Access applications
The Launcher, which you open from the Home screen, holds icons for all of the
applications on your phone, including any applications that you downloaded and
installed from Android Market or other sources. When you open an application,
the other applications you’ve been using don’t stop; they keep on running:
playing music, rendering web pages, and so on. You can quickly switch among
our applications, to work with several at once. The Android operating system
and applications work together to ensure that applications you aren’t using don’t
consume resources unnecessarily, stopping and starting them as needed. For
this reason, there’s no need or facility for quitting applications.
To open and close the Launcher
On the Home screen, touch the Launcher icon to open it. If you have more
applications than can fit on the Launcher in one view, you can slide the
Launcher up or down to view more.
You can add an application icon to the Home screen by touching & holding it on
the Launcher until it vibrates and then dragging it to a location on the Home
screen. Touch the Home icon on the Launcher or the Home button to close the
Launcher. The Launcher closes automatically if you touch an icon to open its
application or if you move an icon from the Launcher to the Home screen.
