how can i put folders (NOT at the Home screen) in the menu screen. you know, you press the middle icon at the home screen wherein to enter the menu wherein you can see ALL the applications and stuff. i would love to organize those applications inside folders. but i can't seem to find the option where to do it. i am currently using coderom nexusace if that's even relevant. any help would be appreciated!

Use GOlauncher EX.. Or Panda home(i think).. I've used GO Launcher before.. It was nice.. U can tap and hold any apps in drawer and put on top any other apps and it will create a folder..
oh thanks for the quick reply! i would try that.

yeah. by the menu button you mean the left softkey button right? i tried that but it didn't do anything. long pressing the menu button would run google search.
This is what ull get when u press the menu:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
@the 2nd icon: "New folder"
The first three icons are folders.
I'm just using a theme so the menu might look different from urs.
darn. why is it like this.. nothing happens when i press the menu key. this only happens when i'm at the app drawer. with the other applications, my menu key works. is this a problem with coderom nexusace? or maybe with launcher pro?

My girlfriend has the X10 mini and when she removes an app from the phone, the icon is removed from the app drawer as expected but it leaves a space where the icon used to be which is never reused whn a new app is installed
she has several of these gaps now, has anybody else had this problem or know how to fix it or refresh the list maybe?

You should get a launcher like ADW. It has a much better drawer. There's no comparison between it and Sony's one.
The x10 mini's launcher tray is different from the trays of other launchers that just list the apps in alphabetical order - you can reorder them yourself - press the menu button, then select "Arrange icons" and you can drag the icons into a new order (so you can drag other apps to fill your spaces, or organise the apps by type, etc)

I think LauncherPro only works on Android version 2 and up.
Yeh i found the gaps that were left behind a bit annoying... but i also found scrolling through each page at a time and remembering where each app was annoying as well as i started to rack up quite a few pages and the app drawer always loads at the page u were last on.
But now i use helix launcher which puts it all in alphabetical order which i did found annoying at first as i wasnt used to it but getting familiar with what apps u have and what they're called as well as being able to see more apps on the screen and scrolling down to the bottom with 1 swipe makes it a winner!
If your gf doesnt regularly download lots of apps and uninstall them i'd suggest to just rearrange/shift the apps into the gaps for her or get her to herself.
I was wondering if it's possible to change an app's name and icon in the bottom dock? I can't seem to find any apps for it, the only ones (anycut, bettercut, desktop visualizer etc) I can find are only able to create shortcuts on the homescreen, but I can't put those in the dock.
I know there's LauncherPro/AWD, but I would like to keep using Touchwiz 4.
tl;dr:

You may consider trying out Bettercut or SuperShortcuts.
I have not tested those, but according to their features it looks to achieve what you are looking for.

Those apps create shortcuts on the homescreen, which you can't drag into the dock.

I don't want to use a launcher, but I would like to be able to to customise the icons and text. Something like what Desktop Visualiser does for home screen icons.
It should be possible since other launchers can do it, right? Or is TW a little bit too complicated?
I'm using Go Launcher Ex atm, it's pretty good but TouchWiz 4 feels faster and smoother.

Really?
My reading of the app description implies that one needs a launcher to make use of the dock customisation.
Correct me if I am wrong. If this is not the case then this may well be the answer. I am happy to pay for the app if it does the job; however I am reluctant to dive on in without confirmation that this is indeed the solution to the problem.
Can anyone confirm that Custom Launcher Icons can be used to edit the icon and text of a TW dock icon without the need for a launcher or root access?

Sorry for the wrong info guys!
Bummer. Thought we might have been on to something there. Never mind.

Me too. I'd like to change the contacts launcher to the browser launcher.
Yesterday I went from TW to Go Luncher it is prety awsome but I don't like that things that then you hit contacts from the dock and thenn want to go back (with key). first of all you go to phone and then I have to press back again in oder to return to home screen. And other thing is app drawer, then I open an app and hit back to close it I go to home screen not back to drawer. i feel inconvienent . Tell your experience with lunchers on yours S2
Thanks
I don't understand what you mean by pressing contacts in the dock and going back using a key.
There is no launcher that keeps open the drawer when selecting an app. I use MIUI, it has no drawer, apps are installed to the home-screen. So actually this takes away the 'inconvenience' you say you have.
Sidenote: Miui is not a launcher. It's a rom.
Touchwiz all the way!! Adw and launcher pro also good!

At home screen, at the buttom there are 5 icons and one is for contacts. Then I click on it it opens contacts list and then I want to exit I press back key (that light sensor) and it sends me not to home screen but to phone app (dial pad). On TW where was such thing.
I know that there aren't. But image that I open file explorer from drawer I use it, and then want to exit on TW I pressed back key and I would get back to drawer because I opened the program from it. But with GO luncher then I hit back I go to home screen. Maybe I miss something.
Sorry my english isn't very good

Using Go for a while now, love it have to say. Just remove that Stock Contact icon and replace with the system Contact icon, simple. The default dock icons of Go aren't pretty, black and white, ehh. I always replace all of them.
About other launchers, LP, Zeam and etc, they all are ****. What type of launcher is one in which you can't select a 480x800 wallpaper.
Nemus launcher is another good option, but it is still very basic.
And there is already a thread regarding launchers in Theme and App section.
Can you explain how to remove that Stock Contact icon and replace with the system Contact icon. I quite new here

Press and hold the stock contact icon, you will get options like Delete, Replace, Gesture. Click Delete. You will see a + icon, add Application, then select Contacts.
DONE.
Go Launcher for its widgets, was a launcher pro plus user but now prefer Go as they are constantly updating lpp seems to have gone to sleep.

Just change all the the default dock icons in the same way as Contacts. Then you'll have a dock like me

Done but in the future I think I will look for icon pack because the default was so cute .
So there left one problem. And it is with drawer and apps which I mention previously maybe someone have solution for it?
And in oder not to creat a new thread, I would like an app which shows what apps are running (something like the task maneger widget in TW). Go task maneger isn't very good for me. Maybe some knows something similar?

In the app drawer of Go there is a Running tab. You can choose and close apps from there.
Is there any way to change soft key actions like MENU key to open app drawer.
No launcher provide the feature to change menu key action. Is there any way to do it???

this is indeed possible, BUT it doesn't work for the menu button bu the home button.
if you install a custom launcher. i think launcher pro and adw.launcher both have the option to tell the launcher what to do when you push the home button.
launcher pro it is
menu --> preferences --> behavior settings --> home key action --> open/close app drawer
if you do this and have launcher pro as your default launcher it will open the app drawer when you push the home button

Ah ok, remapping the menu button seems to be a bad idea, it it needed for the android unless you have 4.0
There are some apps that can remap the search button though, root required
