Just out of curiosity, what are your ideas for productive apps organization? Do you keep the most frequently used straight on your home screen, or in categorized folders? Maybe you're using a third-party app to manage them efficiently?
I've been playing around with the look of my Hero's screens, and I've came up with these layouts:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
On the home screen I keep my most frequently used apps, and on the second one, settings toggle widgets, the second most frequently used apps and favorite apps organized into four folders. Besides those two screens I have three others occupied by HTC widgets.
I used to organise things on my screens, and in folders, but then I found out that none of the backup tools are able to back up the layout.
So now I've switched to using Apps Organiser to arrange everything, and I like it better.
Dropbox? How? What? Where?

Apps Organiser has an annoying lag while opening labels - loading the icons takes about 1-2 seconds.

I found the lag annoying too. So now once i start my phone i quickly open each label, then leave Apps Organiser running in the background. Then when i open a label its immediate and has no lag.

thanks a lot!
I've got two questions regarding this subject:
Is there a way to sort folder's content alphabetically?
Is there a way to (re)organize the drawer?
How you take screen capture of your Hero?
Using the SDK. The Screenshot app did not work on my Hero.
How do you get the dropbox icon to appear? I've created a browser shortcut (to the same iPhone URL) but even if I insert this as a quicklaunch icon it looks like a standard icon.

Works only on MoDaCo's custom ROMs (so I've heard!). I'm on MCR 2.3 and it's working just fine (as it did on 2.2).
Ok, so I'm running a standard UK Vodafone Hero with the 2.73 fw upgrade - but I'm not going to be able to run BetterCut? PITA.
Don't fancy my chances of playing around with the modaco stuff. Ho hum ...

Updated, now with Kin Loop! See below
KinLauncher is exactly what it sounds like: A kin-style theme for Windows Mobile. The screen is very simple (and fast), featuring the following customizable buttons:
Messages
Phone
Email
Browser
Music
Camera
Settings
Alarm Clock
Recent
The Spot
The settings for these links can be changed in \Windows\kin_config.txt
Instructions are simple: Download the cab (below), run on your phone, go to Start Menu -> kinlauncher, and your set!
The default settings are configured for the HD2, if someone can make a configuration for other devices, that would be great!
The Loop version
Now you can have all your friends status messages on your homescreen! Install the KinLoopSetup.CAB file, login to Facebook, and then swipe Right. It's beta, so give me feedback!
Also, clicking the Spot now takes you to a custom Facebook update screen. Try it out!

Unlike my WP7 theme, it was meant sortof as a filler for older devices (gotta find some use for my 8525..). Also, if anyone with a Kin could get me some high-quality screenshots, that would greatly help the quality.
Thanks.

A few comments though:
This wasn't intended as a full-blown UI. But apparently there's a market for such, so I'll work on some improvements, such as message notifications, the Loop, Facebook links, etc.
this is going to be awesome on the HD2 especially when the loop and facebook are put into it

It's an app, you run it and the screen appears. Closing the app puts you back to Sense or Manilla or Windows Default or w/e.
Added "The Loop", works fine for me but want some feedback. Install the KinLoopSetup.cab file, log into Facebook, close the window, and click OK. After a few seconds your friend's status' should appear if you swipe right.
thank you~~~this is very good~~~
Nice Work!
Nice work man look forward to this progressing into a more comprehensive skin!
My girlfriend has the X10 mini and when she removes an app from the phone, the icon is removed from the app drawer as expected but it leaves a space where the icon used to be which is never reused whn a new app is installed
she has several of these gaps now, has anybody else had this problem or know how to fix it or refresh the list maybe?

You should get a launcher like ADW. It has a much better drawer. There's no comparison between it and Sony's one.
The x10 mini's launcher tray is different from the trays of other launchers that just list the apps in alphabetical order - you can reorder them yourself - press the menu button, then select "Arrange icons" and you can drag the icons into a new order (so you can drag other apps to fill your spaces, or organise the apps by type, etc)

I think LauncherPro only works on Android version 2 and up.
Yeh i found the gaps that were left behind a bit annoying... but i also found scrolling through each page at a time and remembering where each app was annoying as well as i started to rack up quite a few pages and the app drawer always loads at the page u were last on.
But now i use helix launcher which puts it all in alphabetical order which i did found annoying at first as i wasnt used to it but getting familiar with what apps u have and what they're called as well as being able to see more apps on the screen and scrolling down to the bottom with 1 swipe makes it a winner!
If your gf doesnt regularly download lots of apps and uninstall them i'd suggest to just rearrange/shift the apps into the gaps for her or get her to herself.
I was wondering if it's possible to change an app's name and icon in the bottom dock? I can't seem to find any apps for it, the only ones (anycut, bettercut, desktop visualizer etc) I can find are only able to create shortcuts on the homescreen, but I can't put those in the dock.
I know there's LauncherPro/AWD, but I would like to keep using Touchwiz 4.

You may consider trying out Bettercut or SuperShortcuts.
I have not tested those, but according to their features it looks to achieve what you are looking for.

Those apps create shortcuts on the homescreen, which you can't drag into the dock.

I don't want to use a launcher, but I would like to be able to to customise the icons and text. Something like what Desktop Visualiser does for home screen icons.
It should be possible since other launchers can do it, right? Or is TW a little bit too complicated?
I'm using Go Launcher Ex atm, it's pretty good but TouchWiz 4 feels faster and smoother.

Really?
My reading of the app description implies that one needs a launcher to make use of the dock customisation.
Correct me if I am wrong. If this is not the case then this may well be the answer. I am happy to pay for the app if it does the job; however I am reluctant to dive on in without confirmation that this is indeed the solution to the problem.
Can anyone confirm that Custom Launcher Icons can be used to edit the icon and text of a TW dock icon without the need for a launcher or root access?

I used to have it on my androided HD2, it was with ADW launcher...
I tried it on the TW, i guess it needs a launcher after all
Sorry for the wrong info guys!
Bummer. Thought we might have been on to something there. Never mind.
The search goes on.

You have to actually launch WidgetLocker from the shortcut added in you App Drawer.
From there, you can edit the lockscreen to your convenience.
Long-click on a slider will allow you to (re)move it.
Right-click on an empty region of the screen will allow you to add widgets, shortcuts, sliders...

You need to install a widget that provides such notifications.
I highly suggest SMS Unread Count, provides notifications for Calls, SMS and GMail, plus you can customize the icon.

so the complete app is now garbage because of a simple icon?
please at least give a few actual arguments and tell them how you'd like the icon to look like..
or make your own.

I'm sorry but where did I state that it was garbage? Seems like you're the one needing to give factual arguments, not me.
As for the icon, I think if a developer wants users to use their app instead of countless other apps that do similar things, they should be original and differentiate not sraight up copy something from other apps. In the case of this app, seems like they worked hard on it and I congratulate them, hopefully they will come up with a nice original icon that better fits their app.
I change this icon in the future. I'm not a graphic designer and so far i'm working on more important things...
I do not steal, I found this icon on google
