One of Android’s advantages over the iPad is the amount of customisation you can apply to the home screen. Instead of a grid of app icons, Android supports widgets, shortcuts and live wallpapers, and on top of that you can replace the default launcher with one that suits you better. Such a replacement is
Apex Launcher, my current favorite on both tablets and phones. Apex can create up to nine homescreens, hide the search or status bar, use a scrollable dock that can be hidden, customise the icons and labels, add support for folders, change the app drawer style, and top it all off with transition effects, gestures, resizable widgets and a theme engine. That’s only for the free version! The pro version adds more gestures and transitions, multiple drawer tabs, unread notification counts and more.Basically the Android homescreen becomes a blank canvas with Apex, one you can tweak to no end until it fits your every need.
