Adding Icons to your homescreen with CocoPPa

I didn't do a blog post on this before since no one had asked me how to do it, but since I published the other two posts, I've had several questions on how to add the icons for normal apps to your homescreen.  So here are the directions.

1.

 You want to pick out the icon that you like and click on it.  It will take you to a screen that looks a lot like the the one above.  Click "Set up link". 

2.

 You will want to click on the part that says "App Search"  

3. 

Next you can scroll through the apps or do a search.  Once you find your app, then click on it.  

4. 

Double check that you have the right app and the correct name for that app.  Once you've done all of that click "ok".

5.

The screen will dim and this blue box will pop up asking you if it's ok if you are redirected to Safari.  Click "yes".  You will be directed to Safari, and it can take a little bit so be patient

6. 

The Safari page that opens will look a lot like this one. At the bottom of the screen there is a little box with like an arrow pointing out of it, click on that. 

7. 

Next, you will have to click on the middle button that says "Add to Home Screen" under it.  

8. 

Double check everything AGAIN.  If everything is correct, click "Add".  

9. 

Now you will notice that the icon has been added to your homescreen, and the other App icon is still there.  You have to keep the old app icon so that the new icon will work. I have all of mine in folders.  

If there are any questions, please feel free to contact me.  My screen name on CocoPPa is mrsmarohn if you want to follow me or download any of my icons or wallpapers.
