[How to] Remove text under apps in Sense

[Riley]

Have you ever wanted to remove the text under apps in Sense like you can do easily with other custom launchers? Some of you may already know this, but you can do this easily with Folder organizer lite found in the Android market: https://market.android.com/details?i...=search_result


Folder organizer lite is free and allows you to easily change out icons as well as remove the text under each icon. For the purposes of this how to, I will be focusing on the removal of text.

1. First install Folder organizer lite from the market
2. Tap and hold the home screen and select Widget
3. Scroll down and select FO item-Folder organizer
4. Select Apps
5. Just under Choose items on the top, uncheck "Show text under icon"
6. Select the icon you want to add to your screen and hoorah, no text
7. You need to do this each time to add another app without the text.
8. Enjoy your cleaner homescreen!

Let me know what you think. If you have any questions, please ask away. Also, if you need assistance with using Folder organizer lite to add custom icons, I would be happy to add another How to thread. Good luck.

It doesn't seem to work with all widgets.
Not all of them are selectable.
Still trying to figure it all out.
It does work for Application Folder Pro. Very nice.

cool, also realized that you can use the same procedure but instead of unchecking the text, the widget creates but with a nice background behind the text! I like this especially when using brighter wallpapers. LOL

I know this is kind of an old topic but I finally stumbled upon this thread and tried this on my stock Rezound and it works like a charm. On my home screen I use the stock text message icon. Now that I have removed the text below it I no longer get the little number on the upper left side of the icon of how many texts I have. Is there anyway to bring that back?

I tried to replicate this but cannot get the number back as well.

Well thanks for trying. I guess it still shows you have a text in your status bar just no count like we had on the icon before. Oh well no biggie
