Since I am using a Samsung Galaxy S4 for this demonstration and its running on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean it is going to allow me to, with my finger still presses down, drag my application to any part of my phones main screen that I would like. Now that I see my Music app I am going to press down and hold on it. Since I am looking for the Music app I need to scroll over one more page by dragging on my touch screen from right to left. Remember that your applications are listed alphabetically. Then locate the application that you would like to access from the Home screen.
