Motorola Droid 3 :: How To Organize Homescreen
Aug 2, 2011
for a lighter topic i thought i would share how i setup my homescreen. i dont like to scroll around screens looking for stuff or open the app drawer looking for it either.ne of my favorite apps is Folder Organizer and i make good use of it on all my Android devices. i also realize that the D3 has a similar built in function for folders but it is not nearly as feature rich as what i use so i prefer my 3rd party app for this.Here are a few screen shots:i have blanked out some pics and personal info)hen i choose any of the icons not on my dock i get all the apps i setup to be associated with that folder. here is my tools folder open. if you have more apps than can fit on the screen its ok the folder will scroll to show you all the apps:
here is a shoot of my screen where i labeled my icons so you can see where i am putting my stuff but of course this is just to show you and my screen does not have these labels. i dont like labels on anything since i know what they are:i use folder organizer to make new custom direct links for the camera and camcorder since i like those icons better and i dont want them labeled. you can use icons from any icon set that you have which is nice or folder organizer comes with a lot itself.this is not an ad for folder organizer it is just what i use and i thought i would share my setup.

I am trying to figure out if it is me or do other people have their homescreen crash when returnig back to it from about anything? By crashing I mean that you return from the camera, online, text message, or whatever and your homescreen has to rebuild itself. Mine is doing it more than its not and was wondering if its an app i have installed or do others crash too?

I just noticed this happen while I was trying to swipe the homescreen lock while the phone was in the middle of rotating from portrait to landscape, but my background reset itself to the default background while I was trying to do this. This only seems to be an issue for the "non blur" launcher. I have never encountered this using a third party launcher.

New issue I've never seen before, on my girlfriends d3 the homescreen refuses to rotate. I toggled the auto rotate setting, rebooted the phone, no change. Just for giggles I installed go launcher, and now the homescreen rotates properly.

After the last update, when ever an app on my sd card gets an update, all of the apps I put on the sd card disappear from the home screen. So, every time I update one, I have to reinstall all of the shortcuts on my home screen. Have already done a couple of factory resets and tried other sd cards.

I just go my Droid Razr Maxx two days ago, and after installing a few apps, I tried performing a search in the All Apps screen. An error message popped up saying The application Home-screen (process com.Motorola.home) has stopped unexpectedly. try again. and then the Homescreen reboots and everything works except in the All Apps.

When I go to all apps and press the search icon I get: "Sorry! The application Homescreen (process com.motorola.home) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Only option is to press the Force close and from then on the phone does NOT work right. I end up having to power it off and back on.

I put the Motorola toggle widgets on my home screen (e.g. toggle data, wifi, bluetooth, GPS). I rebooted and they disappeared. I tried to re-add them. I can't. I can add toggle widgets from the Android Market. I can't re-add the Motorola widgets, but also, the space where they should be is not available to add another widget either. i.e. I've now got a dead/unusable space on my home screen.

I do love it but i wish it had more customization options! why does motorola decide something is not suitable for their customers? we are not all alike instead of throwing out features they should just have an option to turn on and off.I really, really, REALLY wish my homescreen would rotate in BLUR without having to use a diffrent launcher!i mean its so dumb, i roate my phone and i have to make a selection with the homescreen stuck on portrait then when the app or even the app drawer opens it rotates.

Is there a way on the Xoom with ICS to create folder on the homescreens (like on my Atrix or an iPad) to organize icons or do we still need to use 3rd party apps for that kind or function?

After upgrading to v40, I've compared the new homescreen to the old homescreen and to the old homescreen with v21-31, these are my findings.
- The old homescreen on v40 does not have the email notification that Nokia introduced a short while ago and which was obviously VERY well recieved globally.
- The new homescreen on v40 has kinetic scrolling contacts which is, um, cute. It has the ability to control the music player (What I found to be very buggy, crashing it by simply pressing 'forward' when it's playing a folder with 1 song).
- The new homescreen on v40 does not have calendar and tasks, probably for the space the new music player-thing takes. This was my FAVORITE thing on the homescreen and I am sure I'm not alone.
I truly hope Nokia addresses these issues by either returning the email notifications to the old homescreen or somehow allowing to see the calendar and tasks on the new homescreen. Or both.

I was using AK notepad and it wouldn't let me pin a note to the furtherest left homescreen.That screen is totally blank.It said homescreen didn't have room and out the note on the next page over.I can then grab the note and drag it to the blank homescreen.I deleted the app and installed classic notes but it does the same behavior.Why would it do this on that screen?

I am looking for an alternative to the standard Motoblur homescreen/launcher. I have tried ADW Launcher and Launcher Pro, and am looking for some other options. I am mainly looking to add more then seven homescreens, either keep the standard motoblur look or switch to something that looks like stock Froyo/Gingerbread, have a 3D app drawrer, and keep my current homescreens (widgets, shortcuts, etc) in place, as both ADW and Launcher Pro have forced me to start from scratch. I would like something free (or at least with a free trial or free version) and I am not a root user.

I've used the Motorola Media Sync app twice to transfer music to my phone. Both times, about half of the icons and shortcuts get removed from my home screens. The apps are still there, I just need to put them back on to the phone.

Is there any way for me to organize my email into folders? Right now my mail is simply listed newest first and is very unorganized making it difficult to use. If I could set up folders that I could put mail in, that would be perfect.

In Gallery, there is an option "tag someone", where you can tag people that appear in your pictures. But, nothing is changed when I tag anyone.
I thought that it would create an album where you could see all pictures from the same person. Is that right?! I can do it in "Google Photos", its organize automatically all pictures that the person appears.
I don't know if it is possible. But would be great if for example, in the " Contacts" we could select a person and see also the photos that the person is tagged in your gallery, not only the number, email, etc.

Just got my Nexus 5 today after being an iPhone user since 2007. I have searched the forums but could not find a definitive answer to this question: How do you organize emails into conversations in Exchange using the stock email app. I can't seem to find the setting anywhere.
