The Basics

Customizing the Home Screen

You can personalize your Home screen by adding application icons,
shortcuts, widgets, and other items to any Home screen pane. You can
also change the wallpaper.

To add an item to the Home screen

1 Go to the Home screen pane where you want to add the item. For

an introduction to working with the Home screen, see “Getting to
Know the Home Screen” on page 33.

2 Press the Menu Key

and touch Add.

Or, just touch and hold an empty spot on the Home screen pane.

NOTE

If there is no available space on a particular Home screen pane, Add will not

be available; you must delete or remove an item before you can add another

item. In this case, you have the option of switching to another Home screen

pane.

3 In the menu that opens, touch the type of item to add.

You can add the following types of items to the Home screen:

Shortcuts Add shortcuts to applications, a bookmarked webpage, a
favorite contact, a destination in Google Maps, a Gmail label, a music
playlist, and more. The shortcuts available depend on the applications
you have installed.
Widgets Add any of a variety of widget applications to your Home
screen, including a clock, a music player, a picture frame, Google
search bar, a power manager, a calendar of upcoming appointments,
a News and Weather widget, and more. Note that more widgets can
also be found on Android Market

.

Folders Add a folder where you can organize other Home screen
shortcuts and icons, or folders that contain all your contacts, contacts
with phone numbers, or starred contacts. Your folders’ contents are
kept up to date automatically. For information on how to rename a
folder, go to page 56.
