I thought I'd point out a great app that I have been using for a while.
It's called 'AppLauncher +' and it auto categorizes your apps and replaces the app drawer.
It just got a bunch of updates and is better then ever.
Check it out

Anyone who has jailbroken an ipod touch or an Iphone may have come across an app that is called categories. It takes the apps that you want and puts them into categories on your home screen so it is less cluttered.
Is there any app that has this type of function, whether on the home screen or on the sense app list?
I don't know of any way to categorize apps in your app drawer but there is a built in option to make folders on your homescreen.
There is an app called Apps organizer in the market.

I'm a little perplexed. There is no Genius Button shortcut in my app drawer, and I'm trying to make sure there never was one because I can't quite remember. My Genius Button no longer works either due to my fiddling around with the keypad system file, and I can't get it back.
The only way I can access Genius Button is to run it with Titanium Backup. Then, strangely, once I run it the first time, Genius Button appears in my app drawer as if it installs itself.
So, do you have Genius in your app drawer or not?
Yes I have one there. Phone is not rooted yet.
Nope, I don't. Not rooted, don't plan to.
I am rooted and no I don't have the icon, but the button itself works.

Yes I have a genius button in my app drawer. I am not rooted.
I'm rooted and have the button in my drawer. Are you using the standard Sense launcher, or an alternative? That makes a difference.
Apparently, the Sense launcher hides some apps/buttons, especially those related to Tmob apps. Try installing LauncherPro or ADW and see if the button is in those app drawers.

I'm rooted and have it in my appdrawer.
After I remapped my genius button the app appeared in the drawer.
Also just an fyi from my experience, freezing the genius apk with titanium backup caused sense to crash frequently

Huh. Well, I figured out what the problem was regarding the keymap file not getting GB to work. It turns out there was a permissions issue.
And, it appears you will see the Genius app in your app drawer only after you start the Genius app following a reboot. That's why some see it and other don't using the stock launcher.
That's interesting about the genius button..I never used it at all so it was never in my drawer but after I remapped it, its always in the drawer.

Ok, this is my first day with this marvelous device. I installed Tweet caster, as it was my go to twitter app on my EVO. After I installed Tweet Comb and became fascinated by it, tweet caster on the xoom just doesn't carry too far.
Right now, both are giving me notifications and it's annoying, but I don't want to uninstall caster, either. Other than a reboot, what will fix this issue? Can't you simply exit an app? Do I need an app killer? I've been told app killers are unnecessary with Android, but on my EVO I use the app killer all the time.

I don't use either app, but check the settings. You should be able to turn off notifications. In settings, apps, manage apps though you can stop an app. DO NOT USE A TASK MANAGER.
I agree that task managers that automatically kill apps are no longer required by android. However, in order to close apps easily I use an app called Active Apps, since a lot of apps tend to linger in the background. Put the widget on your desktop and it will give you a running tally of how many apps are running and allow you to opt to quit one or all of them.

I don't know if this will be easier for you, but if you have to kill an app you can also find the app in the drawer and drag it onto the "i" , which will take you to the same spot as finding the app in "settings/applications/manage applications/" then finding the app.

When i hit back button in the android market app,it doesnt show the latest app i have seen. I shows the first app in the list. It's troublesome to navigate in the market.

It is a very, very small thing..but I am bothered with the facebook app not following lollipop's open/close animations. Lol.
All apps close and open with the same animations, except facebook which just pops out of nowhere. I also got this issue with my gpe m8.
Is there any reason for this?
Sent from my SM-G920F using XDA Free mobile app
The app it self probably is not programmed to perform the app opening animation when you click on it. The app developer needs to program the application to follow the system app opening animation.
