Combining apps in folder

[terry18]

I had posted a question here about combining apps in a folder but thought I had found the answer to my question and deleted the post. But actually I didn't find the answer. I had went back to my Motorola Droid x without thinking and tried combining apps that I thought wouldn't combine and they did. The HBO GO combined with TWC app. Thought well, I must have made a mistake earlier when those 2 apps didn't combine. Well I just figured out what happened. The droid x is running a much earlier version of Android which allows combining these apps and others like it. After deleting my earlier question I went to my Samsung Tab 3 7.0 and it wasn't possible to do what was possible on the droid x. Now back to the earlier question. Is there a way of forcing these type apps to combine in a folder as they did in the earlier Android 2.0 version. Not going to delete this question again. LOL

Click that little red triangle in the bottom left corner of the message window. That sends a message to the powers that be, Just say something like ‘please delete’ in the message.

Hi terry18, and welcome aboard.

Since each device may have its own idiosyncrasies and ways of doing things, let's move this to the Tab 3 7.0 board and see if other owners of the same device can help.

If you're talking about grouping similar apps into folders....like a folder named Games, where you put all your game apps, etc....then I'd suggest Folder Organizer from the Play Store. You can create folders with custom names that reside on the "desktop". Then just tap the folder and choose the app you want.

And you can have folders within folders. Is that what you are after?

PS...when you download a new app Folder Organizer alerts you that it hasn't been assigned to a folder yet and will take you to the assignment screen. VERY easy to manage apps with this little program.

Push and hold anywhere on the homescreen then select folder from the list that pops up, name your folder and then just start dragging all the apps you want into the folder.

Ahh-haa. Thanks, Brosko. Cool feature I didn't know about...and one less app to deal with!

So much to learn!! Ha, ha.

yeah that's a nice feature. I have mine all nice and neatly organized with different category folders.
