Well, I suggest starting by searching this thread. This question has been asked and answered several times.

Then you can try searching the rest of the xda forums, as I know there are some pretty nice icon sets floating around.

Then, try deviantart.com--they have LOADS of icon sets.

Finally, I give you this: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=folder+icons

Enjoy!

Database conversion feature testing complete--it works! Awesome work by hateman.

If y'all haven't yet, I recommend showing a little appreciation to hateman by throwing a few bucks into his beer fund. You won't find many other devs that address user issues with the dedicated attention and care that he does.

Thanks again, hateman!
[Android Apps and Games] este548:
Exactly - I was just going to ask about that, as in the course of using this excellent app I realized I would like to put into SIMI not only docs, but also individual folders, that contain documents for various agenda. Would be great to have that and thanks for noting it.
[Android Apps and Games] just_nos:
Thnx the contacts now work on my x10

now only waiting for custom icon size :)

Keep up the good work
[Android Apps and Games] gdinf:
Hi Hateman! Love your app!

I found this little bug. Some times when I click to launch an app instead of the icon get selected it makes a transparent box erasing the app icon and the background of simifolders...
[Android Apps and Games] Josh.C:
How can I get my standard icons ? Perfect otherwise !
[Android Apps and Games] GZFan:
I've the same 'problem'. Not really a problem, just a little glitch. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] creage:
Well, now, it opens contact page without errors, but it still not usable, as I can't do a call from the page your app opens)

Actually, it opens contact summary page. I just wonder if it possible implement a kind of direct call intent, something like this

Action: android.intent.action.CALL
Data: tel:/NUMBER

Hi

this is on my todolist. ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] hometownrival:
I'm having a bit of an issue with the app icons within the folder. If you look at the screen shot below, you'll notice that the 4 apps in the folder are scrunched up to the left side. In almost all of the screenshots I've seen of this widget, the app icons are spaced evenly across the screen. Any thoughts on why this is occurring?
[Android Apps and Games] hateman:
Hi

you are using the horizontal layout and this is absolut normal. If you use the vertical layout ( 3 rows and vertical scrolling ) the icon are spaced evenly across the screen ( 5 columns )

Have fun
[Android Apps and Games] hometownrival:
Thanks for the reply! If I may ask a follow-up question, how exactly do I get a folder to look exactly like this?
[Android Apps and Games] hateman:
If you mean the icons, you can donwload the icon here http://tomeqq.deviantart.com/art/Plastic-Box-152707591

The layout can be change under Settings-> Widget Settings -> Widget Layout
[Android Apps and Games] ianmcquinn:
I'm not sure if this is what he was asking, but I'm curious how to get the launcher like that (4 icons spaced out, but only 1 row instead of 3 like when you set it to vertical). This would actually make the app exactly what I want (if you can have larger icons with the launcher background auto adjusting in height).

Great work by the way. Love both this and SimiClock!
[Android Apps and Games] hometownrival:
That is what I was referring to. I definitely could have made that clearer. :p
[Android Apps and Games] itbedave:
First of all, EXCELLENT APP! I LOVE IT! Much better than Folder Organizer IMHO.

A couple of comments:

1. I don't seem to be able to change the icon layout once it's been set. For instance, I went to change one of my folder icon layouts after I'd set it with a new icon (had no problem with that) - tried to change the icon size and text color/background, saved settings, went back to the home page - the icon layout hadn't changed at all. Went back to check my settings again - and they were saved just like I had thought. Any ideas?

2. I DO like Folder Organizers feature of asking if you want to associate an app with a folder when you download a new app from the market. Any chance of adding this as a feature in the future?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] kawsy:
I love this app. very useful for quick access.
[Android Apps and Games] ianmcquinn:
Are you sure you placed the icon as a widget instead of a shortcut? If it's a shortcut, you would have to remove then replace it (they don't update once placed). If you are using it as a widget, not sure what is going on...
[Android Apps and Games] itbedave:
Yep - that's what it was! I had placed the first 2 as widgets but the one I was trying to change I placed as a shortcut for some reason. Went back and tried it again, and all is well! Thanks for the tip!
[Android Apps and Games] Mellow_Ninja:
I've been using this app for a bit now, and I really like it. Here's an issue I've noticed:

When I click the folder and receive the list of apps, most of the time, I have to double-tap the app for it to open. Then, once the app is selected, I've noticed that instead of highlighting the app before it transitions, the icon will disappear, which reveals the background image through that square.

I tried to take a screenshot, but it doesn't take a picture until after the app loads.

I'm lost

I've not gone into all 32 pages here so don't flame. but google searching and reading the first 9 pages havent helped.

When i attempt to change the icon of the folder, all I get is "Gallery" and "Icon Pack" as my options.

