If youâre the âtech guyâ (or girl!) in your family, you know what itâs like to deal with a constant barrage of questions every single time your tech challenged family members get a new gadget. While we canât really help you simplify everything in their lives, we can tell you how to simplify their LG G5 with LGâs âEasyHomeâ launcher. Hereâs how to enable it.
Like so many other things with Android, the first thing youâll need to do is jump into the Settings menu. You can get here by pulling down the notification shade and tapping on the cog icon in the upper right corner.
If youâre using âTab view,â scroll over to the Display tab. If youâre using the much more logical âList view,â just scroll down to the Device section. Regardless of which Settings format youâre using, the option youâre looking for is the same: Home Screen.
In this menu, tap on the âSelect Homeâ option, which will then show all the launchers currently installed on the device. If no additional launchers have been installed on the device, there should only be a couple of options here. Go ahead and tap the âEasyHomeâ option.
This will immediately increase the system font size and put oversized icons on the home screens, along with a simple weather and time widget. The app drawer is still present using the icon in the bottom right corner, App shortcuts can easily be replaced by long-pressing them, and more shortcuts can be added on the secondary screen. See? Easy.
