I'm using Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo RLS5 with Launcher Pro Plus for starters. I'm wanting to create folders for games and settings and what not to clean up my screens. By default, I can only make certain folders such as bluetooth received files and some other bs which I don't really care for. I tried creating a new folder, but I wasn't able to create a name for it, it was just named "Folder". Anyways, I'd like to know how to rename the folders and flash over some folder icons. Would like to make folders for music, games, settings, and possibly like social or something for all my communication apps. Just wondered what folder icons were pretty sick and could match what I have right now. This is my screen.

You can rename it by opening the folder and clicking the name in the titlebar. I'm not sure you can assign icons though. However, you can download Folder Organizer, which will let you choose icons, custom sort items in them, and a bunch of other cool things. Either the free or paid version will do what you're after, though the full version adds some convenient features.
Yeah I downloaded Folder Organizer today and was messing around with the folder options which is what I was looking for. Now, how am I able to get different icon packs? I tried looking in the market, but all those icon packs require different programs. So I'm a little stumped.
I've generally found what I'm looking for in the icon packs that are included. I have the paid version -- I'm not sure if there are more in the paid version than there are in the free version. I think you can also grab icons from applications on your phone, or just choose images you find from any source.

There arn't many options yet.
You can however close programs.
Show processes, apps active, a status screen, renew isn't working yet. The file explorer, cut, copy, open, , new folder etc.It is finger friendly
I made some screen shots, below. I made them using my Omnia i900 on which it works as you can see.It looks promising.
I enclosed the earlier version. Look for updates on the above link.

Nice start
i came across this yesterday.. its ok..but I wont be using it while Resco explorer does a great job
Hi hendrixus
Thank you for sharing, very good idea to have file explorer and task man in one app!
A few observations for the file explorer:
- You replaced tapping by sweeping
- Sweeping from left to right (right to left is more like flipping pages)
- The arrow is on all items (it should be only for folders, and takes space from long file names)
- Scrolling is not sensitive or fast enough especially for big folders like windows.
I'll try to test the rest, will keep you posted. In all an excellent application
can you make it suitable to use with wm6.5.1?
if this is a taskmanager
skinable?
is this thing skinable? i was tryin to find find the proper files but to no avail anybody know where and what the files are
I'm just thinking about all the apps I currently use on my Kaiser and how they'll work on the HD2 and i've got a quick question!
Assuming i leave all the HTC stuff as it is - how will I access apps that I currently access through the quicklaunch bar?
Examples of these apps are:
Magicall (used to screen/block calls)
PhoneWeaver (for customised profiles)
Pocketcontroller (remote desktop)
Also - does anyone know if SBSH's "Calendar Touch" integrates well?
Grateful for any feedback
(here's my current homescreen to show what i mean by the quicklaunch bar - in case i'm naming it wrong!)

You've got the choice of TouchFLO, Titanium (Windows Default, as it's called), or the old skool Today screen, as you've pictured.
I'd recommend playing with the first 2 before deciding how to set the phone up, as they offer a great deal of choice, especially with the excellent modding community on here.
There's a bunch of "buttons" on the home page of TouchFLO that allow you quick access to apps, contacts, or bookmarks, and you can arrange that as you like, so I assume that will give you the same thing that you currently have.
Hope this helps
Thanks
I know about the application shortcuts - but i'm not sure they'd offer the same functionality. For instance, when i tap on the PhoneWeaver button, it brings up a list of what profiles i can switch to etc, if i make a shortcut, i think it'll just load the program.
BTW remote desktop can be troublesome without stylus. I suggest you try it somehow before you buy it.

Oh right, I mean the other way round (remoting onto the phone from the PC)
Is there a way to choose custom folders in Sense Gallery or Android stock Gallery or Photos (Android 2.1) instead of having it show ALL the photos and videos?
I have an archive folder which has thousands of pictures and I don't want it showing up every time because it takes a while to load.
Or is there an apk that'll do this?
+1 I'm not a fan of this either... You can hide certain ones if you press menu but nothing specific.
Can't believe some of the brainiacs over here haven't figured this out yet..
create a ".nomedia" file in the folder
http://androinica.com/2009/08/28/ho...iles-from-appearing-in-android-media-players/
It's been discussed here before too
Gallery Enabler should do the trick. I haven't tried it on 2.2 yet but it works great on 2.1.

Gallery Enabler does the .nomedia trick, only from your phone so you can enable/disable folders whenever you like.

I know about the .foldername trick.. I don't like it though because a file or folder with . (period) in the beginning will not show up on my mac of pc either.. (on PC I could say view hidden files.. which again, I don't like..on Mac I'd have to install Houdini or something)..
Also It's a hassle when I WANT it to show.. in which case I'd have to rename the folder. I'd rather using a normal file name and not have it show

Awesome.. that worked. Thanks a bunch.
I have been searching around for a suitable theme for cm7, thou I found some really great looking theme out there, there is always something I like or don't like. So I thought I start a little project of my own to customize the theme myself.
I have been studying the framework.apk last night, but I am still not sure which file to change, because the naming is not too definitive to me. So I was wondering any theme builder out there can help me. Hopefully compile a guide for future beginners at some point as well.
The screenshot below with four different colour bracket is the parts I want to change, it would be so kind if someone can take a few minutes of their time to explain it to me with file I need to edit for each section.

/system/framework/framework-res.apk
Under /res/drawable-hdpi in the apk
The top bar icons are stat_
e.g. stat_battery36.png etc
Most of the images are in framework-res.apk so just have a look through there. You will need to decompile the apk to edit xml files for that search apktool
i heard that you can just add a .zip extension onto the apk file then you can just edit them there.
Or perhaps I am wrong, because once I change it to a zip file, I can't change it bk to apk even I rename the extension.
I am on a Mac, not sure if thats has anything to do with it.
thanks
Is ther a way to create folders to put apps inside the folders like the folders you can make on android phones?
I can't figure out how to do this on the iconia.
Thanks

not with the default Honeycomb launcher, no.
Install SiMi Folder from the Market, it's free. It lets you create folders then add apps to the folders you create accordingly.

Astro File Manager allows you to create folder
Astro allows you to create folders within the /root and other storage areas like the SD. I believe koozer and others (myself among them) are trying to add folders to the home screens.
Chlballi
File Manager HD also can create folder
I've been using the free version of folder organizer. Seem's to work fairly well. Haven't found anything better.
Folder on Iconia
That's correct - I am looking for the best and easiest way to create folders on the iconia screens to help me organize my apps better. Like how you can create folders on an android smartphone.
Any other app recommendations that can do this on the iconia are appreciated.
The Best Buy said that he thought honeycomb 3.1 would allow the creatiion of folders? Can anyone who knows more about 3.1 confirm this?
adwlauncher.ex has something similar now.
