Now you can press, hold, and drag apps into the new folder. You may also be able to drag icons on top of one another to create a folder, depending on the version of Android you're using.

While we're grouping apps up, why not adjust the icons docked along the bottom of your Android's screen? These are supposed to serve as shortcuts to apps you use most often -- but the default selection may not correspond to your favorite app choices, rendering the dock useless. Did you know you can just tap, hold, and drag an app to the dock? It's as simple as that to keep the apps you use the most available at all times. Perhaps you're looking to get away from relying on opening an app every time you want to use one of its features.

That's where widgets come in.

Whether you want to take a glance at the weather, or quickly share your thoughts, widgets have you covered. To try out the ones you already have installed, simply press and hold on your Home screen and then select Widgets. To add one of them to your home screen, press and hold on the widget and then drag it to where you'd like it to display. Keep in mind that some widgets are offered in different sizes; the numbers under each widget name detail how many spaces the widget will need, both vertically and horizontally. While not specifically app-related, speedy access to your Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and Silent settings are probably the best features to add to the notification shade.

However, this is another area where you can customize which settings you need the most. Even if you only tackle a couple of these ideas, you will likely notice a difference.
