Is this the proper forum for bugs?

I have angry birds in my simi folder. I also disabled screen rotation. Before I launch Angry Birds the simi folder opens fine. If I run angry birds (which is a landscape based game) then quit then open the simi folder again it opens in landscape mode. It looks really weird because my launcher is still in portrait mode and yes I am holding the phone in portrait mode.

I can also replicate with the game Paradise Island, another landscape based game.

Thank you hateman. :) I really appreciate your hard work with this program.
[Android Apps and Games] HearthC0re:
Wow!

Just tried this out in uison with Desktop Visualizer and it works FLAWLESS!

Perfect, this brings completely new possibilitys to my Screen! <3
[Android Apps and Games] ricc@rd:
I have the same problem, and I have already posted it here
[Android Apps and Games] 5hi7h34d:
Agree, will purchase on payday!
[Android Apps and Games] muzens:
@hateman

Many thanks for this brilliant app.

Long may it continue.

Would it be possible to:

1. Add notification of new apps installed, to label them.

2. Increase the height of the launcher pop-up.

3. Have widget icons displaying the apps inside (like the folders of go launcher/MIUI)

Many thanks again.

How do I put widgets in a folder. I have 6 widgets that I only can add to the homescreen, but is there a way to put them in a simi folder.
[Android Apps and Games] 5hi7h34d:
Possibly dumb question...

Before I ask I'll mention that few weeks ago I backed up my simifolders, uninstalled free version, then reinstalled it. As I recall the backup was wiped by uninstall.

Anyhow, just bought Pro version, and it appears they are 2 distinct different apps to the OS? I can now uninstall the free and continue on with the Pro version now that I restored folders?

Somehow I got the idea the Pro version was simply a key that unlocked the free version, apparently I was wrong? Not really in the mood to re-create all my OCD folders. ;)

NM, figured it out the old-fashioned way. BUG: exported, then imported folders lose their custom settings like text color of the widget.

Also, I could see people getting mad about losing their folders when buying an upgrade should they miss reading the warning about backing up folders when upgrading to Pro. The Pro version should do this automatically.
[Android Apps and Games] reinholdkorst:
In simi folder you can put shortcuts, bookmarks and applications in a folder, is it possible to create from a widgit a schortcut or bookmark and add this to a folder.

I has color notes and with the notes I make a widget, but i can`t put die notes(widgets) in a folder. The app colornote can be but not the notes separate.
[Android Apps and Games] 5hi7h34d:
Never have seen anything claiming this app will let you add a widget to a simifolder. What gives you this idea? I think the very nature of widgets is that they are useful as used on the homescreen (for the most part anyway) and the very nature of a widget would preclude it from being "in" a simifolder. Yea, I can think of a couple widgets that are 1x1 and might be handy in a simifolder but generally I think it's a useless idea.

Then again, that's just my opinion.
[Android Apps and Games] hateman:
Ok

Next Version will have the possibillity to stretch Icon :-)
[Android Apps and Games] hateman:
Strange

Normaly it should open the Gallery.
[Android Apps and Games] mikep99:
Have you tried claring the cache and data for the default Photo application?

and also Gallery for that matter?
[Android Apps and Games] sq1:
I didn't explain well :s

i have the default HTC Sense photo gallery (the same that opens facebook albums), but i doesn't show up PNG's... only Jpegs. I've cleaned the caches.
[Android Apps and Games] Warfighter:
awesome widget

nice dude, on DEFY here! works well

Now for some feedback, I noticed that once you assign an icon image you can't remove it, so I had to recreate the folder :rolleyes: will there be an option to remove the icon image?
[Android Apps and Games] pocketAM:
Great Work !
[Android Apps and Games] jagabongo:
scrolling vertically instead of horizontally would be nice too! ;)

But indeed awesome widget! 10/10 :)
[Android Apps and Games] eleazar123:
This is great! I love how it doesn't pop-up an entire window and is just a bar, similar to the iPhone. I'd love to be able to make the app icons bigger (in the folder pop-up) and reduce the space between the icons in the folder.

Where can I find the icons that you have in your screenshots? They look very nice. :D

Thanks! You should make a donation version. Or maybe have a donation link for this specific app so Google doesn't get 30% and then you can still track how much you've received for this app :)

Thanks for writing this up :)
[Android Apps and Games] honza.chlan:
maybe I am the bigest lama in the world but can you tell me where i can download this widget?
[Android Apps and Games] honza.chlan:
Ok I am the LAMAAAAAA. :) its cool. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] nuggyunlimited:
Can you post a link please I'm not by the comPuter and I can't scan the barcode off my phone screen
[Android Apps and Games] kr8r:
Simple awesome!

