A tablet with phone proportions is a wasted canvas. Set columns, rows and icon sizes for the big screen, design landscape-first, and give portrait its own pass.

Your layout is invisible labour stored in one app’s data. Back it up off the phone, restore it in the right order, and test it once while the stakes are zero.

The honest answer about Google Discover on Smart Launcher: what the feed page is, why the Google feed is not guaranteed, and how to make the built-in feed worth reading.

Curved glass breaks rectangular grids. Measure your flat zone, pull the grid inward with padding, and calibrate columns, labels and touch in five minutes.

Frosted panels over a blurred wallpaper can look expensive or illegible — the difference is two sliders used for their actual jobs, and the right source image.

Automatic categories file by software type; your life is organised by situation. Build two or three custom tabs — Money, Work, Home — and the drawer becomes yours.

Looking for Smart Launcher’s dock? The Flower is the dock, rebuilt for thumbs. How floating and fixed elements share the bottom of the screen without crowding.

One toggle makes your finished layout read-only. Where the lock lives, what it does and does not protect, and the monthly rhythm that keeps a locked layout fresh.

A foldable is two devices arguing about one home screen. Configure the cover for ten-second glances and the inner display like the small tablet it is.
