manoeuvre is all 150 apps are in the app drawer now and I need to drag each shortcut individually to the home screen. Is there a setting to tell Titanium to put shortcuts on the home screen?
Is there anyway now for me to bulk move apps from the app drawer to home screen?
There must be an app, an exposed or play store app that can do this, my phone is rooted - its a Galaxy Note 2 touch wiz 4.42.
For future reference is there anyway to backup my home screen folders and app shortcut setup when moving to a different phone/hardware?

No one?
Did a good search on play store but the only thing I could find was app drawer replacements

Is there any exposed app that can do this?

I have discovered a way using Nova launcher, install nova before restoring apps from titanium and in the settings tell nova to put a shortcut on the home page for newly installed apps. Then when titanium restores the apps a shortcut will be placed on the homescreen for each app, remember that is Novas homescreen not the vanilla launcher of your phone.
I use Nova now so all the homescreen app placements are restored with the app but maybe this may help someone.
