Customizing meaning whatever picture from your sdcard u want to use for your widget that's customizable for me lol and no ive never used folder organizer
[Android Apps and Games] hateman:
Thanks :-)
[Android Apps and Games] hateman:
Thanks

Pop Up will be customizable in on of the next Versions. Shortcuts are already on my Todolist.

Bugs will be fixed in the next version.
[Android Apps and Games] hateman:
Hi

it took about 3 to 4 weeks of my rare spare time;-) ( Married, 3 children )
[Android Apps and Games] hateman:
Hi

The Pop up will be customizable in on af the next versions.

Landscape Mode will be fixed.

Thanks

Hi

Just put some Icon on your phone and then you can select them with the gallery or root explorer.
[Android Apps and Games] hateman:
Hi

Just select the Widget Layout number 7 for the folder you use in 2x2 widget.
[Android Apps and Games] Caspian3011:
I did choose the layout number 7, but the icon stays small in the center of the 2x2 space. When I manually change the size of the icon png on my PC and use that picture it than of course has the desired size. I'm using Launcher Pro, colud this be causing the problems?
[Android Apps and Games] hateman:
The icon for the 2x2 display has to be bigger. I do not stretch the icon. The build in Icon is only for the 1x1 widget
[Android Apps and Games] Caspian3011:
I know, but I asked if it's possible for you to make the custom icons to be streched according to the widget size. For example this is done in the desktop visualizer widget; it always stretches the choosen image to fit the widget size. Sorry for bugging you :o
[Android Apps and Games] :
Nice one but it would be great if i can change the icon of the apps inside the folder
[Android Apps and Games] sq1:
Very nice app!

I'm having a problem on HTC Hero, when selecting the Folder Icon it only opens the default Photo application, and i can't select my PNG icons there...
[Android Apps and Games] usn.mustanger:
I understand completely, and I'm not asking out of impatience--just wondering how things were coming. It's already a great app, so I can wait patiently for the next update (although I'm really looking forward to seeing what you've got in store for us!).

Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] Pharaohnough:
Brilliant App!

This app/widget is absolutely amazing.

Works flawlessly just the way you want it to.

The only thing I would like to see (already mentioned by other members) is a built-in Backup/Restore feature like SiMi Clock has

Keep up the great work @hateman
[Android Apps and Games] Tarpit_Carnivore:
What are the recommended dimensions for custom icons? I noticed you have a 2x1,3x1,1x2,etc icon sets like Desktop Visualizer. I tried applying the custom icons I made for DV to the folders I created in SiMi but they don't keep.

The 1x2 icons are 152x294 and the 3x1 icons are 472x150.
[Android Apps and Games] nickdc986:
Is it possibile to add just a shortcut instead of a folder?

Hi Everyone!

There are several ways of finding icons: WM7 Icons, DeviantartIcons, you can even use the search term icons android on DeviantArt for a more refined searche. (Awesome website for graphics in general!) This guy has a good thread going on as well when it comes to custom icons. Some look better on LauncherPro than on simi folder though.

Some phone forums on XDA have a show your desktop thread, I know that for the SGS this thread has some interesting desktops and a lot of people use simi folder or other ways of using custom icons. Check it out if my information wasn't sufficient enought ;)

If it was, feel free hit the thank you button :)

Right now im gonna try to stop the endless customizing, it is starting to get a life of its own :o

Edit: Forgot to mention the universal thread for showing your desktop: Here and to mention the app "Desktop Visualizer" which can make widgets bigger. (so for simi folder you create a 1x1 widget and resize it with the visualizer app.)
[Android Apps and Games] beelbeel:
Hi guys,

A couple of quick questions. I know it's possible to apply a set of colors to theme the folder popups, but is there a way to change the background image that they have? The iphone theme is cool, but being able to add a custom image would take things to the next level.

I have also noticed that the icons used in the simi folders do not seem to stay up to date with my theme icons (themed using the theme chooser in CM7). Has anybody else had this issue? I have switched the theme a few times now, but the icons are all still set to the cyanbread icons. The icons that represent the apps are different in my app drawer.
[Android Apps and Games] usn.mustanger:
Unfortunately, no--not yet, at least. I think hateman has mentioned that he intended to add this feature in the future, but it's not here yet. I'm with you on this request.

To tell you the truth, I hadn't really paid much attention to it in the past, as I have so many apps, usually only a handful of them get changed by a theme. But now that you mention it, yeah, I noticed that as well. Try this: open up the SiMi folder app and hit menu, then "Reload Appcache". This should fix refresh all of your icons in the folders, giving you your themed icons in each folder.

Hateman, I've got a bug report for you. After reloading my appcache in SiMi folder, the folder assignments of MANY of my apps got completely hosed. Meaning that I now have apps in folders they don't belong. For example, I now have navigation/map apps in my games folder, games in my PIM apps folder, etc. Basically, I think the "Reload appcache" function borked my SiMi Folder database. I'm gonna roll back to a Titanium backup of my data to see if it will restore things, otherwise, I'm in for another LONG night of re-setting up my folders. Sigh...

