Personalizing the Home screen

You may personalize your Home screen by adding or removing application shortcuts or widgets, and by changing the wallpaper.

To turn predictive text on or off with the Google keyboard, tap the Gear icon, and then Google keyboard settings. Tap Auto correction or Show correction suggestions and select one of the options.

Editing text

You can select and edit text in certain APPs, such as text you have entered in a text field. Selected text can be cut or copied and later pasted within the same application, or to a different application.

Note

Certain APPs may not support text selection, or only support it in certain areas. Other APPs may offer specialized commands to select text.

Selecting text

Select the text that you want to cut, copy, delete, or replace:

1. Tap the text you want to select. If you can select this text, a cursor is inserted below the text.
2. Tap and hold the text or word you want to select. The selected text is highlighted, with a tab at each end of the selection.

2. If the cursor is not in the desired position, simply drag it to the correct position.
3. Modify the text by typing or deleting text or tapping the PASTE button.
