I have done some searching and cannot seem to find anything, please feel free to sarcastically point me in correct direction if i am wrong.
are there any favourite app launchers, e.g. a 1x1 program/widget than when clicked opened your 4, 8, 16 best apps (customizable) thus saving white space without having to scroll through all prorams to get to U etc?
Many thanks in anticipation

There are a few... I use Apps Organizer to arrange under manual icons and labels. Clicked once it opens a layer on the same screen with all the chosen app shortcuts in there. The most major limitation being that it cannot arrange widgets into such "folders".

You could just create a folder and drag app icons into it?
or you could just do that, sorry getting to grips with this phone still.
creating a folder works surprisingly well, many thanks

Another option
Another option is Ultimate Faves which lets you select favourite apps or contacts and scroll between the two.

You still can't move any of the programs that you have in your application menu screen into a new folder in that screen.
I think some of you need to learn to read properly before you give some answers that isn't about what the OP is asking for.
The program menu screen is not the home screen.
Don't think you can without using an application

no but you can create short cuts on the homescreen and put themin folder therefore reducing the time u need to enter the menu
Firstly thanks for all your replies.
I know you can create folders on the homescreen, thats not what i'm looking for.
I want to organise the apps in my programs menu. Seems a bit silly its not more straight forward as i would have thought the ability to organise apps as being quite essential.
Any one know what apps can help?

That isn't what he's after. There's no need to post it multiple times.

Also, you could try zMenu.
It's not great but at least it allows you to categorize all of your apps.

i know. i only posted it once and yes its because i didnt read. but io did say that if he was to make folders on the home scren it would decrease time needed to locate apps
I'm just wondering if its me or if there are hardly any Widgets that work in gingerbread? Its my first try and items like current widget install, but I can't see them in the widget list? Any ideas?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
It works fine for me.
Weird I'm using mdj's latest build and can see the standard Widgets but not new ones.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Any advice anyone? Nothing is appearing other than the default items.
I had the same thing when using the SD version of that build.
Just reboot the phone and they will appear.
I've tried that to no avail
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Go to settings,application manager find the widget you want and remove it on your phone memory..then it should be appear..!if a widget is saved on sdcard it want be showed on the widget section u have to manually save widgets on your phone memory because gingerbread saves all the apps first into sdcards
You are a star, thanks for your help

I have the paid version of LP, and I can't find any way to create folders in the apps pages. Would you mind sharing how this is done?
You can't create folders in the app page as far as I know, only on the home pages.

Yeah i just paid for this and no you cant create folders in the draw

Try Apps Organizer by Fabio Collini
If you want to put app shortcuts in folders, yes.
I use "apps organizer" ( total disclosure, I have not upgraded to paid version yet, but I should )
After you install it, you can create Labels, into which you organize all of your apps.
I have about ten different label s:
Daily
Games: 2 player
Games: kids
Internet
Tools
Etc.
Once your apps are sorted then goto the Desktop, long press a blank spot, select Shortcut, select App Organizer and you will see all of your label groups
I use All Labels.... It works great
label interface page and long press on one
But the OP wanted to create folders in the applications pages (the drawer, right?).
Yes correct not on the home page but within the drawer

Hi I have dhd but when installing apps then transfering them to the memory card, when having custom folders on the home screen restaring the device causes the icons to show as the standard default android icons. Is there anyway of making keep the original app ones?
Thanks
I have the same issue as well.

I have found a solution that although it works for me is perhaps not ideal.
If you change the 'skin' to something other than the one you are using, this seems to sort the problem. You can then change back to your original.
The only other thing I had to do was to then change the wallpaper back to what I wanted, but this does not make any difference to the solution.
Let me know if this works for you.

This issue is not that simple. Even if the phone is on for days, the icons don't change. Even selecting them to open the app makes no difference.
The only way I can resolve this issue is to do what I said in my previous post. I have also found that if HTC Sense has to force close and restart, then the correct app icons appear.

good tip changing skin..
Changing the skin works..
Just got my s2 its awesome only annoyance is when I download apps it doesn't put them in alphabetical order ... Is there a quick way to do it without moving each one individually ?
Thanks

Touchwiz AppSorter from the Market does this for you. But you have to be rooted
Thank you for the hint ... will asap look in the market for it
You can also "Clear data" of TwLauncher in manage applications in settings
but it will also reset your home screens to default
Superb thats done trick kudos to you

Even quicker:
When in application view. Press the menu key and select list view.
Problem sorted with no messing?
