Putting an App on the Home Screen or Panes
THERE MAY BE AN app you use frequently, and so you get tired of the constant dance of having to open the Applications Tray, scroll down to the app’s icon, and then tap it. There’s a much easier way: You can put its icon right on your Home screen or any pane, so it’s always there at your command:
On the Home screen or pane, press your finger where you want the icon to be, and hold your finger there.
At the bottom of the screen that appears, select Shortcut→Applications.
A list of apps appears. Scroll through the list and find the app you want to add, and then tap its icon.
The icon is added to the Home screen or pane.
What if you want to delete the icon but still keep the app? Put your finger on the app and hold it there until a Trash can appears at the bottom of the screen. Drag the icon to the Trash. The icon disappears, but the app remains, and is accessible from the Apps Tray.
