Folders or just icons... What do you use and why?
- I noticed a lot of you have the newsstand icon out while not having any subscriptions and there is also a lot of talk about aesthetics. Just wanted to point out that there is a simple trick to hide your newsstand app in a folder without jailbreaking. I've done it so I know first hand it works. Here's how...
* Take two apps and go to create a folder
* The second the apps are in the folder and its doing the folder creation animation, drag Newsstand into the folder
* As long as youre quick enough Newsstand will go into the folder!
I tried to post the source link but the site wouldn't let me because I don't have enough posts yet but you can google it and easily find it. Trust me it works. Give it a try.
What I do, Is just put it on the page after the last page that I use. Then I don't have to see it, and I don't have to worry about something possibly happing to my phone just so I don't have to see an icon.11-23-2011 03:40 PMLike 0 - I follow the same route alot of people have from what ive seen!
Homescreen is 4 apps on the top.. Most used apps.. I like being able to see my screenRAPTORSSSS!
Second screen i still want that "iphone" feel so its mostlyy the original homescreen that you get.. Just slid over.. Minus google maps and i added contacts and the utilities folder
And third is my folders.. News and sports at the top.. And the rest follow11-24-2011 08:34 AMLike 0 - I don't have a fancy shmancy 4s
but I do have a 4. I have a combination of OCD and not using a bajillion apps(App hoarder). So I keep only one homescreen, I organize all my apps into folders by personal categories. I'm Jailbroken so I have the single apps that I use frequently on my dock using infinidock(hence the two different backgrounds from homescreen captures at two different times). I also hide newstand at the end of the infindock becasue I don't see it alot and usually when I scroll over I'm opening an app so I only see it for a microsecond.

-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 done11-24-2011 01:05 PMLike 0 - 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

- 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.

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.MECM likes this.11-27-2011 02:51 AMLike 1
