Home Screen Quick launch buttons

AdamD81 · #1 (**permalink**) 02-06-2010, 02:43 PM

I am running WM 6.5. I want to know if there is a way to add the 3 launch buttons on the Home screen like the attached picture. If not, any other tweak/customizations to edit the home screen without having to get a custom rom? I don’t care to have the Call History and Calendar on the home screen.

Thanks in advance!

My only suggestion to achieve that look without flashing a ROM would be to try Mobile Shell.

That's sense 2.5.

There is someone over on XDA working on porting over the home quick links to Sense 2.1 which is what TP2 WM6.5 is from stock ROM's.

Otherwise, would have to flash to non-stock rom that is sense 2.5

Thanks guys. Is there a way to change the items on the home screen? like change the default Call history and calendar to something else?

There is also a cab floating around that will install sense 2.5 on your 2.1 rom.
If you're interested in that. Then you can have quick links now, without flashing your rom. Let me know if you want or need the link for that.

There is, I am running it now on my stock 6.5 sense 2.1. The creator made it so you can have the stock alarm be changed to a third party alarm program like G-Alarm or SPB Time. It will also change the calendar link to a third party link. Although, the shortcuts are still alarm and calendar related. I don't know if that is something you want.

I am at work right now and I will find the link and other information in a couple of hours and place it here.
