Home Screen - Motorola Q Forum

blueonblackstrat · 10-02-2007, 08:08 AM

I've tried to go to the home screen tab to see if I can't find some other home screens to use... However, when I go there, it says that there is nothing there. Is there anywhere else I should look?

Also, I've heard things about the mol3 updates, what exactally are they and where are they found?

and maybe even the Homescreen Collection Thread?

home screen tab ? where ?.. the phone default comes with some screens (at least my Verizon did)

MOL3 is a firmware update, don't believe there is/was a 'whats new' file wiht it, 1 thing i know is does is improve the battery life.

under the forum tab, there is a home screen option, and that takes me nowhere, I have tried several of the home screens on the phone, but I'm not "feeling" any of them other than the original... Some of them change the color of the letters... then I can't read it... even with my old man glasses.

I realize the mol3 update doesn't come with new screens... I have the extended battery, which so far seems to be working better... 2 days and running on full charge... Not to mention, it seems to be more comfortable to hold the phone

I see this has been moved, so I'll see what I come up with here...

not sure how you cant find any screens since the homescreen forum is loaded with them
and the ones you did find you arent 'feeling'
i guess this means you need to create your own

When I went to the tab where it says Forum.... and when I went to Home Screens... I got a this web page is not available.. However, since this has been moved... I'm here now.

Old Man glasses? I certainly hope 53 isn't old.

Here's a simple way of getting what you're looking for. Grab a couple of images, and post them here. Add a selection of what you' dlike to see on the homescreen, and a choice of color.

I can easily whip a simple one together. More involved may take a few days.

I found one, downloaded it to my puter... went to windows mobile..

Now, I've downloaded from the windows mobile site the 32 bit program... as my computer wouldn't accept the 64 bit program.

I only have four tabs available.
programs services
pictures music, video
file management
mobile device settings

After downloading the program, I went to the tutorial on how to download them to the phone, however, I don't have explore available on the screen. I'm not sure if I have this program downloaded properly.. or if there's something else I need to do...
