To clarify the difference between home and main screens: home screen is the folded shut front screen, and main screen is the unfolded open inside wide screen.

So before the most recent Android update was installed, I could select from a list of options for the number of columns and rows that you could place your app icons in. Depending on the selection, it would adjust the size of the app icon accordingly. So, for example, 4x4 would hold larger sized app icons than 6x5. The infuriating part has to do with the fact the home screen is like 2"-3"x4"-6" while the main screen is 4"-6"x4"-6" or double the size of the cover screen. Before the update i could independently set the cover screen to grid size AxA, and then independently set the main screen to grid BxB. The screenshot is just where they used to be located. Iver searched thru all branches of the settings menu tree and found nothing. Fuck I hate when updates remove settings options or a user’s freedom to customize shit. The worst part is I dont think I can roll back updates on android either🤬🤬🤬

      It’s always been there in the add-on, why they removed it as a base feature beats me, but I feel they are going down the “Google route”, remove all that works and replace it with what you never asked for.

      Google used to hold a lot of nice services and features, including Chromecast. Why kill something that worked so well for so many people?

      Take a look at https://killedbygoogle.com/ if you have some spare time.

      What the user wants does not matter anymore, seems to be a default all over these days… 🙄
