So i noiticed that a couple others here seem to be pretty awesome at styling their home screen and other pages. Need ideas on icons, launchers, themes, widgets, ect... As i kind of don't want to keep being plain.

Pics would also help :)
 
Here is what mine looks like. Many of my icons also launch something else when I swipe them up because I am using Nova Launcher, which I can't recommend enough. The icon pack I'm currently using is Silhouette. And I always turn the app labels off for anything on my home screens.

Real simple. I like the pitch black wallpaper. Conserves battery. Beautiful Widgets for Clock/Weather widget. Currently using TouchWiz but also like Nova launcher.

I am using the Note 5, but I highly recommend Microsoft's Arrow Launcher. I wanted something more professional looking and I think Arrow Launcher accomplishes that. It is lightweight so it won't hurt battery life like some other launchers can and it's smooth, which is nice. This is what it looks like on my phone using stock icons and Textra for my messaging. There is an apps screen, people screen, reminder screen, documents screen, and recent screen and you can choose any of them as your home screen.

Android Central wrote an article about it.
Microsoft's Arrow Launcher is astonishingly good | Android Central
 
I don't see anyone using the "My Places" widget. It's location based so the apps change when you're in an area you set it up for. Work, Home, Car, Out and About when walking, and you can create your own locations. For example, when in my car, the apps change to Waze and Google Maps. When at work they change to My password app, Inkpad for notes and Google Keep. I'm currently at home so my screen is showing the Home location apps.
