The Basics 31

Customizing the Applications screen

The items on the Applications screen are listed alphabetically within each application category. You can customize the Applications screen by moving the position of applications so that you don’t have to scroll the screen up to access the applications you use most often. You can also add additional categories to the screen to organize your files.

Moving application positions

1.From the Home screen, touch the Applications Key .

2.Touch the Menu Key > Manage app.

3.Touch and hold the application icon and drag it to the position you want, then lift your finger. Application icons to the right of the position shift accordingly.

Adding a category (if Layout is set to Category)

1.From the Home screen, touch the Applications Key .

2.Touch the Menu Key > Manage category > Add.

3.Enter the category name, then touch Save.

Opening and Switching Applications

Multi-tasking is easy with AndroidTM because open applications keep running even when you open another application. There’s no need to quit an application before opening another. You can use and switch among several open applications. Android manages each application, stopping and starting them as needed, to ensure that idle applications don’t consume resources unnecessarily.

Opening an application

Open an application simply by touching its icon on the screen.

TIP! You can customize your Home screen with the application icons you use most often. Applications are located on the Applications screen, but you can copy any application icon 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.
