BTW, the Foldername textfield's height in Folder Settings is way too small, there's nothing wrong, it's just that it doesn't look like a standard textfield to me, unless of course you purposely want it to be like that. I'm on Nexus One running CM 6 (this happens both on landscape and potrait mode).
[Android Apps and Games] zeroafro:
+1 to this. I wonder if its possible for the pop-up balloon to occupy 4x2 space.

It is a lovely app though for first release. Works as advertised.
[Android Apps and Games] ludow:
Thank you! Thank you!:D
[Android Apps and Games] hateman:
Thanks

You can donwload the Icons I used for the Screenshot here :http://tomeqq.deviantart.com/art/Plastic-Box-152707591

SiMi Folder will always be a free app! If you like and want to donate just by me a beer :-)
[Android Apps and Games] hateman:
Thanks to @all

for the nice comments, ideas, icons and donations :)

I put all the requests on my Todolist. I hope to have a new Version on Tuesday with nearly all the great ideas you provided me.

Happy new year to all.
[Android Apps and Games] PauCore:
Thank you. Very nice app, I really like it.

It would be cool to see in the new version

such features as:

- hide titles

- grid view (like in iPhone)
[Android Apps and Games] Jgobeil:
Great app ! Thanks for offering it.

I spent time designing folders having the right size to use with the app, installed and they disappeared a few hours after. Very frustrating... This may be because I use LauncherPro.

Also, I have changed icons and app name for some of the apps. When putting those apps inside a folder, the original icon and name appear, not my changed name. Again, those are changed in LauncherPro. No big deal.
[Android Apps and Games] umd:
Great app. Big thanks for making this!
[Android Apps and Games] XeQtuR:
Is there any way to put simi folder in the dock bar of launcher pro plus
[Android Apps and Games] PauCore:
It's not too hard, to search "Simi Folder" in the market :mad:
[Android Apps and Games] Jgobeil:
I have tried using it inside LauncherPro. I have the Plus version. After rebooting, you will lose the folder icons. At least I do... Too bad because it is a vy nice app !:mad:
[Android Apps and Games] j1po:
wow..awesome widget

will be greate if support multiline

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] phrozen87:
Thank you so much for this link! I was looking for these icons. I love the minimalist look and functionality but I think the plastic box looks a bit better than the built in icons. This is a really great app and hands down better than anything else on the market!
[Android Apps and Games] spio:
great !

thanks !!

great app , works greats :)

does it works with launcher Pro dock (open the widget from an icon at the dock) ?
[Android Apps and Games] trips555:
Ok, I really like this widget, but I need help. Is there some reason mine runs unusably slow? I have a feeling it has to do with too many apps in a drawer (like 15 in one)... would that slow it down? Or changing the icon? Or the fact that a bunch of my games are on my sdcard? All I noticed is that when I tap the icon, it takes like 5 seconds (or even more!) sometimes to pop open, and if I tap twice in a row then it says it's unresponsive. I have a Droid 1 overclocked to 1ghz, with Liquid Froyo Rom. Even others with similar issues could help me figure out whats going on, but everyone seems to be having no issue with it, so it makes my situation more confusing!
[Android Apps and Games] themacman1000:
I absolutely love this widget! The folders my HTC Intruder had worked but were kinda fugly. This makes them look like the iOS folders but on the Android platform. Finally I got the one thing that I liked about iOS. No more iPhone envy. Mwah ha ha ha... - evil laugh
[Android Apps and Games] luffyp:
It seems that the gaps between each icons in the SiMi folder depend on the length of the labels, as opposed to the constants gaps in normal Android desktop. Would be nice to be able to make the long labels fade away (as in normal desktop) so that the gaps are the same :)
[Android Apps and Games] smoothone:
This is an excellent app! Will be donating!
[Android Apps and Games] hachoo:
Great App. I have 3 folders on my 2nd page. However on a 600mhz processor, it takes a while to open up the sliding folder the first time, plus it FCs or freezes for a few seconds. Bug? or just my phone?
[Android Apps and Games] thedesolatesoul:
One word: spectacular

I have been waiting for something like this for months!
[Android Apps and Games] in2uition:
Awesome widget!! Thank you!! :D

Just one suggestion for future revisions….

