Nokia Lumia: customize your phone screen

With Nokia Lumia you have a lot of freedom to design your mobile phone screen. We show you how to adapt it optimally.

Customize your phone screen on Nokia Lumia

The tiles on the Nokia Lumia can be arranged individually according to your own taste. We'll show you exactly how it works.

• After setting up the Lumias, some apps are already on the phone screen. You add newly installed apps by swiping right and holding the app for a few seconds. Now click "On Home" to link it to the phone screen.
• Hold down a tile for a few seconds. Now you can move the tile or change its size by pressing the arrow in the bottom right corner. There are a total of three tile sizes. However, the largest size is not supported by all apps.
• Under Windows Phone 8.1, another - third - row of tiles can be added to Lumias without a Full HD display. On smartphones with a Full HD display, this is always active and cannot be deactivated.
• You activate the third row of tiles by opening the settings and selecting "Home + Design". Here you activate the item "Show more tiles". This activates the further row of tiles.
• Furthermore, set the design color or the background color under "Home + Design". In Windows Phone 8.1 you can also set your own photo as the start background. This replaces the design color. To do this, click on "Select photo". Select the photo, position it and confirm your selection.
