Cardwheel / Custom Home Screens

[Guest eman006]

Just wondering if anyone knows a good source to get custom home screens. The ones included on the BJII are nice, but it seems that nonoe of the layouts fit all of my needs / wants.

The Cardwheel screen looks nice:

Does anyone know where to get this and if it works on the BJII?

Thanks in advance.

Based on the underwhelming response, I guess CardWheel was of no interest to anyone. Oh well.

However, I did manage to create a modified Windows Default Display .xml for the Home Screen for those who like the Windows Default layout, but don't like the big "recently used programs" icons that take too much space.
I've made the following changes to the Windows Default .xml file:
Recently Used Programs Icons are now smaller and you can see the maximum ten last used programs
Time and Date display is smaller so it doesn't take up 25% of the real estate - but time is still easily readable at a glance
Re-ordered the email accounts to show the email accounts in this order:
Email account used with ActivSync (in my case, corporate email)
Secondary Email account (for me, Yahoo Mail)
SMS (test messages)

I think that's all I really changed. Everything else I kept the same (i.e. missed calls order / size).

Hope this helps someone out there.

UPDATE: Sorry, it seems that I cannot upload the file. Can anyone of the admins help out here? Thanks. Edited March 17, 2008 by eman006

Looks like the new interface of Windows Mobile 6.1 to me.. http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2007/12/07/...eo-walkthrough/

Since i can't upload any files, here is the .xml code in the actual file. Name the file as an .xml file and save onto your phone in the \Applications\Home folder. In the Settings menu, it will show as "Windows Default Custom" in your buffet of Home Screen Layouts (only for English since I only changed the title for the English script). I left all the foreign languages in for those who need them.

As has been stated, MS *promised* an update for the Blackjack II. It is really up to Samsung and the service providers though, and whether or not it will come and when is something we'll just have to wait and see about...
