Advertisements UPDATE: Nokia has filed a copyright complaint on this video and it has been removed. With the channel potentially being deleted too. Nice. This video comes from alex68 who sent it in to tips@mynokiablog.com. What we can see are two cool things 1) Homescreen swiping works with drag kinetics! It appears that the swiping […]
Now for some reason or another, the Symbian^3 homescreen introduces a perceivable “lag” when switching between screens. This is apparently designed that way (due to the active widgets on screen). The homescreen lag is less visible when in landscape (where the swipe movement would be more obvious than a possible mispress in landscape. You could […]
The N97 homescreen was quite nice when it was released. But lack of widgets, space and taste of Maemo 5 made it feel extremely old. Here’s a couple of videos showing a Maemo 5 style multiple homescreen on the N97. It uses GDesk like the videos in this 5800 homescreen hack post. Icon apps still […]

However, unlike the N97, the N900: has 4 homescreens (effectively making 1 big panoramic homescreen) the widgets/shortcuts are not locked into any specific position (like previous tablets)- customizing is very easy – delete, add, […]
Wrote this post a few weeks back but somehow never got round to ‘publishing’ it. After deep resetting the N97 and finding out “restore from memory card” did not restore my menu layout (as it did on 3rd edition), I got stuck in using the old S60 default menu layout, which was/is a pain! S60 […]
In this video, the Nokia designers explain how the homescreen, as we have seen on the Nokia N97, has come about. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C35s7ZLm1go] Initially, I wasn’t sold on the subject when I heard about the homescreen – I thought it was like Nokia’s “active standby” just slightly beefed up. Having used it for over a couple […]