(Speaking of that, any word on that update you're working on that is supposed to make assigning apps to folders a bit easier...)
[Android Apps and Games] 3rdstring:
I've seen this too and I think this happens when apps that were in folders are uninstalled.
[Android Apps and Games] beelbeel:
It would definitely be good, and I hear it's in the works. The app is already an essential, so the lack of this feature at the present isn't such a big deal.

Thanks a bunch! That did the trick, and quite easily. I'm glad I know about it now. I was starting to think that the only way to get fresh icons would be to rebuild a folder, so I probably would have just stuck with the old icons.
[Android Apps and Games] hateman:
Strange will try to fix this in the next version.

By the way in the next version you can

* add shortcuts to folders

* change app icon

* manage the folders in a different way ( like folder organizer )

* and hopefully folders in folders :-)

Have fun
[Android Apps and Games] TiwitAnoid:
Great app..v nice work developers ...need to hunt for some cool looking folder icons now ;-)

So the only question left is...

WHEN

?

[Android Apps and Games] RuNT1028:
Awesome news!!!

Will this include having apps/contacts/bookmarks/shortcuts in same folder?

Thanks for all the hard work on an app you have as free!!!
[Android Apps and Games] shad0w77:

Does anyone have a nice link to folder icons? I know the typical DeviantArt response... I was not sure if there was a thread on XDA!
[Android Apps and Games] hateman:
Still Alive :-)

Hi

If everything is working as expected I will upload the new version tomorrow evening.

Combined folders need some small fixed. Folders in Folder will not be in the new version, but they will be in the next version.

I would like to install it but I hesitated when I saw the requested permissions in the Market.

Is there anybody who can explain why this app needs to have permissions to access my browser history and contacts?

As stated in the market description, you are able to create folders containing contacts and bookmarks, too.

And speaking of money, I just dropped a few more bucks into your beer fund. Have a couple cold ones on me! You've earned it!

Apologies if this has been dealt with.

Is it possible for the attributes of a folder to be applied to other folders which have previously been applied.

In other words assuming I have folders that are based on folder 'Z'.

When I change settings for 'Z' can these not update the other folders when next launched!

Thanks again for another meaningful release.
[Android Apps and Games] bountgunner:
Looking good:)

Will try it
[Android Apps and Games] wez89:
Amazing app.. takes awhile to set up your folders to how you want but the results are great.. one of my favorite apps.. Thank you (:
[Android Apps and Games] Mistaken:
I really like this apporganizer, the possebilty to change the app icons makes it nearly perfekt.

But would it be possible to make the vertical folder three rows large?

That would offer much more space...

I think it would bring the problem, that the folders in row 2+3 would be covered.

but the app seems to be able to notice where on the homescreen the folder is placed. so the folders in row 2+3 could be 2 rows large the folders in row 1+4 3 rows.

i hope it is able to understand was my idea is, i'm sorry i'm german, so i am not able to speak english...

really good app!!
[Android Apps and Games] rorycs:
Two suggestions... add automatic detection of newly installed apps similar to Folder Organizer, and add an application list - when you click the name of an app it then gives you a list of your folders and you can assign the application to a folder.
[Android Apps and Games] LORD JUNIOR:
+1 on this.

[Android Apps and Games] usn.mustanger:

in connection with desktop visualizer and the AP7 Theme icons it kicks major ass!
[Android Apps and Games] shad0w77:
can u please elaborate on how to detect newly installed apps that aren't assigned to a folder yet? TIA
[Android Apps and Games] usn.mustanger:
Ah, I think I misunderstood at first, but I see what you meant now. ;)

No, SiMi Folder won't explicitly show you what apps currently aren't assigned to any folders (although that would be a nice feature!). But any new apps installed do immediately show up in SiMi Folder (both the Applications list, and the folder apps selection lists). So just fire up SiMi folder as soon as you install a new app and assign it to a folder using your method of choice (either via the Applications list, or via the app selection list in each folder's settings). Simple enough, yes?
[Android Apps and Games] lynseyw:
This is my favorite app. Any news on when the pro version might be available? I can't wait for folder in folder!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] Computar:
Could anyone help me out with something? So when I create a folder and try to add apps to it, that menu that's supposed to have the list of them just says "nodata". This was after I uninstalled and reinstalled SiMi Folder, which I did because not all of my apps were showing up in that list the first time.

Edit: Nevermind, I didn't realize there was an actual SiMi Folder app, I thought it just added that menu for long press. Opening up the actual app resolved my problems.

SiMi Folder 2.1 Free and Pro

Hi

Version 2.1 of SiMi Folder Free and Pro is available in the Market.

The Pro Version includes Folders in Folders :-) and will get more exclusive features in the next versions.

Hope you like it.

Minor bug. I backed up my folders in the free version & when I restored them in the Pro version the text color stayed the default white instead of my custom color.

