Nexus 7 - disable "** more room on this Home screen" message
http://lh4.ggpht.com/-g04wnfYnVA4/UA_b6FnUA5I/AAAAAAAAC8E/VOz8uKSBSIg/**MoreRoom_thumb%25255B1%25255D.png?imgmax=800 (http://lh6.ggpht.com/-in8SqPJiDiw/UA_b2cldD9I/AAAAAAAAC78/QNLFN_n95Nw/s1600-h/**MoreRoom%25255B3%25255D.png)
When you add a new app to your Nexus 7 from the Google Play store, you may get the message "** more room on this Home screen" - even though there's actually lots of room for new icons on your Nexus 7's home screen! And, it still adds a shortcut icon for the new app to your home screen anyway(though you may have to swipe sideways to find the home screen that contains it).
This seems (http://forums.androidcentral.com/sprint-epic-4g/167950-got-goofy-question.html) to be an issue with Google Play. Unfortunately I can't find an ideal solution. There are 2 workarounds:
Live with it! Keep ig**ring the message. (Which is what I've ended up doing). Or,
You can get rid of the message, but this means that when you install a new app from Google Play, it won't add an icon for it to your home screen. Which might be OK for some…
Here's how to stop "** more room on this home screen" from appearing when you add apps:
Open Google Play by tapping its icon (outlined in red below)

Open its menu (3 vertical dots, top right).
Choose Settings.
Finally, UNtick "Auto-add widgets", like so:

Someone has posted (http://androidforums.com/android-applications/579117-whenever-installing-app-i-get-**-more-room-home-screen.html#post4634689) that after they unticked that setting and then re-ticked it, it prevented the "** more room on this home screen" message from recurring. However, that didn't work for me - after re-enabling that again, the irritating message reappeared. So I'm just living with it.
