Hi Anita, If you restored from a backup and didn't get your home screen layout back you can try to just restore again. I had this happen once after an upgrade and the second restore of my backup fixed it.

Hello Sieghard. Thank you for the detailed information on setting up a new 5S. I had followed those same steps when I did my phone, however, my apps appeared scattered all over the phone. None of my folders came over with the apps inside them. Rather than spending hours reorganizing all the apps and putting them back into folders, is there any way to re-sync the iPhone to get back what I had? Regards, Anita also known as "Gadget Girl".
