Dear all,
I got my Xperia X last week and am loving it. Just would like to ask if you can give me any tips as to:
1) How to hide apps in apps drawer?
2) Why can't I use the copy & paste function in Whatsapp?
Thank you!
1. Use different launcher.. I am using Nova at the moment.
2. Copy/paste in WhatsApp is working for me.

Hello.
My problem is that I used ADW Launcher and now Im starting with Go Launcher
In ADW I could create app groups. That is useful for example for set one group with all apps and other group with the most frequent apps, so I avoided thereby apps that I dont use so much and I hide some apps from other people hehe
But now Go launcher has not got that feature. I only can hide apps but then I cant run them quickly, I have to unhide, run, hide again, everytime
Does exist any app that shows you all app you have installed and you can go and run whichever you want?
Thaaaaanks
Try Folder Organizer (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.abcOrganizer.lite), it's an excellent label-based app manager.
Yeaaah, just tried Apps organicer
(https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.code.appsorganizer&feature=more_from_developer), from the same dev, and works perfectly, that what I was looking for. Its even simplier than Folder organicer. Just select an app and it run it
So, problem fixed
Thanks so much mate
OK, i have rooted my Nook Tablet 8GB; done the journey of unknown sources (it was so frustrating); installed amazon market and Google play!
I have a few questions that i could not get answers to. Here are all of them in one post. Please note that i read all the threads for new users and when i was not able to find a satisfactory answer, i made this thread.
Here are the questions:
1. My first issue is getting 3rd party apps on the home screen. I know you can install the App Manager and ask it to add to app shelve. They do not open from App shelve and then i have to go through another step of adding them to home screen. This takes a lot of time. How to add them directly to home screen of stock NT. If that is NOT possible, how to add them to shelve and run from there ? (When i try to run them from the shelve, i get the option to manage them. Nothing about running them)
2. Where do the files/apk that i download from the default browser go to ? Along with that where does Aurora and Dolphin browser save downloaded files ? What is the best browser to use (Read, i definitely need tabs !!)?
3. How to resolve widgets not loading in Go Launcher and Zeam Launcher ? Which Launcher do people prefer the most? I love Zeam because it allows a gazillion apps on one app screen. How to add Go Widgets to Go Launcher (Every time i try to download them, Google play says that they are not compatible)?
4. How to add widgets to the stock NT home screen ? Clock and weather specifically ? How to add/remove pages to home screen of stock NT ?
5. How to add epub/mobi to stock nook app and kindle ?
6. How to move all the apps to memory card ? they are eating a lot of space on my internal !
I know that's a lot of questions but i do not prefer to make a lot of threads for each question.
Thanks a ton.
Can't help with 1. It's been too long since I was on stock and that was 4.1.0 and before B&N blocked sideloading.
I use Dolphin Browser Mini. It has tabs and is understandable. Downloaded file go on sdcard in download folder under dolphin_browser_mini. I suspect stock stores in the download folder in the root of sdcard.
I use Go Launcher and don't have issues with widgets. I'm on the sdcard version of CM7. Go Launcher works well for me, although I have heard of some having trouble with it. When you long press where you want the widget don't forget to select the widget menu.
Can't help with the stock screen.
There are a number of ebook readers - Nook, Kindle, Aldiko to name a few. Download from Play. There are free ebooks, a google search. It takes some patience to get the covers, but if you use the list mode instead of bookshelf you can see the title.
To move the apps, go to your app manager and long press the app. You will get a screen that will allow it to be moved to sd and a lot more options.

I recently installed it and there as few problems I can't seem to solve:
1. There is no option to resize widgets. It is supposed to support it, but there is just no way. Whether in Free mode or not. How to do it?
2. In the app drawer, many apps are displayed twice, some apps don't appear at all, and there are some apps that I don't even have installed...

1 . you have to be in edit mode. You can resize/rotate/supperpose/order/... (note : you can fine resize when you are in free mode)
2 . The last release correct that
1. I was in edit mode and found no way to resize a widget.
2. I am already using a latest release (from 3 days ago), so unless there was another update, I'm using it.
How to limit the number of screens?
By default Lightning Launcher has 5 screens, I need only two. How do I remove extra screens?
Expired.
No Dual (2nd app) shortcut.
Cannot keep shortcut for the dual apps like Whatsapp, Truecaller. The dual (second) app appears separately in the default launcher (check screenshot 1) but not in lightning launcher (check screenshot 2). I love lightning launcher because of customizations but it's only missing this main feature. Please add dual app.
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
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?

Hi everyone,
I install lenok2dory last day and I just love AW 2 now ! But the app drawer is difficult to open ( doing sh*t with my wrist ) and with Watch Maker I think that is possible to run a script who open the app drawer. But I don't know Lua script and it's why I asking you for know if it's possible to do that or no.
The only solution I found so far is:
- Install launcher for android wear (or wear mini launcher, probably also works with any other launcher)
- disable the gesture to open the launcher (not mandatory, but I found that most gestures of launchers are in the way of other gestures)
- use "tap action" to open the launcher (open application on wear: "launcher").
