So you've got iOS 4 now, and you've got Folders. Well, we want to see 'em!

Post a screen shot of your best Folder set up and tell us why it's the best.

How are you using them? How are you organizing them? Are you putting any in the dock? Are you using them to help get things done or just better keep track of your fun?

What's in your Folders?

[safesolvent]

i for one, would love to see YOUR folder setup!

tho im guessing as someone who probably tests & reinstalls often, you stick to the default?

Thanks to the Folders feature in iOS4, I took the trash out back.

I also took the trash out the back. It's all in a folder titled "Useless $h1t." Love it.

Everything else is now nicely organized, with only a few things on page 2 that don't fit in any of the folders.

[Ipheuria]

I'm so in on this tomorrow, it will be fun to see how many people have similar setups or folder names. Alli you're missing a t in your security folder

[iVenom]

i need to get mine all set up

[macharborguy]

Still working on the screens. Rather that trying to come up with some convoluted way of fitting everything onto one screen, I am keeping with the idea that each screen has it's use.

My "Games" screen, for example, has most of the apps sorted by Genre, with the games I play the most on the screen itself, not in a folder.

I have one folder in the dock as well for quick use apps that I don't want taking up too much space BUT that I do want access to at any screen.

When I got my iPad I cleaned up my phone so I only had 3 homescreens. So I've now gotten it down to 1 using folders.



I put all the stock icons except for the high use ones ie. phone, Safari, Settings in a folder called "Apple" then I put all my other apps into appropriate folders

Productivity- All my most used and organizational apps
Notes- All my text editing related apps
Language Tools- All my language lesson apps
Twitter- All my twitter related apps
Games- All my gaming apps
Mobile Me Tools- All Mobile Me associated apps
Information- All my information type apps ie. Wikipanion, yellowpages, etc.

the loose apps are the ones that didn't fit into a category or I would only have 1 icon in a folder which is pretty pointless and ugly.

Guess it's not as secure as I thought!

LOL I don't think so the "t" is very important in the strength of the security

Upgrading to an iPhone 4, but this is how I have my 3G set up in the meantime (hence the lack of cool wallpaper):

Kept the default apps I think I use the most out, The Bible app for obvious reasons, and SoundHound because I have grabbed many a song in places with it, and tend to need it on the fly. Folders are pretty straightforward; I combined Reference and Productivity apps because their uses to me somewhat overlap.

All of my games are on the second page, to lessen the temptation to waste time playing them. The Vuvuzela app is out on its own because I know its novelty will wear off as soon as the World Cup ends.

[kyith]

I realise i can't post my screen as i have less than 10 posts.

[LiamN]

Only a couple of full ones, down from 90 apps to a page, I try not to keep stuff in there i'd never use.

[fridayxiii]

Here's the setup on my 3GS. I wanted to keep the main Home screen as stock as possible (just cuz I like it like that ) but then I have another screen w/all my folders. So far I like the folders better than using Categories when JBroken.







From seven pages of apps & games down to two!

[jmoo2]

Here's my ONE Home screen (down from 9 pre iOS4)

[Ipheuria]

Ahhhhhh now that is soooooo much better

[naveed]

Gr8888 .. It recognizes the type of app like game. Productivity etc., & creates folder name automatically.

I thought that was a cool touch as well.

Here's my home page. Down from 8 to 1.5. The second page has three folders of games vie downloaded from free app-a-day and that I never play. As you can see I've put three folders on the dock; I like the fact that if I get an email, the badge shows up on the folder and not just the mail icon.

[michaelchang516]

Here are my 5 pages of 54 folder. Total of about 500 apps.

(Sorry about how the link isn't clickable, I'm new here so they won't let me put photos or links.)

What do you guys think? how could I improve?

[soundsgoodtome]

LOL ... a bit sparse though!!

look at the white dots at the bottom. it's his last page. hence, his saying that he "took the trash out back."
