Default ADW ex needs folders in drawer

Hi to everyone.

First if this kind of post is frowned upon I do apologizes, but as you read on you will see why it's necessary. As the blog for ADW has the comments closed, i suspect the out pour of requests for folders in the drawer has caused Anderweb to become frustrated as well.

I have been a hard core ADW user and love the launcher more than any other, it's fast, feature rich and meets all my needs but one....

Andrweb has decided to adopt a categories view for the drawer and as cool as that is, it's just not something i can get use too. trust me i have tried, several times.

I really just wish we could have folders, I can have all my apps on one page and folders with names just works with the way my brain works.

So with out further a due here is my begging post, please Anderweb can you help me out and add the option to have folders in the drawer, the way you have them on the desktop is sick (love it) and adding that feature to the drawer would be awesome.

As for adding comments about other launchers, please save them for another post. No need to fill this with try this try that. I have tried almost every launcher and ADW is what I'm comfortable with.

if you are with me and a loyal ADW user and would also like to see folders added to the drawer please share your thoughts and maybe with the power of word we can get this feature added or at minimum a reply from Anderweb saying he will never add the feature and at that point I/we can decide if we want to move on.

this post is in no way interned to offend Anderweb or any other person, no animals or live stock we're harmed writing this post. In fact a few trees have been saved. LOL

I agree also and a new update would be nice too and some new transitions to the app drawer and main screen would be awesome.

Thanks Guy's glad to see you feel the same way.

I think a lot (10% ?) of ADW user's might have already left waiting for folders in the drawer. plus update's.

Maybe if we can get everyone to post we can send Anderweb the link here.

So share the link to people you know use adw and want folders in the drawer.

Should have titled the post, folders in the drawer. Kind of catchy. lol
Ok i have been thinking of this to much. lol

I thought this post would get more hits, maybe I'm the only one waiting for folders in the app drawer.

One of the reasons why I switched to Go launcher.

Unfortunately I too have left my ADW Pro copy uninstalled because of folders in the drawer, using instead Go Launcher as well... I'll much prefer to use ADW, but the categories in ADW are too "clunky" to actually use at this time, well in my mind I should say.

I use ADW on my transformer with ICS and love it. I never used folders in android but I use my tablet for work and sometimes I find myself looking through a slew of apps looking for what I want. I could see putting all my work stuff into a folder would make things easier.

I also like to hide apps that Widgets and launchers throw in there, plus apps I never use like Latitude. On family members tabs, I like to hide root apps and file explorers and the likes.

Thank god for android and choices!

I switched to go for a while, I found after a while go launcher slowed down. Plus I don't need all of go launchers options.
Hopefully we will get folders in the app drawer soon.
