Want More Icons on Home Screen

[walterwood44]

I am new to Samsung coming from the Pixel 1. The bottom row on my S21+ home screen lets me have 5 icons across but the rest of this screen only allows 4. On my older Pixel, I used Nova Launcher to setup icons. Is there a way to get five across icons without a launcher?

If a launcher is needed, which one is recommended?

Even with the standard launcher (OneUI), you can use Samsung's Good Lock app with the Home Up module to put up to 9 icons (or folders) in the bottom row, and up to a 7x7 grid above that. You can also increase the grid layout size for the apps within folders.

I use nova launcher and it works well. I do sometimes wonder if I'm missing out on not using the stock launcher but, I like my launcher set up and all I had to do was restore from my previous back up.

Without a launcher, you can make the following changes:
Settings > Home screen > Home screen grid > Home screen grid. You can change the layout to 5x5 or 5x6.
Settings > Home screen > Apps screen grid. You can change the layout to 5x5 or 5x6.

Tis a shame. I really want to use stock, but I hate being limited like that. When last I tried, the theme store packs didn't cover half the apps I use. Plus I own dozens of packs I like.
