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 Creating Shortcuts.

Adding and Removing Widgets

Widgets are self-contained applications that reside either in your Widgets tab or on the main or

Widgets can include Contacts shortcuts, bookmarks, Facebook status windows, Gmail and email
accounts, and many other types of apps.