Can you make a layout similar to #8 but without the background?
[Android Apps and Games] TransformerX:
I have to agree with all the other praises on this app...this is great! Keep up the good work! :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] crz6662:
Seems the link in the first post is broken. Scanned with barcode reader and the Market says not found. Also tried manual search on Market and still no luck. Where can I get this?
[Android Apps and Games] fast rock:
Hi,

I love the app, but how can I go back to the original folder icons?

I changed them but there is no option to go back. And after I changed the icons to the ones you used in the screen shot (Plastic Box), 2 of my 4 folders displayed "Widget error"

* AFTER TESTING: I couldn't use more than 2 folders with modified icons, the 3rd folder with give a "Widget error" unless it has the original icon.

Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] usn.mustanger:
AWESOME. Great job on this.

A couple of humble requests to improve usability (and forgive me if these have already been mentioned):

An "Apps Organizer" style list of all apps, allowing you to click on each app and assign it to a folder via a pop-up menu

The ability to drag and drop apps into folders already displayed on the desktop

Global folder options (i.e. the ability to set folder settings (style, font color, etc.) for all folders universally, as opposed to individually for each folder)

I have no requests concerning aesthetics, as I'm satisfied with the current state of this app in that respect. My first two requests above stem from the fact that it is currently a very tedious and time consuming process to assign my 250+ apps to my their appropriate folders. Being able to assign an app to an existing folder from a single consolidated app menu, a la Apps Organizer, would greatly streamline and simplify this process.

The 3rd request is also meant to streamline and simplify setting up numerous folders. Again, setting up folder settings individually for all folders can be tedious and time consuming.

Again, thanks for the fantastic app! This is another one of those "This should be an integral part of Android" apps, which, IMHO, is the highest compliment you can give an Android dev.
[Android Apps and Games] hateman:
Hi have you resized the icons ?

The original Size is 1024x1024 pixels. This is way to much for a widget!
[Android Apps and Games] lwm99:
I can't move folders after place them on the screen. After deleted the folders from SiMi, they still appear on the screen. Now I have to figure out how to "remove" the deleted folders. Uninstalled.

-Nexus 1, stock 2.2.
[Android Apps and Games] fast rock:
No, I used it as it is. What is the recommended size?
[Android Apps and Games] hateman:
I use 256x256 pixel and have no problems
[Android Apps and Games] fast rock:
Just modified it, it works great ..

A backup option will be great too :D

Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] ImeeezI:
Best one in its field, The Best.

Please, Need Backup option,,, and Donate bottom too :) so we can support the best app folder "and the easiest one ever"
[Android Apps and Games] Awenyar:
Cool App, I like it a lot!

If i might add a feature wish list:

- Customize the popup (size, border, background, maybe what from the app is shown [icon, title, list mode?])

- if you could tweak the app selector a bit? it's pretty slow on my SGS

Thanks for the program!
[Android Apps and Games] naira1:
The wickedest app in da market. Response is very fast.design is well above average. Just need more options, but hell its free.
[Android Apps and Games] mikeschevelle:
Cant wait for the contacts option, this is AMAZING

One suggestion, when I place the folder on the very bottom of the screen, the folder/slider opens in the middle of the screen instead of directly above the folder icon.

Can you also allow for option to make the folders more than one one row tall,

Thank
[Android Apps and Games] drdownload:
+1 for disabling the app name text for the sake of more apps initially visible

Manual sorting the app order would also be nice
[Android Apps and Games] the death of me:
Works great, but I'm having some force close issues. Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] stipe79:
How I can change colors to be like you show it here.

I can change folders size but there is no option to have them like you

show them here.There are not shown like boxes and have no any colors.

Why ?
[Android Apps and Games] crz6662:
Any chance someone could put the apk here? Can't find it on Market or the link at the beginning of this thread.
[Android Apps and Games] Deadly Cyclone:
The one issue I am running into still with the app is that I have a games folder set up with about 10 items in it, and when I click the folder it takes about 15-20 seconds to open.
[Android Apps and Games] jerrymouse12:
Any tips to make loading the pop-up appear faster? It looks awesome, works quite well, but waiting up to 10sec for pop-up to appears (7 items) makes it almost unusable (Leedroid 2.3c@HTC Desire, Zeam Launcher).
[Android Apps and Games] hateman:
Hi

I know why it is so laggy and I am trying to fix this. The Problem is the loading of the Icons. Currently I am not saving the icons in my database, i fetch them when I need them. This is too slow :-(

Will be faster in the next version
[Android Apps and Games] PauloR:
I'm also using Leedroid 2.3c but with LauncherPro and I don't have any problems with the pop-up with 10 icons.
[Android Apps and Games] PauloR:
@hateman

1st thanks for this awesome widget ;)

It's possible to put the "foldername" as a "Global Setting" instead of a "Widget Setting" ?

