Okay so I don't know if I am just missing something or if is just not possible, but are you not able to organize your app's in alphabetical order and have folders? I see that you can put it in custom mode and create folders but then none of the apps are in alphabetical order, and quite frankly a mess. Any insight on this would be awesome.

I think you missed the question I am talking about keeping apps alphabetical order in the app drawer and creating folders in the app drawer. If you choose custom it lets you do folders but puts the apps all over the place. If you choose alphabetical you get exactly that, but than you can not create folders.
I noticed this too. I manually moved my folders. :/

no way. you can create folders on homescreen, thats all. i prefer "apps organizer" over the built-in folder feature.
totally agree: I know what you mean and the answer is Apps Organizer!

creates also only folders on the homescreen. there is no way to create folders in the "start menu" (that what pops up if you press the key with the triangle on it on your screen, bottom left). but it is way more comfortable to use than the builtin folders.
Is there any solution? It's frustrating. I want ABC arrangement, but when I install some new game and its name starts eg from A, I have to get every app outside of the folder, to the app drawer, then RE-arrange the apps by name. So, please help. ;-;
BUMP people? Noone? Or noone cares?
Do you mean when you click on applications and the apps are all spread out on different pages?
If so just click the call button on your phone and select list view and your apps will be in alphabetical order.
Also i recommend this app i have it myself

don't folders have a list alphabetically setting?
For me, Appzorter Lite has proven to be the best. It's primary job is to alphabetically sort the apps on the launcher, but if you go into settings you can also have it arrange the apps inside your folders. It can also fill out gaps if you choose to manually move some applications to another page on the launcher. Very nice app!
I mean this:

To arrange the apps inside the folders by name(a-z). I tried the Appzorter, but it screwed my other apps inside Touchwiz's appdrawer. I only want it for folders.
I realised after some trial and error that you need to use Appzorter's sort as well as fill gaps features, then restart the phone. I believe that should work. I don't think there's an app or drawer that allows you to add folders and only sort apps within the folders.

Folder Organizer is the app you want.
Last night I made make folders and organized my app drawer. I am so anal that I even alphabetized the apps inside the folders. The "edit alphabetize" worked ok for the folders themselves but not for the apps inside. I found that by dragging them in in alphabetical order, I could satisfy myself HOWER...
Today, I tried to go back and make some changes in my app drawer folders and I can't figure out how to get inside the folders to remove an app. I am sure I did it yesterday. Duh!
Home - Applications - Menu - Edit - View Type - Customizable grid
will allow new folders and moving of folders but how do I rearrange or delete apps inside those folders????
Thank you for any help here!
open the folder and long press the app you want to remove

Is there any way to have folder settings transfer from one theme to the next?
I tend to stay away from themes that use folders because it is such a chore to delete apps I don't have or use in the folders and replace them with the apps I need every time I change themes.
Lots of themes have custom icons for Bank, Fitness, etc. that are not listed in the app preferences. I love the icons but the fact that I don't uses the apps associated with them, makes them useless.
Can I change the app associated with the icon and have the setting transfer from one theme to the next?

Its upto the themer who makes the theme to choose what he adds and what he doesn't.

Yes you can change the associated app by changing the hotspot for the icon.

It seems every themer believes everyone plays candy crush and scrabble.
not transferring apps in folders has been frustrating, but I think what bugs me the most is the forced alphabetical order.

So true, but that's why the developers still mention that its a beta version of the app and is still under testing. And we can help them by making it better by sharing our feedback and sending the complaints and bug reports to te developers so that they can improve it and add more options to the app.
You can visit this link: support.themerapp. com to report the bugs and share your feedback.
Is there a way to remove the Candy Crush icon and the Papa Bear icon under games?

Hi, many of the new themes use Smart Folders, that link up with your Smart Categories, which means that these folders will remain the same no matter which theme you're using. Also in the next few weeks you should be able to change the alphabetical options

Please answer this question. I know that the content is prescribed by the theme developer but to be honest I do not play any games on my phone. I do not mind the Category being empty as I may download games in teh future but I would like to remove the icons in the folder.
Is this something that can be carried out by editing the theme settings directly?

They answered this in another thread but their answer was to reinstall the app which did no good and they have not responded since.

Hi, if you are referring to the sponsored apps (such as Candy Crush), you can remove them by going into: Themer Settings - Manage App Drawer - Hide Sponsored Apps. These apps are simply used to help bring in resources and keep Themer free. The option to remove them from the Smart Category folders found on your homescreen will also added in soon.

Many thanks for the response.
Unfortunately following those steps does not clear them or hide them when the Category they are in is tapped.
I will await the update to allow them to be removed.
Hello, I was wondering, how do I change the apps that are in the premade folders? I can't seem to figure out how. When I try dragging and icon into it, it just replaces it.
that is a feature they really really need to have
Me too on the same boat.... Mebbe these concerns are addressed once the app gets outta beta phase.
There are some themes with folders, but with a theme like GTA V there isn't.

If you open your app drawer, long press on the app you want, you should the be able to add that app to the screen.
If you drag these apps into the existing folders, they will be added to that folder. Similarly, you can remove existing apps on the screen or in the premade folders
