touchwiz 4.5/tw launcher - organize app ideas? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

how do you guys sort your apps in folder and app drawer?
im currently running touchwiz 4.5 from task650 ics'd out v5 rom and app sorting only works within each grid. i want all the apps with all the grids to be sorted alphabetically.
Are there also no way to sort in folders?
appzorter doesnt work for touchwiz 4.5.
i want to know your ideas.

You need to open the app drawer. Menu button then edit. You have to manually organize your apps in alphabetical order. I have always been able to move apps to different drawer screens. When you download a new app just move it into place.

I know about that. I just thought there might be something i missed or an automatic way.

Contact Widgets

Which do you use? I can't find one that will let me back it up so I don't have to redo it every time I flash a different ROM.
I like the TW contact widget, and tried to get it from a thread in the Themes and Apps section. Downloaded and went to install .apk and got "Application not installed". Know of anything similar?
Which methods do you all use for accessing your most frequent contacts in a one-click type way?
The People widget in LauncherPro Plus. Its awesome, and people theme it all the time, along with the other Widgets that come with LPP.
You can't install a system apk the normal way. You gotta push it to the system/app and then set the right permissions for it.

I totally agree. All of the LPP widgets are cool, in my opinion. Then I also love how you can totally customize them, as shown in this thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=783427. Makes my homescreen very nice and consistent.
if you use a launcher (not lpp) that supports scrollable widgets, check out colorize widgets in the market..or signals modded colorize widgets in android development: themes/apps
Here is a link to the TW launcher and widgets:

Thats what I did, I prefer TW actually. I know it sounds crazy.

Organised Drawer on the market is the nearest I can think of.
It's more of an app drawer replacement I think, but will do the job.
You still can as far as i know...
From the app drawer: Menu Button -> Edit -> Drop applications onto "Add Folder" at bottom of screen -> Drop newly filled folder into app drawer.
I haven't used any gingerbread rom past KI3 so maybe something changed, but I just upgraded to ICS and the options is still there so i doubt it.
Can you not just touch and drag
An app over another one to create a folder?

On the ICS stock launcher home screen, yes. In the app drawer, no. In Touchwiz, no.
Isn't he using
Adw launcher?
Edit- NM I've just tried it doesn't work. What about trying go launcher ex I know that allows for folders and a lot more customisation.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Yeah you might be right. I haven't used ADW EX since before the recent big updates though. Previously when I tried it folders weren't possible in the app drawer...
One of the major reasons I stuck with Touchwiz actually.

What is the best option for App Drawer Replacement?

I have LauncherPro and I know that I can change the app drawer with this homescreen replacement app. But what I'm wanting to know is which app drawers you guys would recommended? I want it to be customizable so I can group apps. Any feedback would greatly be appreciated

I believe Alt Drawer will let you do this.
I ran across that earlier ill give it a test. Thank you for your input

An interesting feature would be the ability to group apps into folder like eyelauncher does
Didn't the dev of Alt Drawer discontinue development a long time ago. I believe he open sourced the app and someone else picked up the project. I think it's in the play store under AppDrawer or something like that.
Apex launcher allows app drawer groups and is a very nice launcher in general.

[Q] App Drawer hide folders

Hi guys,
As you can see in the attachment, I've organized all my apps in folders inside app drawer.
But I would like to know if it would be possible for me to hide certain folders, such as the folder named "Others".
Thanks for your help.
XDA rules
No one? :-\

I think it's not possible to hide folders in TouchWiz, but I don't use TW Launcher for a long time so maybe I'm wrong.
Either try TW Launcher 4.5, it could have the ability to hide icons (but I am not sure) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061883 or use some other launcher (GO Launcher, Nemus Launcher, Launcherpro...).

[Q] Hiding apps in Sense 3.6

Does anyone know of a ROM, MOD, or app that allows the user to hide apps in the Sense app drawer? That's pretty much the only reason I use a third-party launcher, now that Sense 3.6 has folders...

Probably not the option you want, but if you never use an app you can "freeze" it using titanium backup and that will hide it from the drawer.
That's what I do with the stocks app and such. It let's me use sense and get rid/hide a few apps I never use.
Would be a cool mod if someone could make a selectable list for the app drawer. Hopefully Htc adds the functionality some day.

As far as I know, there is a file that controls what is seen in the tray but it's only read during the first boot after a rom install.
I believe the only way you can "hide" apps is by disabling them. You can do this by going into Settings>Apps and select whichever app you want to disable.
This will remove the apps from being seen in your app drawer and prevent them from being active.
