One of the BASIC provisions of a lot of software (if not most), is the ability to create your very own, personalized, expedient, helpful, and aesthetic, HOMESCREEN! The key words being BASIC and HOMESCREEN! Say those two words together, and repeat them a few times- "BASIC HOMESCREEN, BASIC HOMESCREEN, BASIC HOMESCREEN". See how well those two words go together?
Many, years ago, someone thought of how helpful it would be to provide a way for the user to personalize their system, by customizing the homescreen. Throughout the years, that idea has been proven to work, to be beneficial, and also to be EXPECTED (or maybe a better way to say it would be "never suspected it to be obsolete".
Now, someone has thought "oh, you know that old idea of allowing a user to customize their homescreen, and how people have loved that, and used it year after year? Well, hold on tight, I have a new idea! Let's get rid of it! Let's put what we think is best on the homescreen! People just don't know what they are missing!"
I know that I may sound a little animated, but to be very clear, that's because I AM animated.
My final words are "Give it back", and "PLEASE?"
