Tab A7 Home Screen

[ctintera605]

Galaxy Tab A7, SM-T500.
I've had this tablet for awhile and seldom use it. I bought it because the price was right and I was looking at something with more muscle than a Kindle.
Currently I'm trying to figure out how to get more App icons on the home screen. I see 11 app icons on the top 2/3s of the home screen and would like to add another one or two. But I can only load new app icons on the second page (slide left) of the home screen. Am I exceeding some limit?
There does not seem to be a manual on paper or as a pdf and there are other customizations I'd like to do.
TIA
CVT

Welcome to Android Central! Do you have any widgets on the lower third of the homescreen? A widget might be taking up space that you otherwise could use for app shortcuts.

Also, long-press any empty part of the homescreen, tap Settings, then Home Screen Grid. Make sure it's the one with the higher grid allowance.

If that's not enough, then consider installing a 3rd party launcher like Nova Launcher, which gives you much more control over the layout.

Can you show us a screenshot of your homescreen layout? http://forums.androidcentral.com/ge...ide-how-post-screenshots-android-central.html
