USE & CHANGE YOUR HOME SCREEN
On your home screen, shortcuts are icons that open your favorite apps, Web bookmarks,
music playlists, and more.
Widgets show you the date, updates, and more. The Calendar
widget is an example of a scrollable widget—you can scroll through your calendar within the
widget itself, on the home page, without opening the calendar app. The Books widget is an
example of a stacked widget—you can flick through your content within the widget itself, on
the home screen, without opening the Books app.
The home screen includes a total of five customizable panels. Flick left and right to see more
panels. To customize the panels, touch to open a sleek 3D customization page. From this
single location, you can add widgets, app shortcuts, wallpapers, and more, to all five panels.

reminder, or other notification. Or, touch the digital time display to open the entire

individual icon to see the notification.
