Rearrange your home screens

Long-press on any icon or widget on your homescreen and you can move it around,
and other icons and widgets will shift out of the way to fit it in. Bigger widgets can
also be resized by long-pressing and releasing them, and then dragging the circles
that appear on the edges. It's actually quite fun and satisfying. We just spent three
hours doing nothing but this.
