On android, move a Icon/shortcut: press and hold the finger on the icon and drag it to where you want either on the same screen in a different spot or to another adjacent screen then lift finger.
To delete an icon/shorcut, do the same as for moving the icon but this time drag it to the 'Trash bin' symbol at bottom line/middle position of the screen: the icon should turn Red and lifting yiour finger will delete it.
It takes a bit of practice but it is quite easy and safe as you can always get the icon back from the application folder.

Hope it helps!

How do I delete an app?

Find the icon for the app you want to delete, and press and hold it for a few seconds. It (and all the other icons on the screen) will start to wobble gently, and a small cross will appear in a grey circle by each. Tap the cross, then confirm you want to delete the app.

Green android men keep appearing on my home screen. How do I stop this from happening?

Every shortcut to a program has an Icon assigned to it. if you notice the android icons have different names. this is normal. From what I can see they look like shortcuts to websites.

My Facebook stopped working on I pad. Everything else works. What do I do?

If the app is crashing on launch delete it by pressing and holding on the app icon on the home screen, in case you didn't already know how to delete apps. They will start shaking, and you can hit the X button on the corner of the app. Don't worry, this will delete NONE of your Facebook data since it is stored online. Next, completely turn off the iPad by pressing and holding the power button. Once it is completely turned on, hold down the power button again until it turns back on with the Apple logo. Go to the App Store, reinstall Facebook, and log into your FB account.

I have n97 from china and i cant remove the shortcut icons on the menu. how can i delete them? i deleted all the items in the shortcut settings but it still appears in the stand by menu.

Hi, there are two desktop backgrounds on the China N97, one has the shortcut icons and the other one is a background without the icons, the shortcut icons on the first cannot be removed to the walk around for it is to press and hold the existing background and the dragging the finger to either the left or right of the screen, this should change the background and the shortcut icons must be gone.
