I use the folder organiser app to create folder like the one you mentioned
You can't create folders in with the standard honeycomb launcher, try ADW EX
ES File Manager will do the trick, and a lot more

let me help a bit more here.
For some strange reason, google took out the default folders in honeycomb. So now you have to use a third party application, but don't worry because many of them are actually better, and you can also add a custom icon to your folder.
The three big ones are:
Folder Organizer (paid), allows you to make folders and give custom icons to any app you have installed. Lots of customization but the icons get a little smaller than the phone versions. You can also choose the order of the icons in your folder.
Apps Organizer (free). basically nothing more than putting your apps into folders. Also allows you to customize the icon of the folder. icons are phone size.
Smart Shortcuts (free). allows for apps, contacts, and bookmark folders with customiseable icons. no sorting. icons are phone size. Though the dev has told me personally that he's working on enabling the larger honeycomb icons.
there are others such as ES file manager but these are the 3 big ones. personally i use smart shortcuts on my transformer as well as folder organizer for custom icons (desktop visualizer doesn't work on honeycomb yet.
Thank for all you help guys!

Ok so I know theres ADW Home which is my favorite.. But I hate how I cant have friend stream nor the mail and calendar widgets from HTC. Is there anyway I can change the icons without having to change everything else? and/or the dock.
Yeah. I made a folder on the sd card root and loaded it with my own custom icons. Then in ADW, long press any app and select edit. Then click on the icon and choose select image. Browse to your icon folder and select.

You can change the function of your sense dock by visiting my thread on button mods. There is a link in my signature for it. Then you will still be able to use all the Htc widgets.
what do you guys use?

Just checked it out. One of the coolest apps out!
I use Circle launcher and Folder Organizer
I asked the same-ish question myself a few weeks ago and after working my way through a few choices I found that adw launcher for the shortcuts and folder organizer were exactly what I wanted in terms of simplicity. I just checked out a few icon packs here and found some nice simple ones for the shortcuts.
I use folder organizer..
how to create a folder with a single app inside on the screen?
i cant seem to find any way to create a folder, except by dropping 2 shortcuts together (like the stupid iOS way.. )

It's not possible... and why a folder for only one icon? To access it you have to do one extra click... Am I missing something?
thx for the answer..
well, since i like to categorise apps, i have those "News", "Reference", "Navigation", "Game - Action", "Game - Leisure", etc. folders..
then i have this app which ideally fits to "Game - Strategy" folder, and unfortunately i have only this single app of this type..
so im now left with 2 game folders with many games inside, and a single game icon sitting alongside.. nothing big deal.. but it hurts my universe with this un-equilibrium state..
anyway thx for ur answer..
It seems not possible. If you want to show the app like folder you can change the app's icon and name by pressing on the icon. Then, it will be shown as a folder. Of course, it will start just one click.
Tried it on Nova launcher, didn't work either :-S I also have a case of OCD. I just wish these launchers could have folders in the app drawer, like GO Launcher EX
1. Drag 2 apps together to make folder.
2. Drag second app out from it.
But this doesn't work in all launchers.

Get another app of that type
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 ...
Hi all,
I'm using Nova Launcher Prime and have set my Nexus 7 up so I have just one home screen with a custom wallpaper, and invisible shortcuts made using Desktop Visualizer.
I think it looks great, but I don't like the small folder that pops up, and would prefer a shortcut to a folder in the App Drawer. But I can't for the life of me work out how to do this! Surely this is possible!?
I tried installing Solid Explorer, having read on another thread that that app can do the trick, but I can't find the correct directory to create the shortcut to.
Hope someone out there can help, and hope I've explained myself properly!
Cheers!
