N95 menu in V20

Here’s the menu in my N95 after upgrading to V20

Good looking huh?

S60 manages folders pretty bad in my opinion, when you create a new one, you can’t change it’s icon, and when you have a folder inside a folder (like the office folder in V20s firmware), you can’t move it to the main menu, which is bad in my opinion, since I like all my main folders in the main menu, but also like each one to have a special icon…

First pretend the “folder” folder is you office folder, and you want to move it to the main menu, but there’s no “Move to folder” option on the left softkey , you have to start by setting up like the screenshot, the folder you want to move at the last place, and any app you can easily install and remove in the place before, in my case I chose the MovingBall app.

Now go, and uninstall MovingBall thru the app. manager, quickly press menu, go to the apps folder and press options above the MovingBall app:

Now wait, the MovingBall app is being uninstalled, when it finishes uninstalling, its icon will disappear from the menu , leaving the folder hi-lighted, and the “Move to folder” options still available in the options!

And voila! Just move the folder!

And again, we shouldn’t have to use this method for moving folders , S60 should have this option right from the start, even better, they should allow changing folder icons, if BlackBerry OS can do it…

Nice trick and thanks a lot. I have a problem and I would much appreciate if you could help me. I accidentally removed the original application folder (empty offcourse) from the menu. Now I created a folder named applications but it is not the original one with original icon with small red square at the bottom. And also if I install any application, it is being installed in the root folder, not in the new created application folder. I tried 'soft reset', which doesn't bring the original menu items. I don't want to go for 'deep reset'. My set is N95-1 with 12.x fw. Is there any way to get the original menu items back withou deep reset? Thanks...Mansur.
