CUSTOMIZATION
Add stuff to your Home screen
You can add shortcuts to applications or contacts, wid-
gets, folders, browser bookmarks, and a whole ton of
stuff to your Home screen panels (yes, all of them).
Touch and hold anywhere on your Home screen, and
there are your choices!
Bonus Tip: Decided you don't want to add anything to
your Home screen but that weird 'Add to Home screen'
window is still there? Press
screens and menus in your phone - you can always use
it to move backward.
Delete stuff from your Home screen
Want to get rid of something on your Home screen?
Drag it into the handy trash can. Just touch and hold the
shortcut/widget/folder you want to remove from your
Home screen, and the arrow at the bottom of the screen
turns into a trash can. Drag the item over the trash can
and let go. While it's no longer cluttering your home
screen, it has not been deleted from your phone (except
for folders). If you change your mind, you can add a wid-
get or shortcut to your Home screen again or drag an
app from the main menu back onto your Home screen.
Change the wallpaper on your Home
screen
Need a change of scenery? Change your wallpaper
whenever you like. You can select from preloaded wall-
papers, or use pictures of your own.

Bonus Tip: You can use custom ringtones for each
contact, too! Just open the contact and then press
Edit contact and scroll down to Ringtone.
Rename a Home screen folder
To rename a folder on the Home screen, tap the folder
to open it, then touch and hold the title bar at the top.

the Home screen, just tap and drag it into the garbage
can that appears at the bottom of the screen.
Shhh...turn off keyboard and screen se-
lection sounds

want your touchscreen taps heard, here's how to set
