How do I use folders?

[macjazzy]

I figured my home screens were getting crowded and I noticed when I go to add something on the popup the options are Widgets, programs, shortcut and folders.

I figured I could select folders and put all my games in it, or whatever stuff is very similar like that. So I can select that folder from my home screen and go directly to all my games, or whater.

However, I can not figure how to add anything into the folders, and I can't figure out if I can, nor how to, rename them, ie. games, instead of just folder.

Add the folder where you want then add whatever you want to put in the folder, outside of it. Long press what you want in the folder then just drag and drop like you would on a pc.

to rename the folder open the folder then long press on the top where it says folder, it will open a box to enter the name.

As fas as putting thing in the folder just drag them right on top of the folder and let go. If your bringing it out from the app drawer long press then put it over the folder.

That works great, thanks to you both. I appreciate the quick help

Note that you can't put widgets in a folder. This makes sense, but I did kind of want to make a "Settings" folder and drop some of the settings widgets from HTC in there, to give me the WiFi/GPS toggles, etc. Not a major problem though.

So THAT'S why they wouldn't go to the On/Off folder I made (Wi-Fi, Blue Tooth, Mobile, GPS and Airplane)!

Ran into a great app last night that is better than folders.

Apps Organizer

Basically, it allows you to organize your apps by type. You can then place a widget on your page for each of the types or as a group including them all.

More info: Apps Organizer (Apps Organizer)

BTW.. I'm not affiliated with it and it is a Free App.

Interest idea that apps organizer. So far with 7 screens and multiple scenes I don't forsee needing it but who knows.

Is there a way to create a folder inside of another folder?
