Grab and icon and hold it on the right side of your right most page. It will create a new one.

They are actually unlimited. You can add as many as you like with the same method.

Install a custom launcher like Nova, Apex etc etc and you`ll have more homescreens. more options and also nicer and smaller icons if you want (Play Store).

I know it's in the cpr files, but when i tried to change them, the start menu didn't work at all. I want 4 icons besides each other and 4 colums. It should be possible, but I don't know how.
Something like this?

Thanks, but this isn't what I'm searching for as this is a program which has to be opened each time and slows the phone. Despite this I'd like to have 4 columns, not 5.

This might be what you are looking for http://www.wmskins.com/thumbnails.php?album=35
I also would love this, will make a request over there. They don't have it exactly, just want (if I am reading the posts correctly) 4 icons across by however many down in a square grid, not honeycomb. Just looks silly esp. now don't have the honeycomb grid behind to give it structure.

On my captivate there are four apps on the bottom of all home screens: Phone, Email, Browser, and Apps.
Any way I can change it? It doesnt seem to be accessible/customizable.
I havent found a way yet either....so doesn't seem possible.

Yep, I figured it out. Follow this:
1. From the Home screen select "Applications"
2. Menu> View Type> Customizable Grid
3. Menu> Edit
You can now slide any App down to the bottom dock. You can even change it back to "Alphabetical Grid" and it will still save the Apps on the dock.
thank you sir!

Is anyone having success with Launcher Pro replacing touchwhiz?
I really prefer launcher pro over touchwiz. Are you asking how to change the buttons on the dock in launcher pro? If so, just hold down one of the little +'s until the menu opens up and go from there.
on a related note, is there a way to remove the different pre-loaded AT&T applications from the phone? there are a number that seem useless given other apps out there that do the same thing but better, but i can´t seem to figure out how to delete them.
keep your finger on the icon you want to move a second longer than normal (if you have your phone on vibrate, it will buzz) then you can move them around the screen as many or as much as you like. You can also drag them into a bin which will appear in the bottom of the screen. This action doesn't delete the app or icon, it just reappears in the apps page. Very easy but took me ages to work it out. So simple. Have fun
Hello All,
Just a quick question... can the mini apps at the bottom be changed to use other apps? I called Sammy tech support and they said I'd have to check w/Google since it's built into the ICS OS. I find this odd because I've checked other tabs at Worst (Best) Buy and they didn't have this mini-app tray.
I want to use other apps in its place. I wonder why when you view the mini apps you'll see an "edit" icon, however, when you click on it, everything is greyed out so you cannot edit or switch-out the mini-apps.
Thanks!

I believe this is a TouchWiz feature, and my understanding is that you cannot use other apps. Only the ones provided by Samsung.

I don't have it in front of me, but I believe that lets you add and remove the existing quick apps. Also, it probably isn't out of the realm of possibility that someone could develop a quick app and it would appear, but I bet there isn't a whole bunch of people building these quick apps.

+1. I think your take on this is as accurate as it can get.
Give Apex launcher a try if you dislike touchwiz. I can't stand touchwiz.

Mini Apps is built into the status bar, not the launcher. it will always be there.
Hate it...i wish i could get rid of the miniapps, sometimes it pressed accidentally and bug my gaming time
If Olny some1 develope mini app for the notes that would be great for ppl who read and like to write quick notes, If Only....
install gmd gesturecontrol to hide the status bar
You wont press any mini apps accidently then. Also when you press edit you double click on a mini app to add/remove it.
You can remove them, they annoyed me so I got rid by following the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692173
Obviously make a back-up before deleting the suggested files if you feel you may want thm back at some point (not that I did )!

Hi all, as written in the title, how can i change the homescreens number from 5 to 1 on Android 4.0.4?
I have root permissions, so i can edit system file if it is needed to change this number, i want only 1 homescreen because i use just one...
I didn't find anything in phone settings...
Thanks in advance,
Bye!

I think that, just as with GingerBread and HoneyComb that will not be possible if you stay stock - Google seem to think that EVERYBODY needs 5 or 7 home screens. I'm with you - I only need one for my purposes.
The only way you will achieve what you want is by installing a separate launcher running on top of your system - most of these have the ability to customise the number of screens.
Install a replacement launcher - Nova, Apex or whatever. Nice and simple. Plus you will also be able to remove the search box, change the grid size and much more.

Without knowing exactly which AOKP ROM you are running on your Galaxy S Plus I am unable to do the same thing as you ought to do. Search the ROM thread in your Dev forum and if you genuinely can't find the answer then post a question in your device's Q&A forum to ask there.
thanks, i didnt find answers for this but i'll try posting that question in i9001 section

How to remove/delete unused android home screens:
Method one:
Place two fingers on any home screen and drag in a clockwise or counter clockwise direction.
All active home screens will appear and you can drag any unused screens to the trash.
You can also restore deleted home screens the same way by clicking the giant plus sign on the deleted home screen icon.
Method two:
From your main (center) home screen, press menu and choose edit.
All active home screens will appear and you can drag any unused screens to the trash.

It’s going to be very difficult to run without Nova launcher - I’ve been using it for 10 years...but my understanding is that at least for now, it’s not the way to go because Nova doesn’t support different layouts for the cover screen vs. internal screen...

WIth the Samsung launcher, you can have two different Home Screen layouts (one for cover screen, one for inside screen). On Third Party launchers, it’s one layout for both cover and inside. If you look at the OP’s post, you can see how Nova squeezed the inside layout for the cover screen.
