I hate all the App shortcuts being in a big bunch in the Apps Menu. Is there any good apps that I can use to allow me to make folders I can sort them into ?
I would like to root my Xoom and put a newer version on but I don't get all the tech speak and jarganisum now.
Thanks
Most launchers support folders, but folders are only on the home pages. I don't know of any launchers that allow you to sort your apps into folders.

Go Launcher did, but it didn't look as good on the XOOM so it went. . Was looking for a simple app.

It wouldn't be a simple app. It would have to be a launcher that supported it.
Well this one doesn't need a launcher. I tried it didn't like it. The layout was'nt what I wanted. Also it tried to be to much.
But deff no launcher needed.
''Application Folder'

For serious, I think you should the Nova Launcher, you can create "tabs" with it and organize the way you want the apps, these tabs are the "apps" and "widgets" by default, but you still can create a tab called "games" for example! Good luck.

I was going to suggest the MIUI launcher but then remembered we never got one that supports the Xoom.

Has anyone found a way to sort apps in GR-11?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056542
I didn't see anything addressing app sorting in the link that you posted?
Search for Touchwiz AppSorter in the market. If it says database error after you run it, just clear the TouchWiz data (gonna reset your launcher though) Drove me nuts for about 20 minutes till I figured it out lol!

I got the database error with that app. I cleared the data, it didn't fully sort the apps. It left the original first page of apps, then sorted the subsequent pages.
Is there a way to not only sort ALL apps, but to make it re-sort when you install a new app without losing you 7 screens?
Also, has anyone figured out how to choose your home screen? I only want 3 screens, but I want screen 2 to be "home" not 3.

Use a different launcher until it's fixed? GR is still in beta. And until it's out of beta expect there to be bugs.

He linked you to that thread because that's where your question should've been asked instead of making a new thread.
Go to Settings> Applications> Manage Applications>All>TwLauncher>Force Stop then Clear Data...but it will reset your home screen...you'll have to customize it again...

I just swapped over to Launcher Pro.....everything is sorted nicely now!
I went with ADW free. Works great so far. Loving GR-11.

Go Launcher EX sorts it well.
Launcher pro for the win..

The TouchWiz app sorter from the market has recently been updated to support TouchWiz 4.0. Therefore you can now use it on your GR-12 ROM without getting that database error .
Hey guys and gals,
Could not find a topic on this when it came to the Transformer and Honeycomb. What applications are you all using to creating folders with honeycomb? I have not found any thus far that seem to fit the bill for me so thought I would ask the masses.

Try File Manager HD for Honeycomb

I think the OP meant app folders on the homescreen. File Manager HD is great, but it doesn't do that. I'm just trying out Simi Folder Widget, but it's too soon for me to say if it's any good.
I've been using apps organizer. Open the app and organize your apps into the categories/labels. Then on home screen you add each as a widget.

I have been using the Folder Organizer app from the same makers as that app. I think its just a skinnied down version of the app organizer.

+1 on that! It interacts nicely with other apps and is regularly updated!
I didn't get why honeycomb doesn't use folders.. but i guess its okay
I've been using Circle Launcher, but I think i should try others as well, because the circle launcher icon just isn't that pretty.

I use Folder Organizer on my phone, and love it. AM trying it on the tablet, but I'm having it FC when I try to set an icon on Labels (FO's name for folders).
ADW EX Launcher
I would love to have a folder on my home screen that maps to a certain location on my internal/external storage. That way I could store documents in a certain folder in my SD card or storage, and just have a shortcut to them.
Doesn't seem possible with any of the apps listed thus far.

Because you have space for 240 app shortcuts.
Hey guys, just figured I should let you guys know there is a beta for folder organizer 3.4 available from their website (not the Market) that is optimized for Honeycomb. It shows as being used on a Xoom but I'm using it now on my Tab 10.1 without any issues, figure it should work fine for you guys too.

Hello,
They know how to sort the applications menu?
Separate by games, applications, etc.
As far as I know you can't do that. I am not sure if there is a launcher or a rom that will allow that though.

Too bad.
The LG 2X if you let it
thanks
I believe that you need a different launcher. The built-in ADW Launcher (CM7) allows you to separate your apps into catalogs.

GO launcher allows you to use folders and uninstall applications straight from the app drawer.
Hi guys, I am using the epic 4g with randomrom 2.2 phoenix and it uses the swipepad launcher. A friend of mine was telling me about the adw launcher ex and was really excited about it. If I install it, will it mess up my rom? Any help is appreciated
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
No, you won't mess up anything. Download what ever launcher you like. After you've installed ADW you'll have two launchers (ADW and Swipepad). You can switch between these two by pushing your phones home button.
If you just want to use ADW, but not uinstall Swipepad, you choose "Use as default" and you'll only be using ADW. If you want to go back to Swipepad then go to "Manage Applications" and uncheck "Default settings" (or something like that).
Alright cool. So what is the significance of using a specific launcher with a particular rom? Do certain launchers work better with certain roms and phones or is it all user preference?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Some launcher look prettier, some skipped the good looks for better performance and some have special features.
It's mostly user preference though.
Just browse through the market and try them all out if you want.
Cool thanks for your input as well. I might try another one. I really don't see anything wrong with this one other than it not having gingerbread features, then again I am only 2.2 so it wouldn't. Does anyone know how to "thanks" someone's post while on the xda app on your phone?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I don't think thats possible in the free xda app.
Ok guys I've looked everywhere but found nothing. I am looking for an app that simply sorts home screens apps in some order. I don't want one that makes folders. I want to just be able to use the app to sort every now and then and just close it afterwards. Thanks

I am confused I guess. I don't understand exactly what you are looking for. You want an app to organize your apps on your home screen? Can't you just just organize them how you want them on your home screen? Maybe I don't understand exactly what you are looking for.

Action Launcher gives an alphabetical list similar to windows phone.
If I understand correctly, you want an equivelant to the windows shortcut for "sort by name/type/date modified" for your homescreen, or for your appdrawer.
I echo the thoughts of others in asking why. It's not like your homescreen can accumulate dozens of apps the same way a desktop can pick up dozens of shortcuts, or that they are difficult to get rid of or sort yourself. Folders work fine... also, there are widgets such as Glovebox and CircleLauncher which will allow you to create live groups of self-hiding icons.
but Android is an open OS, so the simple answer is, if there's something you want that doesn't exist, just build it yourself. this, however, seems to be something that would be at the launcher level, not the level of a widget or app.
Exactly. But for people like me who hate using app drawer I think there should be some kind of stock setting
