Adding Widgets to Your Home Screens
Some applications that you install come with widgets that you can place on your Home screens. These widgets normally display real-time information, such as stocks, weather, time, and Facebook feeds. Your Galaxy Note II also comes preinstalled with some widgets. Here is how to add and manage widgets.
