Tips to organize Samsung One UI 4.1 Home screen

Landscape Home screen

Your Galaxy phones and tablets are set to auto-rotate by default, so the device will automatically adjust its display mode based on how you’re holding it. You can also lock the home screen in landscape mode for a clearer view.

To do this: Go to Settings >> Home screen. Now tap the switch next to Rotate to landscape mode.

Add or remove widgets

Widgets are like mini versions of apps. They appear on your home screen and when you tap them, they will activate or use the app’s feature. These shortcuts will help you access your favorite apps faster.

To add them: Touch and hold the empty area on the home screen >> Widgets >> Select your desired widget >> tap Add. There are a few options available after you place your widget. It should be noted that the options may vary depending on the widget.

• Resize: Widgets that can be resized will have a blue line along their edges. You can resize it by touching and dragging the lines.
• Color: Set your widget to a different color. You can access this by touching and holding the widget and then tapping Settings.
• Transparency: Increase or decrease the widget’s transparency so you can easily see it. You can access this by touching and holding the widget and then tapping Settings.

Meanwhile, to remove them: Just tap and hold the widget on the home screen >> tap Remove.

Keep things clean

Trying to find something in a dirty phone is really frustrating. Here are some examples you can follow to keep things neat and tidy:

1. Remove unwanted apps from your Home screen: Touch and hold the app you want to remove >> tap Remove to remove the shortcut. Or, you can tap Uninstall if it’s useless to completely remove the app from your phone.

2. Drag the Samsung apps folder onto the Home screen to quickly access the Samsung apps you need.

3. Organize apps into digital folders on your Home screen. To do this, just drag one app on top of another app to make a folder. Once you’ve made a folder, you can enter a name for it and even colorize it.

4. Add more Home screens: It’s a great way to organize all your apps and folders. Tap and hold an empty area on your Home screen >>  swipe left until you reach a blank Home screen >> tap the Add icon to create a new screen.

Meanwhile, to remove an extra Home screen, swipe to that screen, and then tap the Delete icon. Tap Delete again to confirm.

5. Hide the App Icon Labels: We can identify apps by their logos, so labels aren’t as necessary and they can sometimes obstruct the look of your wallpaper. Thus, it is better to get rid of them, another effective way to beautify your home screen.

To do this: Open the Good Lock app >> Home Up module >> Tap Home screen and toggle on Hide app icon label.

Replace apps in your favorite apps section

The bottom row on your Home screen is reserved for your favorite app shortcuts. If you want to change your home screen you can remove these shortcuts and add new ones. To do this:

• From a Home screen, touch and hold the app shortcut you’d like to remove or replace.
• Drag it to another part of the screen. Or, tap Remove to remove the shortcut from the Home screen. You’ll still be able to access the app from the Apps screen.
• To add a new favorite app shortcut, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open the Apps screen.
• Touch and hold your desired app, and then drag it to an empty spot next to the rest of your favorites.
• You can repeat this process for all of your current favorites.