In this way we could hide/show the name of the folder no matter the layout we choose.

TIA
[Android Apps and Games] peterbonge:
Really a great widget. At the moment I have just one big question: What happened to the great animation of version 1.0.2? There the pop-up was opened with a great zoom animation, similar to the launcher of the clock widget. Now the pop-up just appears.
[Android Apps and Games] hateman:
I know :-( Sorry for that.

Will be back in the next version

Sorry
[Android Apps and Games] peterbonge:
Thanks.

Another question: Will your clock widget get the same launcher style? And if yes, when? Some time ago you wrote that the quickmenu will get a "Sexy Style", but nothing has changed.
[Android Apps and Games] hateman:
Yes clock will get the same style.... next week
[Android Apps and Games] peterbonge:
Mmh. Thank god you are from Germany, too. Here the "next week" starts in about 20 minutes. In other countries (US?) the week starts with Sunday and there "next week" would start in 6 days and 20 minutes...

;-)
[Android Apps and Games] hateman:
LOL

But this doesn't mean you will get it in 5 Minutes :-)
[Android Apps and Games] crz6662:
Why can't I find or download this ?

Think I would have fun with this if I could find it...
[Android Apps and Games] mikeschevelle:
I know nothing about making aps, but is there a way you can copy the guts for the stock android folder thing. that loads apps up in no time. Also would making the folder pop up two rows tall instead of one make it load any faster.

Dont mind me, just a simple man here :D
[Android Apps and Games] irish22022:
Yeah. Larger folders of five or more apps loads really slow still. Like, for me, at least five full seconds. Folder organizer loads them quick too, buy this is a scrollable folder so I'm sure its more complicated.

Bug report: when I restart the phone the widgets don't reload properly. They are still on the homescreen and I can tap them but the actual icon never loads so it looks like it didn't load at all. Replicated it twice. Confirmed bug. Droid x 2.2 no root.
[Android Apps and Games] usn.mustanger:
These troubles others are having are odd--I'm having no problem at all. Folders with 10-20 apps in them load within a few seconds max, and everything is as expected after numerous reboots. I'm not discounting y'alls claims, just sharing my overwhelmingly positive experience with this app.

FWIW, I'm running the Skyraider Athena ROM on my rooted HTC Droid Incredible.
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
I can agree to this bug report as well, It seems that the icon is not reloaded and even found once where it changed to a random pic.
[Android Apps and Games] hateman:
Ups

Sorry :-( Bug found. Will be fixed in next version
[Android Apps and Games] antonio1475:
1.0.4 "Not signed properly" in the Market. Looks like I'm the only one?

:)
[Android Apps and Games] Babydollll:
Works perfectly on my stock (not yet anyway...) not rooted Nexus One! Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] warriors0584:
This is a great app but I found one problem. If you try to change the icon, it makes a new folder with the same name but with no apps in it. Has anyone else come across this problem?
[Android Apps and Games] umd:
I did the same thing but none of these happened. You can try with different launchers. (I'm using ADWlauncher EX)
[Android Apps and Games] ronnbon:
yes I experienced that too.

After changing the folder icon I had to configure the new folder new and delete the former one.
[Android Apps and Games] hateman:
Hi

can you please tell me what Launcher and Rom you are using?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] luhu:
Thanks for this great App!

Can you add a function that it's possible to drop Apps in the folder?

And a setting that I can make the pop-up higher, that I don't have to scroll to the right/left:

(hm, drocaps makes only a screenshotof the folder pop-up...)
[Android Apps and Games] Sane1:
Great app! like it a lot! Just a couple requests and it will replace my desktop visualizer and folder organizer combo.

4x4 folder layout with the option to scroll up.

Replaceable background image.

Different size icons for widgets. If I select 3x3 I should get a 3x3 icon, not a 3x3 space with a regular sized icon. 4x4 icon would be nice too.

