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.

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.

Does the Google Now work on the Note 2?
Do the cards show up as they do on the Nexus? What about vocal queries using Google Now?
Do they work the same way?
I presume Google Now is a big improvement over SVoice.

It works. No need to worry I am using it
It works well, my only gripe is getting it to come up with double clicking the home button.
I know that pressing and holding the settings button brings it up too, but it also activates the keyboard. Kinda annoying.
If your on a home screen just tap a search widget or long press menu to get it up.

You can long press the Home button and goes into the Task Manager, at the bottom of the screen you will see 3 buttons, and click on the Google button(between the task manager and remove all dustbin logo) to go into google now.:cyclops:
Long press the Menu button.
Or use the Google search bar widget

Has anyone figured out a 1 step process to get the voice action ready to listen? Like siri i guess lol.
This is my first time I have used an Optimus UI phone, so everyday I'm discovering cool new features that are actually pretty usefully. I thought it would be cool if we could share these findings. I'll start...
Quick remote will pop up on the lockscreen by tapping the home button. F#####G brilliant! I owned the HTC One and S4 they both have the IR blaster that allows the control over the TV. But no quick way to access it on the lock screen.
Ohhhhhhhh...thats why the quick remote shows up in my lock screen even tho i didnt set it to be there, i thought something is wrong with my lockscreen lol, didnt know that i just keep pressibng the home button lol, thanks!!

You can take screenshots by holding Volume Down and Power at the same time for a couple of seconds. No need to use quickmemo for screenies.

You can schedule a sms...

In the quick remote app, when you add a new device, try answering no to some of the questions even if the buttons work. I discovered different remote layouts that still are completely functional. You might discover extra buttons that aren't available on the first profile it finds for you.
Fwiw, this worked for me on my air conditioner

It didn't work on my10C version G Pro
3.5mm Klick Click Button & USB OTG
Since I almost never use 3.5 port, this additional button nicely fits on my Nexus 5.
To control this little device, need to use KlicK. By using Tasker and Secure Settings I got functional second power button. However, I've no idea how to get exact power button, cause in my case I cannot press one to wake display and press again to turn it off.
It possible to use 1, 2, 3 click action and program them to any installed app.
Also, I got a nice small black USB OTG.
Battery draws just a little bit more by 7 hours sleep I spent 4% and usually for the same without it, drawing is about 3.5 hours per 1%.
Unfortunately, I found that in Skype sound is dispersing while this button is connected.
p.s. BTW, would be great to get the same idea for microusb, cause I almost do not use it too.
It would be a lot harder to get the same functionality over the USB port as it is not hard wired for this kind of things.
For extra buttons I'd recommend you Dimple or something similar.
Have a nice day!
The one you got is the cheap version of real one. Probably will end up with bugs and unsupported app.
My wife owns a xiaomi phone, she is Chinese, and I copied the Mikey app off of it. Then I did some digging and found a English version of the Mikey app at the this site:

It's very easy, while you made an action in tasker, you just need make an app via tasker, install it and direct those app for klick.

that's been one of my profiles since the first day
1 click - home (power on)
2 clicks - starts endomondo (i cycle a lot)
3 clicks - starts camera
long click - quick settings
The "available on lock screen" option has a bit of a security issue, if you have a pattern lock and start the camera with the app you're able to view previous pics. Normally they're locked out if you have a pin/pattern lock.
Other than that this thing works great
Just wanted to say was on the Mahdi rom and was getting a google voice to text message so decided to try android L. Klick works much better on L then it did on that rom.
1 - home
2 - camera
long - flashlight
Works well (though the double click you have to time it a bit)
Not sure if someone else already posted but I figured I would share what I found. YMMV
If you're experiencing a delay in response when hitting the multitasking(recent) capacitive button (the one that's to the left of your home button) I may have found a way to speed it up.
In settings > accessibility > dexterity and interaction > touch and hold delay
Change it to custom. When you customize it take your finger off as soon as it turns green. Faster is better.
It seems to have done the trick for me. Let me know if works for you.

I think you guys are experiencing the placebo effect, this setting has nothing to do with a regular press. I've timed it on a few different Note 4s and it does not increase the speed.

Hmm. I wonder if it has anything to do with the launcher that is used. I'm using Nova.
Maybe others who are not experiencing the speed improvement are on a different launcher?

I'm really not sure what lag there was to begin with when pressing the recent apps key.
Disable the TalkBack service from Application manager, and it will be fast as 0.5 seconds.
The setting didn't change multi task button at all.
