I was wondering, how do people add the "phone" and "contacts" shortcut to their home menus. For instance, if you check the D-Theme page, you'll see the screenshots show a little "Phone" and "Contacts" shortcuts:

Is the standard firmware able to do this? Because when I click "add shortcut" under the home config screen, it does not let me choose "Phone" or "Contacts" as an option. At first I though it was D-Theme kind of thing, but then after installing a variation of D-Theme, I didn't get any new options.

Another issue:
Is there any way to make the icons sticks to a grid? Like in Windows?

Thanks!

Sorry, I am slow, I just realized that these icons need to be dragged from one of the other home screens. However my question about fit to grid still stands!

add contact? as well you should be able to add phone and other stuff if you don't have it on desktops

This is basic functionality and should work, recardless of what theme you are using.

Try application caller Tweakr, there you can select Snap icons to grid , small,large,huge or no
