App Drawer Folder vs Homescreen Folder - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I have created some folders in the app drawer.
I've put these folders on my homescreen and was wondering if there was a way where I could put more apps into an existing app drawer folder and have it reflect the changes on my homescreen folder.
Ex. a Games folder in the app drawer and on the homescreen. Download a new game, put in app drawer folder - is there a way for it to show up on my homescreen folder?
Thank you!

Icons folder in gallery

For some reason a new folder popped up in my gallery called icons with what seem to be google maps icons. I can't find it on my sdcard and I would like to delete/hide it from the gallery.
Does anyone know how?
Thanks.

you need to use something like desktop visualiser or folder organiser
When you add a new shortcut you get an option to change the icon right after selecting the app. Would be so nice if you could change icons on existing shortcuts.

With Bettercut or Desktop Visualizer.

Here's a tutorial on customizing LauncherPro - lots of links to icon & dock collections there, as well as some custom Desktop Visualizer icons.

Am I right in guessing nobody found an answer?
might be easier just to use adw and get a theme that you like, it's less hassle and changes the icons for you...

Yeah I have ADW all set up and organized with the icons I like.
Thing is, I'm trying LP since yesterday and my Milestone 2 (Droid 2) feels faster and more responsive... And I'm not using live wallpapers or any other bloatware lol.
For example, when I click on a blank spot and click on 'create widget' (normal widgets, not LPP widgets) the menu for the widgets appear instantly. In ADW after I click 'widgets' it takes three seconds for the widget menu to appear.
Same thing with the app drawer, 3 seconds of black screen on ADW and instant on LPP, and I'm using the 3D mode in both.
You can change folder color by using 7Zip, Find your Launcher Pro .APK file right click, select 7Zip, OPen Archive. Drag the res file to your desktop. Click " Drawable-hdpi find the PNG folder files, should be two(OPENED, and CLOSED). Edit files with Photoshop or whatever program you desire and SAVE. Go to APK folder in 7Zip and delete the res folder. After your done drag the modified res folder back to where you originally grabbed it in the 7Zip file. Install APK on your phone and your folders should all now be your modified version. Caution you will have to un-install Launcher Pro first then redo your folders.

Game folder or widget?

Sorry if this sounds stupid but how would I go about making a games folder for all my games. I'm on taboonay so the games have all been removed. If I use a widget would that take me to a location where all games are stored, not apps screen? I've been focusing so much on performance that I've only just got around to personalizing the tab after a month of use!
Try Folder Organizer or circle launcher

+2 for folder organizer lite. Once you make your folders and add in all your apps or links I then use the widget Desktop Visualizer to make my own icons.
If you use DV, add the widget and pick the size you want. Then when you see the green outline for the app on the screen choose other, folder organizer link and then pick your folder. It looks very clean with a variety of sizes for the icons. (Before setting it all up though- Just download a pick for your icon and choose it from the gallery when your setting up the widget, or you can just use organizer lites icons)

I'm using astro to view the zip file containing the icons i downloaded but i can't see the icon image when choosing. All have the same file image so it's a painin the arsegoing throughthem all. What am I doing wrong?
Did you unzip the files? Then you have to view the images so that the gallary is associated with them. Then when you set up the DV widget you choose the icon, just have to know where to find them. They don't have to be icons from icon packs though, you can use any small sized JPEG as well.

All sweet with the widgets, how can i just have widgets with icons and no text labelling the folder. Folder organizer won't let me have a link with image only. Is this possible?
The text sayin "games" kind of ruins the nice icon.

Thanks again.

Oneplus 6T alphabetical order in home folders

Hello everybody,
I'm a new 6T owner and for the first time I'd like to keep it with stock Pie rom.
A question for the default drawer: I create some folders with my apps on home, but all icons inside are random, without an alphabetical order.
Is it possible to set alphabetical order for app icons inside folders in home?
You mean order in folders, not in app drawer, bevause there it is the default order, the title is misleading, correct please if you can.
They are not random: the first is what you added first, the second is what you added next, etc... And you can change an order by pulling the icon where you want it inside youe folder like on your home screen.
I accidentally added them alphabetically because I selected what I want while scrolling in app drawer.
