Not just any folder app (i checked again). When i say ICS style,im referring to how the ICS and ADW EX folders work,where you hover one app over another to create the folder

Update same folder in app drawer & homescreen?

I've made a folder in the app drawer, long hold & put it on my homescreen. I've added apps to the folder in the app drawer, but they don't appear in the one on the homescreen. I have to delete the homescreen one and re-add it from the app drawer.
Does anyone know how I can get them to automatically synchronise? Or do I just have to keep replacing the homescreen folder?
Using stock rom, touchwiz, rooted.
Thanks

You deleted the file where?
If you are trying to paste it where are you copying from?
What phone and Rom do you have?
Here is an original accuwheatherphone.apk system file if you need it from the i527m version, as i see by your signature you have the GT-I9205 version if this is correct, they should be the same file i am thinking and you can try it if you like. :good:

If you have the apk file in your system/apps already, look in the widgets as this is were it will show..if the weather is not showing on your home screen you have to add it like you add a widget as this is the way i had to do it as i also tried that transparent weather apk that did not work for me, it should work with a reboot..but it might have to be added like a widget in case the rebooting part does not work.

What do you mean 'you have to add it like you add a widget'? The widget also not showing at the widget drawer. I dont know how to solve this problem. I tried many ways but dosent change anything.

Once you have the apk file copied back to the system/app folder it will show up in widgets..well it should after a reboot and you find it in widgets and hold your finger down on it and it should go to your home screen and then you release and it should be on your home page.
But if it is no showing up in the widgets drawer then that is weird..the weather apk file you have in system/apps folder is ithe permission set to rw-rw-r-- and you can use your root explorer to set the permission and reboot and see if it works then..if this does not work then I am kinda baffled on this.
