Add Folders to App List - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

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...

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.

SPB folders

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.
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk
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...
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
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.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
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.

Task Widget / To Do list widget / Checkit widget

Hey guys,
I am in need of a task/todo widget. A good one, My criteria :
It should be a widget:
where i can see all my tasks/todo list etc
All the tasks should havea check box for easy checking in the widget ( without opening the app : i.e. when i press a checkbox to complete the task, the widget shouldnt expand or open the app at all, i just want it to check it off in the widget itself )
Also expandable and collapseable subtasks and or notes within the widget itself, without going into the app ( i tested many apps doing this, i dont want that )
Any of one know of such a wonderous app out there???
please help
Use Any do to do app, it satisfies almost all the criterias you've asked.
Search for "any do" in the market.
I'be attached the screenshot for your reference.

App Request - SMS Blocker

Hey guys.
I've been trying hard to look for an app that will block unwanted sms. The thing is, though, every app has an icon in the app drawer whether it is a decoy icon or not.
Can one be made that blocks sms that doesn't show up in the app drawer?
I could really use one.
Thanks.

Try this app. It works in my experience. I use a home replacement app (ADW EX) to keep icons I don't want out of my drawer...

I use ADW EX as well... I just never bothered using the catalog thing. I like how the app has hidden mode. It's perfect!
Thanks again man!

Search 88sms on the Play Store, it's essentially the same thing.

Obviously..im retarded... because I can't get this damn thing to do what its supposed to do LOL.
I open the app.. i click the center and select 8sms and click 'Change'..then i select 'Default Icons' and select 'Messaging'.
the app then brings me back to the app selection screen.. and I do it all over again. I seem to be stuck in an endless loop. What am i doing wrong? LOL
I'll post instructions tomorrow when I wake up sir.

This is definitely a step in the right direction. But even with 8ms and changing the icon, we lose the unread count on the icon.
I've tried searching for some type of xposed framework mod to just darken the stock messaging app but alas.. Nothing.
Sent from my XT1080m using xda-developers app.
I was able to pull the mms.apk from an eclipse rom rom the Razr HD. its inverted..and has a lot of extra features. However..the app crashes if you remove or rename the stock messaging app. so what I did was leave the stock messaging app and turn off all notifications and simply hide it with Nova. Now i have the darkened inverted goodness i want with full functionality.
edit: nevermind. it works..but its receiving messages twice for some reason. Fail.
Can someone please post the stock email apk thanks!

I can... is it at all possible to invert the system apps and just do a simple drop and replace? like people, dialer, mms, calender, email
I wonder if this couldn't be implemented into GravityBox or some type of xposed framework?

I thought the same thing...but I haven't suggested it..espec because there are so many roms that GB supports
The problem is the stock system is odex like most stock systems are and themed apps do not usually play nice with odex system. Most of the times a dev will put out a deoxed rom or there is a way to deoxed the entire system, What is always interesting about Moto is they have specific odex version of apps like Motoemail, MotoMms and others that make simply dropping in themed apps problematic. I hope this answers your question. I am working on a theme for the Mini right now that takes out the green and replaces with blue LOL I hate that green!

Well we kind of sort of have a working Safestrap for the MotoX..which in turn works for the Ultra/Maxx/Mini.. would it be possible to deodex the stock system and black it out? I love the functionality of Stock with the features of GravityBox... Sooo battery life and stability of stock is what I want pretty much
