Changing an icon into a widget
Some application icons can be changed into a convenient widget to use on your Home screen.
Touch and hold an app icon on the Home screen, then release it.
A blue frame appears around the icon if it can be resized and changed into a widget (if it can’t, only the Edit icon is displayed).
Drag the corners of the frame to make it larger and change it into a widget.
Touch and hold the widget, then release it again to change its size if necessary.
You can also change it back into a normal icon by dragging the corners of the resizing frame back in.
Moving items to other Home screen canvases
You can place items on any of the Home screen canvases.
Drag Touch and hold, then drag the item to the left or right edge of the screen to advance to the other screen canvases before lifting your finger.
Tilt Touch and hold an item, then tilt the device to move it to one of the Home screen canvases in that direction, then lift your finger.
To be able to use the Tilt method, the Move
Home screen items checkbox needs to be checkmarked. From
the Home screen, tap (or press) the Menu Key 
> Settings > Gestures > Move Home screen
items checkbox.
