Does my home screen look too busy?

No worries. We were all new at some point.

You're welcome, I really like it, and the widget is perfect and so easy to use like this....and when I am in unfamiliar territory, food, gas, places, things to do are right there at a touch.

Yep Dallas, TX. Love it. so what city you in? Longview/Tyler?

Close but not quite. A tiny East Texas town called Grand Saline. Population, 3000. But my husband works in Tyler and that's where we go for shopping and entertainment It's 45-50 minutes to Tyler from here.

Screenshot as promised. I made folders for AC, most of Google services I use, a tools folder for the Clock, calculator, calendar, etc, music players. Any questions on my setup I will answer to the best of my ability.

I don't think so. It's about what you like and want your homescreens to look like. Some days I feel like having a lot of "stuff" and some days I don't....

Does it REALLY matter to you what anyone else thinks of your home screen? Your home screen should provide you the information you need and want to see. If it works for you, who cares what anyone else thinks?

Call down Jethro, just getting feedback and wanting to see how others are using their phones and why.....and I have learned plenty just from this thread alone.

I'm "call," Bubba. Asking for thoughts and suggestions on how to design a home screen is different than asking if "it's too busy."

They can actually be one in the same Bubba. And one of the great answers was on using folders and another was how to create said folders, information that I could use to consolidate some of my HS icons that I wasn't quite aware of. So true to the definition of a forum, ideas and thoughts were exchanged and I learned something. The more you know ***** RAINBOW****

I have used this basic homescreen setup on every android phone I have ever had. Clean simple and organized, not too much clutter IMO. For me it is very efficient.

Worked like a charm. Thanks!

I think mines too busy if anything, but I find it very easy to find stuff for me. I use nova launcher and a few gestures and more. Love it to make my old Galaxy Nexus seem newer without having to upgrade.

Holy smokes! There's not much missing from your HS lol. Someone mentioned earlier that they like to keep their HS clean so the pretty wallpaper shows.....I respect the dude as he knows his stuff, but if I want to look at art, I'll just google it or go to an art show and buy some art and throw it on a real wall hhahahahah

 

[cpaight]

Your homescreen literally gives me anxiety lol....to each his own!

 

[bembol]

My goodness. Definitely to each own.

This is my Drawer, apps I don't use that often and created folders for apps I rarely use. I just double tap to access it.

i like everything minimal as well so I have at least 3-4 icons on the home screen. .. but its all up to you.
