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

The panda home organize apps by the initial letter's.
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

Android Launcher/App drawer

Is there an android launcher app which can replace the app drawer?
It really bugs me that the apps are in two places - on my desktop and in my app drawer, this makes the app drawer very messy and unorganized.
I've never understood the concept of showing one app in two places.
Maybe there is an app to disable app drawer - all apps show up on desktop, together with widgets etc. or another way would be to hide apps from the drawer in case they are already on desktop

I dont know if this what youre looking for but try to search "awd ex" in the market

[REQ] App drawer app

is there any app that can provide me an app drawer that sorts the app by different types/labels??
I am looking for something like the launcher pro app drawer but customizable that i can fit each into their own categories
Label 1
Label 2
etc

Try folder organizer

ADWlauncher has this feature I believe. It's a bit cumbersome at first though.

You can't actually put folders into the app drawer. Correct me if I'm wrong, because I would LOVE to. The app drawer is in desperate need of some attention in Android. I would like to see a "cube" drawer. You can scroll right to left like "cubed music player", and each side of the cube has a different category of apps, like a folder. Throw a little 3D animation, and you have yourself a nifty little app drawer.

Why don't you create folders with shortcuts on the desktop? I think the appdrawer is just a big container with all apps installed and is never meant to be a real launcher.

Try 'Go Launcher'. It's free on the Market.

Or maybe taghome I think

[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.

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?

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.
