The Xperia Neo V stock launcher displays a 2x2 grid containing the first 4 apps that a folder contains instead of a simple icon. Is there any other launcher that does this or something similar?

    The stock Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4) launcher has something similar built in (it shows a cascaded view of the first three icons in the folder). – GAThrawn Apr 16 '12 at 10:33

This won't help people who are still waiting for their phone to be upgraded, but the stock Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4) launcher has something similar built in - it shows a cascaded view of the first three icons in the folder.

ADWLauncher EX has this feature as well. It can display either a generic folder icon or a circle with the apps within it much like stock Ice Cream Sandwich.

To change from Folder Icons to the Preview Icons:

  1. Go to your home screen

  2. Hit the Menu Key

  3. Go to ADWSettings

  4. Go to UI Settings

    Folder Option

  5. Go to Folders

  6. Make sure Show Contents is checked

  • The folders section or submenu doesn't exist on my device. Are you running ICS? – Erik Apr 16 '12 at 18:11
  • I run Gingerbread and ICS and it showed up on both. It may be that I have the paid (ADWLauncer EX) version and it is not in the free version. – Dylan Yaga Apr 16 '12 at 18:12
