OK, ICS built in Folders is awesome !

[dspcap]

I've been using Folder Organizer...etc, to do my folders. Today, I learned how to create folders using ICS and it's really cool !!!!

I really like how you can put the folders in the lower icon tray.

Just curious since I don't have my phone yet... Is there a limit to how many items you can put in a folder, on ICS?

 

[SassyPenguin]

Didn't know you can put folders in the tray, awesome!

Using folders in your tray is clutch and saves time.

Wanna really see cool use of folders? Make folders within a folder....

Create folders using Folder Organizer (I used Folder Editor). Then once you have your folders created using that app, drag and drop those onto each other, ICS will then folder them as well. So you end up with folders within a folder that way. I have once ICS folder that has 5 folders I created in Folder Editor, great way to organize a lot of apps into very little screen landscape

Four, unless I'm missing something.

 

[daso]

Definitely more than four I have 9 games in my games folder

16 is the limit

This. The folder acts as a sub-screen. So however many icons you can fit on the screen, that's how many will fit in a folder.

Folders have made 2 of my main screens obsolete.

Hey can you do folder in a folder without an app? I tried dragging a folder into another and it doesn't want to go in.

I'm really loving the folders too. I wish you could put more than 16 icons in one folder though and scroll through them by swiping up/down or left/right. I created a games folder but have about 20 games so I had to create two folders. I previously used 'Folder Organizer' on my Evo 4G which lets you have scrollable folders. I wish ICS would add scrolling folders.

folders have really changed the way I do my home screens.

You and me both. I'm only using 3 home screens at the moment - I frequently used 7 on my Droid X. Very nice, and it's easier to get to the things I want to access.

I take it there is no way to create folder in the app draw though? any thoughts?
