The Applications screen closes automatically when you tap an icon to open its application.
Dragging an icon onto your Home screen also closes the Applications screen automatically.
You can customize your Home screen with shortcuts to the applications you use most
often. Applications are located on the Applications screen, but you can add an application
shortcut to your Home screen for faster access. No matter where the icon is, on the
Applications screen or your Home screen, just touch it to open and use it. See
for more information.
