Clean the home screen

Replace boring design and washed out colors with a much more interesting choice. Either way, take advantage of the app you previously installed for this purpose. Click on it and press + button to get a new shortcut.
After that, you need to select Add Action, open the application, select and then decide on the application you want to change. Then you have to place the app on the screen, and you will do that by paying attention to the three dots in the corner of the phone. Click on them and give you a shortcut a name.
