Lifehacker reader Ryan Thistle made his home screen a little easier to use with big, tiled icons in a layout similar to the dialer on a phone. Here’s how he put it together.
Each button is actually a folder containing all apps in that category (like games, settings, social networks and so on). He has no other home screens or docks, and he uses widgets on his lock screen to get the weather and the calendar, instead of putting them on the home screen.
- Launcher: Nova Launcher with an 11×11 grid
- Icon Set: Metro UI Dock Icons from dAKirby309
- Simi Folder Widget for each of the 10 folders
- The Google Search Widget for search (not the persistent search bar setting in Nova)
