Default Setting the "icon screen" as homepage

Please Login to Remove!

Is there a way to do this?

By default, the homepage shows a users 6 preferred icon-applications.

I would rather my homepage be the page showing ALL the icons.

Do-able?

Nope, but I built this theme for you kind of guys....

It's already in the media area, so I'll just give you a direct link to the page on my site:

18 Icon Home Screen - this is basically the stock theme but packed up with 18 user configurable icons. OTA download link at the bottom of the page / past the screen shots.

Hope it works for ya', and if it does feel free to drop a donation.

Thanks buddy. It worked. Not to complain but you did not include the "call log" icon in this theme, huh? Any way for a user to ad it?

Go find it, move it out of the folder and onto the home screen. Hint, it's in the "Applications" folder. Not one icon is locked in the theme.

I erased the rest of my comments, because I had nothing else nice to say. Feel free to delete the theme if you don't like it, it was FREE after all, no....

I like it. Only problem I have, and I figured a way around it, was the order. Everytime I changed the order then hit the excape button to go back to the home screen, my icons had moved.

I couldn't find the call log either. Wasn't in the apps section. Not sure where it is.

Why have a call log button when you have a key for it. Space or Call key bring up the call log!

Ok I downloaded this theme...and it looks great...but it is a little confusing:

--issue-- When I organize my main menu screen I have it settings one way, but when I try to go back to the home screen they are not organized the same way.

For example:

My Icons are aranged on my Main Menu screen as follows:

Row 1: KB Lock, Call Log, E-mail, SMS, Calendar, Contacts,
Row 2: MSG, Browser, Media, Clock, Camera, Help
Row 3: Search, Music, IM, Apps, Games, Google Maps

My Icons are aranged on my Home Menu screen as follows:

Row 1: KB Lock, MSG, SMS, Media, Contacts, Calendar
Row 2: Call Log, E-mail, Browser, Clock, Search, IM

(I think you get the picture...)

Anyway...its kind of confusing to see the icons get re-arranged like that...can it be fixed?

-Cheers-
