Yep, app drawer would make the free launcher far more useful as you wouldnt have to return to the normal desktop.

I hope they include something with that sort of functionality.

I think they consider the 'normal desktop' as an app drawer for the free launcher.

I think folder management would be more useful in free launcher (if not implemented yet)

I vote YES because I would use it but I don't really think MIUI would implement it right away since the actual design of the launcher is what makes it so unique.
Perhaps it could be an optional thing to be enabled or not by user choice.

What you see here is...
The rambling verses of a bored man who decided he should have a signature but didn't know what
to sign so he just sat there at his computer writing whatever came to his mind and as a result...
...now you know you should have stopped reading a long time ago, don't you??

Just make a folder and dump your apps into it and put it in the dock area :-) then backup the layout using the Backup app :-)

Would be great if they did something to say for example, in Settings. Toggle a setting to enable app drawer. That could then in turn move ALL applications to an app drawer.

Toggle the feature off and it would restore previous folders and such.

Just a thought :-)

that would be perfect! :) the power of customization. hehe

btw Mark, could you take a look at this screenshot? what are those two apps written in China? are they the Virus Scanner? is the built-in antivirus only an on demand scanner?

i'm using avast mobile security to get real time monitoring antivirus with antitheft feature. i lost one phone last april, stolen in a bus. kudos to the theft, i purchased my first android phone afterward.