I have a few Icon packs installed but none of them show up in that list. The one i am trying to make work is "Tha Icon" pack in the market. However, it doesnt give me an option to select this. What am i doing wrong?:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] hateman:
Hi

both issues will be fixed with the next version which will be available on Friday or Saturday.

Have fun
[Android Apps and Games] caotiantupi:
Sounds good, I will try it!!
[Android Apps and Games] sniffs:
Feature request?

1. What's the possiblity of being able to remove the widget name entirely, so all it shows is an icon?

2. Also, I use ADW.Launcher and I have all my dock icons hidden so it expands my desktop.. unfortunately doing this makes it so that I have an icon on the desktop to open my app drawer.. however, I can't seem to add that shortcut to Simi widget.. I'd like to have my simi folder widget show my apps I've added with maybe the app drawer shortcut inside it?

is that possible or no?
[Android Apps and Games] hateman:
Hi

yes you can remove the name, just select a Widget Layout without the name.

Adding shortcuts in a SiMi Folder is currently not possible, but will be in the future.
[Android Apps and Games] flashsam:
The changes in the new version are amazing, thanks for all your hard work.
[Android Apps and Games] creage:
hateman, what about direct call for contacts? I hoped have it in this release, but didn't get) Anyway, thanks - configuring of icon sizes are great feature)
[Android Apps and Games] sniffs:
Thanks.. this app is awesome btw..

Only thing is the very top left corner widget icon has the small icon.. the ones with no names are large and make the icon large. :)
[Android Apps and Games] gbarayah:
One of the best applications available on Android got even better!

Love the ability to customize the Launcher in the most recent update as well as ability to resize icons.

Thank you for all of your hard work. Can't wait to see what is yet to come in future updates!
[Android Apps and Games] irish22022:
continues to get better and better, and I continue to get closer and closer to deleting Folder Organizer.

I still need FO because I like to change the icon/rename apps within the folder (example, Gesture Search is a terrible name and icon for the app, I much prefer a magnifying glass and calling it "search"). And, like some other users, I need to be able to mix the types of folders. I have folder on my homescreen that is all of my phone related things. Google Voice, Contacts, Search, and a couple of direct dials/texts.

Either way, the customization of the launchers was a HUGE update. WEll done.
[Android Apps and Games] rmoney:
great update, im more excited about this app than any other.

only things I would need to drop folder organizer and use this permanently is

* Choose size of launcher. The current one that shows only 2.5 icons is a little too small for my liking.

* Ability to rename apps

* Move any cut off app name to a second line

one possibility that might be cool is be able to have the launcher come out on one of the sides. I can't use this widget unless its on the bottom row as any other configuration looks/feels weird to me. If it could launch out of the side, be maybe 2 icons wide but like 3-4 high, it could be visibly pleasant to put it on the middle rows. this paragraph probably makes no sense so I might photoshop something together to illustrate my idea
[Android Apps and Games] wild pidgey:
Great app

Only one problem, and that is, yesterday i set up all my folders with the apps i desire.

Now today i have duplicate apps and some have disappeared. I went in to try and rectify this and some of the application cannot be selected.

Am I missing something?

Any chance of having folder previews like the picture attached?

Otherwise magnificent work.
[Android Apps and Games] niteowl360:
Awesome enhancements

The new enhancements are fantastic, especially the work you have down around the extensive options to change transparency, frame border, arrow colours etc.

Works like a charm on my latest MultiWallpaper screen.

Thanks again, hateman!

Here is a link if anyone wishes to see how the new folder options have improved this design :) Refer Post #401

haha..attached picture.. you mean make it look like the iphone folders? :P
[Android Apps and Games] thewalrusking:
This along with Simi Clock are great little apps. What I desperately would love to have is the option of putting what are I think called Direct Call shortcuts in the folder. I have 4 icons that are set up to automatically dial the number assigned. If I hit the one with my brothers name, it dials his phone number directly

Is there anyway of getting this type of link set up inside the Simi folder?

It appears it only lets me add, an actual app, bookmark or contact. I dont want contact cause it opens their contact card, and it doesnt dial their number.
[Android Apps and Games] usn.mustanger:
Or MIUI folders...
[Android Apps and Games] SFXfin:
Definitely a keeper, cheers for this!

However, a couple of things.

What differences do the sizes make? I don't see it...

Any chance of custom space above and below icons, now only item width?

Any icon packs incoming? Even an option to just choose color of the outline in the basic folder icons would be great.
[Android Apps and Games] F-GT:
Same, just un-installed and re-installed and got 1.5.4 again but it's actually 1.6

Looks like the version bump didn't work properly.

The app is clearly the updated version - still says 1.5.4 yet the changelog has 1.6
[Android Apps and Games] hateman:
Ups. forgot to change the heading.... Sorry

Will be fixed in the next version :-)
[Android Apps and Games] Aage87:
Great app, I love it!

