Can't Use Custom Homescreens in Samsung i320n
hey everyone, anyone have any idea why I can't use custom homescreens by putting in the XML in the application data/home directory? I would like to have the MSN Default one with no calendar and to remove the carrier text to consolidate the date/time into one line therefore there will be no scrolling. ANy ideas anyone? And also, I was able to install the .CAB homescreen from kl1weder's website which worked but i can't modfiy etc. thx

When you say you can't use it what do you mean? It doesn't show up on the list of available screens?

I have seen this problem before. You have to be real careful with the .xml file names and with the name in the "<Title>" tags in the file as well.

Start with one that works, copy it out so you have a backup. Then modify it. Also note the file names. If the file names are over a certain length they don't show up on the list. Something like that. It has been a while since I have tried it.

What if you don't even rename them? Just modify the code? One more thing. If there are errors in the body of your code, or even things the the OS doesn't like but are legitimate xml, the file might not show up. I seem to remember having that problem once myself.

If you install the latest homescreen's from his site, then before you change anything, try to set it as the active home screen. That should work for you. It does for me. Then you just have to carefully edit and keep a backup in case things don't work after.

Have you ever seen what I was talking about Mike? Files don't show on the list if they have coding errors in them?
