Is there any pc interface to rearrange a phone's screens?
Is there any app similar to the Blanks app for iphone?
(Create invisible icons to better organiza folders, etc)
You mean just a dummy to fill the spot where you'd like a blank space? I suppose you could make a do-nothing app (immediately returns) and give it a transparent icon. I've never heard of "Blanks" for IPhone. Is that what it does?
Its actually called iBlank, all it does is create a "homescreen" bookmark that opens safari, then opens iblank, then crashes and returns to the homescreen.
Also, do not need to add any blank icons to my vibrant, I can.place the icon anywhere on my device, but perhaps this is just Samsungs Touchwiz at work.

Does anyone know how to put the Bottom drawer to the side on the home screen? Some guysays he "hacked" it but usually when people use the works hack they usually are some loser with a dowloaded app. Or something. I've looked around to find some source code in the firmware that dictates where the drawer is to be but I can't find it (that's where it was on my iphone).. so if anyone has done this or knows how to do this could you let me know?
i've glitched it to the side a few times and it's kinda ugly over there. the whole setup of the homescreen rely's on the app drawer being at the bottom. to move it you would have to change how the icons appear on the screen and you would lose some space
no biggie

I don't really mind having less space for apps on the home screen bc I only keep 2 folders with all the apps I want (I categorize my home screens) id love to know how to do it tho.id really aappreciate it you can email me [email protected] or just reply. Thanks
Hello,
I was wondering is it possible to re organise the application on the x10 so i can put my favourates nearer the top and on the first page?
thanks for your help
You could put your favourites onto one of your home screens. That's what most people seem to do.
go to one of the home screens, slide up the apps panel then hold your finger on the app you want until it vibrates the app panel will close and you can drop the app onto the screen.
Simples!

thanks for the reply.
yeh i did have that set up before but im using timescape as my homescreen now so was hoping id be able to just reorder the entire list of applications so the ones i want are close to hand.
done
its ok i figured it out...if u hold it down for ages it wil let u move each app...
How do I reorder the menu?
I want to move some apps to the top of the application list (NOT the home screen).
I'm pretty sure that you can't.. although No1 Fred might say different?

Wow, thought it would of been one of the first things they would of had aside from changing from list to grid.
I guess that's what the home screens are for though.. although if you use timescape as the home screen then you're a bit knackered!!.. (Does anyone find it useful to use Timescape as the home screen?? I know a few have tried it then reverted back to "normal" home screen..)..
Plus if you install a different app launcher (open home or Helix) then you can have more home screens.. and organise your apps into groups.. (I've got 5 screens with Games on one screen, internet stuff on another.. clock and calendar on the centre, then "System tools", then useful gadgets on the fifth..)
My phone really only consists of 3 screens and I only use one icon for everything, which I have on my main home screen. Is there any way to place that icon in the center?
Since our phones only have space for four icons across, its kinda hard to place that in the center. I'm using launcherProPlus

Pretty sure you can change the amount of columns and rows using launcher pro. You can also resize icons using lpp as well

Tried to use launcherpro, but no such luck

launcherpro 5x5
install with long press NOT add button (lets you choose icon)
should work
if not, do a 5x5, use a clear icon and either just "know' its there, or choose wallpaper that has an "icon like" look in the middle - trial and error to line up "invisible" icon to wallpaper
hint - use non scrolling wallpaper option
hope that helps
ps - i'm pretty new to this so there may be a better way - but this way does work
Just downloaded like 100 games, is there a way to select all those apps and create a folder?
Also, I have a blank screen that I don't need. Is there a way to remove that? Like I have an extra panel.
Thanks

not unless you're using a custom launcher. i use TSF shell UI, and that has a lasso tool that lets you just highlight up to 20 icons at a time to drag into a folder, or you can double tap as many icons as you'd like to move into a folder.
and if its anything like android for phones, pinch to zoom out of the home screen and it should show you all the screens. just drag the spare panels you dont need to the trash can to the bottom.

I use Folder Organizer by Fabio from the market. Not sure if it works on JB or N7 as I'm still waiting on mine to arrive. It puts all apps in a list and you put them under a label and just go down that list and check them off. You can also use custom folder icons.

That's a standard feature of many 3rd party launchers and ROMS ...
I have not found any launcher or appdrawer that simly uses folder icons that is suitable (could choose custom) to the group. All/most launchers uses the iPhone app-miniatures-impossible to easily see-folderstyle. Also icons and foldericons are too small. So here is a suggestion.
3*4 big foldericons, e.x. social (phone, messaging, facebook), office (word, excel, etc), media (camera, pictures, musicplayers), tools, games, settings (settings apps, widgetsettings)
When a new app is installed, it is automatically asked in what folder to put it, or if create a new folder for it.
(I only found 3 icons in my example, and not very intuitive suitable icons, soo you have to imagine 3 more rows)
a extra feature: it could open up a cloud of widgets when sliding a foldericon. Example sliding the social icon pops up a circling cloud of facebook stats, tweets, messages, last phonecalls, and contacts. Or it pops up when simply clicking a icon, and further clicking on the widget opens the app.
Sounds good :thumbup:
Thanks don't hurt ya know?

Samsung GNote 10.1 (Stock)
Sony Xperia Z (borrowed, rooted)
Wexler comes to mind...
With some work it could be done kind of, using SSLauncher: Only 2 pages. One page with informative widgets and hidden buttons to start shortcuts. One page with big folders 2*3 grid, when clicked they open folder showing app icons at normal size.
Minimal, non-distracting, fast. Screenshots below.
Sound almost exactly like folder organizer. You can have a scrollable folder on your home page(like the tools one in screen) or have icons like the those in the screen( tools games) when you click on the icon, you get an app drawer with only the apps you specified as that category. It also asks what you want to categorize an app as when you in install it, on a per app basis,
