Preparing the menu for the trick

Before doing the trick, you need to have a couple of things done on your phone's menu:

1 - Create the new folder "Most Used" in my main menu

2 - Move the "Most Used" folder so it is the first icon in my menu (and this is very important)

3 - Place any application, like Camera, so it is the 5th application on the menu list (the default icon highlighted when you press menu)

Refreshing the menu

In order to do this trick, the menu needs to be refreshed, and that's how you achieve this:

1 - Place any .sis / .sisx / .jar application on your phone

2 - Install this application (I will install eBook mobile trial)

3 - Before the installation is over, ie check the screenshot, press the menu button, the default highlight will be "Camera" (as I have move it to be my 5th application)

Performing the trick

1 - Directly after pressing menu button, press options (left selection key)

2 - WAIT for a couple of seconds and don't press anything more (even though it may seem like the phone has frozen)

3 - The menu will refresh: instead of having "Camera" highlighted, the highlight will be on the first icon, ie the folder "Most Used" but the options list will still be open (check the screenshot)

4 - Choose "Move to Folder" from the Options list

5 - Then choose "My Own" as a target.

6 - That's it http://www.?????????????????/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif The "Most Used" folder is now in the "My Own" folder as a sub-directory

Explaining the trick

1 - The whole point of the trick is to have the menu refreshed while the options list is open with "move to folder" as one of the possible choices. This happens when u press options while having an app (and not a folder) highlighted. That's why I chose Camera.

2 - I decided to place Camera as the 5th app (the default one selected, so no buttons needed to be pressed) because when u press Menu just before the installation is over, the phone is in such a delicate confused state that the least buttons are pressed, the better it is.

3 - When the menu refreshes, the highlight moves to the first icon on the menu, which means that whatever this icon is, if the options list is still opened, you can pick any choice from it and let it apply to the first icon, instead of the 5th icon

More to the trick

1 - You can create sub-directories and sub-sub-directories and sub-sub-sub-directories... the possibilities are endless

2 - You can move any app / game to this newly created folder, just by selecting it and pressing options > move to folder, ie like you normally do with any other folder (check screenshot)

http://a1.vox.com/6a00d09e4f4de9be2b00cd970ff5714cd5-320pi

3 - The menu also refreshes after uninstalling an app, so you can also perform this trick just before the uninstallation process is over

may version ako nito.. di siya masyadong magulo.. hehe!!

di naman siya secret folder, kung gusto mong mas na maayos ang phone menu mo gawin mo ang trick na ito.. ^^

ganito rin pala pero medyo magulo lang yung pagkakaintindi ko sa una.. ^^

eto naman yung akin.. post ko yung screenshots ko pag accessible na ang blogsite ko..

Kunwari gusto mo ilagay si A(folder) sa loob ni B(folder).. Pano ang gagawin mo? Ganito lang yan, una ilagay mo si A sa unahan ng list mo.. diba pag click mo yung menu 9 icons ang lalabas? ang gawin mo lagay mo siya sa slot 1.

Sunod niyan, open ka ng application manager, pili ka ng installer, yung mababa lang, mga below 100 kb in size para di ka maghihintay ng matagal..

Ngayon, click mo yung menu, (tuloy-tuloy lang yung installation), maghighlight ka ng isang icon, dapat wag folder icon ha. Yung may MOVE TO FOLDER na options..

pag nainstall na yung ininstall mo, marerefresh yan tulad ng sabi ni marky, marerefresh kasi may bago kang ininstall.

pag narefresh e di punta siya ngayon sa slot 1 dun sa kinalalagyan ni A na may options na MOVE TO FOLDER, yun, malaya ka ng makakapili kung san mo gustong ilagay ang folder na yan..

parehas lang talaga.. tagalog lang ata? ewan ko..

post ko din yung screenshots ko dito pag maaccess ko na blogsite ko.. hehehe!
