The stock 4.1 launcher has 5 homescreens. You can't add or remove screens. The "pinch and zoom" you describe is not a feature in stock Android (never has been), and is often added by third-party launchers.
You can download one of the many popular third-party launchers in the Play Store. They offer these features and more if you'd like them.

There are many different launchers that change the way your Android phone look and interact, but if you like light weight and fast, try the Holo or Xperia launcher, link in my signature.
WELCOME to the world of Android. Don't forget to read the first sticky thread of this Q&A section.

Personally, I recommend Apex over Nova. :thumbup:

Andriod has so many options for everything, Try as many as you can to find whats best for you.
Apex + Nova launchers are a good place to start if the stock launcher is not for you.

this is how you delete extra homescreen
I have a tab 2, this Samsung ui is great I see no need to replace it, here is how thou remove the extra homescreens, lay 3 or 4 fingers on the home screen and bring them quickly together like a pinch, try out till you get it right, you can thrn hold and drsg the uneeded screens to the garbage can. Ez pleezy.

This thread has been dead for 6 months and you bump it to say that? Something that has absolutely nothing to do with this thread?

I must agree. This was exactly the answer I was looking for, for my Note 10.1, and I think it was exactly on point for this thread. Too bad it wasn't answered sooner.

Motion is "ON"
Now what?

Long press the Motion section in settings. Once the Motion setting screen pops up, scroll to the bottom. Make sure Palm Swipe to capture is "On".

I could not get mine to work at all when I first turned it on. I held my had vertically and swiped back and forth with it close to the phone then a couple of times higher and higher and nothing happens.

KB112, I followed ur direction and did have the box checked.
I couldn't even get it to work when promoted to do so after the little tutorial.
Now what?
I really used this feature a lot.

i apologize for the shameless bump but this is driving me crazy

Found the answer and I feel like an idiot but this may help anyone else who has this issue. A guy named tdriscolljr76SIII on a sprint forum said this:
I had this same issue as the instructions do not explain it well. I then went to YouTube and saw a video of how this actually works. Take the side of you hand and smear it left to right or vice versa across the entire device as if it were a light squeegee. It will then make a blur across the screen like a photocopier and save to clip board.
For some reason I thought I didn't need to touch the screen. Don't know how that went wrong for me

Pressing HOME+POWER also works to capture a screen shot.

Correct, as does pressing the button on your S-pen and holding it on the screen for a second or two.

I upgraded my phone and gallery app as well as routing and doing a clean wipe on my note 2.My screen capture hasn't worked for the past week.My problem was that when I did the clean wipe, it didn't restart with a "Screenshot" folder.After creating one, swept to capture works perfect again!My 2 cents.

[Q] Today or not?

Greetings.
How to display "today" in the calendar events? I've tried $(#C0DD#-#DD)#=0?Today:#C0EE#$ from the Zooper tips and tricks but it seems like #C0DD# doesn't work anymore.

This should work
Code:
#C0SddMM#=#DddMM#?Today:#C0EE#$
. The code you used was probably meant to read $(#C0SD#-#DD)#=0?Today:#C0EE#$ because I don't think C0D ever existed as a tag. In that version it should also work

LG G4 VS986 Charging Screen Pin-Wheel - Doesn't Move?

I have the stock Launcher. Which one do you recommend going to? Just got the phone, I stitched from a Galaxy Note 4.
Had a problem with having the phone in my front pocket and the power button kept being pushed so the screen was going on all the time.
Thanks for your help.

Not sure which charging screen your referring to as I can't find any animation to what you're meaning. Tried the stock launcher but I use the APUS Launcher

Thank you for the help on that, I did know .
It's the little wheel in the center, should it go around and around?

It should just go up and up while charging. Try to re-insert the Battery or you may have to replace the phone or battery

Question Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 question

As the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 has two home screens, is it possible to set up 2 different home screens using Nova Launcher? Many thanks in advance.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I, too, have been trying without success. It is annoying when I have my large home screen looking great but the smaller, closed screen, looked squashed. Here's hoping someone picks up on this and makes it possible!

I think it's a limitation of android not yet optimized for multi screen displays

You are more than likely correct. We will have to wait until more companies start making multi-screen mobiles.
Thanks for replying!
