CHAPTER 6: Organize Your Home Screen: Icons and Widgets
Live wallpapers are essentially small apps running in the background, which means
they can occasionally crash or cause issues with other running apps. If you find your
phone crashing frequently or losing battery power rapidly, try switching to a different
wallpaper.

Media Gallery

You might want to use a photo you took on your DROID as your wallpaper; this is easy
to do, and it falls into the Media Gallery wallpaper category. Keep in mind that you can
only use a portion of the photo, and the entire photo will not display at once. You might
also notice that the portion of the image you see is actually thinner than your Home
screens. As you scroll between screens, the Home screen wallpaper will appear to
move more slowly than the foreground images. Follow these steps to display a photo
you took with your DROID as the wallpaper on your Home screen:
1. Long press the Home screen.
2. Tap Wallpapers.
3. Tap Media gallery (DROID 2/X) or tap Gallery (DROID).
4. Choose a photo you want to use.
5. Select an area of the photo to use. By default, the photo starts with a small,
central crop. You can drag the red frame edges until you've selected the portion
of the photo you want to use.
6. Tap Save.
