Serious Widgets and Folders for the Serious Android User
Do you have bookmarks, shortcuts, contacts and apps that you use all the time, but they're scattered here, there, and everywhere on your smartphone? How much time do you waste navigating to the things you need? Don't you wish you could just put them all in a folder or two, easily accessible on your home screen?
Application Folder helps make folders accessible from your home screen using instantly recognizable icons. Set up and customize folders, stuff them full of apps, bookmarks, and contacts, and place them as widgets anywhere on your home screen. Now those frequently used apps, bookmarks, and contacts are right there for you to access immediately.
The King of Folders
Let's say you want to be able to e-mail certain contacts quickly. First, access Application Folder through your Widgets menu. Next, create a folder and long-press the standard icon and replace with the e-mail symbol, or any of Application Folder's dozens of attractive icons, such as an airplane, bus, movie reel, pen, paint pallet, etc. Now choose the contacts you want to be in this new folder. Select Menu, then select Apply and exit, and that folder-widget is now on your screen. Tapping on the widget will bring up your chosen contacts that you can now use to e-mail with one tap. You can set these contacts up to be phoned or texted with one tap as well.
We Want Widgets
Create a folder-widget for family e-mails. Create another folder-widget for your favorite games. With Application Folder, there's no more hunting down a function or link through various menu trees. The app, contact, bookmark, or song you want to access immediately is right there on your home screen. You can also customize the size of the widget.
Please note that Application Folder must be launched from the Widgets menu. After you launch the widget, Application Folder scans and organizes your applications, contacts, and bookmarks. Application Folder's main menu is also accessible from any of the widgets you've set up.

Choose custom icons to adorn your folders--anyway you like
Choose from four types of folder shapes and choose opening animations
Organize bookmarks, contacts, and shortcuts, as well as applications, the way you want, sorted the way you like
Are Amazon REALLY encouraging users to allow their devices to install content from unknown sources?
Whilst people here might know good from bad, I find the thought of the unwashed clueless installing any old APK because Amazon showed them how to do it rather worrying.....
As it is, I got as far as them wanting me to install their marketplace, and then I gave up. I couldn't be arsed with some free content just so they can muddy the Android content waters... (You can bet Apple will be using that as the next thing to beat Android up about).

You do realize that any non-Google market place would have to do that, right? But look at it this way...at least you have the choice. If this were Apple you would be screwed.
To be honest it is nice to have the option of a various market place applications (although useless they may be sometimes). Thanks for the post OP, I will be using this.
@MISFITZ / I'm duly impressed. It's like a combination from Folder Organizer and Wizz Bar. I can put this to good use. Ahhh, A new app to tinker with. hehe
Thanks and gave you a thanks too.
EDIT: Is there anyway to adjust the size of the widget icon? I tried tinkering with the margins but that didn't work and next I tried editing the widget by dragging the edit box outward but it did not affect the icon itself. Thais would be a really kewl feature. Can you try and implement that into the next update? Thanks
It seems like your and mine conception of FREE differs.

It was the free app of the day a few days ago when he posted. He probably should have noted it was just that one day in his post to avoid confusion later, but it was true at the time.

The notifications tray is great, easily pops down most of the time and the apps tray (with ALL the apps) is just as nice.
But i would like a extra tray for settings and/or favorite apps instead of clogging the "desktop" with shortcuts.
like a tray that flips out from the side of the screen.
is it even possible to add a off-screen container such as the above mentioned dropdown/up trays?
and if yes, are there any available at this time?
I know this isn't going to answer your query, but what is wrong with just populating one of your home screens with shortcuts?
I mean, if you do this with one of the screens either side of the "centre" home screen, you effectively get what you require.

Dave
I do use the screens as placeholders for my everyday apps, but most of the time i need a app thats on another screen, meaning i have to go look for it.
With a pulldown tray that would pop out from the side, i could keep my most used apps more conviniently located, just a tap away, instead of 1 to 6 swipes away.
since the apps and notifications are dropdown/up i feel its missing dropdown left/right, witch is the real reason im wondering.
it would be great with apps on one side and settings on the other, then i wouldnt use more than one or two homescreens for widgets only.
I seem to recall one of the home replacement apps had this...I can't recall which.
I know, what you mean.
It's not so nice, to put hundreds of widgets and Shortcuts on the screen.
I don't like it on Windows Desktop, too.
Therefor, I have loaded Apps Organizer from Market.
I put my Apps in 5 Folders, sorted.
Is that something to try for you?

