Changing order of apps.

Is there an app or something where I can change the order of my applications on my Desire? At the moment they are sorted alphabetically but I wish to sort them in the order I want.
Is this possible?
Also, is it possible I can change the applications screen so there are pages where I can slide left to right instead of just one page where I slide up and down?
Thanks.

I would love a launcher with the "drawers" from iOS4, so you could have games in one, settings and tools in one, and media apps in another..

Btw, i don't care much for iOS, so don't flame me for posting a screen from it.

There's a home app called iHome. Pretty much an iPhone rip, but has some pretty good screen anims.
Or, get an iPhone 4?

this not a launcher but "apps organizer" does exactly what that screenie shows

Thanks will take a look.

Apps Organizer doesn't offer what the OP asked, only what the second poster asked for (I use it).
I've also been looking for being able to rearrange the app order for months.

[Q] Editing the "Me" contact card...

Whenever I look at a text message conversation it puts "Me" as blank picture: (see first picture).
But whenever I try to edit "Me" from the "People" application, the device just hangs and won't let me edit anything. Does this happen to anyone else or does anyone know where to fix it? Thanks!

From what I remember reading a while back, you will need to make sure that your sim card has your number set in to it... From what I remember reading, you can do this using an iphone or a blackberry... The cyanogenmod rom used to do this from what I recall... But can't say 100%...
Unless someone can correct me, as I only used android for a few weeks

I'd like to piggyback off this question and ask if theres a way to make one of our contacts "Me" or just overwrite it.

On Windows Mobile there was an option to copy any contact into the "Me" contact but I can't find that option, should there be one on Android!

The "Me" thing is an HTC thing, not an ANDROID thing. In Vanilla Android there is nothing like this in the People area, you just have a contact card of yourself. I can edit my "Me" information fine. If you go on Google.com and edit your contacts with your name, it seems to change it as you login to facebook and stuff and it auto associates you with yourself, ie my Facebook is Josh ______, my twitter is GlitchZero, it auto links these things to "Me" or "Josh ______" in my Google contacts.

Ah thank you for that information. I did a hard reset & made sure "Me" was not associated with any Facebook or Google account & it works perfectly, thanks!

Glad I could help.

Can Someone send me a G+ invite

[email protected]
Thanks,
wbonney4

what's G+ ?

g+ is short for google+. its pretty much like facebook but its still in beta. you have to have an invite from someone in the beta program to use it though.
im not positive but someone here on xda has said that google has opened it to everyone with a gmail, if not i could send out a couple invites. just pm me your gmail & i'll send out the 1st 5 requests. i just started using it yesterday so im not sure how many i can send out yet.

if u could get one please send me an invite [email protected] thanks

i just looked & the invite option is shut down right now. i believe they do that when they're servers get overloaded. it was like this lastnight as well but by morning they opened it back up. i'll send wbonney4 & you an invite as soon as they open the feature back up.

i apriciate man thanks

Your invite is on it's way. (by email)
Keep trying it.. G+ does sometimes open the invitations.
PS. Do not just post your email address like this on forums. (mask it, or use something like kijk.info (

"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
)).
That is.. If you do not like spam. If you do, than please ignore this PS.

yeah i noticed this morning the opened it back up so i sent out both invites. you can wait anywhere from 20 mins to 24hrs before you recieve it so dont sweat if it hasn't come yet.

i will be waiting for mine craze

I'd love to try it too.
please.
Thanks!

Is there a fix for this?

Did you send a large amount of messages?

This happens when you send too many text within a short amount of time. Just restart the phone and you can continue sending your messages again without interference. If it starts popping up again you can just restart again.

This is what happens when you booty-text half the girls in your address book.

Eh, the limit was actually reduced to 30 messages every 30 minutes in Jellybean from 100 / 30 in ICS. Kind of low IMO, especially when using desktop SMS services - very easy to send multiple messages.
Also, just a poor implementation of the feature overall - should have options to dismiss the warning forever, per app, or at least for an X hour period.

This wasn't an opinion question. I just want to know if there's a mod for this

Everything on the internet is an opinion question. Try this:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/32263-fix-jelly-bean-sms-warning-dialog/

CM10 allows this setting to be changed but stock Android has it locked at 30 texts per 30 minutes, which is absurdly low for someone who texts frequently or has a girlfriend who doesn't ever stop texting you :laugh:
I'd like to see the ability to edit this setting in a future stock release but in the mean time if it is really bothering you, check out a custom rom that features the ability to manually adjust this setting.

S8 Text Messaging on At&t

Beating my brain. I have noticed when I receive a lengthy text message it does not show the entire message. It gives me the option to "view all". I have searched the forums and the phone and can't seem to find an option to show the entire text. Is this just and At&t thing or Samsung?

Just an at&t thing need to download a different sms app

I'm with Rogers and I have the same issue.
I'm going to avoid the Samsung apps...seems like the best thing from the issues I'm having...

Thank you all for the quick replies ☺

But if the other person isn't using Hangouts then it still is horrible

Facebook app does it as well. Most people have it because Facebook forces it via mobile IF you want to message people..

Yaata
Textra
Pulse
Are all amazing texting apps!
Yaata is the most customizable...And my favorite - also has chat-heads, but Android O won't support chat-heads, as of now - But we still have about a year on that.
Textra is the easiest and looks GREAT, and it's been around for a long time (at least since my S3 days, probably longer). Maybe a little smoother than Yaata, but not as many options.
Pulse is new (ish), but seems to have great features.

Facebook messenger is my go to default for sms. Mostly because of the chat heads and integration with all my FB messages

If you use Google photo you can create a link to your video in Google photo then share the link on stock messaging app with a few simple key strokes . Simple for me since I don't need all the bells and whistles from other message apps, nor do I care to familiarize myself with a new message app.
