About your home screen
You see the home screen when you turn on and unlock your phone or touch .
You can add more pages to the right as needed. To add a page, drag an app shortcut or widget to the edge of an
existing page and place it on the new page.
Swipe right or left to move between pages.
Here are the parts of your home screen:
1. Status bar: Displays the time and icons that tell you about your phone's battery and network connections.
Swipe down to see your notifications and quick settings.
2. Widget: You can add widgets to your home screen for quick access to information or frequent tasks.
3. Action bar: Swipe in to open shortcuts and swipe up/down to move between apps and screens. You can
customize it.
4. Shortcut: You can add shortcuts to open apps or web pages you use frequently.
5.
App list: Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to see the list of all your apps.
6. Favorites tray: Provides one touch access to your most-used apps from any home screen page. You can
customize which apps appear here.
7.
Navigation bar: Use gestures to move between apps and screens. You can replace the bar with the
navigation icons instead.
8. Folder: Add folders to organize app shortcuts.
If you want an entirely new look and feel for your home screen, you can use a different launcher. For a less drastic
renovation, just change the wallpaper.
