Chapter 7

Personalizing Your Home Screen

There’s a lot you can do with a tablet without leaving the Home screen. In Chapter 2: “Getting Started,” you learned a little about the Android tablet’s Home screen. In this chapter, you’ll learn how to personalize the Home screen with interactive widgets, app icons, and live wallpapers.

NOTE: This book focuses on Honeycomb features. If your tablet runs an earlier version of Android, your options might not look the same. You can still add app icons and widgets and change your wallpapers, but you won’t be able to do so with Honeycomb’s holographic interface.
