Hey, I have alot of books, videos, music, and other files on my microsd card. Does anyone know of a method to add shortcuts on the homescreen to these folders? Preferably within the stock file manager. Icons are also prefered over widgets, but widgets will suffice.
I figured ADW EX would allow for something this basic but unfortunately it doesn't.
ES File Explorer will let you do it.
Just long press on folder and select "Shortcut".

under normal usage, some of my icons were lost.
these are the File Explorer and Running Programs icons. i just created a shortcut on the start menu for some applications that were lost too. (only shortcut icons were lost, not the program itself).
just wanna know where the file explorer and running programs reside.. \Windows\FileExplorer. so i can create a shortcut myself.
thanks ΓΌ

The icons in menu cant be deleted. However, most alt launchers will let you hide icons in the menu.

Aha, what is with apps/games what i downloaded can I move them?
Your app drawer contains all apps on your phone, usually in alphabetical order... some launchers allow you to hide apps, some allow your to create folders within the drawer to group them, some allow you to re-order the drawer..
Personally, I prefer to leave all the apps in the drawers and create shortcuts to them (by dragging and dropping as you mentioned) onto the desktop and categorising the pages.. ie, I have a page of favourite games, a page of tools/ utilities, a page of media related stuff!, and a central home page with a clock and meridian music widget on it.. and finally, and page with a full page calendar widget on it.
Is there any way in Folder Organizer to change icons/labels of Android toggles (GPS/Airplane/4G/Mobile) for my HTC EVO 4G?
They don't show up under any of the change options for FO at all like the apps, settings or even shortcuts.
Wifi is considered a settings so is eligible for change but not the above?
Am I missing something?
They're widgets, not shortcuts. You can't edit a widget through Folder Organizer. You can edit shortcuts to those settings, but not the toggles themselves. If you want them to look different, you can use something like Beautiful Widgets that has skinnable toggles (you'll add a Beautiful Widgets widget instead of a "Settings" widget). Or you can change the image files that the toggles use - you'll have to be rooted to do so.
Folder Organizer can only go as far as the Android system will allow, so don't blame the app. You can't put your Facebook widget in Folder Organizer, why would you be able to put another? If you think about it, it makes sense.

I wasn't blaming the FO app.
I was just trying to see if I had missed a step somewhere.
thanks for chiming in with your 2 cents.
I was wondering if there was a way to link to standard go launcher folders to save the need for a separate folder app. So far I cant find them when I try to put a shortcut to them in programs like swipepad.
I'm looking into the answer too. I want to add a go shortcut to show app drawer in swipepad.
anyone know how?
