How retrieve from trash, or recreate, phone favorites on home screen?

While playing around with my new RAZR, I accidentally dragged the phone favorites bar (which shows 4 favorite phone contacts on the main home screen) to the trash. Not sure what you call it - is it a widget? If so, which one? I know how to "Add to Home" by holding a spot on the home screen, but I can't figure out what to select then. Alternatively, is it possible to retrieve things from trash? I know how to make the trash can appear by pressing and holding an icon, but when you let go, the trash can goes off the screen again and you can't select it or open it.

Gotta get to the new-user class soon - - Thanks for the help!

Don't know of any way to retrieve things from a trash (if it exists, as such) but you can add what you deleted. It is a widget, and called Favorites Contact.

Wow, thanks!  I thought, based on the icon displayed, I would get yet another shortcut to ALL my contacts.  Thanks again.

Glad it helped. Smiley Happy

Btw, for anyone else who runs across this thread, if you are not using the stock launcher (to create & manage your home screens), but have installed something like GO Launcher EX or ADW Launcher, the Favorites Widget will not be available.  It only works with the stock launcher.

Are you referring to When you Take a Widget off one of your Main Screens an you want it Back ?  To get a Widget Back on your Screen go to the screen of Choice take your finger and long press on the Screen till you see this Below:

1. Widgets

2.ShortCuts

3.Folders

4.Wallpapers

Then tap on { Widget } if you want a Widget a New one or one you Removed or if you want a Shot cut Tap on that an you can put it back on the screen..

I Forgot to Mention an you have possibly have done this to Take a Widget off Take your finger an put it on the Widget an with your finger pull it up to the Top an let it go into the Trash can..
