Smartphone QVGA Homescreens

The homescreens on this page is tested on a QTek 8310 (with an I-Mate SP5 ROM to be exact), but should also work on other Windows Mobile 5 QVGA (240x320) smartphones.

My homescreens will be installed to the /Application Data/Home directory. If you have an older device, it can be necessary to manually move the .XML file to the /Storage/Application Data/Home directory.

Usage

Installation
When re-installing a homescreen, first uninstall the previous one!
These are the steps to install:

Your device needs to be aplication unlocked

Download the zip and extract it

Copy the cab file to your device (through ActiveSync or cardreader)

Run the file on your device

Install it in memory

Wait until installation has completed and your homescreen has changed, then shut your device off and on

Tip: Use ThemeChanger to manage your homescreens.

Always use the default background for the homescreen, but you can always edit the XML file to your needs.

Uninstallation
To uninstall the homescreen:

Go to Start menu - Settings

Select 4-Homescreens

Change the homescreen to a standard one

Go to Start menu - Settings

Select 8-Remove programs

Select the homescreen to remove

Shut your device off and on

I used W411y's tutorial about making homescreens and CAB-files on the Modaco forum as a reference.

Oranjeboom

Oranjeboom means 'Orange Tree' in Dutch. It's also a beer brand (I don't drink that brand, gives me headaches, I like Grolsch better). The photograph is made by Paul Sveda and I have his consent for using his image.

Affected screens:

Banner with 'Smartphone' text

Homescreen

Start Menu

Dial screen

Call history

Call alert

Used plugins:

CellProfileSwitcher

I used the 'wifi' statement to show to which wifi network the phone is connected.
I'm not sure if this statement is avaiable in all ROMs. At least it is in the latest I-Mate SP5 Rom.
