Folder Organizer

Phenomenological said:

Open Folderorganizer and create some Labels. They are effectively folders. You can change the icons for these labels to your hearts content. Then you can tag applications with labels in Folderorganiser, which adds them to the 'Folder'. Finally, all you need to do is long press on the home screen, tap shortcuts, choose Folderorganizer Label, and add it. Viola, a folder with a custom icon.

Whilst this works well I think it is better to add them as widgets rather than shortcuts. That way if you decide to change the icon again within FolderOrganizer it updates automatically without having to remove and re-add the shortcut. It also allows you to remove the text under the icon if you want to.

The latest version of FolderOrganizer also includes some larger widget options which can include a number of items.

Likewise, I have something I've been trying to do with FolderOrganizer for a while, but can't quite figure out how.

I know that FolderOrganizer can create shortcuts to direct dial and direct SMS contacts, but can it put these shortcuts into a folder? Ideally, I'd like to have two widgets on a home screen, the top one containing shortcuts to direct dial people, and the bottom one containing shortcuts to directly SMS those same people. Is this possible?

I just bought Folder Organizer I have Apps Organizer so I was wondering if I really need it now that I have Folder Organizer? I thought Apps Organizer is the free version of Folder Organizer but the free version is Folder Organizer Lite. The only thing that I find Apps Organizer useful is to create labels and it seems that Folder Organizer does that. Is there any features in Apps Organizer not in Folder Organizer?

Thanks in advance,

hi could somebody help me - I've just started using folder organizer tonight...

I wanted to download some new icons and set up an alternative scene on sense, so I can switch between 2 as and when I fancy a change.

If for example I change the icon for facebook in folder organizer, will this change the icon on both scenes? As I would want to use different icons for each scene.

Also, I tried creating a new label which I called 'facebook' and assigned the facebook application to this label. When I added this as a shortcut on the home screen it opened up a folder view first with facebook there to be chosen. Is there a way of getting it to open the application straight away without the sub view if I am only assigning one app to that label?

Sorry to ramble, hope it makes sense (excuse the pun)

I think this is what you want to do: In Folderorganizer, create a label called "Text" or something, then navigate to Contacts. Find the contact you want and click the arrow at the left side of their name. A list will appear with each of their numbers, and a separate option to call, text or email that contact's number. Click the arrow at the right side of the contact's text option and assign it to the "Text" label.

When you add the shortcut to "Text" on your Homescreen, you should have one-click access to their text screen.

It's the same for a call list.

@ lost desire,
I tried creating this shortcut, but the mobile network settings is indeed not showing although bluetooth settings and wifi settings are there.

I'm not sure if there's a better way to do this... but if you're using LauncherPro, here's a workaround that I found...

In the shortcuts tab of FolderOrganizer, create a new shortcut to Activities -> Settings -> Wireless and Network Settings, then proceed with customizing the shortcut's name, icon, etc.

But these directions do not work because when I follow them, (I have already created labels for all of my apps) I long press on the home screen, which does not bring me to shortcuts but instead brings me to 6 apps on my phone including Folder Organizer, so I tap that, and then shortcuts, and it does not give me an option to create a shortcut on my desktop, it only gives me an option to create a shortcut for individual apps, which do not even show up on my desktop.

Please help, how do I create an icon/folder that holds all similar apps (replacing the originals with the folders) on my desktop so that I don't have to scroll through 50 unorganized apps?

Thank you!