This is pretty much made of pure win!

:D

I had a bunch of thoughts, ideas etc. but really I think they have all been addressed by other users and replied to. So instead I will just sit here and be very happy with has been released and anxiously wait to see how it this grows and develops.
[Android Apps and Games] demster:
Great widget! Looks iPhonish but that's nice :) The pop up and the scrolling are smooth. Icons are a little small though.

Few things I'd like to see:

1. Verticle scrolling (like 3×3 or 4×4)

2. Larger icons (and closer together)

3. More iPhonish, as in preview of the icons in the widget (combined with verticle scrolling)

4 (instead of 3). A few default skins for the folders (like games, apps, gallery, fun. That sort of things)

Great work! I was looking for such a widget for a while now.

Sent from my laptop using Firefox
[Android Apps and Games] birdfoot:
I've tried a few of these folder organizer apps but imo, this is undeniably the most usable (and attractive).

One display flaw I've noticed so far is that when using the 1x1 widget with text displayed, the vertical alignment is off when comparing to a shortcut side by side (the widget is distinctly lower).

Just some quick suggestions that came to my mind:

- Provide means to allow the icons in the folder pop-up to occupy the same amount of space. I was thinking allow us to turn off app names in the folder (which will also provide more space for bigger icons) OR show the icons in a similar fashion to shortcuts (where text that are longer than designated is blurred off).

- Allow customization of the folder name (and its background) in folder pop-up view.

- Allow customization of the folder pop-up background.

Thanks. You spoilt us with this app. Keep up the amazing work! =)
[Android Apps and Games] caleris:
Great job, works really well.
[Android Apps and Games] JaviLoL:
You have officially taken all my widget space.

Superb.

I have notes in the form of post-its and i want this in 1 folder i dont like this on a screen. I want it as in second picture

I found something i use another aplication with thes i can make shortcuts and i`m satisfied. i make a screenshot and i`m using note everything.

Now I'm looking for an app i can make schortcuts of pictures, docs and pdf files, and i can select in simi folder and make a folder of it.
[Android Apps and Games] OhShizzl3:
Been searching for a while but can't find what I'm looking for.

Has anyone got the folder icons like these?

Folders in folders.
[Android Apps and Games] Roundtableprez:
One more thing to note, it may be a cm7 glitch, but simi folder does not change icons properly I have a Sony pap icon pack that is in my gallery and simi folder never changes the icon or widget layout... Now I have to use circle launcher with ugly results :(
[Android Apps and Games] guardianali:
Can someone tell me how to make the folder size multirow like the picture?

No matter how many icons I have, mine always end up being one row that is scrollable left and right.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] 3rdstring:
IIRC there is a setting for 'vertical' launcher
[Android Apps and Games] yourpassenger:
I have installed a custom icon set for launcher pro but simi folder still shows the default icons. Is there any way round this, other than changing each app icon individually?
[Android Apps and Games] 3rdstring:
Not at the moment (That's a feature I'd like to see too).
[Android Apps and Games] Holgi_Heizer:
Hi,

I'm currently playing with the settings to get an WP7/Metro style layout working. I'm using Desktop Visualizer for my "main" apps and now I'm trying to setup a similar home screen with SimiFolder for the "second level apps".

My problem now is: What are the settings and icon sizes I have to use, to get a setup with a small frame (see image 1)? I used diffent widget styles and icon sizes but either the icon is too high (expands over the widget grid (image 2) which results in an overlapping of multiple widgets. When using other settings the icon is way too small (horizontally and vertically).

image 1: main apps with Desktop Visualizer

image 2: icon expands widget grid size
[Android Apps and Games] lawgone:
Is there now a way to change the background of the folder popup?
[Android Apps and Games] D.vink:
Yes there is.

Just change the launcher style option to custom
[Android Apps and Games] 5hi7h34d:
Very misleading answer. Can only change color, cannot change the image.
[Android Apps and Games] lawgone:
Sorry for the confusion, yeah I was actually referring to the entire image of the background.

Thanks for replying though.
[Android Apps and Games] dgattenb:
Stunning app !.. you can change the folders to wee icons , don't know if you can create panels ( browse icon packs ) have the picture on your system , some one would of had to create a theme / programe etc.. and off you go .
[Android Apps and Games] Nitsson:
Two questions

Maybe I'm slow of the mark here, but there are two things I don't know how to do with SiMi.