Other than that excellent work, I can't wait to try the folder in folder.

well....i just installed it.

im thoroughly impressed. im running a G1 with superE and adw launcher. works perfectly.
[Android Apps and Games] Pandemoniumone:
Been using your phenomenal applications for some time now and have purchased both pro versions, love your work!

I just ran into a couple issues after purchasing and installing Simi Folder.

I used the backup and restore feature but restoring my folders doesn't seem to work as nothing is restored. Also after uninstalled the free version of Simi Folder, Simi Clock no longer allows me to set Simi Folder Pro as a "Tap Action" in the launcher settings. I get "Simi Folder is not installed" when trying to set it up in the launcher even though it is installed. The only way for me to get these settings back is to install the free version of Simi Folder, only then will Simi Clock Pro see it as being installed on my device.

Any thoughts?

Force close with custom sort

This is by far my favorite app. I purchased the donate version right away!

So on the pro version, I noticed that when I try to do a custom sort, I get a force close. Otherwise it is great. Anyway to fix that? I really loved having them in the order I wanted :)
[Android Apps and Games] hateman:

awesome app/widget but it URGENTLY need a "select applications on sdcard" im talking about apps that are moved to SD CARD.

ive made a games folder and noticed that all my games that are on my sdcard and i cant add none of it to the games folder ive made with simi because it doesnt read the sdcard when adding apps.
[Android Apps and Games] traumatism:
just a suggestion. not sure if it works as im not on froyo, but have you tried adding the games app as a shortcut instead of an application?
[Android Apps and Games] 3rdstring:
You are talking about apps that are installed but moved the the scard under application management? Because I don't see this issue. My Angry Birds, installed on the sdcard, shows up fine.
[Android Apps and Games] TheSonicEmerald:
Awesome, been using since day 1. Just have one gripe: the applications selected in the folder won't open up the same way in which applications would open in the app drawer or homescreen (the animation is different, and I rather prefer the app drawer/homescreen launching animation.) Other than, love the app.
[Android Apps and Games] pflorin:
never mind, i did a reboot and it works smooth now :P
[Android Apps and Games] usn.mustanger:
Big problems, hateman. Due to issues I was having with CM7, I decided to switch ROM's, so I installed the latest MIUI. I had backed up my folders beforehand. So, after a clean ROM install, I restored all of my apps, including SiMi Folder (app, not data) using Titanium Backup. The app runs fine, but when I use the Restore Folders function, SiMi Folder will show me the toast notification that "Folders have been restored successfully," promptly followed by a Force Close. Every time. And even though that "success" message comes up, the folders are never actually restored. So I uninstalled SiMi Folder, and finally got around to buying the pro version. This didn't help. Still FC's every time I try to restore, without actually restoring.

I checked, and the db file is still there, so I don't know why this is happening.

Update: So I tried it a few more times, and this last time, I got the same successful restore toast message, followed by "Reloading appcache." All indications were that it worked this time. But still, no folders. They weren't actually restored.
[Android Apps and Games] usn.mustanger:
Hateman, I managed to capture the logcat, so maybe it will help figure out what's going on. Looks like an issue with sqlite, although I don't know much about it.

I have the Atrix and I have a quick question if Hateman or another Atrix member subscribed to the thread can answer. Due to the Atrix's screen resolution, the icons are exceptionally small :( I use Folder Organizer for organizing apps into folder and when I select 1x1 widget, the widget is about 2/3 the size of a 'normal' widget. I also use desktop visualizer for just apps and there are two options for 1x1 widgets. One is 'Small SS' (which is very small and is Folder Organizer normal 1x1 size) another is just 'Small' but the icon is much bigger. I'd jump on your app if you have a widget setting that is similar to Desktop visualizer

Below is the picture. The big icon is from the Desktop visualizer 'Small' the others are from Folder Organizer or DV 'Small SS' and custom shortcut.

I'd use Desktop Visualizer but it doesn't do folder option :( So if Simi Folder does, I'll love you, Hateman!!!

Took another picture where this is much more noticable.

Thanks

Rename/labels

I've been using Folder Organizer for months and have been happy, but recent force closing issues prompted me to look for alternatives. Installed this (free version) yesterday and so far it seems pretty awesome. One thing immediately jumps out at me that I would miss from FO -- the ability to rename (change label of) shortcuts, etc. In my case, the main thing I use this for is creating direct dial & direct message shortcuts. I prefer to rename them from the default of the contact's name to "John cell" or "Jane work" or whatever.

If this is already possible and I'm overlooking it, please point me in the right direction.

If not, please consider this a feature request. Even if only in the paid/Pro version -- I would probably buy it anyway if I decide to stick with this over FO, and the addition of this feature would pretty much cement that.
[Android Apps and Games] amarpatel:
I'm having a problem. I'm using SIMI Folder for contacts. Whenever I chose some contacts, there are ones that I didn't chose that get into the group.