Drag and drop apps.

Adjustable icon sizes in the folders.

I noticed the icons the widget creates on the homescreen are slightly larger then they should be and makes them look a little distorted.
[Android Apps and Games] techiechick:
Ok... maybe it's me... but for the life of me I can't get multiple folders to show on my widget like your picture... Mine only wants to show one folder... How do i get multiple folders on my widget like in your picture??

And for that matter, how did yiu get a 4 X 1 widget? Mine only wants to do 3 X 1.. (yes, there's room on the screen...)

Thanks!!
[Android Apps and Games] ooTKoo:
Great app, love your work. Once I custom changed the app icon I could not go back to the default folder icon. Is there a way to change this without having to make a new folder?
[Android Apps and Games] hateman:
Hi

Just add 4 1x1 Widgets with different Folder in one row and you will have the same Layout ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] hateman:
Hi

Not jet. I will add more predefined Folders icon and simple way to selected them

Sorry
[Android Apps and Games] marc22:
congratulation better and better.

in next release it's possible to add an application in contact folder and bookmark.

thanks

your App is Fantastic ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] kotschi:
Great work, I really like it. But: Is it possible to integrate a folder into the dock? I'm using launcher pro plus and this would be a killer feature ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Erjeej:
Wow nice work! Have been looking for good a good folder app for ages, I don't like the stock folder/Folder organizer this is way more elegant and fits my style. Thanks alot!

Edit: Would be nice if we could customize the icons inside the folder :)
[Android Apps and Games] luhu:
Wow! Much better since last update!

The only thing missing is drag and drop ;)
[Android Apps and Games] KoubaK:
Great app... love it... is there a place to get icons??

From my T-Mobile G2 ...
[Android Apps and Games] usn.mustanger:
+1!!!

There are a couple of good sets linked in posts earlier in this thread. You can also look on deviantart.com, or perhaps just google it. It just uses standard png or ico icons.
[Android Apps and Games] Bubisch:
Experienced the same issue, Gtab with JM6.
[Android Apps and Games] shograt:
Generally loving it. Using it in conjunction with minimal text widget: http://yfrog.com/gy7wsp

A few requests for enhancement:

- text justification options. As in the screenshot, I'm just using the text labels, no icons for the folders (folders are the dark grey items). Being able to justify against the left/right sides would be nice.

- top-to-bottom list of folder items, without any icons, ie, text only.

- choice of folder background / none / solid color

- top-down icon-only listing (this is what I thought the vertical folder option was going to be, ah well.)
[Android Apps and Games] anoneemooz:
Looks GREAT so far! Everything's working fine as far as how much I've been playing with it. I've always loved the iPhone's popup folder look and I'm glad to see it very closely simulated on Android in this app.

Great job, great job! Another fine work, sir (I use SiMi clock as well!)!

I would love to see this have a bit of integration with the Folder Organizer app. That app makes use of labels and hierarchical labels and such to organize apps. I love that app but it always seemed lacking in the looks department for me. Sure the pop up can be customized..but it's just not the look I like...

Titanium Backup has a bit of integration with Folder Organizer labels. Perhaps you can incorporate the same option with your app for users who have Folder Organizer. :) It's easier to pick and organize apps in Folder Organizer since whatever labels the apps already have are indicated.

Please consider this feature in a future release. :) I will patiently wait for sure!

Again, great job so far. :) Looking forward to further development of this!
[Android Apps and Games] warriors0584:
I am using ADW on CM 6.1.2. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] rmoney:
Awesome work. Great look and smooth performance. My suggestions...

* 4 icons to a row, names of apps get cut off if there are 5 in a row. Make it user defined. 4 or 5 or whatever.

* default it to vertical scrolling (I feel this to be more intuitive, like the app drawer)

* 3 or more rows visible for the widget. Having only two makes the space to scroll too small for my finger.

* manual sorting of the apps (aka not just ABC). This is a deal breaker for me and why I haven't left FolderOrganizer just yet.

* allow changing the names of apps (I don't need/want all the Free/Lite/Etc some devs put at the end of their app names)

* icon changing could be useful, but name changing is more important to me

* in the app when looking at the list of created folders, long pressing could bring up a useful menu such as edit, delete, rename, etc
[Android Apps and Games] totalomnia:
Awesome widget, but the latest update isn't working on my Samsung Galaxy S 2.2.1. Anyone else noticed this? Looks identical to previous versions, with no vertical scrolling option. Also my screen doesn't look like the screenshot (4th screenshot - device2.jpg).

