Limited number of applications in a folder? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I was trying to make a folder with all my games by dragging and dropping on one another, but for some reason it says its full.. maybe 30 apps or so. My galaxy s2 on ICS can have over 100 apps in a folder. What's wrong?
Thanks

Or is the unlimited apps a touch wiz thing?

Likely a TouchWiz only option.

It's a custom launcher thing.
Nova Launcher will allow you to have unlimited apps in folders.

Do you have to be rooted to use a launcher like Apex?

Are all launchers and themes for rooted devices only?
I believe you can use them without root, you may be missing some features though

You don't need root to switch launcher. Just install a launcher, and press the home-button. You'll get a popup-question that asks which launcher to use, choose the one you want, and select the "Use always" option.
It's resetable of course.
But often you'll get more options with root.

Thanks for the help. Most launchers are at the play store?

[Q] Titanium pro

may seem like a dumb question but when Titanium Pro backs up system data and apps does it also back up movies in my download folder and stuff like that?
No. Only apps and app setttings.

Extended folders?

I was wondering if there is a way to extend the capacity of apps in a folder. I need more than 16 apps per folder. I'd prefer if there us a way to do this without rooting, however all ways are accepted thanks.

Good question. I wanna know this as well
Download Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher. They're both free on the PlayStore

The Nova Launcher worked like a charm! Thanks a lot! I think it makes my Nexus 4 even faster but that is just me

air command
Sorry for the noob question, I'm waiting to get my note 3. The air command from the stylus is not launcher related right? If i change launcher they are still there?
Thanks!

No it's not related to Launcher. Will work with Nova as well as any other Launcher.

I can't get adw to stick as my default launcher

I can't seem to get this launcher to stick.
I'm not rooted btw. Tia
It's been a while but I think the trick is to remove ALL of the widgets from the touchwiz screens. I fought with the same issue when moving from my Charge to the Note 3.
Edit: I'm still not rooted either.

does that include folders?
Can't say for sure. I deleted everything and started clean - no apps, no widgets, nothing. I think the widgets are all that matter since many of them are always "active".

Has any one else run I to this problem...cuz it's driving me nuts
Nothing?
I will be setting up my wife's Note 2 this weekend with ADW. Will keep notes as to what I had to do and will pass it along. I know it was the same issue with Charge and this beast.

Try long pressing the home button, then select task manager, then select clear defaults and then clear the default launcher. When you press the home screen again it will ask which launcher, select ADW and tap always.

Yep That will do it.

OT: I conversed with you over at the Charge forum. I got my Note3 last Wednesday, I'm in love and my wife's jealous. She got a S4 and is complaining about her battery running down.
On Topic: I'm using Next Launcher and didn't have any problems with it and my touchwiz setup.
