Just like any Android device, Samsung Galaxy S4 is allowed to be customisation for the home screen and apps menu. But the stock launcher limits you with certain actions only to personalise your device. Here are 7 tips suggested to change how your device looks and make it stand out from other Galaxy S4 devices.

1. Accessing Your Home Screen
Aside from using your fingers to swipe across the home screens, you can also tap the dots right above the icon to select between home screen panels. Pinch in to view all home screens and choose either to select a screen or hold down to modify them.

2. Wallpaper Set Up
You can change the wallpaper of your Galaxy S4 by simply press and holding down on a free area of the home screen. Choose between "Home", "Lock screen", or "Home and lock screen" wallpaper. Select among the type of wallpaper of you desire or grab something from a launcher app.

3. Customising Home Screen

Add icons to the home screen by press and holding down desired apps from the app menu and select widgets as well on the widgets tab. You can resize widgets on the home screen depending on how the system allows it. Create a folder to organise several app icons on the home screen.

4. Get Some Launchers
If you want to customise your home screen with specific gestures and different transitions. Go to the Play Store and look for famous launchers such as Go Launcher EX, Nova Launcher, Apex Launcher or Atom Launcher.

5. App Substitute
Some applications in Galaxy S4 can be substituted using third-party applications from Google Play Store. Download other SMS apps, contact apps, dialler apps, themes, wallpapers and more. These applications do not only have the basic function but also have special features for adjustments and personalisation that the default apps on your Galaxy S4 don't provide.

6. Social Sites All-in-One
Apps of social sites can be bothersome if you have to open them one by one just to constantly view the updates posted by your friends and love ones. But with the use of "All-in-One" social apps, you can simply sync your accounts in one place to view everything on the same screen. Flipboard and Taptu are some of the apps which can sync not only social sites but all trending topics, news and blogs.

7. Root Access
Eventually, Galaxy S4 will become one of the many Samsung devices possible to gain root access. If you decide to get "full administrative" privileges on your Galaxy S4, you're going to need a rooting kit for you to access it. Once your Galaxy S4 is rooted, you can control the CPU, RAM; install ROMs and other stuff normally forbidden by a locked device.
