Okay, I'm baffled by this.
I am running the latest version of NOVA Launcher (Prime) and am trying to place apps in the Drawer into the various tabs I have created.
However, when I try to drag an app from it's place in the "All Apps" tab to a different tab, Nova immediately tries to place it as a shortcut on a home page.
What am I missing?
Thanks!
Figured it out
Okay. Just figured it out.
Apps are placed in the tabs/groups within Nova settings>Drawer>Drawer Groups, not from the app drawer itself.
Not particularly intuitive, but problem solved!
Thanks.

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...

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.
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.

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?

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
I really like a tidy phone. I like everything in one spot. I know I can create app links on the desktop. But i typically dont create any app links on my desktop. Does anyone know of a way or a replacement app drawer that would allow me to create Web link shortcuts in the app drawer. Even apps that are available on the app store, if I could get a Web page to work the same, the less apps installed, the better battery life and performance of the phone.
Also I do know about bookmark apps, but I don't like an app to hold the bookmarks. I want the bookmarks right in the app drawer.
Nova Launcher (Might need Prime)
Nova Settings > App & Widget drawers > Drawer Groups
Open the Folders tab, Create a new folder and name it "Web Links" or whatever you want it called
Now there is a folder in the Apps drawer called "Web Links"
Long press it, and drop it on the homescreen
Fill it with all your web links, check in the app draw, it should also be receiving those links
Once you are done, delete it from the homescreen, and it should remain full of your links in the apps draw
Tested and working fine here with Nova Launcher Prime 5.0 beta 3 (Likely works with the latest stable too)
I've tried many launchers but can't seem to find the one I can setup to my desire. Nova, Apex, Action, Smart, Go, Trebuchet, etc. nothing really seems to give me that. My requirements are very specific :
1. I should be able to get a clean home-screen, no app shortcuts, no widgets, no search bar/button, no dock or App drawer icon even.
2. Three to four gestures needed so that I can bring the app drawer, the phone app and Google Cards.
3. The App Drawer needs to be categorized alphabetically.

In the pictures the 2 drawers are of Trebuchet and Solo. I want the design of the drawer to be like Solo, but I don't like its home screen, I can't remove the search bar or move it or resize it, neither can I remove the dock. The drawer of Trebuchet I find very crammed up.
Nova gave me most of it except the drawer and also Arrow launcher was good but couldn't get a clean home-screen.
So free/paid, any recommendations ????
Hey guys, new here. I have an s8 with nova launcher and lmt launcher overlapped comfortably.
I'm currently organizing my 30+ apps, and after looking at lmt and game launcher, I got an idea.
Question: is there an app that organizes other apps in folders, but provides a shortcut to said folder rather than showing it as an icon on the main screen?
Goal: use folder shortcuts that show a screen of organized apps. Example: make game launcher a button the lmt menu, and open up an app from the game launcher menu
