SPB folders - Nexus S Themes and Apps

I currently use SPB as my launcher but some other launchers have features I want....the main reason I use SPB is because of their folders. Is there a way to use SPB folders with another launcher somehow?

Try simi folders, you can customize them the way you want, and if my memory serves me right, they're of the same stule as SPB.

They aren't even close....I've tried every folder option out there...the spb folders, for me, are the absolute best....I guess there is no way to extract them to install then separately...

I really can't believe the lack of good folder options...

I guess you're right, and while I somewhat agree with you, why aren't the stock folders sufficient? Just curious.

Try "folder organizer". Much better than simi or the spb folders.

I tried folder organizer....I don't know that its better or worse...it just doesn't do what I want how I want it. My question still stands, is there any way to extract spb folders to use with a different rom?

What do SPB folders do that makes them so special?

Eye candy probably.

No...not eye candy. Its hard to describe really but you can make the folder bigger than a 1x1 if you want and make certain icons in the folder clickable without opening the folder. There are 3 different size options. I use a lot of folders and these options really are handy.

Those options are built into the SPB framework and they are more then just normal folders, they act like some kind of widget. This is a SPB explusive feature and you won't find anything like it.

Circle Launcher is pretty...and nice.

Best folders app?

hello, on the iphone you can put apps into folders, what are the best apps to do the same on the play please.?
Create a new folder, name it if you like, then drag and drop apps (icons) into the folder.
To create a new folder press and hold anywhere on the homesceen like you would add a new widget. Select create folder instead.

What do yall think about spb mobile shell 5 for android?

For those that don't know, its a 3d based home replacement app. I'm having mixed thoughts about it. First of all, its $15 on the market but is rather cheap compared to its windows mobile predecessor. I like its features but hate the scrolling. Swipe sensitivity is sub par imo. Its got some good elements to it and adds to the android experience with the widgets, carousel screen previews and editing features but also takes as way from the android experience by not allowing the user to place the items anywhere on the screen. And it doesn't scroll through the home screens like android. More like an imitation android os if there is one. What do yall think?

It's ok, it's defensibility a different home replacement but with 5.0 it doesn't have an app drawer which is a huge set back in my opinion, I don't like to have to set up folders.
If you don't like AOSP/Sense it might be for you, but I don't think it's worth it and I have had ever since beta was leaked, and the official copy before android market... And when it takes off it will be priced way to high just as it was on WinMo.
I'm still using the last beta before the release (i tested all of the beta releases), and it has an app drawer. I personally love the home replacement, and was considering purchasing, but if they took out the app drawer then i wouldn't fork over $15, no way no how.

Yeah there is no app drawer in the release I have its just your screens (weather calender, clock on the left side, then your screens on the right, no way to access an app drawer. When you set up the screen only option it gives you is recycle bin and the bottom row to do a temp store but no true app drawer
Craziness. Ill just wait for someone to kang a clone for 5 bucks and better features.

You sure? The one I tried a few weeks ago didn't have an app drawer... or if it did I didn't keep it long enough to find out.
Definitely has an app drawer. Definitely has an app drawer. I think its sweet. Lacks a few things but I'm sure it will get updated and improved on.

Lol. Well the current one from the market has an app drawer. And yes. The pirated version won't stay installed unless you are rooted and using adb and firewall app. I admit to using it for trial purposes but I haven't rooted yet so it got disabled. But yea I think it's current state just doesn't appeal to me so much yet. They also lack a configurations menu. I just hope fede can come with features that can measure up with this. If he does I think it will give some satisfaction to all of us whom will not be getting sense3.0 on our devices. Lol. I'm rooting for fede tho.

The same fede who has been working on the perpetual rewrite? The same fede who keeps adding to the fat of lpp instead of stabilizing it? The same fede who kanged anderweb's transitions for lpp shortly after adw ex launched?

It looks glitzy but I wouldn't pay $15 for it. I wouldn't pay $5 for it.
I had to sign up for beta testing using a dozen emails before the devs sent one of them an invitation. The earlier releases did not have an app drawer, and when i sent a feature request for it, the dev who emailed me back asked me if it were necessary since the home screens can be customized.

Add Folders to App List

Hey, is there a way to add folders to the app list?
Realize that would be really helpful with my app list growing.
Thanks
Not possible?
get folder organizer..... it will add folders like the iphone
Thanks, nice app.
Not really what I'm looking for, can't organize app list/menu with it. Just lets me make folders that I can post to the home screen...
Nice, but not what I'm looking for.

Doesn't it drain your battery? heard it does for most people. it looks great but I really need my phone on.

ADW updated!!!!

Just what the title says. IMO its smoother then Apex and Nova. I really haven't had time to play with it but so far so good. Wish this update was available when I was stuck on HC.

I use GO EX, on my SGS3 and Pad 7.7, perfect :good:
We had to wait a long long time for getting an update.....
But at least it was worth the waiting.
Had to fix screen size and some other settings after new update. It was a pain, don't really notice anything new while running on stock ICS

After playing with it a bit I stuck with Apex. I think this is a bigger draw to HC and GB devices.

Was quite happy using adw ex launcher. There is a bug though. When u add a folder on the home screen, initially you could edit the folder to change the icon or rename the folder. It doesn't work anymore. Any idea people.

Double tap on icons/folders to get the edit/remove options.

No longer able to use the launcher actions along with minimalist text, I used this set up to switch between screens. Have emailed the dev and still waiting on an answer.

THIS. Been using Go Ex Launcher for several years on many different Android devices & it's been amazing, very customizable & easy to use.
After trying EVERY other launcher including paid ones, none come close to Go EX...

Change Folders icon

Hi, The folders on the Note 4 are heinous when compared to the Note 3. Any ideas on how to change them? I'm not looking to use Nova or any other type of launcher. I'm currently on FireKat v7. Thanks all
I'm guessing you'll need a theme of some kind. I'm no fan of how the folders look either.
