Hey guys pretty much I'm looking for a way to get my windows 8 desktop icons to merge into a folder and the folder icon displays the shortcuts inside grid style, and if you single click or hover over it, it expands showing the shortcuts inside the folder. Pretty much like iOS and Android.
It's because I want to merge all my gameshortcuts into 1 desktop folder without having to open the folder just to choose the game. Just for styles

I've been using the PHMShell.dll to create folder Icons on my Magician
Works well but I would like a larger selection of Icons.
Has anyone got a better software option than this ?
I've uploaded the PHMShell.dll & Icon folder if anyone wants it, you can copy & paste the Icons to any folder on your device.
I am a pretty big noob when it comes to tweaking the system myself and stuff so I was hoping someone could help me out with this. I was using a theme on MIUI that I really liked, but left MIUI to go to CM for a couple reasons. I didn't like ADW so am using launcherpro which I really like so far, but I'm not a fan of the stock icons. I downloaded the theme I really like from MIUI and extracted the icon folder so that I would have the icons saved locally on my SD. It's essentially just a folder of .pngs. Can anyone tell me how to apply the icons I want to launcherpro directly through the system? I know with MIUI you just have to go in to a folder, paste the icon, and name it as the process. Was wondering if this was even possible on CM.
Thanks for any input someone might have!
Where do you want to put the icons in LP? in the dock or on the homescreens?
Dock: Long press on the dock spot - choose change Icon - Custom Icon and pick the icon you want from wherever you saved them on your SD card..
Homescreen: Long press on the homescreen - choose Shortcuts - pick application you want the shortcut for and then when the Edit Shortcut menu comes up - touch the icon and then select whatever icon you want from wherever you saved it on your phone.
Hope this helps...

Yeah, thanks a bunch for the response. I actually knew about that feature, but the reason I was asking was because that would take some time for like the 50 icons I wanted to change so I was wondering if there was a folder I could just make the edit in to be quicker.
Ahh ok
nope nothing I'm aware of
Extract all the folders from the apk onto your desktop or elsewhere to double check, but I'm pretty sure they are in the drawable-hdpi-v4 folder. All you would have to do is rename your icons to the names already existing in that folder and insert, recompile and boom, you're set.
Or if you'd rather not use apktool, you may be able to do it through an archiver as a shortcut. The phone might reject the apk if you try to install it though, but it should work.

Hi, I want to make a folder with games to make my desktop more better. There will be folder when i will open and it will be all games, like in this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycUH7N9ZsfE 0:52
Anyway, i don't want to do it by FolderOrganizer, because it make folder different, i like how big is that. BetterCut and Desktop Visualizer can't make new folder icon, only Contacts, Bookmarks and more of that crap
Someone said, when I will open the folder, long-time press on the title of folder, I could change the name of folder and icon. But i can change only an icon. I have ROOT access and T-Mobile G1
Can someone help me?

G'day there, I have a quick question:
Is there a way to add shortcuts to apps to my homescreen as just a line of text? I'm using Regina Launcher because it allows different styles for every screen, and its a really neat creativity tool, but I'd like to push it further.
I'd like to be able to put just a line of text (or a long transparent icon with a text graphic, im not fussy) on my homescreen as a shortcut to the app. Is there a way?
Thanks in advance for any input.
I think you can download an icon pack with icons looking like texts (and not pictures), then choose the option on launcher to not show shortcut's name.
