Changing order of apps.

Is there an app or something where I can change the order of my applications on my Desire? At the moment they are sorted alphabetically but I wish to sort them in the order I want.
Is this possible?
Also, is it possible I can change the applications screen so there are pages where I can slide left to right instead of just one page where I slide up and down?
Thanks.

I would love a launcher with the "drawers" from iOS4, so you could have games in one, settings and tools in one, and media apps in another..

Btw, i don't care much for iOS, so don't flame me for posting a screen from it.

There's a home app called iHome. Pretty much an iPhone rip, but has some pretty good screen anims.
Or, get an iPhone 4?

this not a launcher but "apps organizer" does exactly what that screenie shows

Thanks will take a look.

Apps Organizer doesn't offer what the OP asked, only what the second poster asked for (I use it).
I've also been looking for being able to rearrange the app order for months.

What Are These?

On page 2 of my App selection screen I there are these outlines of what look like icons on the left side of the screen (see attached image). Any idea as to what those are for?
Thanks!

Thats the next page of apps. Slowly move the pages and you'll see. Just the out line of your apps

Press on them and you'll be taken to that page of apps. It's more of an indicator if you still have apps on additional pages in the app drawer. Looks cool too with the holo outline.

ah ok good idea thanks!

The perform two functions you don't immediately recognize.
1- Informing you of an overflow situation(i.e. "There's more stuff here")
2- Quick Navigation (Tap on it and it scrolls the page for you)
This is also evident on the homescreens, if you tap the edge of the screens it'll move to the next page for you.

Ha, really OP?
It looks really cool, but unfortunately many apps don't work fully and just show either a circle or square halo. It's great how the default apps have the actual outline.

Does anybody know how that outline is defined for app icons? Does it just take the transparency of the the png?

[REQUEST] Rotate This Softkey Image

Can you rotate this image

}
So that it's pointing to the right rather than up, and also rotate it so that it's pointing left? I try to do it in my Gallery app but then I can't use it on my NavBar . I wanted to be able to use it ad a custom image for my navbar icons
Also, can you mirror this one
Same deal with the above. I want to be able to use it ad a custom icon for my navbar

Here it is (I made it all because I didn't undersatnd very well what you wanted exactly...)

Thanks, but I can't use them
The red block in the bottom left is one if the icons you rotated
The background needs to be transparent somehow and I have no idea how to make it transparent
If this is too hard to do I'll settle with just one simple line that matches the height of the predator navbarset's back and recent button's top line

There !
Let me know if you want it more centered because on those ones I just cut, turn and it might not be centered as if it was the original.

[GUIDE] Launching the Multi-Control Panel with a single gesture WITHOUT Root!

For HTC One with firmware 4.2.2 or above, there is a very handy multi-control panel with can allow users enable and disable many features like Wifi, Data, Auto-rotation etc.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
However, the stupid Google UI design has made it very slow and complicated to launch the panel with 2 fingers simultaneously or swipe the notification bar down first and press the button to launch Control Panel.
Finally, I figured out a way to launch the Multi-control Panel instantly using one finer
It does NOT require root.
Here are the steps:
1. Download two apps at Google Play: "Nova Launcher" and "Swiping Home Button"
(The second app is a paid app, so you know it...)
2. Launch "Swiping Home Button and click "Binding"
3. You can customize your gesture here and personally I prefer to launch Control Panel by swiping up right (the one with Chinese word)
4. Click on the gesture you like and assign a shortcut to it. We are going to choose "App shortcut" here.
5. Choose "Nova Launcher"
6. Finally, choose "Extended Quick Settings"
You are DONE ! Enjoy the Multi-Control Panel instantly with one finger !

Hey Mate,
Does it mean that Nova Launcher has to be running at the background all times?

I really not sure. But I don't recognize any negative effect in terms of the phone's performance caused by this trick.

Yes. Also, Nova Launcher has gestures as well so I don't get the use of this.

Well, if you use this, then you can still use the Sense Launcher!

Fixed - How to get the thumbtack button to show on Action Memo? [PIC]

I couldn't for the life of me find that thumbtack icon / button which is suppose to be next to the X on the Top of the Action Memo. This will help me put them up on a screen as a widget. check the third image to the right. Any help would be appreciated!

Didn't even know you can do that.

Yeah, I'd love to just go to one of my screens and just start writing. But I can't find that thumbtack button. Here, i found a better picture. Do you see it on yours?

Nope, weird. Closest is long pressing the note within SNote and it gives me an option to send to home as a shortcut...but no pin.

I just saw a similar post in another thread... are you using the stock TW launcher? If you are using a replacemnet launcher like Nova, or Google now Launcher, you will lose the thumtack pin feature in action note. Action notess can only be put onto a TW homescreen.

Doesn't work on default launcher either just tried.

Yeah, that's what I thought it was before I posted this thread. Unfortunately, that darn button won't show up in stock launcher either. I'm thinking it's a different apk??

Maybe ? My Tmo firmware update already hit soon as I turned on don't know if it was there prior.

Ok I got it. From reading a similar thread, they're saying you need a reboot for the pin to show once you switch to touchwiz. I did not do the reboot so it was still missing even with touchwiz.
I'm also going to let nova launcher devs know this issue so they can fix it. For now I'm just going to use the action memo in the minimized form.

Did you get an answer from them?
