How to fix the app drawer

[norskenikki]

Has anyone figured out how to fix the app drawer being on one page so that you have to scroll up and down? Aside from all the other things that got messed up during the update, The way that it shows apps when they are open but not being used and the way that you have to scroll through those icons in the folder seems like an unnecessary change. It makes it harder to navigate for me and I can't change the screen back to the way it was. I also didn't want any of my icons to look like an Apple product. If anyone from Samsung is reading this, reverting back to the way things worked in the next update would probably make most users happy. I didn't want to wake up on a Monday morning to an update that I kept trying to defer to find that everything about my phone had changed and that I would have to spend hours trying to make it usable again. Great way to prevent phone usage though, if I'm too frustrated to pick it up I guess I'll just use my laptop more often.

App drawer Settings

1. Open the App Drawer
2. Click the 3 dots in the Search Bar
3. Select Sort 
4. Custom
5. Now you can rearrange your Apps to where you had them before the update.

That was helpful, Only it didn't put it back in alphabetical order like I had it before. Have you figured out a way to have it in alphabetical order and in separate pages? (Other than manually)

[GaryB82]

No the have to be manually moved to the desired location since they are no options to sort them automatically

Thank you for verifying. Saves me some frustration

Mine were automatically alphabetical, just not on separate pages like before.

[norskenikki]

Mine too, But I want them alphabetical and on separate pages like they were pre update. It's kind of weird that the update won't let us do both. If some people like the one-page scroll, fantastic to leave it as an option. I just don't want to use that option so that I know where my apps are per page

My issue is I accidentally moved voice recorder into a folder on a different page and I want it BACK in the app drawer.  Cannot figure out how to accomplish this.  And also frustrated with the new update app drawer change but I'll deal with scrolling but I want ALL my apps in the app drawer including the ones I've added to other pages.  Help please!

Nevermind - I just figured it out by playing around for eons but tried one more time.  I just had to hold onto it and drag it outside the folder.  All is well again in my world.  Thanks for your post!

It is possible to change the app drawer to a multi-page layout using an alternate launcher (I have this option in Nova Launcher).  Hopefully the Good Lock team will add this option rather than waiting for another update.
