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.

2. Touch 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 you want to add.

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

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 and Weather
widget, and more. Note that more widgets can also be found on Android
Market

.

Shortcuts Add shortcuts to applications, a bookmarked web page, a
favorite contact, a destination in Maps, a Gmail label, a music playlist, and
more. The shortcuts available depend on the applications you have installed.

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.

To move an item on the Home screen

1. Touch and hold the item.

2. Drag the item to a new location on the screen. Pause at the left or right edge

of the screen to drag the item onto the next available Home screen pane.

3. When the item is where you want it, lift your finger.
