Abstract
Icons displayed on a home screen may be intelligently adapted. A sensor output is received indicating a measure of vibration of a mobile device. A database is queried for the measure of the vibration. The database stores different iconic arrangements associated with different measures of the vibration. One of the iconic arrangements is retrieved that is associated with the measure of the vibration. The icons on the home screen of the mobile device are arranged according to the one of the arrangements. The vibration experienced by the mobile device thus determines how the icons are arranged on the home screen.
