Creating Shortcuts
Unlike Home screen Widgets, which only launch an
application, shortcuts activate a feature, action, or launch
an application.
To move a shortcut from one screen to another:
1. Delete the shortcut from the current screen on which it
is located.
2. Navigate to a new screen, and re-add the shortcut.
Adding a Shortcut from the Apps Menu
1. Press Home to activate the main Home screen.
2. Navigate to the desired Home Page.
3. Touch Apps to display your current applications.
4. Scroll through the list and locate your desired
application.
5. Touch and hold the application icon. This creates an
immediate shortcut of the selected icon and closes the
Apps tab.
6. While still holding the on-screen icon, position it on the
current page. Once complete, release the screen to
lock the new shortcut into its new position on the
current screen.
