Show more than four icons in folders? - General Questions and Answers

Hi all.
I was just wondering if it is possible to show more than four icons in folders on the android desktop?
I sometimes have apps in the folders and have no idea they are in it until I open the folder.
Thanks!

Large icon widget

Is there a widget which essentially just links to an app and lets us choose an icon for it, but takes up a full 1x1 on the screen and hides the name?
Or any other way to achieve this in launcher pro?

Desktop visualizer does exactly this. Also in many more widget sizes.

Works very well, but there doesn't seen to be a way to add folders. Any idea is it possible?

SiMiFolder.
I don't really like the way SiMi manages the files inside the folder. I prefer a full popup of all the apps instead of a tiny horizontal bar which has to be scrolled...

Changing the icons in the app drawer?

Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone knows of an app which can change the icons in the app drawer? I've tried many apps but all they do is change the home screen icons. Any help on how to do this would be very much appreciated.

This function may be possible by switching to a different launcher, but I do not know which launcher would be capable of doing this. Usually the images in the drawer are read directly from the apk, and the apps which change the icons on the home screen can get around this by making a widget with the specified icon, which points to the application.
If there are only a few applications you want changed, it is possible to change them the hard way, by extracting the apk, changing the icon in the "/res/drawable-?dpi" folder, and then installing the new application by hand. (It will no longer be signed, so you will have to go to allow this in Settings > Applications > Unknown sources)
I don't think any launchers are capable of changing app drawer icons. Looks like I may have to do it the hard way

You can use go launcher which has option to change icons.. All U need is an icon pack..

Launcher pro can change app drawer icons,as can adw launcher. Just get an icon pack...or better still, make one. It's easier with launcher pro.

I'm using adw launcher and it can't change the icons. I have a really cool icon pack, and it changes the icons... but not all of them.. so everything doesn't match. On adw you can't manually change the icons of an individual app. I'll give launcher pro a go

Try LiveHome. With this launcher, you can manually change the icon and also label name of any app in appdrawer.
Cheers man. It won't recognise my icon pack though, but still, it's the first launcher I've seen that can change the app drawer icons

I finally posted in 2 forums last night, asking if anyone knew ANYway to, but still no answers at 1 &was told that only thing possible is there are some apps that change icons &let u change labels on Home screens only, at the other. I'm gonna try this right now. Thanks ALOT!!!

When i press long a Icon in the Drawer this comes direct on my Desktop, no Options , the Options are only at the Desktop!
Why ??
Nova launcher just got an update, now to change an app drawer icon (to a picture from gallery and hence a uzip, or from an apk) long press on the app icon in the draw. Drag it to the edit symbol. Click the app icon in the edit popup. Choose icon as desired!

How do I add new widgets...

to the list of those available on the lockscreen? Just to be clear, the list of available widgets is limited on the lock screen.

You'll need a third party lockscreen that supports all widgets. With the stock lock screen, that ability needs to be included in the .apk. Perhaps you can send a message to the developer of the app and ask them for lock screen widget support.
Good to know. I was hoping I could use root explorer to drag from one folder to another so the lockscreen could see the widget.
