The Basics

Changing an icon into a widget

Some application icons can be changed into a convenient widget to use on
your Home screen.

1. Touch and hold an app icon on the Home screen, then release it.

 A blue frame appears around the icon if it can be resized and changed

into a widget (if it can’t, only the Edit icon is displayed).

2. Drag the corners of the frame to make it larger and change it into a

widget.

 Touch and hold the widget, then release it again to change its size if

necessary.

 You can also change it back into a normal icon by dragging the corners

of the resizing frame back in.

Moving items to other Home screen canvases

You can place items on any of the Home screen canvases.

 Drag Touch and hold, then drag the item to the left or right edge of the

screen to advance to the other screen canvases before lifting your finger.

 Tilt Touch and hold an item, then tilt the device to move it to one of the

Home screen canvases in that direction, then lift your finger.

NOTE

To be able to use the Tilt method, the Move Home screen items checkbox needs to be
checkmarked. From the Home screen, tap (or press) the Menu Key

> Settings >

Gestures > Move Home screen items checkbox.

Working with Menus

There are two kinds of Android menus: Options menus and Context menus.

Options menus

Options menus contain tools that apply to the activities of the current
screen or application, not to any specific item on the screen. To open the
available Options menu, tap (or press) the Menu Key

. Not all

applications have Options menus; if you tap (or press) the Menu Key

on a screen that has no Options menu, nothing will happen.
