There are many faces of Android: There's the stock version offered by Google that's stylized in Google's own vision, and there's the version that your manufacturer would rather have you use. When it comes to interfaces we wish we could change, the latter version is usually the one causing headaches.
It'a a matter of taste, but the interface that your Android phone comes saddled with may not always be the most appealing, and that's why there are myriad launcher apps available in the Google Play store. These apps customize the way the interface looks and operates, and even streamline animations as you pan between screens.
How to enable a launcher
Once you install an application launcher, you'll have to remember to make it the default home screen. When you go to your home screen, Android will prompt you about which launcher you wish to use, so be sure to select the new launcher you've installed and tap Always, unless you want to be prompted every time you go to the home screen. If you get sick of your new interface, you can always reset your defaults in the settings menu.
