Move Multiple Apps From Drawer To Homescreen Or Between Homescreens

Move Multiple Apps From Drawer To Homescreen Or Between Homescreens - General Questions and Answers

I just installed a new rom (MOAR) and I have to set up my device (Sprint Galaxy S5) again. I am using Nova Launcher if it matters. I need to move a lot of icons/apps back onto the homescreen from the app drawer and between different homescreens. I have searched for quite a while now at xda and across the web for a solution to this problem. I've found a lot of "not possible" answers on various websites. The closest supposed solution is to use folders. Even if that were a solution, I think you would still have to move icons individually into and out of a folder. The only thing that folders would possibly accomplish would be making it easier to drag the multiple icons across the edge/border to the next screen. Regardless, even folders won't help me because I need to move multiple icons out of the drawer and onto the homescreens.
I had an iPod Touch gen 3 at one time. It could do this using a jailbreak tweak called MultiIconMover. You just long-press an icon until they all begin to shake, then you tap multiple icons to select them. Then you move to a homescreen page and push the home button and it drops all of the selected icons onto that page. That was a few years ago. I can't believe that I could do something on an iOS device two or three years ago and I still can't do that same function on an Android device in late 2015. I see this same question asked over and over on various sites and no one seems to have an answer. Has no one really written an app for this or put it into a rom or launcher? It seems mind boggling that there isn't some way to accomplish this. I'm hoping that someone will see this post and can disclose the elusive app that can do this. If it doesn't exist, maybe someone can write it. :good: There are millions of apps and apparently this one doesn't exist.

You can do so in a touchwiz launcher.
Hit thanks if i helped you!

In touchwiz I see that I can create a folder in the drawer. I can then set the folder on the homescreen. However, I then need to manually drag the icons out of the folder and onto the homescreen, so that doesn't really accomplish much. If there was a method for mass emptying a folder and dumping it onto the homescreen, that would work.

I think next launcher has a modern in which you can just tap on icons and directly add them on the home screen

It seems that Nova Launcher 3 had this functionality, but they either removed it from version 4 or mine isn't configured properly. I can't find a configuration option to enable it. I'm not sure why they would remove the option.
Screenshot from v3. This menu comes up when you long-press the homescreen. If you select "apps", it takes you to a list of your apps where you can long press to enable selecting multiple apps and then move them all to the homescreen at once.

Screenshot from v4. When you long-press the homescreen, you don't get the same options. You can choose widgets, but there isn't an "apps" option.

Not sure if anyone still needs to know how to do this but I just figured it out after multiple searches. You can do it two ways with Nova Launcher
1. Long press blank space on home screen> widgets> apps or folder> hold and drag to screen. From there you can select the apps you want and it tells you how many spaces are available on that page to dump or you can create a folder from that screen.
2. If you already have a folder set up you can press the three dots at the bottom right corner and then press select apps and it takes you to that same thing in the first option. And from there you can add apps to the folder you did it from.

[APP][-v1.0.1-][14/6/11]AppGrouper, a simple, catagorised app launcher for android.

[OK, got some stuff done this weekend (not too much, got some family going over to a different country for a year, so they had to be ... sent off, merrily )]
It seems that with every mobile OS released, I hate the way you launch apps. I always end up with tons of apps and it always gets tedious to find and launch the one I want quickly.
To solve that, I've made AppGrouper. It's a quick, simple, catagorised application launcher. The idea is to pin the app to your homescreen, and launch your apps from there. It frees up all that homescreen real-estate into just one button:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You add apps by just hitting the "ADD APP" icon or long clicking on any app icon after you've added an app to a category. You can add category buttons (or rename/delete them) by long clicking on a category button.
This is version 1.0 of my first android app, so be gentle
Nah, just kidding: send/post everything and anything you find broken (I don't expect much to be) or would like different or to be added. Don't be shy Even if you don't like the colour
PS: this works great on my Desire HD, both on Froyo and Gingerbread. I'm real curious to know if it works on other devices!
--UPDATE 14/6/11--
Thanks for all the feedback, guys! It really helps!
Anyway, I posted v1.0.1:
-fixed scrolling issue
-cleaned up interface (you won't notice ... much)
-code cleanup (removed some calls which were unnecessary)
Still working on:
-swipe gesture
-multi-select of apps to be added to group
-getting the app to recognize that your trying to launch the context menu when you hit an empty GridView item (Man, that's obtuse! I really don't want to write my own onTouch listener and throw away the contextmenu code )
Also, ITS IN THE MARKET!!!11!!01!
So, if you're using this (as I suspect a few of you are ), donate me a cup of coffee for the hours I've been putting into this by buying it on the market, please! Thanks! Maybe I can take my girlfriend out to celebrate

And, as usual, keep the feedback coming!

