Chapter
Organize Your Home
Screen: Icons and
Widgets
In this chapter, we’ll look at ways to customize your Home screen. This way you’re not
stuck with a boring collection of apps, and you’re not stuck using the screen arrangement
that your DROID came with. You can customize your phone to match your personality and
the way you use the device by adding and rearranging icons and widgets.
Home Screen, Sweet Home Screen
Icons on your Home screen are just shortcuts to the
actual apps, so don’t worry about deleting them or
moving them around. You’re not actually deleting the
apps. Think of your Home screen as one long screen that
can’t be displayed all at once. Alternatively, you can think
of it as a series of several pages of screens. The Home
screen, shown to the right, is where you can store your
favorite apps or display your favorite wallpaper. With your
phone in Portrait mode, swipe your finger sideways to
flip between the pages of your Home screen.
How you organize your Home screens is entirely up to
you. A method we’ve found useful is to create a theme for
every page. One page might be dedicated to social
networking apps, while another page might be dedicated
to email and office productivity. A third page might be
dedicated to games, restaurants, and entertainment tools.
