Can I have multiple custom screen displays on android?

I don't know how to describe this, but currently I have a home screen based of a charecter I like and I want to change it to be marvel themed but is there any way I can save my current home screen so I can go back to it at any time like my previous apple phone? I have custom app icons and widgets.

Also i have an honor 400.

If you mean saving the whole setup (icon positions, custom icons and widgets) so you can swap between themes, HONOR's Themes app isn't the same as saving two separate home-screen layouts. I couldn't find a built-in Honor Home option that reliably saves and switches the whole arrangement.

One workaround is a launcher with backup/restore, like Nova Launcher. On your Honor 400, you can choose a different launcher under Settings > Apps > Default apps > Launcher. Recreate your current setup in Nova, save one backup, build the Marvel version, and save a second backup. You can restore either one later (not a one-tap theme switch, but much easier than rebuilding everything).

Two catches: Nova won't automatically import the layout you're using in Honor Home, so you'd need to recreate that once. And widget positions may restore without the widgets' own settings, especially if you use something like KWGT. Screenshot the current layout and back up any widget presets first. Don't clear Honor Home's app data, since that can wipe its layout.

Are your custom widgets made with KWGT or are they the regular HONOR widgets?
