17. STOPPING APPS
Sometimes when you have been using Android™ for a while, it may hold a number of applications
in active memory and slow down. You can stop individual applications or stop all of them to give
more space to working memory. You can also see which applications are preventing the device
from sleeping or which ones are waking it up too often.
18. WIDGETS
Widgets are small applications that run continuously on one of the five home screen panels.
Below are some of the widgets that may already be on your device. To add a
widget, find an empty area on one of the five panels and hold your finger down
there. Select Widgets, and then select the desired one. To delete a widget from
one of the screens, hold down on it and drag it toward the applications tab where
it will change to a trash icon. When the widget is on top of the trash and turns red, let off of it and it will be
deleted (the same is true for any screen shortcut). To get more widgets, go to the AppsLib store where you can find
free and purchasable widgets that add a variety of functions to your ARCHOS.
18.1. GOOGLE SEARCH
A quick way to enter a search term for a Google Internet search.
18.2. MUSIC
A quick method to access your music instead of opening the Music player. There are also
similarly looking widgets for the Gallery (photo viewing) and the Video player.
18.3. ANALOGUE CLOCK
An alternative clock.
18.4. POWER CONTROL
This very useful widget allows you to easily shut on/off modules of the ARCHOS that take up power. You can thus
extend the usable battery charge of your device. From the left to right.