1. How I change the default folder icon? Can it be done with the vanilla app, or do I need to download an icon pack? I don't need something complicated and I don't need custom icons for each folder, it's just that I don't particularly fancy the standard icon.

2. How do I rearrange the order of the apps within a folder? In SiMi I go to the folder, then Sorting, the Custom but I've only managed to rearrange the icons once across three ROM versions. Pressing and holding an app doesn't allow me to drag it's icon up and down the list. What am I missing?

Many thanks
[Android Apps and Games] 5hi7h34d:
Desktop Visualizer

It can't be done globally but I do it with that for my favs so I can put it in the dock.
[Android Apps and Games] XpAcErX:
I'm trying to replace the folder icons with png images but they are not showing up in the gallery. Can anyone tell me why my pngs are not showing up in the gallery or how to install a icon pack?
[Android Apps and Games] 5hi7h34d:
Do yourself a favor and install Quickpic on your phone and use it instead of the built-in gallery. MUCH faster, much better all around, only thing it doesn't have is Picasso integration.
[Android Apps and Games] XpAcErX:
thanks, I'm all set now.
[Android Apps and Games] MNEman13:
I second this request. It would be nice if the status bar stays hidden when you open a folder.
[Android Apps and Games] 5hi7h34d:
Simi Folder mysteriously decided there was an update on the market when there really wasn't. Before checking versions I updated it along with several other apps, thereby defaulting all my specific launcher settings.

What causes apps to see an update when there isn't?
[Android Apps and Games] usn.mustanger:
This past Thursday, it was (finally!) updated to v2.3. If you had previously upgraded to that one when this happened, I can't tell you why, but I can tell you that this happens to me on occasion--an app will show as "Update available" in the "My Apps" list, but when I go to the market page (on my phone) for that app, there is no "Update" button, indicating that an update is not really available. Pretty odd.

I am confused about one thing, though: you first say "Simi Folder mysteriously decided there was an update on the market when there really wasn't", then you follow this up with "I updated it". The two are contradictory (?). How did you update it if there wasn't really an update?
[Android Apps and Games] 5hi7h34d:
I updated it by tapping "update" in the market.

I determined there actually was no update by looking at this thread, then the dev's website, which both appeared abandoned. The market page about the app gives no clue about versions dates.

Evidently it was updated, and the one complaint I see in the ratings is my complaint also, many settings defaulted.
[Android Apps and Games] HEiNRY:
Thanks for the great app

I can create a folder widget without text label but the label reappear when I create a shortcut to simi folder with the same setting as widget.

Is it possible to remove the text label when I use simi folder as a shortcut? (my launcher does not allow widget in dock)
[Android Apps and Games] ricc@rd:
No more updates?? :)
[Android Apps and Games] th4r:

[Android Apps and Games] Roktgr:
This is an excellent app. Tried the free version and just updated to the pro version.

I think I have most of the options figured about but I am having issues getting the icon packs I have installed on my Atrix to show up.

I have Dark Square, Light Square, and Pure Simplicity that I would like to use. When I go into widget options these do not show in the window.

Using the ADW Launcher. I have reloaded the datacache and tired the gallery, Icon Packs, and Included Icons but these are not showing up.

Any suggestions, thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] TStarGermany:
Is there a possibility to use the SimiFolder widgets to point to an app/shortcut/action ?

I'm asking this because SimiFolder is the ONLY app I have at the moment that reliably creates icons WITHOUT any borders, no space between them.

I run Nova launcher and itself somehow always draws borders between icons, also DVR placed icons have borders but when SimiFolder creates an Icon, it has no borders around them :ß
[Android Apps and Games] manbat:
I use it to create " custom icon link to custom shortcuts.... It works fine.
[Android Apps and Games] TStarGermany:
Can yo elaborate ? Not quite sure how you mean that
[Android Apps and Games] manbat:
This is my layout. The half round icons at screen sides were created with Semi Folder.....
[Android Apps and Games] TStarGermany:
That doesn't really answer my question? Can a SimiFolder widget POINT/=START an application or shortcut directly when tapping the widget?
[Android Apps and Games] manbat:
Never tried that....I always create a shortcut to a folder. That makes any app you want just two taps away. I make custom Icons for the created folders.
[Android Apps and Games] Spin Dr Wolf:
I've recently upgraded to a Galaxy SIII, so i have been making all my folders and widgets again. Though it seems that now there is a weird pause whenever i close a widget pop up, the whole screen turns off, and then on again. Is there anything in the settings or known issues with an SIII that may cause this ?
[Android Apps and Games] S.D.Richards:
Am I just blind or is there no option to limit the width of the actual pop-up? It's always going across the whole screen even when setting 1 column.

