Personalizing

Making your phone truly yours

Make your phone look and sound just the way you want it. Personalize your phone with a different wallpaper, ringtone, and notification sound for events such as incoming text, email, calendar reminders, and more.

Your phone’s Home screen is highly customizable and extends beyond the screen width, giving you plenty of space to add the information that matters most in your daily life and phone features that make communication quicker and easier. You have up to five screens that extend to the left and right sides of your display as your Home screen, on which you can add elements such as widgets, program icons, shortcuts to information, and more.

See "Home screen" in the Basics chapter to learn how to add 2 additional screens.
