Motorola Droid 4 to Samsung Galaxy S5

Galaxy S5 Organize by Building App Folders

Just got the Galaxy S5. Disappointed in the implementation of this feature.

Creating new folders on the phone desktop area varies between the Samsung  S5 (SS5) and that of the Motorola Droid 4 (MD4).
 - MD4: Drag one icon on top of another, boom, new folder. GREAT, EASY
 - SS5: Drag an icon to the top of the screen, turn left Drop on the New Folder lander, Name the Folder

Simplicity is better.  What happened?  Isn't the S5 Kit Kat

------------------------------------------------------
Save room on your home screen, build app folders to contain icons for multiple apps apps into one folder.
The process for creating folders is different in Android Jelly Bean than in Android Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS).

Android Jelly Bean Easy One Step (Tablet, Phone):
  1. On the Home screen, drag one icon atop another.
  2. As you lift your finger, both icons are combined into a group.
  3. Add new apps to the folder by dragging them to the folder in the same way.
Android Ice Cream Sandwich (Tablet)
  • Folders look like ugly folder icons, similar to those used to manage files on a computer.
  • Folders must be manually created.
  1. Long-press a blank part of the screen.
  2. Choose the Folder or New Folder landing icon.
  3. The folder icon will appear on the Home screen.
  4. Drag an icon to the folder icon.
  • Any way to edit which shortcuts are in that new folder?
  • Sorting seems to work
Android KitKat
  • Folders are ugly folder icons, similar to those used to manage files on a computer.
  • Folders must be manually created.
  1. Select an icon
  2. Drag it t the top of the screen into the Create Folder at the top left part of the screen.
  3. etc.
