Adding and Removing Primary Shortcuts

You can change any of your primary shortcuts with the exception of the Apps shortcut. The
primary shortcuts are the bottom row of app shortcuts that remain static on all home screens (by
default Phone, Contacts, Messaging, Internet, and Apps).
Note: Before replacing a primary shortcut, you must first add the replacement shortcut to the
Home Screen. For more information, see
1. Press to display the Home screen.
2. Touch and hold the primary shortcut you want to replace and then drag it to an empty
space on any Home screen.
3. Touch and hold a new shortcut on the Home screen, and then drag it to the empty space
in the row of primary shortcuts.

Adding and Removing Widgets

Widgets are self-contained applications that reside either in your Widgets tab or on the main or
extended Home screens. Unlike a shortcut, the Widget appears as an onscreen application.
Widgets can include Contacts shortcuts, bookmarks, Facebook status windows, Gmail and
email accounts, and many other types of apps.
Adding a Widget
1. Press to display the Home screen.
2. Touch and hold an empty area of the Home screen, and then choose Apps and
widgets > Widgets.
3. Touch and a widget, and then drag it to a Home screen. Release the widget to lock it on
the screen.
Removing a Widget
1. Press to display the Home screen.
2. Touch and hold the desired widget, and then drag it to the Remove icon. As you drop the
widget into the Trash, both items turn red.
Note: This action does not delete the widget, it simply removes it from the current screen

Extended Home Screens

In addition to the main home screen, your phone has six extended home screens to provide
more space for adding icons, widgets, and more. Touch and hold the icon or widget and then
drag across the screen to move from the main screen to an extended screen.
There are six extended screens in addition to the main Home screen.
