Front & center: what does your mobile home screen look like?

[SeoulSoxFan]

 
Samsung Note Edge
Lollipop
Go launcher
 
Melon is a paid online music service here in S. Korea. Naver & Daum are big portals, where most of the country's daily content is read/distributed. 
On the bottom drawer, the first icon is Mappy, a nice local map/navigation app. The last is Who Who, which crowd-sources all phone calls & identify those that are spamming/phishing.

I keep everything on one screen with folders because I don't like scrolling side to side. I also tend to keep my sports apps based on the season, just so I don't have too much deadweight there, and I try to rotate through new games every few months.

Love the "Useful Shit" and "Zen" categories, CZ.

 

[IdiotKicker]

I try to make even my home screen well-rounded.

I also keep everything in folders and organized. I probably have had the same layout for years to be honest, I could pretty much navigate my home screen without looking.

Does no one use the SoSH app?

 

[DJnVa]

Clean. I'd rather scroll to the side.

It sucks ever since the update a while back.  Won't stay logged in, can't view by most recently commented, etc.

 

[BrazilianSoxFan]

I prefer a clean home, with a big clock and the most used apps, although it's been a while since I opened flipboard. The Google for has the most used Google apps.

Certainly not my experience. View Timeline = most recently commented.

 

[glennhoffmania]

Yeah it works great for me.  Maybe I missed a bad update.

I really don't want to turn this thread in to a iOS vs Android thread but it really highlights a couple Android features I most envy. First is home screen widgets, particularly a nice big clock, weather and date (I use miCal which does not have a live icon).
The other thing, which I have mentioned in another thread, is iOS auto filling icon placement from the top down. Particularly with bigger phones it should be from the bottom up.

I paid for the Tapatalk app and use it quite a bit. The only reason it's not on the homescreen as it's on the side panel (the "edge"), which is worth the cost of admission for the Note Edge & the new curved S6.

As Tangled noted Timeline is most recent. My only complaints about the app are no polls and most tweets don't show up unless the poster makes the effort to copy the body of it.

I have a clock on mine but I've considered getting rid of it to make room for other crap since the time is always in the notification bar.  I have a separate weather channel widget that I'd never get rid of.

Very boring. But the SOSH app does represent (and is great).
 

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

 
Love it. Those aren't stock icons are they?

 

[SumnerH]

 
(Bottom row is mostly self-explanatory, that's podkicker in the middle).
 
The lock screen has the earth during day from a similar angle, and swiping it unlocked sweeps from one to the other.

Stock Android on a Nexus 6.

If nothing else this thread will end up alerting people to apps they might otherwise never even know of. I have no idea what half the ones I've seen are but if they're on home screens for people I have to assume they are at least worth checking out.

 

[B H Kim]

 
( I do use the SoSH app, but it's relegated to page 2)

 

[mt8thsw9th]

How on earth did you manage to fill up 9 pages worth of apps on what is presumable a 6+?

 

[Orange Julia]

I can never remember how to take a screen cap.

 

[Papelbon's Poutine]

For iPhone, home and power button at same time.

[SumnerH]

I had to look it up, too.  Hold down the volume down and the power on/off button at the same time for a couple of seconds.

Bonus with my edge panel home page in view as well. Samsung Note 4 Edge.

 

[smastroyin]

Super boring!  I remember when I got my first android phone I did all kinds of customization, now for whatever reason I can't really be bothered.  Clock is on the front page because I use the phone as an alarm clock.  I do a lot of side swiping, second page is for media, third is for banking/finance/real estate, fourth travel.
 
Also, SoSH app on my phone (LG G4) no longer updates, as in it gets hung up looking for any new content, but it works fine on my Nexus 7.  Snapchat also doesn't play nice with my phone anymore and some others, so I had written it off to LG/Lollipop issues, but sounds like others are having trouble too.

Exactly.  I have a credit on the Amazon app store and I'm trying to figure out what to buy.  Any suggestions?

So that eliminates "marry", but it's a little unclear which of the other two you chose.

The epic debates rage on!

 

[uncannymanny]

Pretty boring I guess. I have a screen of folders and then pages of loose apps because I got bored of filing them. I barely use the pages anyway, just swipe down to search.

See some apps on others' phones I'm eager to try. Cool thread.

 

[derekson]

 
Pretty boring. Like a few others on here, I put everything in folders rather than dealing with multiple pages. I'm also pretty anal about deleting apps that I don't use often enough to justify their presence so my app count is way lower than most people.
 
edit: just noticed looking at the screen shot that for some reason i had a blank second page. Fixed it, but for some reason springboard had rendered a 2nd page with nothing on it. Weird.

This is way off topic, but at least for me, viewing the timeline automatically logs you out.  Which means you can't use it to view any members-only sub-forums, and when you actually read the thread, you can't jump to first unread.  Maybe it's just an iOS or iphone 4s issue, though.

 

[Papelbon's Poutine]

Try deleting it and then downloading it again from the App Store. That's fixed a few problems in the past and maybe you missed an update that is causing trouble.

 

[Foulkey Reese]

I'm not trying to say that IOS looks like dog shit..but..
 

 

[Oil Can Dan]

Honest question - why the need for the big clock? I see the time and battery are up in the top right so what is the appeal? Is it because it's easier to see at a glance? Or is it the date and temperature that you like? I'm trying to understand why you wouldn't prefer to have shortcuts or icons to things you use frequently instead of that.

Well I think it looks cool, and like you said I like seeing a bigger clock at a glance.
 
Also the widget is a shortcut to weather, my clock app, and my calendar app if you click different parts of it so it's actually pretty functional.

I know, right?

I thought Apple was "all that." Their screens all look like the same Fisher Price toy.

I have the same issue, on the latest version of the SoSH app (4.0.4) it will log me out every time I go to Timeline.

I rolled back to the previous version of the app since that worked fine.

Happened on both my iPhone and iPad.

409 apps and very few folders.  I was sufficiently shamed by your comment that I spent way too much time this weekend moving lots of apps into folders, so I'm down to 3 pages.
 

 

[mt8thsw9th]

Ha, no sweat, just curious. I know a few people whose layout is just a remnant of iOS 3 and the lack of folders.
