creating folders, for games ect...?

[bear_lx]

noob question, how do i go about creating a folder for a group of apps. for example... if i want to make a folder for all my downloaded apps that are games? i know how to create a new folder in astro, but cant quite figure out how to put all my games in there...

i want an a single icon to click on that will bring up a window with all my games .... just to clean up a bit

All you need to do is long press on the screen. Select Folders. Then New Folder. Then open the folder. After that click on or long press the name at the top then name it what you want. After that you can just drag the game icon into it.

I use the app folderorganizer for homescreen widget what are you trying to do in astro?

trying to create a folder in astro, i guess its easier to long press on homescreen, lol.

ok so how do i change the icon of the folder to like a nintendo game controller or something like that?

I have ADW Launcher EX. I just theme it but that can be tricky if you dont know what your doing.

As far as I know there isnt an easy way. Although I could be wrong, perhaps another awesome contributer can help you on that aspect.

In ADW Launcher you can create a drawer where your gaming apps just show.

i dont really want it in my drawer... i have seen on some peoples themes they have an icon of a game controller with all their games in it... i think i can do it with desktop visualizer...

I have wanted a way to make folders in the app drawer but it isn't possible yet. Gingerbread?
There was an app that allowed you to group apps in an icon on your home screen or any other screen.
Unfortunately you can't find it in the market by searching for group.
If you go back and look at all the editors app picks before X-mass you may find it.

That is folder organizer to have the game icon folder. My example:

and when clicked:

+1 for Folder Organizer. You can select from a lot of different icons, here is an old screenshot of my Droid's screen.

The Apps, Tools, Shop, Games, and Multimedia icons are all Folder Organizer folders.

I've found that the SiMi Folder Widget is a damn good and nicer looking folder organizer, just to throw you some options.
