Hello !
I have an Android 4.4.2 KitKat and I want to sort apps by type (tools, game, social ...) in apps drawer.
Is there any applications that can allow to create a sort by type ? I don't want to install new laucher like Go launcher but just mods or apks that can I use with my default launcher.
Suggestions?
Thank you !

I don't have ever seen this mods or apks before in xda/mobilism.org/other forum/....
if you prefer KitKat Launcher style with folders follow this:
KK Launcher Prime ( Android 4.4) v2.5

Yes, there are plenty of apps and launchers that allow you to sort you apps in the drawer. You can create folders if thats what you mean:highfive:
A great one I use is Epic Laucher, its also based on kitkat laucher + its free! You can find a link below along with a few others:

your welcome
create app folders in Android
a) Firstly, open you app window or application drawer.
b) Now from the list of apps, Long press the app you want to make a folder for. Long pressing the app should take you straight to the homescreen where you can drop the app.
c) Again open the app drawer and long press another app you want to put in the same folder. Without letting go, drag the app on top of the previous app to put them in the same folder. Repeat the process for other apps or games.
d) In the homescreen you should now see a round folder with the apps you just put in. You can name the folder by pressing it and clicking on “Unnamed Folder”.
That creates a folder on the homescreen, not in the app drawer. Or am I missing something?

Dear all,
I love the way LG stock rom devides apps in to default ones and Downloads. Moreover, it allows creating new categories to better organize apps. However, no custom rom (void, prime, lol,...) has this useful ability.
Do u know how to get this? Which app can help with the same need?
The LG Home app recognizes 2 categories by default, but additional categories may be added. And ones from the first category can be moved to the second and so on. The only thing special about the "APPLICATIONS" category in the stock launcher includes all apps from the /system/app/ directory.
With Zeam, GO, ADW, Panda, Better Home and LauncherPro (I don't know of other launchers...) it is possible to create categories and organise apps the same way as in the stock home app. But system apps are by default not seperate from the user applications in the app drawer.
If you want the stock launcher app, just copy it from your stock ROM - "/system/app/LGHome.apk". Then you are free to place it on any ROM of your choice (Simply install the package or copy it to the /system/app/ directory).

How do you do this? I've been using LP Plus for 2 weeks and I've pretty much gone through all the possible settings from the preference page and I couldn't find anything about it there.

Many launchers come with this function. Just try them. If you have an Android phone and you haven't yet tried all the launchers, it's weird. I bet 99% people have tried all launchers.

Hello there. I wonder if there app available to sort application by name in Optimus UI launcher? Like Appzorter for Touchwiz.
I'd rather not install another launcher, but if that's the only way, I'm open to suggestion. In the past I use Go Launcher, but feel it quite "heavy" on system resources (on my old Galaxy Ace).

You can sort it manually. Otherwise you will have to use another launcher.

That is my biggest annoyance with the LG launcher.
Bummer.
Right now I'm using Nova Launcher with Touchwiz theme I feel it quite fast. For weather I'm using Yahoo! Weather. Still trying to find free calendar widget like one built in.
Em, right touch button and reset, I think it will sort app by name.

That does sort them. It sorts alphabetically the built in apps first. Then after that alphabetically the downloaded apps.
It is a little better, but it would be nice to have all of them mixed together in alphabetical order. Can't have everything we want.

Great theme.
I have been having this theme since before root! And it's awesome!
And BTW you can use GEL (google experience launcher ). Its the launcher striped from nexus 5. Just like the kitkat. Not like the nova launcher. You can swipe left from the home screen to get Google now!
Check the attachment for a pic from mine!

Yeah but some times there are lags (mostly in the animation when going from the app drawer to homescreen ) as the launcher was taken from nexus 5.
But in the home screen its smooth!
You can just try it.

Also replacing the system UI with the attached one and using AOSP Xtheme is a good idea.
Xtheme is a Xposed Module.
Also AOSP lockscreen can be used to minimize the use of 3rd party apps, however it is not rendered properly by our phone, probably lowering DPI will help
Press thanks if I have helped :good:

Hi guys this might be a noob question but I am running kitkat on my Galaxy s4 with root access and safestrap. I am trying to get a 5 x 6 app drawer without having to use a different launcher because I like the touchwiz launcher. From the research that I have done Seclauncher3.apk is located under system\priv-app and not under system\apps but all the mods out there point to apps directory. The ones that do point to the right location touchwiz stops responding and so do all the apps. Does any one have any ideas on how to go about this?

Hi hdirani,
I would change your launcher if you would like to do that because most likely if you mess with the touchwiz launcher it can get severely damaged in a matter of seconds. I reccomend Nova Launcher if you would like to have that kind of app drawer though. Messing with TouchWiz can always be damaging to your device and is a unnecessary waste of time to go through its files.
Thank you for the quick response. Is there any way to get scalender and the accuweather widget to work with the nova launcher.

There is a normal widgets menu in the launcher, so you can add those in just like you would in TouchWiz.

Great I will try it out. Thanks,
I've seen a few people asking about this and decided to play at doing it. After some messing around I've found the following method to work.
First off, you must be rooted. I don't know away around this.
Secondly you will need to download the two files I have linked in this thread and place them in folders of the same name (DO NOT INSTALL THE ACTUAL APKS).
Third, navigate to system > app folder and copy the two folders called "Weather2017" and "WeatherWidget2017" and move them somewhere else.
After moving the 2017 folders replace them with the 2016 folders and reboot
Once you have rebooted navigate back to system > app folder, remove 2016 folders and place the 2017 folders back as they were and reboot again.
When your phone boots back up now you should have access to place the default S8/S8+ weather widget on your screen while using your launcher of choice (I've tested it using Nova but I think it should work with others).
If this helps you please feel free to leave a like!?
