You can flick the home screen left and right to see more panels. You'll have plenty of room for
adding shortcuts, widgets, and more.
Widgets
A widget is small app on the home screen that typically displays information such as weather or
news. You can add a widget, such as a clock, music player, or a calendar that shows upcoming
appointments. To open a widget, touch it.
Add
To add a widget, touch an empty spot on the home screen. (You can also touch Menu
>
Widgets
>
). If your home screen is full, you won't see the add option. You'll need to move or
delete widgets or shortcuts to make room.
You can change the size of some widgets. Just touch and hold the widget. When the widget's
outline turns white, drag one of the corners to make it the size you want.
Note:
If you install apps from Android Market™ that have widgets, touch and hold the home
screen, then select a widget to add it to the home screen.
