Need more home screens.

launcher+ or helix launcher


I would've suggested Helix, but he specified that he wanted "the best app to ONLY add more home screens". Both of those apps come with bottom bars and various features as well... therefor, neither are what he wants.

I can't actually recall any app that adds only more home screens and nothing else. The closest thing I can think of is to use the launcher that Greek35T ported over, which is the default 2.1 Launcher2 app with either 5 or 7 screens rather than 3. The other thing you could do is to download xUltimate and add them yourself... but that might be a bit over your head.

If you want to take a peak at it, here is a link.

How about one with the least amount of options then?


The whole point in most home screen replacements is to add options. Like anything else, if you don't want it, it can be turned off or simply ignored. Besides... you will probably find some features you absolutely love that you never even knew you wanted.

If you don't want to try your hand at xUltimate, then I would say try Helix first. I absolutely love it.
