So a couple months ago I got the 10" galaxy tab s tablet. And have been dissapointed that you are forced to use the horrible widget screen as your home page. I bought an android wanting the freedom to set it up the way I want it. All I want is for my home screen to be made of apps I choose like on my galaxy s3. Is it possible to ge trid of this widget screen?

Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks.

Welcome to the forums. If you long press the widget, you should get a remove icon at the top. Drag it there. If that doesn't work, you may have to try a third party launcher like Nova or Action launcher.

Try Nova Launcher. I don't think you'll want to go back to the stock TouchWiz homescreen once you get used to it. (Almost all launchers, OEM and aftermarket, have some widgets on their homescreens. The second thing I do is remove all of them unless I like the weather widget. I usually keep one on one of my screens. The first thing I do with all new phones is install Nova.)
