Ah yes, I like the idea of multiple home screens configured for different needs. How does performance change when you have 5 (or more) home screens with lots of widgets, I've got a oneplus 2 which has pretty high specs processor and ram wise but I don't really know how these specs translate in to real world use.

Since I've had Androids I have never, ever noticed any difference in performance whether I've had 1 homescreen or 7, lot's of widgets or none. I have always gone for the upper end of the spectrum re specs when purchasing phones though so I guess results may be different on budget handsets, which a 1+2 most definitely isn't so I'd imagine you can go as crazy as you want

Gotcha
Well I have 5 homescreens
Main screen has a Flipboard (news aggregation app) widget that shows teaser pages for articles, set to refresh once an hour, it also has controls to manually refersh as well as to scroll through stories 1 by 1
Left 1 has my most used apps, guitar tuner, tfl planner, banking and google maps
Left 2 has a Gmail widget for quickly checking emails (any email address can be added not just gmail)
Right 1 has a bbc weather widget with the days forecast and then a 5 day underneath
Right 2 has a whole page google Keep widget for note taking, list making, taking photos that I need quick access to that also syncs with my desktop version of keep
Underneath all of this I have the WP clock live wallpaper that displays time/date/battery status so I can see them at all times
Currently trialling Lastpass as a password manager, am liking it so far
