Chapter 2 Personalizing your phone
2.1 Home Screen
The Home screen is the screen displayed on the phone when you press the Home key .
Please refer to Chapter-1 for details on status indicators which are displayed in the Home
screen. You are able to customise the Home screen and this is described in the next few
sections below.
There are two categories of file that can be used to create a Home Screen for your
device:
• A picture file on its own
• A prepackaged unit that includes a picture, a colour scheme and a new layout
For the first option you may use a .bmp (Bitmap), a .jpg (JPEG) or a .gif format picture.
For the second option you may find prepackaged files with the extension of .hme or .cab.
The guideline document ‘How to install a cab file on your smartphone’ will guide you
through the installation process.