Any idea why?
[Android Apps and Games] irish22022:
haven't gotten vertical scrolling to work yet. Seems to make the icon transparent or just not there at all.

I just remade my icons for the folders to fit properly, and then the format got changed and they don't fit anymore... Ugh. I'll change them back.

droidx 2.2 unrooted
[Android Apps and Games] usn.mustanger:
Man, you are really pumping out the updates lately! I love it!

Vertical scrolling is a GODSEND! THANK YOU! Works like a champ for me.

My only remaining request is for an easier way to assign apps to a folder--like the Apps Organzier method I mentioned in an earlier post.

Still, great work! And for free?

THANKS!
[Android Apps and Games] irish22022:
My mistake. I was confused as to how to apply it.

The "text 1 2 3" widget layout is genius. I usually title folder with plain text as per my theme, and this save the step of making my title in gimp. Awesome time saver. Quick note, however, when the text line is selected as layout, and you go to edit color of text, I've found that your "alpha" channel doesn't actually make things transparent, but rather grey. Sliding down the bar should bring out the background more, not turn the whole thing darker.

Anyway, I'm pretty happy with it. Keep on working, but you for sure have something good here.

Customized pop ups FTW? (I know, everyone keeps requesting stuff, must get annoying).
[Android Apps and Games] mila1970:
Laucher Pro Dockbar?

hello, very nice work. Is it possible to put folder shortcuts into the LP dockbar? Or create a LP shortcut for the folders?

tx
[Android Apps and Games] Casao:
You do wonderful work, both with this and SiMi Clock. Thanks a lot!
[Android Apps and Games] hateman:
Progress

Hi

At the moment I am working on a better Contact and App "Engine" to make the widget faster and more stable. Also I am working on more Settings for the Launcher ( Grid size, Custom Backgrounds ..... )

I hope to have a new version ready on Tuesday or Friday.

Thanks for the positiv feedback. I put all the Requests and Bugs on my todolist.

Have fun
[Android Apps and Games] greymalken:
I'm interested in trying this app but I'm curious about why it needs to look at my personal information: contacts, browser's history, and bookmarks?

I'm not very comfortable with that. . .
[Android Apps and Games] Bubisch:
How can a contacts and bookmarks widget work without that?
[Android Apps and Games] greymalken:
Good point.

I was thinking this was just a "folders" app. My mistake.
[Android Apps and Games] usn.mustanger:
NM. You got it. Sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] creage:
SE x10i, taping on added contact having multiple numbers causes FC.

Contact names are not truncated, making distance between contacts huuuuge.
[Android Apps and Games] peterbonge:
The widget really gets better with every version!

But there is one thing I don't like: It is not possible to switch directly from one folder to another. If a folder is open I have to close it before I can open another folder.

I think this is because each folder is a single widget. Maybe it could be possible if a widget could contain more than one folder? It's just an idea.

Another wish: It would be nice if an folder entry would show a click-effect if I tap on it. Just like the apps on the home screen.
[Android Apps and Games] lynseyw:
Any chance on adding the option of directly calling the contacts from the widget instead of just opening the contact and then selecting the number etc.

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks, Love the app. Is there going to be a paid version anytime soon? If not, I will donate, otherwise I will buy the app when it comes out.
[Android Apps and Games] irish22022:
+1 for developing the contacts folder idea a bit. Something more direct like just clicking on the contact name and getting a small pop up with a picture of a phone, envelope, facebook and gmail (or whatever info you have on the contact), and from there making a direct dial/sms/whatever shortcut. leave the contacts app out of it.
[Android Apps and Games] irish22022:
you can't make LP shortcuts for widgets, I don't believe. The dev for simifolders has said however, that making a shortcut will be on his to do list, in which case you can add a swipe gesture from the dock, or just a normal dock shortcut to whatever folder you choose.

bug report: loading larger folders still an issue. the folder loads immediately, but the contents take a little longer, often load one or two at a time. however, once it's opened, I can open and close the folder with ease almost as if there's a temporary cache. After a while, it bugs again.
[Android Apps and Games] Jamin_1:
hell yes this is my app pf the day :D
