How to Get More Android Home Screens
Android devices have become increasingly popular due to several reasons, one of them being their customization potential. The operating system has its own typical user-interface which revolves around having home screens and an app drawer, along with a status bar, a notification panel and a lock screen. However, the home screens are probably the most viewed, used and customized elements. When you unlock your device, you are greeted by the home screen, which may have icons or widgets according to your preferences and needs.
Your device’s interface depends on the skin your manufacturer has applied over the stock operating system; hence there are several differences between Android phones of different makes. Generally, if you swipe left or right from your home screen, the pages change and you can scroll through multiple screens. All these screens can have their own elements, which can be edited. Usually users prefer to add widgets and shortcuts to these home screens for easy access. However, you may find yourself out of space on the available home screen and require more.
