Don’t want your iPhone home screens look messy? If you have a bunch of iPhone apps installed on your iPhone, you can organize them neatly in the folder created using categories. Categories is a jailbroken app that allows you to group your apps into a folder (or icon) on the home screen. There are many icons available for you to choose to differentiate the apps you’ve grouped, such as games, utilities, photography and more.
Please note that your iPhone must be jailbroken to install the categories.
1. Launch Cydia installer and on the search tap, type “categories” to find the app.
2. Select “Categories” and tap “Install” then “Confirm” buttons to install the app.
3. After installation completes, close Cydia installer and the “Categories” icon will appear on the home screen.
4. Tap on “Categories” icon to launch, tap “Add” and type the name (Games) for the new icon.
5. Tap “Add” and select the icon for the “Games” icon.
6. The “Games” icon will appear on the menu and tap “Add” button.
7. Select the apps to add to the “Games” icon and tap “Done” then “Done” buttons.
8. Close “Categories” and the iPhone will respring.
9. To add another icon, repeat step 4 to step 8 with a different icon name.
The selected apps will be grouped into the “Games” icon (folder) and its icons will no longer show up on the home screen. You can always add other apps to the “Games” icon on the later time. To launch the apps, tap the “Games” icon and select the app.
