is there a folder app that allows me to have folders like iphone has where you can see your icons in the folder?i know iv seen this i just can not find it.
I use Folder Organizer. There's a paid version and a lite version in the market. Not sure what the difference is between the two or what features the lite version lacks.
SiMi Folder. Its the best imo

Ok so I have an app NinjaMorph installed which allows me to open .apk files and swap out a file (say an icon file) and then repackages up the .apk for me.. so far it's working as expected.. the only problem I'm having now is figuring out the locations of some of the apps I have installed as it seems that some of them aren't listed or at least don't appear to be.
Anyone have any idea where or how I can figure out the install locations on apps that are already installed? Is there another app I can install that will provide that info perhaps?
For instance the GasBuddy app. It doesn't show up anywhere in the system/app directory...
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Try /data/app

Oh nice looks like there's a ton of them in that directory... thanks!
you need Better Cut its a paid app on the market iv had it since it came out back on the G1. its great replace any apps icon with any image you want
they even have Themes and icon packs available for free once you download it so if you want all your icons one style/theme it will do them all. or you can just select individuals
No problem.
johnt2k: I think he's talking about customizing icons within the app, like menu buttons etc.
Actually what I'm trying to do is change a few icons in the app drawer. I can use Desktop Visualizer to make custom shortcuts no problem but changing the icons in the app drawer is a little giving me trouble.
I've been trying to use this Ninja Morph app to edit the .apk files and swap in the icon I want but it've only had it to actually work and with my settings and contact apps. Doesn't seem to take on the others i've tried to actually apply the change.
Yeah it seems like ninja morph only wants to change things in /system/app

Does anyway know how to get the wallpapers from Nero beta 3, particularly the one of the eye
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Download the Nero Beta 3 zip file and extract its contents with your favorite archive manager. You should be able to pull them from that.
I have the beta 3 already, but what is the file path to find where they are located. I searched through alot of files and couldn't recognize anything that may be wallpaper related. Of course I don't really know what im looking for either

Use astro or something else to copy the launcher2.apk from /system/app to sdcard then extract the apk to a folder like a normal zip file. From there you should be easily able to find the wallpaper jpegs and copy. that's what I did to get the carbon fiber wallpaper from beta 3 .
XDA App
Ok trying now thanks .
Edit : worked thanks again

OK, so I'm a noob with the Thunderbolt and I'm sure this is an easy question. But, I'm lost:
Is there a way to take the menu of "all apps" and place them inot folders, so they're sorted into "communications" folder, "games" folder, "utilities" folder, etc. There are many file managers that claim to do this, but they don't show their results under the HTC Sense "all apps" uberfolder.
I've seen a few topics related to this, but not for the Thunderbolt, and none recent. I'll try them. Meanwhile, if you've solved this problem for the Thunderbolt, please help me. TIA!

Kind of like the iPhone ? Well your best bet will be using go launcher , you can organize them the way and it works good on TB

Yeah I'm using ADW Launcher and you could separate them into Catalogs and hide the "All Apps" in the App drawer.
Yea, it's a function of the launcher as mentioned. If you're willing to try another launcher you'd be able to do it. For instance, I have mine set up in different "catalogs" as mentioned by HeCareth so that I can swipe left or right to get to different drawers of Tools, Media, etc. (ADW EX for me btw).
or just make folders on home screens. thats another alternative.
Not exactly what you wanted....
I know you specifically stated you wanted folders in the app drawer itself, but I've recently fallen in love with Auto App Organizer. That's a link to the ad-supported version but if you also become infatuated the developer has a donate version as well: https://market.android.com/details?id=zts.ticket.autoapporganizer&feature=more_from_developer
I use apps organizer from the market it is free and does exactly what you asked

I think according to his description he wanted to organize the app drawer which is why people recommended other launchers. But yes, you can do most of what apps organizer does by making folders on the homescreen as bthomp said and fill them with apps. Not sure why an extra app would be desired for this when it's included by default but maybe it's somehow prettier or something or has some added features.
Thanks, guys. Got what I needed from you and decided to place a single folder on the home screen, and place my most often used apps in there. It'll work for the time being, until I research all your outions and pick one that's more permanent from your helpful list.
I use SiMi...love it and its free

where are all the app icons for things that i install and if they are in the apk how do i extract them and then re inject them after im done?
Copy the apk to your computer and use 7zip to open the apk and you can edit the icon with out even unzipping or rezipping! Not sure where the icon is in the apk, if I was at a computer I'd look.

I haven't heard of an Android version of Winterboard, but I haven't been on Android long. Winterboard was a neat app. I loved having it on my itouch after I jailbroke it haha

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?
