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

[MattMJB0188]

Thought I'd share mine. I'm a new iPhone 4s user if that makes any difference. I'm the type who has to have all icons on one page and all folders on one page. As someone else said, it makes the screen look messy and unorganized.

Okay, someone please tell me how to create folders? I like the looks of some of your screens!

Press and hold one icon till they all start shaking. Then you simply drag one icon on top of the other and it makes a folder. You can then name the folder as well.

THANK YOU so much!

What I did was out of the 16 icons... the top eight are folders [stuff I dont have time to go to another screen to get to]

and the bottom eight are my most used apps. Goes together the same way since each of my dock icons are just icons & not folders.

I cannot have an iProduct without it looking like an iProduct. I rather have my phone look like how it looks like on an advertisement. Otherwise it just might feel weird, I have two pages of applications, on the first it's just Icons, like you see when you first get your iPhone/iPod. My second page is in alphabetical order, minus the first icon which is Contacts. Just one folder of apps that I don't really use that much. It just feels right. That's just me... here is set up.

I do organize my stuff into folders and I love a nice clean and organized screen.

I just released the first in a series of Apps that deals with this exactly. I love all of the wallpapers out there, but they are so junky so I decided to make my own that are nice and clean and make looking at my phone a joy.

The home screens have either a phrase or design on the 4th row so that it can either be hidden or displayed depending on the users preferences.

Here it is in the App Store. It is called iWall Words - Holidays and Seasons

Im OCD about my iPhone organization...

Homescreen is only for Apple apps..
2nd Screen is for my most used Productivity, Social and Misc apps..
3rd Screen is for my folders which are categorized and in alphabetical order..

I use a combination of both Icons and Folders for functionality and aesthetics.

 

[Eileen89]

I keep my 4 frequently used icons on page one, followed by apps in folders on page 2. Page 3 is reserved for those junk apps that Apple includes that we can't remove.

I use a combo of both folders and just "loose" icons. On my homepage I like to keep it clean as possible and my second page is where all my icon and folders are on my 2nd page, the top 4 icons are what I use the most, and then the next 2 rows are put into alphabetical sequence. Also, sometimes I will take my fahrenheit weather app and put it on my 2nd page depending on my wp I use so it doesn't interrupt the look of it.

I'm a combination of E_Brown and CalifJewls.

First page is all Apple apps. Page 2 and 3 are frequently used apps. Page 4 is all folders

I don't like how when you leave an app that's in a folder, you go back to the open folder. I know there's a jailbreak app for this but I've been there and done that. Team Pure for me.

So after much switching around I think i like this set up. My first page are apps that I use the most. 2 nd page is for all my shortcuts all listed alphabetically And the 3rd is apps that I don't really use in folders that are all alphabetical.

I don't like folders. I know where all my icons are.

 

[E_Brown]

Wow it's so weird looking at someone else's home screen and seeing where you think the icons should be, and they're in a complete difference place.

I agree. But I went back to just doing what was functional for me which was using folders and apps. Most of the stock apple apps I don't even use. Like I don't use YouTube daily...but my social folder is