[Android Apps and Games] boabawhales:
adding the wrong shortcut?

when trying to add simifolder shorcuts to the dock (i'm using go launcher ex), the wrong one gets added. this occurs consistently only for some folders (can't seem to find a pattern). instead of the correct one it is always the first folder that i created that gets added.

i have tried removing the erroring folder and re-creating it and i've also tried restarting phone. still the same result.

anyone else encountering this weird bug? maybe i'm doing something wrong here. thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] xmizer:
Currently, my simi folder contacts widget doesn't automatically add new contacts into simi folder, which means I have to delete the widget and add it back again every single time I want to have my simi folder contacts updated.

Is there a way to make it auto update?
[Android Apps and Games] manbat:
In Simi Folders....Just tap Tools / Reload Data Cache....it works when apps are updated also. Don't know about automating the process.

[Android Apps and Games] rprpr:
Cannot find downloaded icon packs

I am running a Nexus 4 with Nova Launcher. I am using this widget in hopes of adding a bit of customization and personality.

However, I cannot seem to be able to access the icon packs I have downloaded. I know they are there, because I can access them through Circle Launcher. But no matter what I do, I cannot find them on Simi.

I have uninstalled and re-installed both Simi Folder and a variety of icon packs. I have restarted my phone. I have cleared Simi Folder cache a few times, but nothing is working.

It is very frustrating because this widget is perfect, but I want to be able to use custom icons.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] TStarGermany:
Simi Folder is long dead :ß But there are many good replacements. Before I changed from Nova to Lightning Launcher, I used this program for shortcutting custom folders to the desktop

Hey [MENTION=3306868]wolverine73[/MENTION],

Did you ever find a way to add bookmarks? This is something that I've been trying to do for a while as well. Do you need to use the default android browser? I mostly use Chrome Dev. Is there a specific folder that holds bookmarks for SiMi?

I love this app! But I've been totally unable to find a solution for the bookmark thing thus far. rrrr. jk. Thanks guys!
[Android Apps and Games] nmyshkin:
Ditto on bookmarks

Hoping someone will see this. I've just discovered SimiFolder and really like it, especially teamed up with Desktop VisualizeR. I'm running v. 2.3 on a Nook Simple Touch e-reader (Android 2.1) and can't figure out the shortcut/bookmark thing.

I can place shortcuts on the home screen using either Opera Mobile or ES File Explorer. But SimiFolder apparently doesn't recognize them. I can bookmark in Opera Mobile and ES File Explorer. These also are not recognized. Unfortunately the "clipboard" has never really functioned on the NST and so "copy" from the URL of Opera Mobile also comes up "empty" to Desktop Visualizer.

Sort of stuck here. I want to add a few shortcuts which I have previously just displayed as icons on the ADW home screen. Now I want to put them into SimiFolders which are displayed in Desktop Visualizer widgets. My last hurdle.....
[Android Apps and Games] samleung:
Just rebooted after nandroid backup, and all the folder icons were changed to random images I have =\
[Android Apps and Games] mechtheist:
Does it back-up?

My widgets never back up, I use Folder Organizer, it does some ot the things this app does, and I really like it, one of the most useful apps. BUT, whenever I switch ROMs or need to reinstall for whatever reason, all the folder widgets are broken and I have to replace them on the screens. The folder, its layout and content are saved, but as with all widgets, their screen presence don't live through any of the backups I know of except nandroid.

[Android Apps and Games] EXQEX9:
Is there any possibility of adding a preview of the apps in the folder on the folder icon itself? I would appreciate that feature. :)

Pretty sexy app as it is though! I'm definitely using it. :)
[Android Apps and Games] -V-O-Y-A-G-E-R-:
Dunno if this was asked for already...

It would be nice if the apps in the folders would occupy the same length. If there are some apps with longer names I can see only 3 of them in a row. Making the app name break in two lines would help.

Even better, could we have the option to turn on/off showing the names of the apps in the folder? That way we could have only icons shown...which means 5 icons shown per screen when folder is opened.
[Android Apps and Games] gilrad:
Great app, I was just looking for something similar a few days ago and was a little frustrated that all the folder options were a little too "heavy".

Could you add the ability to link to special actions, like opening the battery usage dialog from settings?

Oh, and it's a bit far-out, but a radial selection mode would look pretty cool imo.
