tried looking but no luck, i just want to put certain apps into one folder like spare parts, settings, etc. is there a way?
as it seems not at the moment, but i want this feature too. how is it possible to install an infinite number of applications but no way to organize the startmenu?
it would be nice....but in the meantime, there is an app in the market called aps organizer. you can assign different apps to different labels (and create your own labels), and then you can put shortcuts to those labels on your homescreen.
That way you get the folders (sort of) on your homescreen and don;t need to use the main menu. I think ive used the main menu about twice in the two weeks i've had it installed.
Given that the market is already split into categories I don't understand why this isn't implemented in the App menu. It IS quite annoying. Also, given that the market already has a categorization couldn't someone develop an app that Auto-sorts the menu. Gnome on Linux does a very good job of this, don't know about KDE...
This is one of my biggest gripes with my Hero. I'm a bit OCD when it comes to organization on my phone and computer. The sooner I can organize the programs more efficiently, the better! I'd really appreciate an app, update or custom ROM that could enable this.
I have folders on my home screen for different apps. but the main programs menu still bugs the hell out of me, especially when it displays things like font packs with the rest of my programs :S
So I got two D3's for my parents and they don't care for any of the social apps at all nor Blockbuster or anything else. How do I get rid of these?
Damn this phone has a lot of bloatware, even for a Verizon phone.
Well, you have a few options, but only one actually get's the bloatware out of your hair.
You can root the phone and freeze all of the apps they don't want to show up (see the list of safe-to-freeze apps in the Development section of this forum). That approach provides the benefit of keeping those unwanted apps from running in the background, using up resources. Under the circumstances, though, it might not be a good idea to root your parent's phone if they aren't tech savvy, 'cause they might break it (and, of course, there's that whole voided warranty thing).
You can use the App Groups feature in the stock D3 app drawer. Just create an App Group (call it "Favorites" or something) and add only the apps that your parent wants to see. This is a simple method of getting all the bloatware out of your face. The downside, though, is that, every time you install a new app, you will have to remember to add it to your "Favorites" App Group or you won't see it in the App Drawer by default (you'd have to switch over to "All Apps" or "Downloaded Apps"). Also, this doesn't do anything to keep the bloatware from doing stuff in the background. Option #1 is the only way to do that.
Use a third party Home Launcher. I don't know which ones do and don't have this feature, but Launcher Pro has the ability of adding apps to a "Hide" list for the App Drawer. This way, you can pick all of the bloatware that you don't want to see in the App Drawer. Compared to Option #2, this approach is better because, once you've built your "Hide" list, you don't have to do anything else. There is no need to add newly-installed apps to a group so that they can be seen or anything. The downside (or upside, depending on your perspective) is that you will have completely changed the look/feel of the Home Launcher from the Moto Stock Launcher. Personally, I prefer the look and functionality of Launcher Pro, but some may like the Launcher that Moto put on this phone from the factory.

I rooted it and ran the remove bloatware script. Seemed to do the trick. Much faster. Now my old lady wants me to de-bloat hers. I manually rooted the d3 (the day it was posted), but they have the one click root now.
Hello Boinic XDAers
My question is how deeply integrated are the stock apps such as Dialer/Messaging/Calender/Blur launcher ?
I'd like to download 3rd party ones such as go sms and custom dialer/contact apps and uninstall the stock ones.
will any of these cause continuous force closes or a soft brick?
Thanks!
Marc
Go ahead and install the new ones. Just dont uninstall the old ones. Once you set the new apps as the default you will never have to see the blur ones again. But yes it will probably cause issues to uninstall them. Besides, why? There really is no point to uninstalling the default ones.
If you really don't want to see the stock apps, you could try freezing them through Titanium Backup. If something goes wrong, you can unfreeze them.
Freezing an app this way does the same thing as uninstalling it (removes it from your app list/drawer and stops the system from reading it, basically hiding it from the system behind TTB's walls) but allows you to bring it back with ease.
I hate Blur, like im sure a lot of people do, is it possible to get the stock AOSP apks to work as default?
It's possible.
How I would do it, rather than freezing or removing the standard text & messaging applications, is also install a launcher, something like ADW launcher.
Then you can remove all links to the standard services and put shortcuts in the places for the standard apk's.
You 'shouldn't' damage your system by installing the standard APK's, but I would do a back up of your system first, by installing safestrap.
Well guys and gals, I got a little zealous with Titanium Backup and started removing items left and right (Nearly 60-70 items). SMS and the stock email app (not gmail) must have depended on one of these items because they now crash frequently. The SMS loads the main conversation overview, but crashes when I click into a specific conversation. I've routed my SMS through Hangouts for the time being. The Email app crashes whenever I click on a notification of new email or even try to swipe it away. If I launch the application after that, it will work once again.
Obviously it's hard to say what exactly I removed to cause such behavior. Is there any sort of dependency map or list that I might be able to compare against my currently installed items to determine what I'm missing? The alternative is to wait until a full root is possible then just reinstall a custom rom. I can probably tolerate my work-arounds until then.
You can use safe strap and install custom roms now!
To restore your stock build there is a thread titled "how to restore MJ5" if you want stock.
Next time remember to do a full backup with titanium before you go delete crazy lol! We all learn the hard way. Also I recommend "freezing" unwanted apps first! Run with it a few days to see how it performs. Then if you feel bold delete. But we've got enough space you really don't need to delete.
