Now take one icon from the 10th page and drag it over to the 11th page. This will force the last icon to be booted off the page and into the iPhone abyss!

Hope no one minds me reviving an old topic, but I just tested this on the iOS Gold Master, and it WORKS! I now have 12 pages, plus the ability to have each icon on each of those pages be a folder containing 12 apps... I haven't gone past 12 yet, but I assume it will work as before.

OK. Two rules you will live by after you add homes screens this way: 1. You can get whatever apps you want, only do it through your iPod!!! NEVER again get apps thru iTunes. 2. NEVER move apps using iTunes! Move apps ONLY through the iPod!!

Music is not affected. Do what you want with music, videos, etc. either thru iTunes or iPod.

And once you get the procedure down, it takes no time at all to add pages.

Sync will be fine. I make sure to periodically sync my iPod with my iTunes if I buy apps thru the iPod since I want items to be on my computer AND on the iPod.

Wow! 50 screens?! That must have taken a lot of work. What happens when you sync your iPod Touch to your computer? iTunes only displays the first 25 pages. In the previous versions of iTunes, it would wipe out my new pages and only display the first 11, so I stopped using this trick.

I have an iPodTouch 64gb and it is NOT jailbroken and I am up to FIFTY home screens. Make sure the first home screen is full, with VOICEMAIL in the last position. Have spaces on your 2nd Home Screen but no page should be entirely empty, The last page should be full after you move Voice Mail to it. Replace the Voice Maill app you moved on the first home screen with any other app just to fill up the first page.

Before you RESET the iPod (which is NOT the same as turning it off) make sure 1. the first home screen is full; 2. no page is empty; 3.The last page is full, with VOICE MAIL in the last position on the page. 4. Bump the VOICE MAIL app off of the last home screen by moving an app from an earlier page into the slot occupied by VOICE MAIL.

When you're sure everything is as outlined above, RESET.

When you turn it back on, you should see a new home screen added as your SECOND PAGE.

I use a Touch and I never downloaded a new app to get the procedure to work. but ALWAYS rebooted the device, i.e., press and hold the power button on top, wait until the "slide to power off" slider appears, then slide to power off. Then power it back on.

I also found the first page had to be filled and the second page had to have space.

I'm not sure if it will work if you just power off. I thought you had to reboot.

Up to 21 pages, so having enough apps in the library is apparently NOT a factor. But doing it TWICE in order to get one additional page seems to be the norm for me. So what? It's worth it.

Re: How To Display 11+ Pages of iPhone Apps

Melissa — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 18:12:42 -0000

Awesome, thanks! I'm using a Touch and was not successful in getting the new page to load after downloading an app, but it *did* get added when I shut off the device and turned it back on. Woohoo!

Re: How To Display 11+ Pages of iPhone Apps

mrmanfam — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 08:57:14 -0000

THAT worked! I'm up to 18 pages! I seem to be frozen there although I think it has to do with the distribution of my apps on my home screens right now. I wonder if you need to have enough apps in your "library" to support an extra home screen page or else it won't make one?

I found I had to follow the procedure TWICE in order to get each additional page.

Something to add that might help you, this sometimes does not work if your second page is full, so make sure it has at least one open spot.

Then make sure that your last page has no open spots with the voicemail app being the last one there, and drag an app from another page between the Voice Memos and the one before it, and hold it there until the Voice Memos app goes away. Is this what you did? If so, it should work.

It could be that it was fixed in the most recent software update. That would be sad. I will get it, test this, and get back to you about it.

I use an iPod Touch 64gb and am only able to get a 12th page. When I try to get a thirteenth (ALWAYS using VOICE MEMO in he last position), it seems VOICE MEMO swaps positions with the app I use to push VOICE MEMO off the page.

Just to clarify too, I am using an non jailbroken iPod touch, and it now has twenty-two pages, most of them full of apps. Go Pandora Box!

XilOo27 is the KING GURU! Excellent instructions & it works = I now have 21 screens! I can't believe it! AWESOME!! I could keep making more but I'm pooped, so 21 is enough for now (I still have to organize what I want on those pages!! :)

I wish I had known this MONTHS ago when I first maxed out my 11 pages & since then it's been a real brainwracker again & again trying to decide which apps or icons to delete!!