I pmd you. Always looking to declutter the only organized thing in my life :-D
Sent from my fully armed and operational epic battle station

Finally... I uploaded a draft apk to Market, so now you guys get a shot Let me know if it works for you and what changes you'd like and what advice you have!

Just installed and testing it out, really like what I see so far. One issue I have found. Selecting transparent background does not stick. The next time I launch the app the background is back to default.
And a suggestion, you might want to make adding additional apps once the first one has been added more intuitive. I had to try several different options before I found I needed to long press the existing shortcut to add new one.
Great work.
EDIT - I have an Inspire running CoreDroid 6.7.

Ah ... uh ... Heh, the transparency thing Yeah, I should fix that. I just never use that option, so I kinda left that to v1.0.0.1
As for the shortcut adding, what would you say would be a better way of doing that? Just adding a "help" menu explaining it, add a menu option to "add shortcut", allow right clicking the free space next to the icons ... any suggestions are welcome!

I was thinking long press anywhere in the open space (that's what I tried first) or "add shortcut" in the menu. You could do both if you want to cover all bases. I think long press should be adequate though. Maybe short press and icon to change it. I will keep testing and send anymore feedback your way.

I already use Apps Organizer, do I have any reason to potentially switch? Just wondering how this app is unique when apps like Apps Organizer and other app categorizers have been around since nearly Android's inception.. Pardon me if I am uninformed

Well, it's nice to have choices. Try them all and keep whichever you like best. So far I like this one just fine. Well done dev.

I was wondering this too. One I used since i my Hero was Folder Organiser. Does this add any new features?

My understanding is that something that this app offers and Apps Organizer doesn't is that you access your apps by launching the app itself rather than a shortcut or a widget.
The upside of that approach is that it should work with any launcher and any dock. Regina Launcher, for instance, only supports apps in its dock so that's a perfect solution for that.

Not only that but I've been using a app called "Auto App Organizer" for some months now that automatically categorizes (or manual upon installation) all your installed apps like Apps,Games,Fun,Internet,System,Multimedia etc etc. You can also set shortcut icons on home screen to the categories that open as folders when clicked on home. This is the best and most efficient way ive found of installing/organizing our app shortcuts.
@ OP
If you want some ideas you should really have a look at this app.

ths...i'm trying it now...lol

One thing I think would be kind of nice is being able to rearrange or sort apps in each group. Like if I wanted them alphabetical but I added an app that starts with the letter a after I had already made the group

You should add a notification icon for easier access in different locations.
It's nice so far though. The icon looks great on the dock bar of launcherpro.

And in addition to the problem mentioned above:
Could you add:
- a gesture to swap between categories
- an option to size categories (to get a bigger bracket even though you use an abbrevation like "dev")
- sorting personally or alphabetically
- various appearance options --> design =]
But try to keep it simple because categorization programmes like mentioned above are way too overloaded in my opinion.

[APP] Go Home - a Home Button Replacement App

Ever wanted an app which you can run which just takes you to your home screen?
Have you broken your home button, and now to get to your home screen, you have to press back continuously?
No longer will you desire such an app - It is here for you!
An app so simple that it doesn't need options.
Just run it and it takes you to your home screen.
----
Note: On the first run of the app, a blank screen may appear for a short time before it redirects. Do not worry this is normal behavior! Every run after that, it will redirect to your home screen.

And how exactly do you launch the app when you can't get to your app drawer except from your home screen? Kind of stupid, if you ask me. You should make it so that it keeps a persistent notification that takes you home when selected, because the notification bar is everywhere, the app drawer button is not.

I use the app called switchpad to put it as a menu attached to one edge of my screen.
I am just a beginner developer so I will attempt to include the persistent notification feature in my next release.

It's a fantastic idea, but I'm not familiar with switchpad. It's a great start, but I think the most mainstream usage of it would be the persistent notification.
I didn't mean to come off as sharp, I know developing takes time and effort, so keep at it

Thanks
I'm currently working on the persistent notification, and have added it. Im just double checking everything works properly before release...
The release after this will have an option as to enable it or not haha.
John

You can also use an app called LaunchKey that attaches to the long press of your search button. This may help for those with just a broken home button.
I am not familiar with the app from above, but WaveLauncher would work as well. It allows gestures from the area of the screen you define (similar to the swipe up on the Palm Pre). It also has a nifty feature that if you press and hold for a user defined time on the gesture area, it will launch its own app drawer from within any application.
Great job on this simple but useful app! Keep it up! I know a few people with broken buttons that may benefit from this.

