search for "home replacement" to see what you are getting into. if the ONLY thing you want is more screens though, go to the market app and search "Launcher+"

 

[steveinil]

ok now that you ask if the only thing i want is more screens what is the other point of more screens that the home replacement your talking about lol

Launcher+ just adds more home screens. The dev that created it also created home++, which provides a nifty little bar at the bottom that you can select different icons to put on [Not FULLY configurable yet, so there's a certain list of things it can launch, but a totally customizable one is promised.

There are other home replacements like PandaHome, Openhome, aHom [not sure if that's still around], GDE, dxTop

Each one offers unique customization options. Take a look at them [as you already said you will] and test a few out. Most of the paid ones offer a Lite or Beta version for free so you can get a feel for it.

Personally, I use home++

well i will definatly do some reading up on all this before i make a move lol alot totry to figure out but one more question if i install the home++ and dont like it for whatever reason can i go back to the stock home?

 

[wickedgrip]

^^yup if you dont like Home++ you can just simply go back to the original, I have Home++ and personally I couldn't be happier

There's an app called "Home Switcher." Using that you can easily switch from one home to another. You have the option of either launching a home (pressing the home button takes you to your default) or set one as a default. I'm using GDE right now, but I like Home++.

Yup. It's still in BETA, but many people agree it's just as good or better than apps that are being charged money for.
