Does anyone know how to move and organize your apps around once it's placed in a folder already? (I'm referring to just using the folder functionality in TouchWiz, not by downloading another app to organize). I can't seem to figure this out...
Hey mate,
1.)
just go into app drawer,
then press menu,
(at bottom you will see folders)
now just put apps you want in it,
then go back or move folder in app drawer.
Sure you then can put the folder on homescreen.
2.)
just press menu on homescreen (with at least one free "case") and choose "add".
- Sure you also can do a long-press on homescreen -
Then you can create a new folder (also by categories)

highly recommended, here is a pic of my home screen.
edit - sorry i just read all your post my bad..........
Thanks for the reply guys, but what I meant was that once there are apps in the folder, is there a way to rearrange them inside the folder? I tried holding the folder down, but that just allows me to drop it to the desktop homescreen.
Apps Organiser (fabio collini) is brilliant and very simple. Probably my second most important app behind titanium backup

Sorry for misunderstanding!
So you can really sort it in folder like you want to do it.
The only chance is putting the files in right order.
So the first one will be top left, fourth top right and last on at last point (dunno how much things you want to throw in)
Hope this is the right answer now

just wondering if anyone knows of there is a way to change the picture of your folders... I don't use a home replaceinnt at all so I'm having a bit of a hard time figuring this out...
Thanks In advance!
You would have to edit the images in the framework.
I think he wants to have different icons for different folders, editing the icon in the framework would not work for that. You think that they would have include a way to change folder icons tho wouldn't you.
I got Harley folders in my Harley theme I made.
You can use better cut... Edit any shortcut...

or so it claims.... wouldn't let me select my folder to edit it also wouldn't let me create a new folder within it. So i requested a refund.
Why don't you try App Organizer? You can create your own folder with widgets and custom picture.

Longpress on home screen then select shortcuts bettercuts but i couldn't find the option for a folder. Ended up downloading Apps Organizer and was able to to make a folder and change the icon on it.
ok I did it using bettercut through astro... so I guess it might not be supproted I just used a back door..
Is there any way to change the lower 4 icons, or at least set it back to default? I lost my Phone and Contacts icon, just Messaging and Applications are showing.
Not sure how this happened, it started somewhere between updating to WKE2 -> Rooting -> Adding the stock kernel back again -> Freezing some apps. I have unfrozen all apps nog, but the 2 icons have not come back to the static buttons at the bottom. I can however see them in Applications.
BTW, besides than this WKE2 seems to be running smooth for me, was a little worried after seeing some other threads.
in the app drawer you can hit the left soft key -> edit and just drag anything u like to the dock.
Hah, I *am* a TouchWiz noob. Thanks!
I must be doing something wrong as i cant get the bottom 4 apps to change. I can customise the othe pages but not the 4 apps on the home page. Any futher help for a noob.

Open up the App Drawer, hit 'Menu' (left softkey), drag what icon you want out and replace it with what you want.
Bare in mind you can only replace three of the four icons.
Many thanks for the pointers, got it sorted.

Is this possible? I can't seem to figure it out. The long press menu doesn't work at all on the NT. I can't find another way to add them.
I only got folders to work on go launcher because it can create them in the apps window, allowing you to create shortcuts to them on the launcher screens.

Hold App A on top of App B for a little while longer and a transparent box should appear. That is your folder.

Are you sure that works on the free version? I know it works on ADW EX. I used the free version until a few months ago, and I don't believe it has had updates in forever.
I am using adw ex version not sure if it works in free.

I have the exact same problem with the free version. Dropping apps on top of each other does not work and trying to create one by long pressing an open space on the home screen just makes that window disappear. I figured it was something with my root and re-rooted the NT, but it unfortunately didn't change anything.
Not much help from me other than saying you are not alone fr3dw0rth.
I downloaded the newest version of ADW ex from mobilism and I am able to create folders. I think it runs a lot better than go launcher
I know that i am probally missing something simple but -
On a S3 how do i put a Excel file on a screen?
It won't let you right click and copy and paste. However, if you select the file and hot control+c the go to desktop and hit control+v it should work

I think he's referring to putting it on the home screen of his GS3....correct?
Yeah
this may or may not work. Also there may be an easier way. I downloaded Astro file manager from Google Store (free app)
Went to home screen, long press and select Short Cuts (I use Nova launcher)
Then selected Astro from the menu
Astro should open and you should be able to browse to the file you want. I didnt have an excel or document to use. I just tested it with a ringtone and it added the ringtone to home screen

Hello guys. I was nokia user since 6 years & I'm new on android. I just want to take information there are many file managers which have attribute option to modified any file.... i.e to hide files simply on their original path whatever the files stored anywhere but in android, there are also many file browser but these don't have attribute option to hide, mean there is only every separate application to hide files. It does not matter but the issue is that these applications hide the applications as well as it also moves the the files from its original path which i don't like. Can any kind man tell me the any file browser with attribute option to hide files or any hide application without moving the files. Thanx a lot for reading & suggestions.
Use root explorer...to hide a file in android simply put a (.) Before the file name..without the brackets..itll hide itself without changing its location but in root explorer ull havta go into the preference and uncheck show hidden files also!

if you're using touchwiz launcher if you press menu there is a 'hide applications' option where you choose which ones you'd like to hide from the app drawer (if that's what you're talking about - not sure when you say hide 'files')

Hide files, make them invisible from a normal directory listing. The answer is correctly given above.
