How do you organize your apps?

[droidntn]

You know we have all of these pages we can add, folders we can create. I've been putting things on different pages for years.
But with the new way to access apps by flicking up on the home page, I'm finding I just do that to get to the app tray.
I like a clean home screen with just necessities, 3 or 4 icons.
How do you organize and access your apps?

I have a couple folders on my second home screen my main default home screen I keep clear with just a few things at the very bottom I am looking into possibly using the edge screen at some point here a lot of options

I like my home screen to be clean. I have folders in my edge screen. I did the same with my Note 4 Edge.

I just the dock to hold 7 file folders that I frequently use: Nutrition, Money, Social, Shopping, Media, Tools and Phone. I probably can remove the phone app seeing that I use the contacts edge a lot.

I've never had icons on my home screens.
I used nova launcher and had apps on the dock with swipe gestures for secondary apps, plus home screen gestures for additional apps.

Then I started using lmt launcher with nova and used it for my most used apps.

Now I use edge and have folders for my most used apps.

Currently I have a 'empty' home screen. It just has the date and time at the top. Also like having that clean look.

My second 'page' has all my most used apps. Some of them in folders. For example, all the mobile nations apps are in one folder. The third and fourth pages are reserved for games and various apps that I hardly use.

Since my Priv has a keyboard, I've linked many of my apps to specific keys so it's actually nice and quick to launch each one.

you can have a folder of app icons in one of the spots on the edge panel? or am I misunderstanding?

I lvoe the Samsung Experience launcher. I keep the few apps Ineed on the home screen (only 1) with a small time/date/weather widget, then Ihave my calendar in a small widget, plus the Samsung Notes bar widget.

I use the swipe up for access to my other apps that are in folders. quick and easy.

Looks like I'm bucking the trend. I don't like swiping screens. I have most everything I use in folders on the home screen. I have 15 folders and three apps, plus 5 apps in the apps shortcut bar. Plus a clock and weather widget at the top. It's crowded but it works for me.

I have five pages, my home page and then two pages to the left and two pages to the right of home with various widgets, apps and folders on each. Works great for me... have had it this way since my Note 4!

Much the same for me except I had 7 pages on my N4. Changed to 5 pages on my N8 and using more folders for organizing.

I have four pages. Weather, clock, calendar and music player on the main screen, and three others of most used apps, some in folders. One whole screen gets taken up with an app I have used forever called Jot that lets you put things you must not forget in front of you (I am a list maker anyway, and getting old) on a blackboard. I still have apps in the app drawer or whatever you want to call it, that you swipe up, that I use less frequently, like a folder of games, all the Samsung apps in a folder, Google apps,etc. I usually have some wallpaper up that I like to look at so I string the apps I want out on the other two screens.

 

[pool_shark]

I have 3 screens and the edge panel.

 

[Brew Swayne]

I like a relatively clean home screen and only use the dock for a handful of apps.

Using Nova Launcher, I have a folder that opens when I swipe up that I placed my most frequently used apps in.

Everything in my app drawer is kept in folders by category. I numbered the folders to allow me to choose the exact order they're arranged in.

I have three folders in the home screen and two other apps there. that's the only screen I have. I don't really use the edge panel so I don't have anything setup on it.
