MyMenu vs. Catorise
 
If you don't know: these two apps changes your menu structure. You can find them in the app manager.

Do you use MyMenu or Catorise, and why?

I've been using Catorise for a while now, and I like it. The category icons are the ones from the app manager, which looks quite good IMHO (even though an option to choose another icon set would be nice). I tried to install MyMenu, while using Catorise, but that didn't seem to work out too well. I've still to try MyMenu without Catorise. I think I'll try that right now.

So what's your favorite?

I tried Catorise although it stuck my phone in aa boot cycle and I had to reflash...

I think it didn't like having Tweakr installed.

I'd be interested in knowing what people use too, as well as any compatibility issues they've had or not with Tweakr...

Actually I use MyMenu.I will go for the first app who has the ability to move apps around to different folders and creating/deleting folders in the menu.

I use MyMenu... Because I hadn't noticed Catorise yet.

I use Catorise because when I installed MyMenu a long time ago, it made my phone go in an infinite boot loop and I had to reflash. And Catorise is better since it takes the icons from theme's app manager icons and categorises automatically and not according to some hand-made text file.

Why didn't you make a poll?

Catorise is better than MyMenu.

Firstly, MyMenu doesnt work very well. Such as having Doom in Navigation and other games in different folders BUT the games Folder.

Catorise is perfect. It places things exactly where they need to be. Although I would love to move a few things around.

The main difference is that Catorize, as its name implies, automatically categorizes apps using information that is already in the packages. You can override that if you wish, but overall it works well. This is way better that MyMenu, which does the same thing but with the poor author manually adding apps to categories as they appear. My guess is he'll get tired pretty quickly...

Credit goes to the MyMenu author for having the original idea and first implementation. Right from the start Jaffa pointed out the right way to do things, after a while he got tired of waiting and did it himself, hence Catorise.

I wholeheartedly disagree with this statement.

If you run the menu updater utility that comes preinstalled within the System folder with MyMenu then I have never experienced an application being installed into the wrong place (which I have multiple times with Categorise).

Even though this is also only personal preference, I also prefer the icons used by MyMenu.

Just uninstalled Catorise.

For some reason it really hoged my device. It took it 5 seconds for every click to execute it. After removal, everything works fine as before.

Will try MyMenu to see if it will work better

I thought it was pretty unusual for someone to jump in and take someone else's idea on a project that was very new and call the new project his. So I decided to go with the original idea. If someone else had noticed how horrible the Nokia menu was, I would have supported them, but everyone was blind till the MyMenu author arrived on the scene.
