The procedure works all popular launcher, including the default of the latest versions of the operating system, but some friends asked me a different thing; I have asked if you can create folders in the app drawer Android, that is the menu where you will find the icons of all the applications installed on the smartphone (or tablet). Well, also in this case the answer is yes!
Thanks to some custom launcher, you can easily download from the Google Play Store and does not require root permissions to work, you can group applications drawer and organize them into folders is easy to find but to turn to. Want to know what the launcher that offer this feature? No problem, I'll point out just a couple of the most interesting and I'll explain how to use them. Good fun!
Nova Launcher is considered by many, including myself, the best launcher for Android is light, full of advanced features and can be customized down to the smallest details. He could never fail him a function like that of the drawer to group apps in folders? Of course not, but unfortunately this is one of the "feature" reserved for users of version Prime application, which costs 4.50 euro.
If you agree to make this small investment, know that before you buy the package "Nova Prime" from the Play Store, you must download the launcher in the basic version, which is free. The application will automatically detect your "license" and unlock all features for users Prime (including, precisely, the creation of folders in the drawer).
To download both the app made, went to the Android settings menu (the gear icon located in the drawer), "tap" icon Home Nova Launcher and set as default launcher for your smartphone / tablet putting the check mark next to his name.
Now comes the fun part! To create a folder in the app drawer, back on the home screen of Android (which should now be managed by Nova), hold your finger on an "empty" screen and select the Settings icon that appears at the bottom right .
On the next screen, select the menu item application, scroll to the bottom of the menu that pops up and you "tap" on the application menu item Groups.
At this point, select the Folders tab located at the top right, presses the button + (also placed in the top right) to start creating a new folder, type the title that you want to assign it in 'appropriate text field and presses the Add button to complete the operation.
Next, press it on the pencil icon located next to the name of the folder you just created, press the Select button and choose which apps to include in the app folder. Repeat this process for all folders you want to create and that's it.
Mission accomplished! Now back on the home screen, access the app drawer and you will find your folders between the applications available in the menu. To add new apps in a folder or rename it, select its icon and presses on the corresponding buttons in the box that opens.
If you want the folders inside the drawer are shown in alphabetical order and not before the other app, back in the settings of Nova Launcher, select the menu item application and move the lever to OFF for the option before the folders.
To delete a folder you created earlier, go to Settings> Application Menu> Groups the applications menu of Nova Launcher, select the Folders tab, hold your finger down on the name of the folder to delete and presses the Delete button present in the box opens.
Nova Launcher
Looking for a launcher that can automatically organize applications in folders? Then I strongly recommend you try Smart Launcher. It is a free launcher (in its basic version, there is also a Pro which costs 2.99 € and includes some additional features), extremely elegant and read that does just what you need: examines the list of applications installed on your phone and automatically organizes them according to their categories of membership (eg. Communication, Internet, Games and so on).
To take advantage of the potential of Smart Launcher, download the application from Google Play Store, Run it and presses the button Start new configuration. Then you accept that the launcher will pass on to his server list of installed applications on your smartphone (to categorize them in an instant thanks to a remote database) and choose your default applications for listening to music, surfing online etc. (You will see only those categories for which you have installed the most similar applications, you can play the same role).
Finally, presses the Start button Smart Launcher 3 and you'll find yourself in front of your new home screen: a menu with 6 circular icons (relating to your favorite apps to listen to music, surf the Web, send messages, take pictures, make calls and view images ), the current time and a search bar. To access the drawer with all apps automatically divided into categories, you "tap" on the icon with the four white squares located on the bottom left and browse the menu that opens using the left sidebar.
To set Smart Launcher as default launcher Android, went in Settings> Home page of your smartphone / tablet and put the check mark next to his name.
TouchWiz
If you use a smartphone Samsung and then your default launcher is not "pure" of Android, but that TouchWiz developed by the Korean giant, you can create folders Android without using third-party applications.
All you need to do is open the app drawer, press the Edit button (located at the top right) to activate the "Edit mode" and aggregate applications just as you would on the home screen, that is, keeping your finger on an icon and sliding it onto another icon. After you finish editing, presses the Finish button and you're done.
The Play Store are also available some launcher that follow the appearance and functionality of Samsung's TouchWiz. One of these is called S Launcher and you can download it for free from the Play Store (although the creation of folders is given to Prime version of the app, which costs 3.62 Euros).
