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..

I seen some screen shots from other evo users and noticed some have different icons. Where do i get different icons and how do i apply them?
I am new to android and changed my icons using folder organizer lite, which is free.
Probably some of the pros have better ways, but it's fairly easy.
is that an android app? Hmm ill have to check that out.
icon change
download the icon pack from the market of your choice then use folder organizer (from market) to change it under the apps tab then all you have to do is go on and add it as a widget under the folder organizer item widget

It can only be done with a homescreen replacement like launcherPro or ADW Launcher. Under the Preferences for them, find an option for hiding the icon labels.

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!

You could use desktop visualizer to kind of create icons, where you can choose the icon for application and so on...just take a look at it

Interesting, i have checked it out,going to play with it later (The app!) Then report back.Looks good though,cheers mate
This feature really should be included in sense,very time consuming having to use the app just to remove the text from under the icon.

Well, if you use a a different launcher, like launcherpro or adw, you can use custom icon packs(Suave etc).
Good app,desktop visualization shame it cant replace apps stock icon

Yup, using an alternate launcher in my opinion is the easiest way. There are plenty of themes available, and you can also change individual app icons very easily. I use Go Launcher Ex. It has some really cool transition animations.

I totally agree, HTC, must realise that ALOT of their customers want to tweek Sense more than they currently allow, so they eventually turn to other launchers.
Causing negative feelings towards Sense... as stable as it is!
I also prefer Go Launcher Ex for this, because not only does it allow Icons to be easily changed, but also renaming of apps.
I hate to see names cut off on the homescreen so I change them - for example
Tune In Radio is cut to Tune In... - so I change it to 'Radio'
One solution could be with Folder Organizer App. In Folder Organizer create a shortcut of app you want and simply change the icon. Afther that go to home, add, shortcut, Folder Organizer Item, shortcuts and select the one you created.
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!
I'm looking for a Folder widget like simi Folder widget that will work with my Nexus 10.
