I've just finalised my latest homescreen, after I was inspired by DAK_ATTACK and his excellent STEAM, this one is also a multiple homescreen.

DOWNLOAD : Downloads section here

UPDATE 25/09/2007: VOX users MUST use the CommCentric plugin included in the download zip file, or alternatively download from here: http://www.smartphone-freeware.com/download-commcentric.html

Thanks for the input.

I've raised the CommCEntric problem with the Developer here.

As it's a VOX specific issue, being as this is the only Smartphone currently with Portrait/Landscape switching, it may be difficult problem to diagnose and resolve if the Developer does not have this device to test with.

Added the Windows Mobile Green and Guava Bubbles schemes to first post, as these are not on some HTC VOX devices.

If anyone manages to create their own Color Schemes or Backgrounds, feel free to add them to this post

It's a very cool skin, but with this skin installed the phone freezes all the time :)

It's not possible to switch from landscape to homescreen. Then the phone freezes.

Sorry, I go back to the Touch homescreen

Nice job! Looks great on my Vox. I tweaked the Custom xml to include my Goodlink email and calendar instead of the Outlook. Also added Fizz Traveller instead of weather. Now I'm in business!!

Yes, I'm afraid the cause appears to be the CommCEntric plugin (the Bluetooth/Wifi toggle) being incompatible with perhaps another plugin such as SmartMonitor. If you tweak the custom XML and remove the CommCEntric plugin, perhaps replace with MRU or Windows Live, the switch between Landscape/Portrait works fine.

This issue will only occur on the VOX and the Portrait/Landscape switching.

I've reported it to the Developer here: http://www.modaco.com/CommCEntric-v11-home...st&p=836678 currently waiting for a response.

Thanks for taking an interest.

I've put a new version on the first post.

Tested on my device, and I've no longer had the freezing/crashing problem when switching from Portrait/Landscape.

I would be interested to hear if this version helps those who had this problem.

Note: The CommCEntric plugin still appears distorted in Landscape mode.

Hi

Phone becomes slow after installing them & also freezes when you switch back from landscape to portrait. Have to restart teh phone then...

Unfortunately, there is nothing more I can suggest, except use the custom.xml and remove the CommCEntric plugin. Switching works fine without the BT/Wifi plugin.

I'm currently working the the PhoneAlarmSP plugin to try an alternative approach, so watch this space

nice screens!!

For some reason, i cant get the Live Mobile plugin to appear even tho i have Live installed and am using the Live version of the screen - any ideas?

been using the screen for a couple of days now and the WiFi icon has a habit of disappearing - i switch between a non Endless screen and then back and hey presto, its back! any ideas there too?

also, (this one not a glitch!) i have got the Facade launcher running so that i dont have the MRU on the screen and also can change the order of the plugin - this means i can have the Smartmonitor as the final plugin. A small detail but useful in that you dont need to scroll thru it to get to the calender etc...

on the whole, i really like this homescreen!! I am using the Globe backdrop with the blue colour scheme - very nice!! ( maybe the next set would have a transparent top bar to make the backdrop go all the way to the top... i know, some people are never happy!! :) :P )

Hmm, not sure, working fine on mine.

Try the custom one, edit the XML to change the order and see if that displays.

Failing that, choose Windows Default homescree, login to Windows live, and enable the Homescreen plugin options.

This will create a Windows Live homescreen. Does that work?

if it does, edit the Windows Live homescreen copy the plugin text from there, and paste into the Endless: Windows live plugins, and overwrite the existing entries.

Not sure on that either. I've had problems with the CommCEntric plugin. Did you use the version with the cab file 1.11 , or did you already have it installed?

I put the SmartMonitor there so it could be visible in Landscape mode.

I don't use Facade, as I use an alternative Calendar software at work not Outlook, so it's not much use to me.

Feel free to play with the order of the plugins or add your own.

Yes I like the Globe one too.

You can make the icon bar transparent if you wish, just change the "bgcolor" in the following:-

I'm grateful and appreciate all comments, good or bad on this, and it will help me improve it, if anyone is interested in a new version.

I'm currently working on a new version that is compatible with VOX landscape switching, and won't crash ;)

The new version will be using PhoneAlarmSP to replace CommCEntric and the iconbar, which looks like this at the moment...

Activate/De-Activate Wifi, Bluetooth, GPRS from the IconBar (PhoneAlarmSP plugin), load Inbox, Missed calls, and also has a Battery/Signal/Memory % stats

post-54173-1187608488_thumb.png

This is very much "Work in Progress" and likely to change as currently this also has Battery/Signal/Memory (Power, MB) stats on SmartMonitor aswell...

post-54173-1187607928_thumb.png

I'll post ans share it when it's ready

:)
