The Basics
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 Android
TM
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.
