Hi,
After installing new app, a new icon got created on 2nd tab and looking for first empty space
I have no issue of new icon creation
But is there anyway, to configure it to be placed on first empty after 2nd tab
So I want 1st and 2nd tabs to be locked and changed only by me, beyond that it's for new things
Are you saying that whenever you install a new app you don't want it to appear on the first two homescreens? If so you could fill up the empty spaces on the first two homescreens with blank icons or an empty zooper widget or something, you could also disable automatically adding new app icons to the homescreen and manually add them wherever you prefer.
Thanks for the reply
Yes, you got my requirements correct
But thought of direct setting, which could do that
I will try the empty icons and check how it works

Thanks. I will check it out.
Solution found guys. There is an app on Market called "Folder Organiser Lite". Got everything customized through that app. Hope this helps those that were in my shoes.
I believe it only change shortcut icons, every icons in app drawer still the same.

You create "Labels" which equate to folders and then add apps to that label/Folder and assign an icon to that label/folder. Worked for me.
Hello.
I have a (broken) widget on my home screen that is broken and that i can't remove.
Any attempt to drag it to the waistbasket, results in the selection screen for a new shortcut.
I can find the widget still in my 3rd party widget list. It's called "Traffic" and has an icon of the green light of a trafficlight.
I need to know where on the S7 the information on that widget is stored, so i can remove it by hand.
Thanks in advance.
PS. Oh, and i have tried all suggestions given by the site when i posted this topic.
If you have root go on data/system and edit appwidget.xml removing that widget.

The widget i'm talking about is a 3rd party widget.....
Hi.
Just got a Nexus 4 after some thieving Spanish barstewards stole my Note 2. Loving the phone so far.
Quick question. Can you add to the Google apps folder on the home screen that is there when you first start it up? I know you can delete from it as I deleted the Youtube widget, but I wanted to add the Google Now widget but when I try to add it as if it was a folder it doesn't work.
Is it just not possible?

Guess I'm not following what you mean exactly by folder?
Are you using the stock launcher or another launcher (ie: apex, nova, etc) .
Normally to add a widget you would simply long-press the home screen, select widgets, and pick that, and should show up as a widget, if you're creating a folder you're probably dragging the app icon onto something else.
Yeah, I thought I wasn't explaining myself very well.
It's stock launcher. On the home screen, when you first set up the phone, there is a widget/folder titled "Google" which is effectively a folder containing the widgets for various Google apps ie Gmail, Google+, maps etc. I wondered whether it is possible to add to this folder (for want of a better word). If I try to drag a widget over it that doesn't work.
Hope that's a bit clearer.
Don't worry - sorted it.
Hi all, I am trying to develop a widget that works similar to the App Folder that comes standard with android. The functionality is that you can drag and drop apps into a folder so that your homescreen is a bit more organized. Is it possible to create a widget that can accept a drop of another application?
I have done a lot of searching on google and have come up short. Any help is appreciated.

AFAIK, there's no way of doing this except with building your own home screen launcher since (most) Android launchers move widgets out of the way if you drag a shortcut on them (JB+) and do not pass any event or call to the widget (all versions).
You can, however, create that Widget and in the setup screen show a check list with all apps so the user can choose there which apps they want in the folder.

That's a good idea. :good:
Yeah, as far as I know there is no way to do this, too.
Thanks guys. I do currently have an app Chooser available to populate my current widget. I was just looking for a way to make it easier to add apps to the widget.
After searching around and trying different things I figured it wasn't possible but never found any info good or bad so I figured I would ask the experts.
Thanks again for your help! :good:
The system always adds new icons (not to Home Screen, where you can move them around) alphabetically. Is there anyway to let it add app icons as the iPhone does? Always add to the last available position, so I can find the the old apps at the same location on the screen. Thanks in advance!:good:

Why don't you just position them yourself? Just long press, drag and drop.
