I know I can use folders to organize my home pages, but is there anyway to organize my actual apps? I'd like them to be organized in folders from the app page itself, but I don't wanna root the phone. I'm assuming there's likely no way?

I have an Evo with stock OS. When I first didn't see any way of storing browser bookmarks into folders, I assumed I just needed to dig deeper. But now I've convinced myself that there is no way to create folders & store browser bookmarks into folders that are integrated into the browser. That really surprises me. I was able to do that in 2005 with WinMo.
Is there another version of the web browser that supports storing bookmarks in folders? If not - can someone recommend a decent browser that does?
if you're looking for a folder in sense, then just create one. then create shortcuts to your bookmarks you want. then drag and drop them into your folder.
btw this should be in the Q&A section. not here.
So I've never been content with the way I organize all of my apps into folders because I'm always confused as what to label the folders and what how to distinguish some apps. For instance, how can I determine if an app can be considered a "tool" or not because in reality most of our apps are tools..
Right now i'm using miui which places all your apps on the home screen and I don't like having 5+ pages of just apps.
What would be the best way to organize my apps into folders as well as you Multicon to just organize things a bit? What do you guys do?
I also am running MIUI and I have three folders...tools, apps, and games. It's your phone, so you decide what is a tool or app.
I have three folders- Games, Apps, Tools. I'm running MIUI but I use launcher pro and use SiMi Folder Widget for my folders.
Things I have in my apps folder: MeCanto, Moviefone, Pandora, Ringdroid, Shazam, XDA and MIUI forums apps, Yelp, stuff like that.
Things in my tools folder:Astro, Autostarts, MIUI backup, Root Explorer, MIUI Monitor, Remote Desktop and all the benchmarking apps.
Hope this helps.
Is there a way to edit the names of the Shortcuts on Home screen with the default Home Launcher? For example, I'd like to change "Dolphin HD Browser" to just "Dolphin". I don't like seeing the names being cut off.
I'm sure the information is around somewhere and I am also guessing the device would need to be rooted to do the job as well. Wish is was as simple as it was on WinMo 6.5 but it probably isn't.
Nope doesn't need root, simply install Folder Organizer, the app ownz by allowing you to put your apps in folders like iOS and also gives you easy way to rename the icons, uninstall the apps, etc

Nice, Thanks for the tip. Installin now...
I use desktop visualizer to rename shortcuts. Plus it's able to set custom icons too. Somewhat similar to folder organizer but it can't organize apps.
Ok the issue im having is all my pics are together. All I iwant to do is organize them with folders. For example. I want to make a folder just for Family Pics. I also want to make a folder where I just put my friend pics in. Right now im running File Commander. It came loaded in the phone when I got it. I can go right to the picture button and all my pics are right there. But why cant I create folders to organize them. Its so simple. I can rename pics and do almost anything else except put them in seprate folders. Does file Commander not have this feature? Do I have to download a different program that stores all the files (sorry i dont know what you call the file commander program) All I want to do is organize my photos and put them in the proper folders so they are easier to find.
I am very new to this so please explain it clear and simple.
Download Quickpic. Much better and easier.

It's now also possible using the latest Sony Album app (7.0+), as stated in talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Album/creating-folders-for-photos/m-p/946641#M1515.
In Album --> Folders select one or more pictures from a gallery and choose 'move to' in the options menu. You can select either an existing or a new folder as destination.
As the title says, my gallery folder is filled with either stickers from facebook messenger or ads from mostly i guess free games that show ads frequently, saved in a collection called "UnityAdsCache" Or "al"
I have already seen other threads about this but all i got was just to place a .nomedia into the data folder of a specific application, but whats the point if i have to guess and navigate to every single app that results in those random pictures and place manually a .nomedia folder in order to avoid them? That means that everytime i download an app that includes ads, i will have to place a .nomedia folder by myself.
Any solutions?

Glad I'm not the only one with this issue.
Usually those image files are stored in the app's data folder, which is a subfolder in /storage/emulated/0/Android/data. If you put the .nomedia file in the .../Android/data folder, all of the subfolders will be hidden from a Gallery app. That should hide most of those images. This will also cover any new folders added when new apps are installed.
Are you using the stock Gallery app? I use an app called Simple Gallery Pro that makes it easy to hide folders. It'll show you the entire path to the folder where the image is stored and give you the option to hide the folder higher up the tree. It also gives you the option to temporarily show hidden folders so you can find something if needed.
