I've created a folder on the home screen (sense 3.0), is there any way of renaming the folders so i can have different named folders, ie. games, internet, GPS, etc.
Any way to create folders in the apps menu?
cheers.
Long press the title of the folder while it is open.
To be honest i thought i already tried that or maybe it was just the menu button i tried..
Anyway, cheers.

Being relatively new to Windows Mobile (long time Palm user), I'm trying to come to grips with some of the quirks of this platform.
I would like to group my shortcuts into logical areas such as applications, utilities, media, etc and was able to create folders and move the shortcut link files into those folders. So far so good.
However when I went into some of these folders by accessing the Programs folder, I was faced with a huge delay before all the icons showed up on screen. I also ran into a problem when uninstalling some programs only to find they left the shortcut behind (because it was not in the expected location I assume). I ended up undoing all I had done and now my shortcuts appear quickly again, but of course there are now a large number of them all in the Programs folder which is what I was trying to avoid.
How do people normally deal with the fact that every program installs a shortcut in the default Programs folder and you end up with an unwieldy number of shortcuts in one place?
I've not had an issue with this, as if the icons are in the programs folder there is sufficiant cache for this to be scrolled relatively quickly.
The last 4-6 applications are available on the quick launch area of start menu anyway...
May I suggestion something like SPB Pocket Plus or some other of SPBs finest apps if you wish to sort your icons out... you can have them on the deskop then for faster access...
Is it possible to put a folder shortcut in the quick links menu such as games folder or office mobile? It would be a lot more convenient to have just the folder instead of each game put up and would save space. I am using cookies home tab btw if that is important at all. I tried searching and didn't come up with anything useful.thanks for the help.

Probably it will be me who don't understand the question; but do you would have a folder with shortcuts in the windows view, or do you need a shortcuts in the today screen to a specific folder?
sorry fore the question; but didn't see it clearly.
in the today screen.

haven't given it a go...care to read and see if it may work?
cheers.
you will need resco explorer for my solution.
1. navigate to the folder you want to add to quicklinks
2. long press on that folder to get a popup
3. select "send to" in the popup
4.at the bottom of the menu you will see "startmenu as a shortcut" choose that
5. go back to sense starting page and press "menu" on the lower right side
6. choose "edit quicklinks"
you will now see that the folder you want to add is already there
hope that helped...
On a rooted NT with Go Launcher, is there a way to make a folder? (I'm giving this to my wife as an Xmas gift...want to put all games in one folder and put on homescreen). When i 'long press' homescreen and select 'folder,' nothing happens. Is there a way to fix this...some kind of setting i need to know about or something?
Thanks,
Tommy
In your app tray, long press on an app you wish to place in a folder and slide it over another app you want in the folder. A folder will be created with both those apps. Add any other apps in the same fashion. Then long press on the folder and move it to the desktop. Once there you can edit it's label by long pressing the folder.

Okay the only way to make a folder with rooted NT and Go Launcher seems to be by putting it in the dock...i added a folder there, selected the apps i want in the folder and then moved it to the homescreen and it was visible. Every other method i've tried, the folder doesn't actually mount itself to the homescreen.
Looking for a folder application that does not pop up a menu button when the folders are open.
On my OG Evo Id have gesture actions for my dock to open up folders made in apps like either http://goo.gl/Wldwa or http://goo.gl/hakGF
The problem on the EVO LTE, is that now when I do the same thing, a menu button pops at the bottom of the screen, which forces a redraw of the UI, and slows the whole experience down.
So does anyone know of a good way around this? Or a folder application that is ICS friendly enough to not pop a menu button when browsing the folders it creates?
I am using APEX launcher, and its folders are wonderful, but cannot be tied to a gesture action, only a spot on the dock...
Simi Folder Widget used to work pretty well for me, but I haven't tried it with quite the scenario you're describing
Simi was no good:

Popped up the menu button, and as well put the folder at the top of the screen.
Go launcher kinda doesn't do the menu on the folder itself, though it does have a line on top with the name of the folder.
Here's a pic I found on images.google.com

Not sure if that's what you're looking for, but it might do
I've been using Application Folder Pro since Gingerbread, also works on Honeycomb and ICS. You can customize the icon, name, the Window that opens when you open the app. Really awesome folder app. You launch Folder Editor from your app drawer, create a folder and add whatever apps into it. Then long press your home screen and add the application folder shortcut. You can select the type of Window that launches when you click on that folder.

Hey! I have Grand Theft Auto III installed to my SD card as it seems to not crash as often and alleviates space on my internal storage. I store the shortcut for it in a folder on both my home page and app drawer called Games. Every time I restart the phone, the shortcut removes itself from the folder on my home page and puts itself outside of the same folder on my app drawer. Does anyone know why this happens, and if there's something I can do to rectify it? It's only a minor annoyance, but would be nice if I didn't have to keep putting it back in the folders every time I reboot the phone. I have since moved it back to internal storage, and it's resolved the problem, however, I would prefer it to be on my external SD!
Any help would be hugely appreciated!
Thanks
James
I had the exact same problem, but it was Go Launcher EX who was guilty of that. This still happens to me, so i just take the folders that are created in the app drawer and drag them to home screen. Now it doesn't happen.
I say again, don't add folder by Menu button>Add>Folder instead go to appdrawer (in your case it will show folders and not apps) drag one of the folder to homscreen and voila!
Maybe this isn't the solution to your problem but as i interpreted it this should be the solution. It worked for me atleast
Regards.
