I'm using cm10.1 on my who 4g lte and want to know if there is a way to lock created groups on my phones home screen. I created a category of financial apps, each credit card etc, and would like to lock that one particular group. Possible? If not I like the idea

App locker apps
If you want to lock all your personal things then for this you have to download App locker from your Company App store.

Is there an app folder that can categorize apps? Just like Iphone 4, where you drag the app to the folder, it automatically categorize it, so as to save space... Thanks
Where are you looking for this folder to be? Home screen? Application drawer?

I use ADW Home, and there's a great new feature where you can categorise your app drawer... basically means you can hide stuff you don't want to see... you can't just hit one folder to see the hidden stuff, it's like press munu, then activate a different drawer group, but it's easy enough.
There are also some aps out there that do what you want, but I can't say what they are, nor have I used them.
i have ihome, this app mimic the iphone 4, the folder feature is very disappointing. but atleast its there...(no auto cate on droid.)
the home screen is 89% like iphone. atleast they gives you the iphone homescreen only it isn't smooth as.
Try FolderOrganizer

Home screen, just like ICr*p 4 when you tap on the folder, the sub-folder appears.
You can add folders on the home screen just like widgets then drag the applications inside it.

There is an app I think called apps organizer that lets you categorize apps, then you can add widgets to you're screen that look like an app shortcut, for a particular category, and when you tap it a folder with shortcuts to all apps in that category opens. I think it is apis organizer, I will go check in market. I had it before the last time I reset and debranded, actually never thought to reinstall it until just now.

Is there a way to categorize apps into folders Within the App drawer?
i dont really like cluttering up the homescreens but i would like to neaten up the app drawer as its full of crap that i hardly ever use but would still like to keep on the phone (google goggles, wikitude, google skymap) things like that
I use the feature in adw. The only improvement I would like to see is an easier way to switch drawers, perhaps icons at the top or bottom of the app drawer.

Someone is looking for a Yahoo Fantasty Football app....with better UI
Okay how about an app that uses your phone's GPS to find all grocery stores in your area. From there you can type in the name of an item and it would cross reference the prices of all the surrounding stores and give you a list of all the prices. With the economy being in the crapper and money getting tight, it seems like it could be a killer app.

Google Maps + Google Shopper already do this to the best knowledge they can as stores do not show all food costs online.
since you say u r new, i suggest you to go for an idea which has already been made and put your flavor on it, once you get your hands on it, u can make something original. I like a fully functional app that uaes the proximity sensor to operate differnt functions, there is already an app, but it has flaws

Sport speaker an app that send you a push notification of your team scores, it with holo style.
For example you mark an sport, an league or one team (in the different competitions) what would you like and the app sent you a push notification with the score at the end of the match

Make a good porn app.
An animated nyan cat widget (with a mute toggle) would be nice...
Haha I was thinking in some app what make raffles. For example: many people get together at an raffle, then each person gives their numbers to participate, then your Android randomly chooses a number and sends a SMS to the winner.
You can read the numbers from a file.
Clock in notification panel
Hi, I would like to see a clock developed which would sit in the notification panel. There would be an optional icon displayed in the status bar.
I like to keep my wallpaper clean and it would be useful to drop the notification panel down and see a customizeable digital clock. It should open the alarm or calendar When tapped.
Good luck with any project undertaken.

Seems a nice idea. Hehe. I like the grocery idea. Any Other suggestions?

I was just thinking of an app that help me make a reminder for bill, and it must support taking OCR of the bill details.
I know there is one in the market, but doesn't work like what I want.
It should work like the business card reader, where it knows which part is a person's name, which part is the company, which part is the address, the phone, the email, so on and so forth.
This bill app should let me "scan" the bottom part of my bill with the camera, where the payment details are (account number, amount, due date) and set a reminder for me on my google calendar.
How about an app Like the iPod Shuffles VoiceOver thing which tells you what song is playing?

i dont think is a hard thing to do but i think is always dependent to the app you use to play music, but is something i can see also.
The main idea of this post is to get ideas base on the needs of nowadays. Like when we are on the street, and we need that app for knowing the nearest grocery or something else wich could make our life easier. If anyone has time to think a little on what they need most, and think is missing, or an app wich they dont think is easy enought, thats mostly what i want to start building. I really liked some ideas here already stated, just 1 more week and i'm ready for building apps.
About porn apps , maybe after the serious stuff for fun lool
What about an app that shows any combination of chosen apps in tabs?
For example, you can put your favorite calendar app and your favorite task planner app in a single tabbed layout.
Or your music player and last.fm scrobbler.
Or Whatsapp, K9 Mail, and your SMS app all in a single three-tabbed meta messaging app.
Or Skype and Viber.
Etc.
It wouldn't take a lot of coding. You just need some code to frame other apps in yours, a settings screen to choose which apps you want to see, and a way to send a shortcut to your home-made app combo to your homescreen. If it's your first app it's a good idea to keep it simple.
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

My kids pick up my device and love to play games. That all fine except sometimes they click my mail or other apps. Is there a way to put lock screen on some apps, or all apps except X app etc? Maybe have a folder on the lock screen for apps that can be in a sandbox/ available to use without lock screen?
Of course there's a security aspect in that once someone is in they can move elsewhere so it needs to be a quarantined area.
Or add a second layer of security for some apps.
Anyone?

Like this?
Thinking of installing Nova launcher when my phone ships, but was wondering if features like "OK Google.." and searching online for numbers within the phone app would still work?
Also, has anyone with a Nexus 5 found a way to hide apps in the app drawer you don't want there, or at least make a folder? I really want to use the stock launcher, and it baffles me Google leaves out basic functionality to sort and organize your apps... if anyone found a way please let me know, or if root can fix this somehow. Thanks.
You'd have to wait for Kevin to put similar features if he decides to assuming he can mimic the new launcher. I think the new launcher is closed source.. maybe we'll get a kernel soon with always listening

For hiding the apps part if you want to hide one of the stock apps you can simply disable it in the settings? (Settings > apps)
