[Q] Is it possible to create folders in the main app menu?

I just figured out I can make folders on my gsll phone in the app menu. (Not the home screens) I can put all the carrier BS and other app icons I don't want to see in there. It brought my app screens to 3 swipes from 5. Is that a standard Android feature or something Samsung added in with touchwiz? I would be interested in doing the same on my tablet.

That sounds like a Samsung Touchwiz feature. As far as I know, stock app drawer does not support folders/dedicated pages.
However, you can simply get a non-stock launcher such as Apex or Nova and they support app drawer folders, plus a multitude of extra features lacking in the stock launcher

That is possible, just use a third party launcher. I think nova has is

OK cool. I will check out those programs. I figured one of those would do the trick but wasn't sure if I was missing something. Thanks!

*if* it works using nova, would you please not forget to click the thanks button?
I am a very 'thanks'centric person, so I'd like to get that bar a bit more to the right lol

Thanks for the thanks
I guess Nova has it?
I've never used third party launchers myself, since I think that the stock launcher on the Infinity is rather cool

[Request] Scrolling wallpaper

I have tried the numerous live wallpaper workarounds but still prefer the native wallpaper scrolling. Is there any way to enable this on a stock based rom similar to how Viper's launcher has it? I have tried looking in default.xml, Prism.apk, SystemUI but have yet to find anything. If anyone knows of a working exposed module or tutorial for how to force, please let me know. Thanks!

I can't scroll either. peikojose may have found a sort of explanation/resolution that works for him. I couldn't quite figure out how to make it work for me, or if I'm doing it right.

Why do most xposed mods I've read say samsung or touchwiz? I've read it should work on any rom, but does that not refer to Samsung roms?

Are you using the module from the xposed download screen? Also which launcher/rom are you on?
Edit: He's on a Samsung. Wanam does not work on our HTC.

He has a GNote2 though, right? Those modules are meant for Samsung devices primarily. If it works anywhere else you're lucky.

For whatever reason, scrolling wallpaper still works with some launchers. I have it working with ADW EX and I've heard at least Go Launcher described as still working. I just don't like the way ADW scrolls wallpaper.
Does anyone understand why we have an issue? Is there some way that AOSP Android allows for scrolling, and this is not working in KitKat or Sense has broken it? I've read Nova used to have a force scrolling option that was removed. Does anyone still have it working on that older version? Why was that option removed?

For me, with Solo launcher, wallpaper scrolling doesn't work. Themer, it doesn't work, Go Launcher scrolling works fine. I even like the transition, which makes sense, as opposed to the way ADW transitions. What a stupid way to choose which launcher I will use.
I guess I don't care about icons and traditional themes, though I'm definitely impressed with Themer's abilities, it's just not what I'm looking for... Just scrolling wallpaper, please.

Same feelings here for Nova. I love everything else about it. I continually try new CM nightlies but then miss the duo cam and IR features.
Edit: Oh and the main one, swipe to wake

I'm going to update this post later. There's several live wallpaper apps that restore wallpaper scrolling. I think the one in using now is landscape wallpaper. It works completely and invisibly, as if scrolling was miraculously restored. I even like being able to auto-switch walls on unlock.
EDIT:
Landscape Wallpaper - PROS: Better settings than WC, IMO; gives you lockscreen wall control, "scrolling direction," "scrolling source" of simulated or launcher (method), elastic effects, and image quality.; if choose simulated scrolling source, has further scrolling effects! (almost won me over with this... if could add "border mode" option to infinite scroll wallpaper (visible edge/seam, not jump/scroll back), I'd donate/buy this) CONS: Maybe a PRO, scrolls wall behind app drawer, but can't disable this. Can't create "albums" to choose from; only single image or folder
Wallpaper Changer - PROS: can create albums from single file, folder, or individually selected images from multiple locations and switch between them at will!; simple and works well. CONS: settings seemed glitchy or quirky for me; can add, but apparently not remove individual images from albums!?
Scrolling Live Wallpaper - Pretty simple, it adds wallpaper scrolling and worked for me. I don't remember it being bad, but I hated that when I took a screenshot, it became obvious it lowered the resolution/quality of the wallpaper dramatically, probably for performance. I don't think it had an option to disable this. It also scrolled unnaturally, imo. I think it simulated the scrolling effect, but poorly.
Wallpaper Wizardrii - I'm pretty sure I read this will enable scrolling for launchers that don't support it. I didn't try it. Looks popular, but has tons of wallpaper wizard effects that I don't need or want.
TIP: If using stock lockscreen, and maybe regardless, along with 3rd party default homescreen -- set same live wallpaper as wallpaper in Blinkfeed or stock launcher (settings same, regardless of launcher). Annoying when choosing single or small set of images; after a reboot, I always had a non-chosen wallpaper load, then refresh with expected live wallpaper after homescreen loads.

The latest Nova beta that came out today has an option to force wallpaper scrolling that works great.

Widgets

Anyone know what I can do with this? As you see on pic widgets are moved from left side more then from right,and that is maximum size because I was trying resize more but that's is max what I can set.

You need another launcher. Nova for example allows you to set widgets and shortcuts in between grids

Ok but there is no idea why I have this issue and maybe some other solutions ?I prefer to use stock luncher but this problem it's little annoying.

Not to start a discussion what the best launcher is, but why do you prefer stock? Nova do the same + a whole lot more. But no one forces you to use it's features, besides the grid thing so you can do what you want.

You are right about Nova Luncher but my question is about stock luncher and do anyone have some solutions for this.

No, that's why we suggest another launcher. Stock doesn't have the ability to do what you're looking for

Nova launcher

I'm using Nova Launcher on my S8+ but when I swipe up to open the app drawer, I can see the home screen dock icons while swiping and it goes away when the app drawer is fully open? Is there an option to disable it?

That's a normal feature when using "swipe to open" drawer.

So nothing can be done or an option to turn it off unless Nova Launcher fix it with an update? As it is fine with the stock S8 launcher with swipe to open drawer.

I use 0.5 animation speed. You can join Google+ community of Nova Launcher. Maybe someone there can help, it's very active community.

And you can reassign gestures, with pretty good granularity.

not really, the home gesture doesnt work if you use the two-side return method.
i changed it to sliding from bottom (left is multi task, home then back on the right)

so the home launcher can be set to an alternate one without issues/phone reverting to the inbuilt launcher? double tap to wake works? thanks
