folders - HTC One S

I'm not exactly used to a folder limit of 12 appps. Anyways of increasing the stock folder app to hold infinite apps like it used to be able to? I tried some on the market but they look like crap.

I think your only options are either folder apps (like Apps Organizer or Folder Organizer) or home replacements (Apex Launcher). Apex Launcher has good looking, customizable folder icons that can look either just like the HTC folders (square boxes with a 2x2 grid) or you can change them to circles or rounded boxes and have them display icons in a 3x3 grid or in a stack.
Of course if you use an alternate launcher, you miss out on all those great HTC Sense widgets.

Can you post screenshots of the launcher? I think we'd all like to have an idea of how it looks before we download it.
screen shots
attach the screenshots.
So what, exactly, is special about this launcher?
I like the concept. Great for users migrating from the iPhone, or those that want a simple interface. I downloaded it from the market last week, and have been playing around with it.
It places all your applications on a series of home (application) screens when first installed. You are then able to add up to 3 widget screens, which are placed to the left of the application screens. You can re-arrange your applications by grouping them into folders. These folders as well as your applications can be placed anywhere other than the widget screens, in any order. It doesn't have an apps drawer and so your wallpaper is visible at all times.
heyy dude!! I think itz too simple... i think an app drawer wid 3D wd b gud... N sum custom icons wid gud transition effects wd b gr8!!
Very nice.
Having an iPhone, this looks and feel just like it. Keep up the good work.

Can someone change the layout to fit the Wildfire's screen?
Meh. The ui is boring and ugly lol.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
I tried vlauncher the other day, from the Market. What it does, it does well. I would like to see it do more. Here are my two suggestions:
1. Allow shortcuts and bookmarks on the Widget pages. In the standard Android launcher, is very convenient to get to battery use or a weather bookmark with one press of an icon on the screen.
2. In your settings, have an entry for the column and row sizes. On the 7 inch screen of my Nook Color I would like more than 4 columns and 4 rows of icons on each screen.
If you add these two features I think I could use vlauncher every day.

[Q] Android: What's the most visually pleasing and productive launcher?

Hey guys,
I've tried ADW Launcher, Launcher Pro, Zeam Launcher, Launcher 7, Regina 3D, SPB Shell 3D, Android home and LG Home.
After trying all these, I still couldn't find a launcher that satisfies me. The biggest issue is that you can't fit a lot on the same home screen. Of course, you can add more home screens and change the 4x4 layout into more. But, with more home screens, it's hard to remember what is where and when you increase from 4x4 to 5x5 or more, the designs break.
Also, when you fill up the same screen with too many shortcuts(ie when all 16 slots are occupied), it becomes way too cluttered.
Visually pleasing doesn't really mean 3D. It's just the right kind of graphics.
Any solution to it?
i know - it's a really hard choice, as every launcher got it's problems...
i tried ADW Launcher, Launcher Pro and a few months ago i switched to Go Launcher, which - i must say - is my absolute favorite...
The best compromise for me is to sort the apps into categories. Go Launcher, for example, allows you to sort your app shortcuts into folders, then you can put shortcuts to these on your homescreen. I have 8 folders (Games, utilities, web, multimedia etc.) with icons sitting on my first home screen. Tapping one of those brings up a 'mini app drawer' containing a subset of your apps.
You can achieve the same thing with apps such as 'Folder Manager' and 'SIMI Folders' - these also have more customisation options for things like icons and backgrounds.

The Beginner's Guide to ADW

I've been seeing a lot of threads (not only here) about ADW and ADW EX, the different settings, how to do certain things, etc. I don't think Ander ever wrote up a documentation so here's my little guide.
Anyone that would like to add anything, PM me and I'll add it in.
Little overview of ADW
ADW (EX) is a home launcher replacement. What does that mean? Well the home launcher, usually just called launcher, is pretty much the main way to get around on your Android device. It's the first thing you see when you turn your device on and it is what all of your apps, folders, and widgets are displayed on. To relate it to something everyone knows just think of your Windows/ OS X desktop. You know the thing you probably stare at saying "What did I want to do?!" and is a cluttered mess of icons? Yeah that's your desktop. The launcher on your device is essentially the same thing.
Quick rundown of the settings
When you first open the settings menu, you will see a list of 9 options. The top 4 are the ones you will be tweaking and constantly going into.
Presets - Profiles of settings that are preloaded into ADW. You can also create your own. Presets are just quick and easy ways to switch different things like icon size, dock type, workspace size, etc. These are only settings, NOT layouts.
UI Settings - The foundation of your launcher. From here you will edit things like Icon size, icon backgrounds, Dock type, the amount of rows and columns your workspace has, the App Drawer, and ADW's Hidden Dockbar. These are the real customization settings.
General Behavior - Name says it all. Screen transition effects, gesture controls, and the way ADW interacts with your device's hardware is all found here.
Theme Preferences - Again, pretty self explanatory. From here you choose what custom ADW theme you want on certain things. You can set 1 theme to cover everything, or use separate themes for icons, the dock background, and the hidden dock.
Backup and Restore - Backs up and restores your settings and icon layout. This does not work with widgets (I believe)
Tips and Tricks
Resizing
To resize a widget, you simply long press a widget until the little pop up menu appears and then click "Edit." The resize feature let's you resize in 4 different diretions (up, down, left, right), kind of like in a Word document. I find this to be a lot better than LauncherPro's because LP forces you to resize diagonally. To have some widgets overlapping, go to ADWSettings > UI Settings > Screen and click the Overlapping Widgets option. After that you can now overlap any widget over another widget or icon. Just remember that if you want a certain widget/icon to be BELOW another widget, the item you want below has to be placed on the screen first. If not, then it won't work.​

[Q] Sensation without sense? (but no rooting or flashing rom's)

Can i not change the icons that are used in sense in one of the homescreens? i cannot get it done with the apps simi folder or folder organizer.
The icons are changed but the changes are not visible on my sense screen.
Does this mean i have to shut down sense to get my own favored icons on my homescreen?
And if that is so, how to shut down sense and install another icon organizer (and which one)?
I would look up different launch apps on market. Launcher pro is good ex launcher is good. They offer different ways to style ur home screen.
The most you can do without root is hiding parts of sense with other launchers and themes.
So i can't tell this phone of mine within sense that it should stop starting sense, but some other launchers will do that for me?
And again: it is NOT possible to change the icons within sense?
I managed it with Phlashcut, but then i don't have the icons available that i want to use.
edit: I guess this will do the trick
edit edit: With folder organizer i did it. Modify in the tool and place the icons on the homescreen as widget of the organizer.

[Q] Folder Management App for HTC One

Hello!
I've been searching for apps that will enable me to change how folders appear in the screen. I tried Nova Launcher and liked its "stacked" layout of apps that are in the same folder, and I've been trying to replicate that effect ever since (or any effect as long as its not the boring square with multiple icons layout).
I tried Folder Organizer, but it messes the layout as the icon is not aligned with the rows, and the font is different. Any other apps that blends well with Sense UI?
Thanks in advance!
