This is a cool screen, but my phone (Audiovox 5600) won't display the home screen correctly (see attached screenshot). It looks the same using both the normal & non-orange versions. Can you help me with this? Thanks.

Hi welcome to the forum
Unfortunately for you this screen is for QVGA devices (i.e the screen size is 240x320) and your 5600 has a smaller screen. And to add to that I do not have a similar device to yours to make a homescreen. I could attempt in making a homescreen for your phone but it would be a lot simpler (i.e only include time/date/profile/messages) Do the volume/error etc screens look ok? -------------------- |

My phone got a little confused (I think) as I had a previous Homer homescreen of yours installed and it used the old background. I've changed the background manually to the right one and it looks better now, but I don't see the time/date now.
I battled with the application permissions so I'm feeling chuffed with myself but this last little thing is bugging me. Paul (SPV C550) |

RJtime and Facade now installed and it looks really great. Top work. Just one thing. The writing where it says the appointments and tasks, on top of the image of Springfield is quite hard to read as it's brown. Have I done something wrong still? |

you can change the color of the text by editing the xml or using a picture editor you can lighten the area of springfield so you can see it better. I would do it but my pc is bust!!

I would do it but my pc is bust!! It'll be a first for me, playing with xml, but I'll take a stiff drink to embolden me and dive in! Related question, are you up for any suggestions for further Homer related screens? For one, when you dial 999 with the phone locked, a confirmation screen pops up, maybe Homer's vigilante polie force could make an appearance? Actually, now that I think about it, encouraging people to test that might get us both in trouble, but you see what I'm getting at? Are you up for further ideas for inclusion? |

ive posted a tutorial on xml homescreen making.... it is pinned in the smartphone customization general discussion.
i do plan taking it further, i have replaced the orange banners for homer ones, ive skinned WMP and added a background to the start menu... however my pc will not boot up and i need a new hard disc fitted. thanks for the idea, ive never seen that screen customized so ill give it a shot. anything else? i think i can add a background to the contacts screen. thanks, Wal -------------------- |

Hmm... The only thing I can think of is to open the xml and under the rjtime stuff look for "drawring=" and change it to yes or true(the opposite of whats there )
Sorry guys just hoping I can get my pc fixed soon. Happy new year lads -------------------- |