I recently converted from a strictly WinMo user to Android and having struggled to find apps stored on my phone because of a lack of folder organisation, am thrilled to find this app. Many thanks!

actually you can do that with the stock sense widgets, as there are folders for the homescreen. afaik they don't support custom icons though.
Hi all,
i have just installed miui rom and really like the ui and particularly the speed of the rom.
the one issue i have is the lack of app drawer and the apparently random nature of application placement on the home screens. having browsed the threads this appears to be a 'feature' of miui...
to manage these apps it is recommended to use folders. but speed is an issue to me. creating a folder is easy enough, but i find it extremely slow to long press on an icon and drag to the necessary folder for all my apps. i would have liked to see a quick way of management, similar to folderorganizer app where you can quickly place multiple apps in folders.
does anybody have tips that allow better / quicker management of apps and folders in miui?
I'm using LauncherPro on top of MIUI. It's awesome and very fast! Especially after LP was optimized for Gingerbread.
ive been using miui for a few weeks now and i think its great, i havent installed any launchers on top as i think it kinda messes with the whole idea of the rom in the 1st place.
but one thing ive found out is when u click and hold an icon so u can move it, u can use another finger/hand to scroll thru the pages. that way i managed to quickly sort eerything into folders and where on which page i wanted it
hope that helps
otherwise use launcher pro or adw launcher, from past exprience i prefer ADW Launcher Ex best $3 spent on the market for me
hi ruskival - thanks for the tip.
i just wish there was a quicker way to organise, and to use labels rather than folders (like folder organiser, which, despite its name uses labels rather than folders...).
oh, and scrollable widgets please!!
i love widgets as a quick view to my calendar, mail, messages, rss feeds, facebook, twitter etc.
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?
HTC Desire HD (PACMan)
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,

Hi.
Just got a Nexus 4 after some thieving Spanish barstewards stole my Note 2. Loving the phone so far.
Quick question. Can you add to the Google apps folder on the home screen that is there when you first start it up? I know you can delete from it as I deleted the Youtube widget, but I wanted to add the Google Now widget but when I try to add it as if it was a folder it doesn't work.
Is it just not possible?

Guess I'm not following what you mean exactly by folder?
Are you using the stock launcher or another launcher (ie: apex, nova, etc) .
Normally to add a widget you would simply long-press the home screen, select widgets, and pick that, and should show up as a widget, if you're creating a folder you're probably dragging the app icon onto something else.
Yeah, I thought I wasn't explaining myself very well.
It's stock launcher. On the home screen, when you first set up the phone, there is a widget/folder titled "Google" which is effectively a folder containing the widgets for various Google apps ie Gmail, Google+, maps etc. I wondered whether it is possible to add to this folder (for want of a better word). If I try to drag a widget over it that doesn't work.
Hope that's a bit clearer.
Don't worry - sorted it.
Hi all, I am trying to develop a widget that works similar to the App Folder that comes standard with android. The functionality is that you can drag and drop apps into a folder so that your homescreen is a bit more organized. Is it possible to create a widget that can accept a drop of another application?
I have done a lot of searching on google and have come up short. Any help is appreciated.

AFAIK, there's no way of doing this except with building your own home screen launcher since (most) Android launchers move widgets out of the way if you drag a shortcut on them (JB+) and do not pass any event or call to the widget (all versions).
You can, however, create that Widget and in the setup screen show a check list with all apps so the user can choose there which apps they want in the folder.

That's a good idea. :good:
Yeah, as far as I know there is no way to do this, too.
Thanks guys. I do currently have an app Chooser available to populate my current widget. I was just looking for a way to make it easier to add apps to the widget.
After searching around and trying different things I figured it wasn't possible but never found any info good or bad so I figured I would ask the experts.
Thanks again for your help! :good:
