Folders in the app drawer? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is this possible? I don't want to use GO launcher EX. And organizing apps on the home screen is hard and annoying. That's why i want them in the app drawer. If there isn't a way to do it in the app drawer maybe there is a way to easily organize folders on the home screen maybe?

U can make folders on homescreen
If my post helped, don't mind hitting THANKS

Won't Apex Launcher do that?

I don't want them on the hone screen because its too fiddly. I want them in the app drawer or I want an app that can make it so that I can easily put them on the home scree. I HAVE ABOUT 200 APPS!

With Apex you can just drag and drop to create folders, so you can have as many as you have space for on the home screen. You can even create them in the tray.
Not sure that helps though ;o)

You can change the icons for an app on your homescreens by adding a shortcut to the app.
Press and hold on homescreen > Shortcuts > Applications
After you pick the app you want, tap on the icon in the dialog box and replace with the icon you want.

Renaming Applications?

Is there anyway to rename applications so the icon text fits on the screen. Such as wireless tether or dolphin browser both cut off the text on the screen.
Yes

On the homescreen or app drawer? Desktop visualizer will change icon names on the homescreen.

Desktop Visualizer works great. Finally got app text to fit on my screen.
Adw launcher let's you rename any home screen icons also. I don't know for sure but I would suspect launcher pro would also.

I use an App called BetterCut
Does desktop visualizer work on stock sense (thunderbolt)?

Change app drawer sorting now we have root?

Anyone got any ideas where to start looking at how the App drawer is sorted now we have root?
The only thing I hate about this phone, is the way it arranges the Apps, with system ones at the front and downloaded ones after.
I want them all alphabetical, but I don't want to spend ages moving them by hand...
I just switched to Apex launcher. Now with root, it can also move widgts from the drawer, and it sorts alphabetically by default. Don't know if this can also be achieved with the stock launcher, but i don't see that much advantages in stock either.
Yeah I would switch to nova launcher, but I want the weather widget

Just knock the animations off, app drawer and folders open in a jiffy

Yeah the Launcher from LG is crap. Just install the Jellybean Launcher from the market it rocks and its so much faster.
I really like the LG Launcher, for everything BUT the app sorting.

Need help

How do I fix the bottom right? I was trying to get rid of the cam shortcut and use the mail. But now I don't know how to remove it. Does anyone know how to. Thanks for reading.

Open app drawer. Drag items you dont want into app drawer. Place item you do want back

What he said ^^^ looks like you created a folder by accident. The bottom bar isn't like on other android phones, on this phone it's a part of the app drawer so to put apps on it or take them off you always have to be in the app drawer.

How do I get to the app drawer? Excuse my ignorance.

[Q] "favorite apps"

The apps at the bottom that are fixed in place...how do I edit this?
I've searched the forums and google but didn't see a resolution...
Open app drawer, drag app from dock, place new app in dock.

If you're using an alternative launcher, you'll need to make sure that you're editing the dock in the HTC Sense launcher (you may have to go into Settings > Applications > <your launcher here> > Clear defaults to get into the Sense launcher again.
