Android Tutorials - 05 - Custom Folders and Icons with Folder Organizer

Using Folder Organizer to clear up some of the clutter of a home screen for someone who has a lot of apps installed, but doesn't want them taking over their home screen. Definitely a great tool for minimalists and people with lots of apps. While I am using an EVO 4G this app will work with MOST Android smart phones.

so basically if I use the free Folder Organizer I cant put my apps in there folders?? What does the free Folder Organizer do??

[humancar2n]

@mudface17 The free app doesn't let you do nested folders or notifications. Check my apps in depth video for more info on the paid app.

[humancar2n]

@paulayhampton In folder organizer first create a label called "Games" then in Folder Organizer, Select Apps, then find your games and use the arrow next to them to select Labels, and then check the box next to the Games label you created.

Hi I am interested your video, you really this excellent explanation of how to handle this application, I commented that intrigues me as you do to display the screen of your android on your pc so smoothly or so clearly.
