Dear Gadget,

A gentleman in the sprint store told me about your site and I would like to get the 2 page home screen because I hate having so much information on my first screen. How do I begin to download one of your zip files to my phone and install it? Also I am not XML savvy at all so how do I make the change to show my name on the device. I know you have to be quite busy but I would really appreciate the help.

I was also told that you have a louis vuitton home screen but I wasn't able to find it on the kooldezine website. Does that come in the 2 page version as well?

The problem is that the home screen requests have gotten so out of hand that I have stopped making them.

I have contributed hundreds of home screens to the Q community and I tried to keep up with the requests but it has simply got out of hand.

I get close to 100 requests a month (97 exactly in April) and I simply can't donate that much time. This time of year I am very busy with my business and I have to put food on the table.

I do still try to answer any posts or private messages with questions.

It was a learning experience and a lot of fun but it is now time for me to move on to something profitable.

For those that of you that have contributed to the cause, I do appreciate it very much.

Hey gadget thanks for all the great themes.

I have been messing a few of them and learning the xml layouts for Win Mobil 5.0.

I just got my moto q a couple weeks ago I love it.

I use verizon so I have been trying to add the blue tooth plugin into your themes so far I am getting there.

Hopefully I can get some themes done and going I will be able to post them for you all.

Thanks for all the work gadget and everyone.

Dammit you know I build web pages and do scripting for work sometimes but I cannot get the dam Blue Tooth plugin that comes with Verizon service to work outside of the verizon theme.

I like this modified theme I got from gadget but I cannot figure out what to put in to get the BT plugin to work.

Here is the script minus the blue tooth. Anyone have any ideas as to what I should add to get the BT plugin to work??
