Rename a Folder on Your Android Phone

droid-folder-icoIt's easy enough to create a folder in for your Droid or other Android phone, but the default name of "Folder" isn't ideal. And, there isn't a way to change the name as you create a folder. (At least as of Android 2.1) What's worse is that changing the name on your Android isn't very intuitive. Let's take a look at how to rename a folder in Android.

 

Tap to open the folder you wish to rename.

droid-add-to-home-3

Press and hold the title bar at the top.

folder-rename-1

As you press and hold, the title bar will turn yellow....

folder-rename-2

and the Rename menu will appear.

folder-rename-3

Type in a new name and click OK. Since I am making Navigation shorcuts, I'm naming my folder "Navigation." ("Oh, how original dude... ") Then click OK.

And, viola, you've got your renamed folder on your Home screen.

folder-rename-4

Easy enough, but like I mentioned at the top, not the most intuitive. If you missed the first step, this is how you create a folder. And, if you want to create Navigation shortcuts like I did, you can check that out in this post.
