Download Tools

By default, the GNOME (Shell) overview displays applications in two views: "all", where all the applications are listed in alphabetic order, and "frequent", in which the frequently used applications are displayed.

GNOME Shell supports grouping applications in app folders, and there are two such predefined folders, "Utilities" and "Sundry". Some might not know how to create custom app folders, so here are two ways of achieving this.

GNOME AppFolders Manager is a tool to create and edit app folders in GNOME Shell.

The application is fairly easy to use - in the left section, you can create, delete or edit app folders, while in the right section you can add (or remove) applications to app folders.

Once youve added the applications you want to an app folder, click the save button. Thats it! Heres a custom GNOME application folder I created using GNOME AppFolders Manager:

To install GNOME AppFolders Manager in Ubuntu GNOME 16.04, 15.10 or 15.04 (the app requires GNOME 3.12+, while Ubuntu 14.04 uses GNOME 3.10), you can use the main WebUpd8 PPA. Add the PPA and install the app using the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt update
sudo apt install gnome-appfolders-manager

Note that in my test, the instructions below did not work in Ubuntu 16.04 with GNOME 3.18 and GNOME Software 3.20 (no error was displayed, the appfolder simply wasnt created). It didnt work in Fedora 24 with GNOME 3.20 either, but it did work in Fedora 22 with GNOME 3.16.

Also, GNOME Software is not available in the official repositories for Ubuntu versions older than 16.04. So for Ubuntu and for GNOME versions in which this functionality is broken, use GNOME AppFolders Manager.

If youre using GNOME Software, you can easily add applications to app folders and create new app folders. To do this, launch GNOME Software, switch to the "Installed" tab and click the select button (top right):

Then, select the applications you want to add to a folder and click "Add to Folder":

And finally, simply select the app folder you want to add the applications to, or click "+" to add a new app folder, and click "Add":

By default Google Play will not allow you to download apk files from Play Store on your PC. But thanks to an Android app Developer, Evozi, who has made a one-click online APK download app that will allow you to easily download the APK file of any Android app that’s listed on the Google Play store. You can access the Downloader at apps.evozi.com.

To get started just visit apps.evozi.com and after that there you have to enter the web URL of the app which you want to download from Google Play and click on the “Generated Download Link” button. After that the Downloader will fetch the required APK file from Google Play stores and will give you the download link to download the file.

Note that, this app will only download those apps which are available free of cost on Google Play Store.

Samsungs Touchwiz UI has many Notification Toggles which help us to easily enable disable frequently using options like WiFi, Bluetooth, Mobile Data, GPS, Screen Rotation etc. These toggle buttons are very handy as it needed just a single tap to disable or enable the favorite option. In this post I included another handy feature of Notification toggle which helps to easily access the toggle options setting screen.

For example if we want to receive files via Bluetooth we need to change the visibility settings if the device not paired. In this case, we can access the Bluetooth visibility settings by long pressing the Bluetooth toggle button. The feature may familiar to many Samsung users. But still its worth writing here if its helpful for any new user.

This feature is tested on TouchWiz Nature UX version dont know if its available in older TouchWiz version.

Method:
Long Press on the corresponding Toggle to access the settings screen.