I use an app called zMooth which replaces the Menu, Home and Back buttons with swipe gestures that you make at the bottom of the screen.
Here is a video of it running on my Droid X, the video is a little choppy but it gives you an idea of how it works.

I prefer it this way because I use wavelauncher and I don't need another app running in background

Launcher pro short cut can also do this
I too use swipe pad a must for big screen like sgs2,n I too felt the need for a way to trigger home,i googled but cudnt find any thing but just few days ago I tried to put launcher pro as short cut on the swipe pad n it did the trick ,wht am I now missing is a way to to show recent app ,as u normally get by holding ur home button any one knows the way to it,

And how is this different from using Home Manager to create a shortcut to your home screen to use with SwipePad? Home Manager simply allows me to do all what your app can do and even more, like switching between launchers and shortcut on the notification bar

App Drawer Concept - Need Developer

I was thinking about a stand alone organized app drawer ( by stand alone i mean like "all apps organizer, you can find it on market).
This was my concept (very childish paint but you shoud get it)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The main objective of the app drawer is to have all the apps organized by type in the same "screen" and if they does not fit into one screen you can down scroll to see the remaining apps, just like a normal app drawer. Then to change type (like games,apps,utility,internet etc) just side scrool.
Everything would be organized alphabetically on a screen and there should be the ability to move an app throug the screen to change category. Last "screen" should be uncategorized and over there will be placed all the installed apps to be moved on the right category manually.
i don't know if this has been made but i think it could be a very good app drawer
sorry my english and say what you think about this concept
This post is to find someone that would like to develop this

There is something similar in ADW LauncherEX.
You can create groups of programs and swipe through them on the app drawer. Although it doesn't have any transition between the groups, it just changes, which is a bit dull.
I do love the idea though

i really like the concept!

This is a really great idea!
I think it would be even cooler if the app categorized the apps for you. If it gets a few wrong, you would still be able to move it to a different screen. I would hate going through each app to add it, if you know what I mean.

That's more like the webos style, pages and categories of apps. I like this design a lot.

This is MY IDEA!!
The day I bought my Captivate several months ago, its the first thing I thought of that Android could do with its app drawer that would make it awesome. Have all apps categorized by user created categories and then in alphabetical order with new programs automatically going into these categories or else placed in a temporary folder for the user to categorize them later on.
And then for navigation you could have a side scrolling menu that lists all the categories so that you can immediately jump to that category at the touch of a button. I have it completely mapped out how it would work in my mind, but unfortunately I have zero programming capabilities. Crap.

This is a very neat concept. I think it would be really cool for the app drawer to categorize all of your apps for you by default. Obviously there should be room to reorganize and create your own categories of apps as well.
Very neat!

Categorizing things is annoying just the first time then just install and move the application. With multi select it would be fast to move application.
The only thing we need now is a developer

I agree this is an awesome idea and would be much easier to use than the standard app drawer
By the way, the app AppCat is vaguelly similar to this idea but not very user friendly but i dont know if that helps with anything
RDS

I know this is on webOS phones, but great idea for Android! Sometimes I feel my app drawer is too cluttered, loving the idea.

I'm trying appcat to see what it is.
EDIT:
YEs, it categorizes verything but too many categories and is not ok for daily use as main app drawer. too long to find an app between those categories and interface

take a look at appGrouper aswell it may be closer to what you are looking for
RDS

actually, look at the home replacement tag home. It's app drawer is very close to what you want and is quite a nice launcher alternative

And what home replacement are you talking can you post full name or link^^?

You could have been learning how to code for the entire time this thread was inactive! Then you would be able to bring your own idea to life.

[Q] Customizable Grid

Define "edit an app" . . for all we know you're trying to decompile an application and edit code or something. I doubt that's what you're doing but you see my point.
If I had to guess, you're working within a launcher and trying to do something with an app icon but it's not clear what launcher you're using and what specific actions you're taking to get to that issue.

