TouchWiz launcher doesn't support that functionality. You can download Nova Launcher though, which is an ICS based launcher and does support on the fly folder creation.

What you have to do is go to your home screen. Press menu and then create folder

exactly. I had no trouble creating folders. You can rename them and when you add apps tiny images of the apps are saved on the face of the folder.

If like me you have 5 plus screens, check out apps organiser, I think its great, I'm now down to 2 screens. Simply create labels to group apps by and place all apps in these groups meaning you are never further away from anything by 2 clicks! this also means less memory in use for your launcher.happy days, give it a whirl

AFAIK, apps must be placed in android folders manually, and if you accidentally delete the folder, you have to do the same thing again. With apps organizer it's much easier with this so called labeling. Also, new apps go instantly under label "other apps".

You can do this only by modifying smali files and xml files in touchwiz30launcher.apk
You can't request anyone... do it by yourself

Created shortcuts on my home pages to folders of apps. If I add apps through the menu to the folder the folders on the home screen don't refresh to reflect this?

Sorry. Thats not how it works. Folders will work independently. If you want to add apps to home screen then tap and hold the app in the app drawer and the release on the home screen folder

So when I setup my phone I put all the apps in the app drawer in various folders. I then put these folders on a home screen. I wasn't thinking. Now I want all the apps out of folders for easy alphabetical sorting and finding. Is there a way to unfolder them short of dragging each one out one at a time?

Figured it out. Drag the folder to "remove" in the edit screen.

I just got this phone and I don't know if I'm just an idiot or what. . But how I the heck can I get rid of the folders that came preloaded and just have apps in my drawer?

I don't think it's possible without root.

When you open the app drawer, hit the menu button and then edit. You can drag the stuff out of the folders and even create your own if you like.

And in edit, you can drag the whole folder to delete. It deletes the folder and places the apps inside it into the main drawer.
Root not required.
