Hi everyone!
Yesterday I bought my Galaxy S Advance.
After using some Android 4+ devices I am used in using folders on my desktop.
Is there any app that allows you to use ics styled folders?
I cannot find anything interesting. The most are bad copies of the iPhone folders.
Thanks in -S- Advance
Hmm.. What "folder" are you referring to? Are you talking about the "circled" ones on the Homescreen which keeps a bunch of apps in itself?
Try some different launchers, some have this feature....

Holo Launcher HD does nice job of folders imho. Lots of settings like background and icon and text sizes.
Thank you both guys for replying, I haven't find yet anything :crying:

Yes! Thats what I mean. I do not mind if it will be circled but the stock gingerbread folders are really bad. I would like to keep on using the default launcher because I like it very much.

If it is possible I would like not to change launcher. Touchwiz is very nice!! But there isn't any good app for creating folders..
You can upgrade to Jellybean if you want.. as Jellybean has a more "modern" UI than the outdated Gingerbread...
On JB, you can use Nova Launcher, which has the Feature you are looking for
I will, but in my country the JB rom has not been given yet.
We are waiting for it, up to the middle of March it would have been released.
So, for now I stay with Gingerbread.
Yeah, thats up to you....
But if you want it now then you can Root your phone and upgrade to Jellybean.. it still didn't release for my country too (only released for Russia) but I have using it for more than a month now...
But then again, since you bought your phone just recently you might not want to void your warranty by Rooting it...

It's the default style of TouchWiz in JB.

No apps running on the background during the installation of the ICS Lockscreen?
And do you have a ICS lockscreen to install? Or are you searching for one?
Please be more specific ^^
I want to know if there's one available to replace the original one. Without using apps to do so. The one that looks like the Hc one. The circles thing I mean.

Ah like that, no it has not yet been made for the i9001 unfortunately.
Ok.
You saved me a lot of searching.
I guess we have to wait then
Thanks anyway
Any good soul willing to put some effort int it and make one?
i would if i had any idea how to do it.

You should really give it a shot. Everything works and it runs a little bit smoother than ICS... actually a lot smoother!

Did the icons on your home screen come preinstalled with the rom, or did you have to use a custom icon pack?
Here's my Nexus S running CM10
Actually, scratch that. I failed to notice your comment about the icons. My fault. Sorry. Lol.

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.

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.

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.

Not sure if there is a then available, but there is a slight learning curve when it comes to using ss launcher. Just play around with it for a whole and you'll be able to make one yourself.

Impossible i wouldnt say
Well i wouldn't say it is truly impossible, devs are upto work and trying their best but surely replacing the samsung lockscreen is hard Cause everything is connected through touchwiz... but i like to do alot of hacking and im trying my best to get this to work... through android.policy.jar thers even a thread to get the AOSP lockscreen on Samsung phones!