I'm new to the Note Pro. My question was ambiguous. I'll try again: When I select the APPS screen from the initial screen that appears when the Note Pro boots up, there is a pull-down menu that has an "Edit" option, among others. When I select "Edit" and then point to one of the listed APPs icons, a message appears at the bottom of the screen that says that editing can only be done when the Note Pro is placed in "Customizable Grid" mode. Thus far, neither Samsung or Verizon tech support knows how to find the "Customizable Grid" option for my Note Pro. I was hoping someone would be familiar with this problem i.e. security setting prevents users from doing so or the option is buried beneath several sub-menus. I hope this helps explain my question.
Thanks For Your Assistance.

It does but I'm not sure why your launcher is locked in that fashion. It sounds like you're in stock touchwiz launcher trying to edit the arrangement of application icons in the application drawer. I switched back to stock launcher on my tablet to try to duplicate your issue and do not get that error or a warning, I'm able to long press any application icon and move it or drag it to the menu options presented to me while holding onto the icon.
Jumping into all menus and settings windows I can think of hasn't brought me to any conclusive solution. Hopefully someone more experienced with stock launcher can chime in.

Have you tried resetting the data and cache for your TouchWiz? You can do it in settings, find TouchWiz under applications, then clear both data and cache. Keep in mind that this will reset your application drawer settings and your home screen arrangements to the factory default.

If I even so much as open the Apps screen on Touchwiz, all I get is " Touchwiz has stopped".
I'm always a little surprised to see people willingly use Touchwiz. It's unstable, one of the worst resource hogs, it has more errors than functionality, and it's cluttered as hell.
Try Apex or Nova. More stable, less resource heavy, more options.

TouchWiz...........

Have you tried resetting the data and cache for your TouchWiz? You can do it in settings, find TouchWiz under applications, then clear both data and cache. Keep in mind that this will reset your application drawer settings and your home screen arrangements to the factory default.

Thanks for the follow-up. I tried finding the TouchWiz under APPS and I do not find any reference to TouchWiz. The only APP I see with any reference to WIZ is the Setup Wizard. Under settings, I also do not see any reference to TouchWiz.
Am I missing something here?
Thanks again for your time.

It may be named Launcher or home launcher or something like that. Normally the icon next to it is a White House with a big letter S on it, with a blue roof. make sure when you're looking at applications you look under the ALL tab.

It also supports bing wall papers, which can automatically change everyday.
It has fully integrated File explorer, which seamlessly blurs the boundary of apps vs files, in a nice easy to understand fashion.
Notification center will definitely take your breathe away:
Last but not the least, we recently integrated support for dual apps.

Please check it out by going to play store and downloading com.InternityLabs.Launcher.WinX package.
When you press the start button, you will see the list of currently installed apps. By touching and holding an app, context menu will show up, which will enable you to move the app to desktop. If you touch and hold an app which is already on the desktop, you can move the app around to your favorite place. It is also possible to move an app to a new desktop through the menu that will pop up when you hold an app on the desktop.
Critical apps, such as phone, messages, camera etc can be pinned right at the start panel, which will provide you a quick way to access these apps. Once you are done configuring your pinned apps, this feature can be locked via the personalize menu preventing accidental unpinning.
The search button enables you to search for any app or the web using some in built options such as google, Bing, Facebook, Youtube, or Appstore. Once you find an app that you were looking for, you can locate that app on the desktop using the associated context menu.
You can further personalize your view by changing the grid size to provide more space for apps or increase the size of apps on the desktop. You could also change the background of your screen.
The system tray also has controls for Wifi, volume, battery status, date and time for easy control.
You can also create folders, widgets or shortcuts on the desktop menu.
Unlike some other launchers, we have worked hard to integrate notification support into the launcher by providing app badges. It can be turned on from Notifications control panel under ‘More Options’.
Don’t forget to rate and leave great comments. If you feel that you need some other feature, please feel free to write us an email. Our contact details are inside ‘about page’.

Oh wow ! now it looks great !!!

My home screen :

Dear developer, here's a scren shot of bug i found with the latest (29/7/21) update. I can't set this launcher as default. I have the app installed but I can't find it in home settings as you can see below.
Edit : fixed. Thank you !!!! You were way too quick !!!!

Is there a way to have the file explorer show files in folders that have the .nomedia extention? a view hidden file setting or something?
Edit: also, any chance for network drives?

I don't think because I didn't find these anywhere. And the file manager is not even fully windows 10 style. But the overall performance is good, isn't it ?

it does work nice. on android, .nomedia files tell gallery apps not to look in that folder for pictures. its good for when you have stuff lile manga. this file vrowser recognizes this and ahows no media files

Is there a way to edit the "Start Button" Icon?
