Arranging Apps

Hey guys,
Is there an app that auto arranges the app drawer or a way to arrange the app drawer on my desktop somehow?
Thanks
I recommend https://market.android.com/details?id=com.abcOrganizer&hl=en been using it now ages and can access all my apps instantly after you arrange them in whatever order you want them to be in.
The main thing is that I really hate arranging apps in the normal app drawer... it takes forever. I'm looking for an fast and easy way to do it.

Which launcher do you use?
If you're using touchwiz you can try "AppZorter" in the market.
I'm using touchwiz. Just making sure I'm clear: I am looking to clean up the app drawer and not the screens.

If what you mean by clean up is to alphabetize and fill in the gaps found in the app drawer then the app I recommended earlier (AppZorter) will do the job for you.
Appzorter. Case closed.

YES!
Everything you're searching for is waiting inside the database (-files)
Just backup once you arranged your apps and simply restore after each firmware flash...

Another simplest way is Home screen -> Applications -> Menu -> List view.
It will arrange all ur apps view alphabetically.

Yes I did, and was a crafty update because I only usually get it through samsung AppStore, but this time it came through google playstore. Have disabled the app now.

Error: App Drawer background goes black

When I open an application through App Drawer of Google Now Launcher and close it after using App drawer comes on the screen. But the background is turned to black. When I go launcher screen and comes back then it will be OK
Also while on App drawer, if I click the recents and close any and come back to the App Drawer then the background goes black.
There is a lag while coming to the Launcher screen from any app.
The phone is rooted.How to fix this. Plz help

I need Google now as I swipe the screen. Does that come with Nova Launcher
uncheck Don't keep activities in Developer Mode
uncheck Don't keep activities in Developer Mode
This will fix the issue with the black background error and the lag.

Nova launcher

I'm using Nova Launcher on my S8 but when I swipe up to open the app drawer, I can see the home screen dock icons while swiping and it goes away when the app drawer is fully open? Is there an option to disable it?
Anyone experiencing the same problem?

Oreo app scaling

After I updated to Oreo I noticed that most of my apps were missing from the app scaling list, and the scaling button on the nav bar is not there when I open the app.
Whereas on Nougat I could force any app to go fullscreen from this menu, I seem to be stuck with black bars now on some apps, e.g. fruit ninja.
Does anyone have any solutions? Thanks.

There's this in settings, but tapping one of the games just takes you to the standard "app info" screen...

Hello. Today I updated LG G6 via LG Bridge to Android 8.0. Well, 1 app (Angry Birds Epic) has wrong aspect ratio. The edges are cut off. I check option "app scalling", but there is option for that game. I use Home and app drawer launcher. What else can I do ?

? Wonder how the drawer background could cause the app not to scale properly
I am using evie launcher, I have tried to force all app scaling to 18:9 and still cant get the launcher to have the home group buttons transparent. It used to work but not with oreo. Any help?
I think we're helpless unless LG releases an update or some dev makes a workaround.
Just in case anyone else likes using evie launcher but has been annoyed by it not scaling properly. (Or anyone that just likes the search feature of evie) I found an app called Fast Finder that I bound to a swipe gesture in Nova Launcher. It's a pretty good app, could use more customization but I'm hopeful that the dev will improve it.
Basically, I gave up on trying to get it scaled properly.
