In the menu that opens, touch the tab for the category of item you want to add.

Widgets: are miniature apps. They are described in detail in“Working with widgets”on page 28.

App shortcuts: are app icons you can place on your Home screens, so you can touch them to open those apps without opening the Apps screen first.

Wallpaper: are images from Gallery (pictures you shot with Camera, synced from Picasa, and so on), still images included with the system, and live wallpapers (such as a map that centers on your location or an animated scene). They take the place of the default background to your Home screens. See“Change Home screen wallpaper”on page 27.

More: includes shortcuts to Browser bookmarks, to directions in Maps, and an assortment of other useful items.

If there are more items in the category than can fit on one screen, outlines of additional items appear to the left or right. You can slide the screen left or right to see the additional items.

Drag an item onto the Home screen where you want to add it.

If you pause before lifting your finger, the Home screen enlarges so you can place the item where you want it. Otherwise, it gets placed in the first available spot.

Some items prompt you for more information before they are added to a Home screen. For example, bookmarks prompt you to pick the Browser bookmark you want to add, Contacts shortcuts prompt you to pick the contact you want, and so on.

When the item is where you want it, lift your finger.
