use a paper clip. 

the battery self-discharged, or the previous owner left it on and it
drained in a couple of days.

nonsense.

the user puts apps wherever they want and they stays there.

what you call a single desktop is counterproductive. multiple
homescreens are very useful.

your homescreen is all folders.

you know absolutely *nothing* about usability and insist on doing
