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!

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.

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!
Sorry if this is posted in the wrong area.
I am looking for a launcher that just displays a list of all the applications installed on the NC. I have tried all the usual suspects (LauncherPro, ADW, Zeam, Go Launcher etc) but they all go the desktop first and then you need to open the app drawer to access the shortcuts. I could add shortcuts to the desktop but it does not seem to be a good use of time when the shortcuts to all apps are already there.
It would be nice if the launcher had a dock of favorite apps but not necessary. It would be even nicer if press the Home (N) button in the launcher displayed a list of running programs.
In summary, the launcher should work like the Home screen on iOS.
Any suggestions? Be nice now ;-)
Thanks
Have you tried the MIUI roms yet? They are basically designed to look like the iPhone design. If your just wanting a different home replacement then I always liked the Zeam Launcher because you could add like 4-5 shortcuts to the dock bar...hopefully this helps..

Thanks for the suggestion
I don't really want to try a non-standard ROM at the moment. I did try some of the MIUI themes for ADW and other launchers but all the themes really do is change the icons. That is, the functionality of the launcher does not change. The default screen for the launcher is the desktop and you have to add shortcuts to the desktop.
I might try loading a MIUI ROM on a bootable SD card and see how that works.
Thanks again

I haven't tried it...possibly get a key remapper. I think one of the launchers has one for the home key...see if this will work...
I've been using Zeam 2.8.8 as my desktop launcher and think it's great for our Nooks. I am having a problem when trying to remove large widgets, i.e 4x2, 2x3. I long press the widget and drag it to the trash can, I'm not that stupid, but when it's in the right spot the widget and trashcan are supposed to both turn red. Problem is on a grayscale like Nook there is no visiable change in color. Is there an app I can use to remove the widget? I've been looking for an app the past three days but not lucky. I also am using ES File manager which allow sys access. Is the wedget listed somewhere in the system files so I can delete it? Go Launcher is more better in terms of widget removal.
