Unable to view new home screen

[rmunson]

I am trying to make a change to the VZW Layout home screen so that it uses my IMAP4 email account when clicking on the "Email(*)" link. I have found many articles in the forums stating how to do this. My approach has been to copy the mwork.home.xml file from my Q to my computer, make a copy of it, and rename it to something else (ie. jennifer.xml). I edit jennifer.xml, by change the <title> element for all languages to:

<titlelang="0x0409">VZW Layout Jennifer</title>
<titlelang="0x0809">VZW Layout Jennifer</title>
<titlelang="0x040c">VZW Layout Jennifer</title>
<titlelang="0x0407">VZW Layout Jennifer</title>
<titlelang="0x0410">VZW Layout Jennifer</title>
<titlelang="0x0816">VZW Layout Jennifer</title>
<titlelang="0x0C0A">VZW Layout Jennifer</title>

Then in the MessageCount plugin, I have changed as such to point to my IMAP4 account (I have verified that 2Js is the exact name):

<pluginclsid="{62E5C279-1E55-4bbb-95DA-D576093C23BE}"name="MessageCount"height="20">
<background>
<formatstate="selected"bgcolor="COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHT"/>
</background>
<label>
<textlang="0x0409">Email <unreadMsgsname="2Js" /></text>
<textlang="0x0C0A">Email <unreadMsgsname="2Js" /></text>
</label>

Lastly I copy jennifer.xml to the \ApplicationData\Home folder on the Q. When I go back to Settings > Home Screen, I am expected to see an additional entry in the Home screen layout list for VZW Layout Jennifer, but only the out of box 6 are still there.

Any ideas why this didn't show up? I have diff'd the original with my new one to verify this was the only change. I am sure it is something simple, but can't figure out why?

Thanks,
Ryan

I'd say it's your code. In case there are mistakes in it, the layout doesn't show up as option.
First off, there aren't any spaces? Or is it just after copying and pasting it here?
Try opening the xml file with IE on your PC. IE should point you to the errors.

The lack of spaces was due to copy/paste. I opened the xml file in IE w/o error. I have attached the xml file as a text file since can't upload xml.

Any ideas on what else could be the problem?

Exactly....that is what happened for me also, so that tells me that it isn't bad xml....so wondering if there are any other reasons it wouldn't display as an option.

any code should open in IE...error or not

but the Q wont read it as a complete file if there is an error which may be the problem

Yep, but that is why I am posting to the forum to figure out what is wrong with the file.

Couldn't find anything. You should probably try going back to the original code (hope you back-upped that) and make the changes again. Check the settings menu after every change, so you see in which section you made the fault.

i don't think this is accurate my friend.. try removing for example a end tag and IE will display the tag that has an error and will not display the entire xml... (or is that what you mean also)
