Yes I did google it but it told me nothing but irrelevant BS about longtapping on the homestead, WHICH DOESNT WORK, and also going to the security tab in settings. There is. No security tab I'm settings so I guess those people who wrote the tutorials are either hallucinating or trolling. So how do you do it? It is very frustrating as I cannot add any widgets which dramatically slows down productivity.
Which launcher are you using? On Android, you can install own launchers like Nova, Apex or the Google Now launcher, or you can use the launcher the phone came with.
Usually, you need to long-press at an empty area of a desktop screen, then a menu comes up (usually background pictures, widgets and settings).
If you can't do this on your launcher, simply download the Google Now launcher. If you also fail using the Google Now launcher, the problem is in front of the phone
Well I installed the app to do that, but that's a bit risky because at any point in time the app could randomly break and cause cause issues massive with the desktop. I would much prefer the original vanilla experience of doing it properly and loading it normally instead of having to download a million bits of 3rd party information apps and things.
This should come with the information when the bought. It should be a standard feature and most the of the Google say that it can be done with the long tapping but the long trapping doesn't work at all it just nothing when long tapped on the empty place.
What is up with Nova? I installed it and tried to get it to work, but it was extremely convoluted and had hundreds of different options and crap strewn about everywhere. It was so confusing and apparently you add to move the apps to the desktop one at a time with each app taking 3 seconds to actually select and 2 seconds to move.
There were too many menus and small settings about how many atoms everything should be long, tall, width, etc etc a bunch of wholly unimportant things which are although useful to have for those that care, shouldn't be on the main menu for everything to gawk at. I installed the google now app instead and although I had to manually place apps from the big menu to the desktop, it was much better, no menus asking for this that how many millions of atoms you want that one particular frame window to be, none of that wonder snes.
Anyway I think it uses the Color os OS that is a standoff from android. I've heard it's awful but better than the older ones and is ripped off from apple. Now here's a genuine question, how do they not get sued by apple for straight-out copying their OS appearance? Like a normal man on the internet can easily get sued by game devs by making a video that says their game is no good, and also from just playing it at all, so how can you copy and paste an entire OS from a big company like apple and get away with it?
Actually, you can even be sued or tried to be sued by making a bad review on a video game on steam because you don't like a certain dev's games. There is no point in the negative steam review system in that case and if steam cared about their customers they should remove it entirely or at least put a very big and bold RED disclaimer on the box that warns them of this issue. Surely that should be outlawed.

This I did, but all I saw was a user-made guide that waffled on about everything and anything that didn't interest me and a bunch of "Top Ten Things About XXX" and "Why The Best "XXX" Is "XXX" and similar magazines and advertisements.