Why the hay doesn't apple share this gem up front?? Do they not even know this is possible? If they do know but haven't made it publicly known, then they are jerks.

Now... my only "wonder" is what will happen next time I sync? I have iPhone 3Gs, 32gig, OS 3.1.2.

In XILO27's instructions, he/said in Step 5 you could do either /or 5a or 5b. I did BOTH: turned off iPhone, then turn it back on, then go to App Store on iPhone & download any freebie app, & poof!! Another new page! :)

Then I would delete that freebie app & for every new process (to create more new pages), I would download the same freebie app.

Just be sure to keep your 1st page FULL & last page FULL.
After new page created, move the Voice App back to the last spot on last page, & start over!
(move another app or icon on the 1st page to replace the Voice App to have 1st page FULL before you start the process again!)

What's the max number of pages anyone has created

After lots of testing, I've found exactly what you need to do (and don't need to do).
1.Completely fill up the first page, and have enough apps to get to the eleventh page. You do not need to completely fill up every page.

2.Fill up the eleventh page, with the last app on the eleventh page being the Voice Memos app. I've tested the App Store, Settings, and Stocks apps, and none of them worked.

3.Move another app from a different page (But don't take one from the first page or take one from any page that only has one app) on to the eleventh page. This will move the Voice Memos app off the last page.

4.After you do this ONLY PRESS THE HOME BUTTON ONCE to make it so you are no longer moving apps. If you press the home button again to get back the the first screen, sometimes the Voice Memos app will appear and go the the nearest open spot, and then you have to start all over again. It is okay, however, to press it if you are in an app and want to exit, just only press it once.

5.You can do one of two things to add your new page:
A: Power off the iPod by holding down the power button, and sliding to power off. Then, turn back on your iPod,and wait for it to boot up.
B: Download any app, then wait until it is finished downloading. The next step will not happen until it is completely done downloading.

6.On the first page, the Voice Memos app should be where the last app on that page originally was. If you go to your second page, it should only have one app, this app being the one that was forced off the first page by the Voice Memos app. This second page is your new page. If you look at your third page, it is your old second page. What basically happened is that a new page was forced in between your first and second page.

7. You may now press the home button as many times as you want

8. You can repeat this process with your last page as many times as you want, until you have the desired number of pages

*It is okay to sync your iPod to the computer. There is one problem that you may run in to, though. If you click on your iPod info, then click on applications, you will only see your first eleven pages on the thing on the side. DO NOT USE THIS TO ARRANGE YOUR APPS. If you move any apps with this, when you sync your iPod or press "Apply", all your extra pages will go away and all the apps on them will fill up any empty space that you have. Any extra apps will not be deleted, but the only way to access them is by using the search feature, or creating extra screens for them to fill up.

*As far as I can see, there is no limit to pages. Once you get twenty pages, though, the little bubbles that represent each page at the bottom of your screen will start going off the edge. You can still get to all your pages, you just cant see their circle thing representing them.

I had no luck with this trick. But a new app from Cydia "Overboard" will not only give you all your apps on 1 screen, similar to Orbit, but it will let you overflow your apps beyond 11. Of course it is only for jailbroken phones, so if yours isn't, this app should convince you.

After reading the comments below, it appears people are getting the extra pages by accident. There is NO LIMIT to the number of pages you can add to your iphone, however, you must move the standard "voice memo" app to the last page in polition 16 bottom right corner. NO other standard apps on the first page will work (it MUST be the "voice memo" app). This is the ONLY standard app from the first page that you need to move. You don't need 2, 3 or more of them on the last page.

Also, the best way to push the "voice memo" app off the last page is as follows: Drag an app from page 10 while keeping your finger on the app. Position the app you're dragging over the "voice memo" app on page 11 located in position 16 and slowly drag the app to the left of position 15 app and the "voice memo" app will be pushed off page 11 to the overflow area.

Tried projeffa's method above and after a few tries, got the twelve screens. My apps, however, appeared to be bricked. The default iphone apps would work, but nothing else. After a few reboots with no success, I connected with I tunes and re-synced. Back to 11 screens. Not happy. Running 3.1.2
