Folders or just icons... What do you use and why?

[sherlock]

The apps I use most are on my home screen and most everything else is in folders. So many apps!

 

[Lend273]

Can you point me to a support site for the Icon Project? I downloaded the app and it's not very intuitive on its own. Is there a support site or manual available? Thanks.

This is how I do it...

-So firstly you create a contact for each of the shortcuts you would like

-Under the URL of the contact you pur the approporaite URL found here

About ? prefs:root=General&path=About
Accessibility ? prefs:root=General&path=ACCESSIBILITY
Airplane Mode On ? prefs:root=AIRPLANE_MODE
Auto-Lock ? prefs:root=General&path=AUTOLOCK
Brightness ? prefs:root=Brightness
Bluetooth ? prefs:root=General&path=Bluetooth
Date & Time ? prefs:root=General&path=DATE_AND_TIME
FaceTime ? prefs:root=FACETIME
General ? prefs:root=General
Keyboard ? prefs:root=General&path=Keyboard
iCloud ? prefs:root=CASTLE
iCloud Storage & Backup ? prefs:root=CASTLE&path=STORAGE_AND_BACKUP
International ? prefs:root=General&path=INTERNATIONAL
Location Services ? prefs:root=LOCATION_SERVICES
Music ? prefs:root=MUSIC
Music Equalizer ? prefs:root=MUSIC&path=EQ
Music Volume Limit ? prefs:root=MUSIC&path=VolumeLimit
Network ? prefs:root=General&path=Network
Nike + iPod ? prefs:root=NIKE_PLUS_IPOD
Notes ? prefs:root=NOTES
Notification ? prefs:root=NOTIFICATIONS_ID
Phone ? prefs:root=Phone
Photos ? prefs:root=Photos
Profile ? prefs:root=General&path=ManagedConfigurationList
Reset ? prefs:root=General&path=Reset
Safari ? prefs:root=Safari
Siri ? prefs:root=General&path=Assistant
Sounds ? prefs:root=Sounds
Software Update ? prefs:root=General&path=SOFTWARE_UPDATE_LINK
Store ? prefs:root=STORE
Twitter ? prefs:root=TWITTER
Usage ? prefs:root=General&path=USAGE
VPN ? prefs:root=General&path=Network/VPN
Wallpaper ? prefs:root=Wallpaper
Wi-Fi ? prefs:root=WIFI

-Start with "prefs"
Ex for a short cut for wifi the URL would be "prefs:root=WIFI"

-Then under the icon project you click contacts, click the contact that you would like to have the shortcut for, then it will take you to another screen, click the URL.

-Then go ahead and customize the contact img the way you want and click create.

-THen click add to home screen.

-And voila...its done

So how do I create an icon to call one of my contacts. I want to be able to call a specific contact with one tap.
Thanks
Len

 

[candy84]

same steps...click contact...and click the contact you want...

 

[Lend273]

Ok........I created the icon...but it doesn't make the call just by pressing the icon. When I press the icon it brings up tan other screen where I have to press either call or cancel. Is there a way to get it to actually make the call by just pressing the icon?
Thanks
Len

I get the same thing. That is the way it works. You have to press two icons for the call.

 

[Mr.Chow]

Use both. Folders for apps like useful for driving, traveling, tools and music. Apps I use really often are not in a folder. Games aren't in folders too, but I prolly will start to put them into one cuz I wanna stick to my 3 pages.

 

[Munky#AC]

I use a little of both.. I put like apps together in folders and the ones that don't get along with others are just out on the screen

Same here. I try to keep apps in folders but some just don't make their way to one.

 

[Ginbill]

Only icons on first page. After that it's getting out in a folder.

 

[ladyc0524]

I'm changing my screens around. Putting most used apps on home screen as icons; everything else gets put into folders

 

[DANNCAS]

ok dumb question

I did it once cant remember
HOW DO U MAKE a folder

 

[Fatboy71]

HOW DO U MAKE a folder

Touch an icon and hold it till it wiggles, then drag it on top of another and it will create a folder. You can then rename the folder to whatever you want.

 

[dnmavs41]

Folders or no folders?

No folders here.....

 

[nj1266]

I use both icons and folders. I have two icon screens and one folder screen. On the first screen I have icon project shortcuts and after these icons I have the rest by alpha order. I have too many apps in my folders. I need to remove some of them.

I do what a lot of others on here do to. Icons on first page, folders on second. Wallpaper is always changing though.

 

[gdruin74]

Icons on main screen, everything else in folders on second screen..........for now

Do you mind sharing the apple logo font you use to name one of your folder. I think that's pretty cool!!

Yea, it's called Glyphboard. Unfortunately I can't post links yet. Just google Glyphboard and it should be the first result. It will give you instructions on how to install it. There's other symbols too! It's kind of a web app/shortcut. Let me know if it doesnt work for ya.
