Number of icons on a page - is there a way

[Bluesman2008]

I thought I read somewhere that, with the GS5, you could alter the number of icons you could have on a page but I can't find any info on how to do it. Is there a way to alter the grid?

I can't say for sure that you can do that with the stock launcher, as I don't have an S5, but many home screen/launcher replacements allow you to adjust the grid to your liking. Nova and Apex are fairly popular around these forums. FWIW, Nova appears to be MORE popular here.

I am pretty sure the stock launcher does not support this but as said above Apex works great as that is what I use.

I've used Nova and tesla unread plug in for as long as I can remember. Great replacement.

Add my vote for Nova! It does so many cool things, I could never go back to the stock launcher. Installation is a piece of cake too, it will "import" your home page layouts from the stock launcher so you aren't starting from scratch.

Ok. Thanks. I'll give it a try.

Another vote for Apex Pro, the only way to go.
(Really Apex & Nova are virtually identical feature wise, except Apex runs much much smoother imo)

Apex isn't getting terrific reviews.

Works great for me, been using it the past 3 years without a problem. With 10 million downloads, they must be doing something right.
Give Nova a try if you the reviews aren't to your liking. Their both great.
