We really cant make folders? I find favorites unusable.

on the desktop you can m8 just drag one icon into another,this will create a folder then simply long press,edit and rename,assuming this is what you mean,and remember this is still in beta
I'm guessing he's talking about folders in the app drawer itself, like nova launcher has. I found it to be remarkably convenient.

We are working on recreating the app drawer that will include folder support. Sorry about the delay.

just wondering if anyone knows of there is a way to change the picture of your folders... I don't use a home replaceinnt at all so I'm having a bit of a hard time figuring this out...
Thanks In advance!
You would have to edit the images in the framework.
I think he wants to have different icons for different folders, editing the icon in the framework would not work for that. You think that they would have include a way to change folder icons tho wouldn't you.
I got Harley folders in my Harley theme I made.
You can use better cut... Edit any shortcut...

or so it claims.... wouldn't let me select my folder to edit it also wouldn't let me create a new folder within it. So i requested a refund.
Why don't you try App Organizer? You can create your own folder with widgets and custom picture.

good find.. ty
I am using this. Works great. Probably a 3 star app. What i did was i put all the apps in one folder so they didnt go across all my screens, then i put this app's short cut on my dock bar. Works great. Its just very none aesthetically pleasing. Could use some more customization, maybe some sorting or something like that.

You can customize it if you use the left click button at least somewhat.
This app works great. Perfect for MIUI

I tried MIUI last night, I also installed this, but what I just ended up doing was removing this and put everything i didnt want on my homescreens in one folder and put that folder as the middle dock icon, and it basically works just like an app drawer, u can change the sorting to numerous options including by usage, which i thought was really cool.. the folder also has a neat open and close animation when u click it (when it is in the dock anyway). I always end up going back to some stock derived rom though, I just feel like I am losing features going to cyanogen or MIUI

If you hide apps in the MIUI settings and then use the altdrawer as an app drawer were you able to put shortcuts to the home screens? I'm not able to....

You go to the folder and drag that app to desktop to get shorcut

more like losing bloat / gaining functionality lol
Is this possible? I can't seem to figure it out. The long press menu doesn't work at all on the NT. I can't find another way to add them.
I only got folders to work on go launcher because it can create them in the apps window, allowing you to create shortcuts to them on the launcher screens.

Hold App A on top of App B for a little while longer and a transparent box should appear. That is your folder.

Are you sure that works on the free version? I know it works on ADW EX. I used the free version until a few months ago, and I don't believe it has had updates in forever.
I am using adw ex version not sure if it works in free.

I have the exact same problem with the free version. Dropping apps on top of each other does not work and trying to create one by long pressing an open space on the home screen just makes that window disappear. I figured it was something with my root and re-rooted the NT, but it unfortunately didn't change anything.
Not much help from me other than saying you are not alone fr3dw0rth.
I downloaded the newest version of ADW ex from mobilism and I am able to create folders. I think it runs a lot better than go launcher
Is there a way to put app icons from the app drawer to a folder to the app drawer itself? I tried using several homescreen replacements but i really like how the SE default feels, feels premium! Thanks in advance

I hardly understood what you said and concluded that you want to set icons for folder like the icons in app drawer are
for that you can use any of these two softwares one is free other is paid app
You can change icons of software by using first and by using second link you can change icon of folders ...
To change icon of software get -
Desktop VisualizeR
To change icon of folder get -
Folder Organizer Paid
Folder Organizer Free
Else get this light weight launcher and its really very fast responcive and low memory consumter...
360 launcher
I hope it will help you....
Go launcher, or touchwiz 4.5 works on all roms. And has app drawer folders

Now she's at work with her new phone and I'm at work with my old Note 2 so I'm of no help. From my Sensations days I asked her to pinch to zoom to bring up home screen preview and rearrange them there but she said that is no good. The little screen to add another home screen page she says she can drag the home screens around but can't rearrange them. Is there any special trick to rearranging the home screens on the HTC One?
I have the same problem. I've been told that it can't be done with Sense 5.

Yea its kinda limited right now. Better hope the JB/4.2.2 version of Sense 5 adds that ability.

What I did is add a panel, pick which one I wanted as my home screen, picked it, then populated the screens as I wanted. Not difficult.

Which is downright stupid and confusing. Maybe I've been using Nexus devices for too long but I never had a learning curve on Android til I got this phone. (I love it but some things just seem like they were not very thought out.)

I can help. Just open the app drawer, long press on the app you want to remove. Drag it up and it will load back in the drawer leaving a blank space. Then drag the app you want to replace down to the blank space on the dock.

Let me try again once my wife is home, we were trying to do that but every time we drag a app out the same app appear on the drawer again so was not sure if there is any other way to get this done.
I will report back after trying it again

If that doesn't work for you, drag the other app down to the app you want to replace and it'll make a folder on your dock. Then just remove the app you want gone. Either way, it's more steps than it should be but you'll get the result you want!

Is there anything else that can be done ?

You might want to retry or do a master reset if none of what we've said is working. I'm including a screenshot of me dragging a random app (Facebook) to my dock to make a folder.

No. You dont drag it TO the drawer. You drag it FROM the drawer TO the taskbar. After, of course, dragging the icon you want to replace FROM the task bar TO the drawer.

It makes sense to me. What didnt make sense on my S2 was to first create a shortcut on a homescreen panel and then drag it to the bottom task bar. Thats two steps. With the One, its one step. From the drawer to the taskbar.
Thank You for these tips. I have been trying to figure this out. I will admit some of these things are strange coming from the Nexus 4 but I can deal with them for this awesome phone.
So when I drag it as per the screenshot. It does add the app to the drawer but then you can not remove either of the apps and this thing is pissing me how
Dont understand why something this simple can be made so difficult by HTC

I've got a few more screenshots that will hopefully help from here. Once you've created the folder, click on it to where it brings the two apps up. Then long press the app you wish to remove and drag it to the drawer.
