Custom Home Screens - What do you want?

[RyanAmos]

I understand that many of us are not capable of creating our custom home screens manually. We use software such as facade which does this for us. It gives us a few options for us to customize. Although, there are many many other options we can modify.

So what I'm asking from you...

• What do you want to see?
• What features do you want to be able to modify?
• What options are you very fond of in the other software such as facade out there?

I'm looking to create a home screen creator for all of us to be able to create our own custom home screens. This is going to take a lot of planning on my part which is why I'm coming to you to see what you really must have on the first initial release.

Keep in mind, I'll be offering this for free. So the more feedback the better. ;)

Over on the right hand side a dial pad cheat sheet for letters so we can dial by letter much easier!

Hello, I am trying to find a Home Screen Layout that has

1. Big Full Date and Time
2. Missed Calls / Voicemails
3. 3-4 Lines of Calender (1 line for all Day)
4. Optional Icon Bar
I think it would be great to replace the splash power up/down screens...

I don't have a need for Emails or MMS
I use Blue tooth but don't need it on the screen
I don't use the Web interface
I am running Xtreme agenda and Sprite backup
I have Facade loaded.

Good Luck on the software engine.
Regards, Randy B.

oooh. how about if the home screen had all this fun stuff

- last used programs on a bottom bar
- task manager, IE, wireless sync, file mgr, settings, windows media
... fixated on a top bar so they are easily accessed regardless of last used

- big clock/date
- text/mms/email/voicemail bar
- profile selection
- calendar day view

I think you are all mis-interpreting the question. The question is really what OPTIONS would like to have in a home screen creation application. Obviously we all have different preferences for our screens. Here are the options I would like to see:

-Colors
-MRU programs on or off
-email, SMS, voice, etc as options
-Calendar and task options
-Program icons for any program, not just MRU.. the whole list. I want to be able to choose which Icons are there.. all the time
- Battery
-Time/date
-possibly a name or heading of some type.
-profile option
-bluetooth option
-task manager option
-fonts and sizes
-memory usage option


more advanced and probably not in a free program:
-weather and news updates (scrolling maybe?)
-stock quotes
-sports scores

All of these are options I think people might want. Oviously I would not want all of them. A home screen designer seems like a great idea though. Good luck!!

I use Good MMS (or GoodLink or whatever they're calling it now). I'd like something that would allow me to have the necessary Good stuff on the home screen AND still have the other WM 5 apps visible on the same screen. As you may know, Good pastes their crappy home screen over everything else and it's a pain to have to navigate into the Q to get to the WM 5 apps and stuff.

Thanks!

a homescreen that has live sports scores, sort of like an rss feed thing

Anything like it right now?

Also- how about a Restart function?
