Is the additional step of moving the app instead of renaming .old or doing both just a way to keep them organized and separate or does it increase speed or memory?

Eh. Just a preference as to how to hide them away really. I move them because it makes more sense to me.

Yeah, just a matter of preference. I personally find it far easier to rename than to move files.

I have a stupid and probably easy question. Is there any way to arrange to the apps, in the folders I created, alphabetically? Call it my obsessive compulsiveness, but I hate my apps being all jumbled up randomly due to me taking them out, putting them back in, etc. Thanks for you help and suggestions.
Yea I always wanted tto do that too but I'm not sure; check tthe all store and see if you can find an app that will do that.

Just choose the apps you want out of the app drawer one by one by long pressing it onto the homescreen that way they are in alphabetical order. Of course, that probably wouldn't help down the road when you want to add another app to the folder but that's the best solution I can come up with
Fairly sure "Folder Organiser" does that.

How do I make a folder on the desktop without having to install a 3rd party app? I searched for forum and only came up with Honeycomb stuff which actually didn't support that.
All you do is take one if the apps you want to put in a folder and put it on the desktop then you take the next app that you want to put into the folder and just drag it over to other app and Willa you have a folder and you can repeat for more apps

Yep, what he said....
Drop one app on top of another to make the folder.
Drop multiple apps on top the folder to place them in.
Damn so easy I never even thunk it up. Thanks!!
What if I wanted to make a folder with PDFs or other files in it?

Q: If I delete stock browser will it affect the Google search bar and Google now?
Thanks
drool on my chin from a mouth full of jellybeans....
Well actually no, the browser and Google apps are different, and the only way to remove the stock browser is to go to /system then /app and remove the browser from the browser, ie cutting and pasting it.

If you have titanium backup I'd just freeze it.

Actually, he doesn't even need titanium backup. He could just use a file browser (ie. Root Explorer) and change the browser.apk extension from "apk" to "bak". That will accomplish the same thing as freezing it. To bring it back just change the extension from "bak" back to "apk". Then reboot.

Hey N00B, what about just removing from /system/app and moving to ext SD card? I want to clear up space in /system or will renaming .bak successfully do that?
Thanks everybody for ideas, sometimes threads in q&a section can go unanswered for awhile.

It's like your insulting him lol with the noob thing, but then I noticed you're quoting noob in need
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda app-developers app
If you don't want nor use use the stock browser, then I'd either delete it or move it to your external SD card manually via Root Explorer and keep it backed up there. Freezing an app (manually or with titanium backup) will not clear up any space, just disable the app from loading or being detected. If you do want to use the stock browser, but don't want to waist precious internal SD card space... Well, you could try to move the browser.apk from "system/app" to "data/app", reboot, and then go into your phone's app settings and move it to the SD card. Guess it's worth a try, right?

Hey skinzy98, real quick, just wanted to let you know that your work in the development sub-forum is greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work! :thumbup:
Now to answer your question. If you're planning to inject an app into a ROM, then you can accomplish this by placing the .apk into the system/app directory inside your ROMNAME.zip, and that's it (assuming the ROM sets recursive permissions to the entire system/app directory). This would result in your injected app being installed as a system app. However, if you want it to be installed as a data app... Well, it's gonna' be a little more involved. For what you plan to do, installing it as a system app would probably be best anyhow. Good luck, and let me know if you need any help/have any questions. Always glad to help a bro out when I can.

You are going about it the right way, but beware some apps from different sources may in other files or framework.
Just fyi if you run into unexpected issues.
Good luck

Just wondering if anybody knew of a Camera app or organizer app that actually moves pictures instead of just displays them differently via a viewing app?
For example it would be great to have photos automatically go into pre-set albums or quickly and easily reorganize them afterwards etc. I know I can manually move them via file managers but looking for a dedicated app with different options/filters etc.
Anybody know of apps that can do this?
TIA.
Anyone?

Thanks for reply but did you actually properley read the OP?
Could you please give any relevant info about app and how it meets needs because I had a quick look at features and it seems completely different as its a motion picture capture and doesn't mention anything about what I mentioned in first post.
Quickpic.
A very nice gallery app with the option to conveniently move pictures to new or existing albums.

Thanks but as I said I'm looking for something that physically moves and organized them. Quickpic just creates virtual albums like standard gallery.

Media Organizer. Does not move automatically, but it moves photos, creates directories, etc
I know it is a paid app. Not sure if a free one is available, it might.

No my friend.
I use quickpic a lot.
Whenever I move a photo from one album to another, it physically moves the photo file to the desired folder.
I can also create new albums (folders) from within the app.

Thnx for help but I have tested app and it doesn't create real folders on storage it creates virtual folders/albums which isn't what I'm looking for.
[edit] Actually I take that back it does move them but to internal, will look more into app. Thanx.
