This is most likely the simplest thing in the word but i'm not figuring out. It's really easy to create a folder in the drawer in touchwiz and even rename it. But how the hell do i add apps to that folder? I don't mean in homescreen, i mean in the app drawer..
Thanks!
Just drag and drop into folder.
Keep pressed the icon and move over the folder.
Sorry man, that doesn't work or I am doing something wrong. When I hold an app to drag from the drawer, tw will immediately change to my home screen so I can put it there. At best I can drag it to the top where it says folder but that just creates a folder in my home screen. That's not what I'm looking for, I want it in the app drawer.
As I stand, I can create folders in the appdrawer just fine, I just don't know how to populate them
Edit: never mind just found out. Wow this is awkward. For the sake of anyone that may be wondering like me, you need to open the drawer, press menu, edit, touch a previously created folder and then it will let tick apps to move to the folder. I've seen better implementations, but it works. Thank you anyway.

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.

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.
I hold down an empty part of home screen and only wallpaper options seem to show up. I went into apps then widgets and didn't see an option to create folders. I want to organize apps in folders on my home screen. Help?

Just drag one shortcut on top of another

If you drag one icon onto another icon, it will put it into a folder automatically using the first icon as the folder icon. If you drag many icons onto it, it will stack the icon. You can name this folder too once you have 2 or more apps in a folder. You can even arrange the apps in the folder by holding onto the icon and dragging it around in the folder.
All of the above assumes that you are already on ICS

OP did say they only get wallpaper change option when they hold down on the home screen. That's ICS behavior, whereas Honeycomb would bring up the screen to add apps and widgets to the home screen as well as change the wallpaper. So, assuming the OP is on ICS makes sense.
This is one area where I actually preferred the way HoneyComb worked.
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:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/uvegrqhs7d552y7/2012-06-01 15.18.00.png
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.

I know this has to be so obvious that it has completely eluded me.
How do you add a widget to the homescreen on Cyanogen Mod 10.1?
When I press on the screen I only get wallpaper choices. I must be missing something.

Open the app drawer, select the widget tab, find the one you want, the long press and drag to where you want it.

Yup, knew it had to be there. Never noticed the widgets tab in the app drawer. That's what I get for not using my reading glasses....
Thanks.
No problem