Is there some way to make a contact folder where clicking a contact makes the phone call that person, rather than opening the contact info?

Also, is it possible to change the icons of the items in the folders?
[Android Apps and Games] sixo:
Great app, but i also really miss the option to directly call the contacts from the folder. One click less is always welcome:) thanks and keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] hateman:

it would be even geater when a opened folder will be closed directly when opening another :D

is it possible for you to implement this?

[Android Apps and Games] AndroidKills:
Funny thing i came across is that in the market you can search icons and there will be icons for those Launcher Apps. And surprisingly those icons work for this app too.

Or

You go to the themes section in the forums and look for some icons there.
[Android Apps and Games] shad0w77:
would love to be able to make a folder of folders. this way my app drawer icon will launch the parent folder and then i can drill into the games/media/productivity folders from there....
[Android Apps and Games] cheariot:
Great folder organiser app!

This is definitely the number one of my fav folder app, a keeper for sure!

After using it to manage my apps, i wonder if these feature could be added:

smart simi folder, based on some simple filter selection, e.g.:

top 10 apps

app contains word 'sms'

app name start from 'A'

etc

If it could support multiple filters, e.g. App name start from 'A' OR App name start from 'B', etc. It will definitely add more fun to using SIMI FOLDER!

Again, SIMI Folder rocks!

Thanks!

While I've been using SiMi folder for a while, I only just recently decided to give SiMi clock a try. And man, am I impressed. I've tried so many clock widgets, but this one suits my style the best. It is a work of art in it's elegant simplicity and functionality. And this update just makes it so much better. Thanks so much, hateman, and keep up the great work!

BTW, just thought I'd include a screenshot of what this clock looks like with my theme. Love it.

No, I'm not. If it's any help, my phone: Xperia X8 OS 2.1 not rooted

I don't install apps very often, so I can't tell if this happens every time. I've just noticed that recently after installing one application (and I think it was already after the latest SiMi Folder update). Also, I can't confirm there's the same issue after updating apps, as psxindo described - I didn't have a chance to check.

Thanks for your hard work!

Very useful app :)
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
This is really nice on the Nook Color, as the stock ROM on it you can't create shortcuts etc..

Would it be possible to make the "vertical" scroller larger? My "Games" and "Tools" folders have around 20 entries, and there's plenty of space to show 'em on the screen but the view is limited to 2 rows (plus top of next row of course).

Cheers!

[Android Apps and Games] HosainH:
Lovely widget does everything I would need it to do.

I was just wondering if being able to load more folders in one widget (e.g. one 4x1 widget holds 4 folders) would reduce the amount of resources it takes to have four seperate folder widgets.

Doing so would probably let you make the 'switch between folders with going back' feature easily also.

This icon pack goes lovely with this widget: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=913747

[Android Apps and Games] frysee:
Stumbled upon your app today and needed to try it out - the folder popup fits my MIUI rom pretty nicely :)

I noticed some weirdness while trying to line up my freshly created folder with the rest of my icons:

I would also like to second the request for customizable in-folder-icons, I'd even donate for it ;)

greetz
[Android Apps and Games] usn.mustanger:
See the link in my post on the previous page. There are also some other great sets linked in other posts on this thread. Do a "Search this thread" for icons, and I'm sure you'll find 'em. I agree, though, it would be nice to have these links copied to the OP.

Frysee, how'd you get those icons you're using for your SiMi folders? I'm familiar with MIUI folders, and how the folder icons show 4 icons previews of what's inside, but how'd you replicate that for standard icons for your MIUI folders? Very nice.

And while we're on the subject of feature requests, I'd like to reiterate my strong desire for an easier method for assigning apps to folders--much like the Apps Organizer/Folder Organizer method, where you're presented with a list of all of your apps, and tapping on an app presents you with a pop-up check-box selection list of your existing folders. This list also shows current folder assignments beneath each app name. This method does three things for you:

See at a glance apps that haven't been assigned to a folder yet (very useful when you have a ton of apps, or are constantly trying out new apps)

Quickly and easily assign all apps to folders in a far more streamlined process that requires FAR fewer clicks than the current method does

Easily assign one app to multiple folders in one step

For those of us with a lot of apps and a lot of folders (and also for those of us that are a bit OCD and are constantly changing our setups--and really for all users, actually), this method of app-to-folder assignment would be an absolute godsend! Just for kicks, install Apps Organizer or Folder Organizer, set up some folders, and try it out. The method is fantastic. SiMi folder is still far more customizable and performs much better than those other two, which is why I prefer it, but the process of assigning apps to folders is VERY tedious and time consuming in SiMi.

Hateman, I've already donated to you, but I would gladly send another donation your way if you were able to implement this!!
[Android Apps and Games] hateman:
Just wait a little bit longer ;-) I hope to have the new version online this weekend.
