just curious, how many home screens are you using?

3 on my Z1.

I go for a very clean setup. The home screen has nothing on it, the left screen has the Android Pro Widgets favourite contact widget, the right has nothing but the Shazam widget. I could manage with 2, but I have terrible OCD and my main screen has to be in the middle, so I added a screen for the shazam widget.

Rather than have apps in my dock, I have 4 folders, Games, Media, News, Apps and the App drawer icon.

I use Appsi for the 8 or so apps I use most frequently.

Gotta have seven:

1. Random text widget
2. Utility shortcuts
3. Business shortcuts
4. Main page, frequently used widgets and shortcuts
5. Various web shortcuts
6. Timekiller shortcuts
7. Random scribble widget

My screens are laid out 5x5, twenty-five shortcuts per screen, plus a folder on each screen for even more shortcuts. And how many of these apps so I use? About a dozen of them, but ya never know...

1 - yes, ONE - on a Nexus 4.

I prefer to keep things in folders (on the buttons) and the only things on the (single) home screen are clock and a couple of widgets for quick control.

I've always liked clear desktops, although it has been said that a tidy desk is a sign of untidy desk drawers :)

Exactly the same way. I use one as well, but put my most used apps on my dock. I use Nova and have it set for 5 docks, so everything is a swipe or two away.
