Background image on Treo 650? - Treo Forum

mgill85258 · 10-14-2006, 01:44 AM

I know I can make an image appear where the dial-pad normally appears, but I'm trying to give my Treo a more Mac-like appearance. I already used PalmRevolt with the OS X theme, and it looks GREAT, but I want to be able to put a wallpaper image in the Application Launcher.

HELP! - What's the simplest little program that allows me to have a background image? I don't *really* want to use something like ZLauncher or something complex with themes etc, I just want a background image.

Anybody know what I should use?

I think your going to need a third party app to do that.

Check this thread out, it has a Launcher that is very much like the built in Treo 600/650 launcher and it will allow you to change the background picture to what ever you want, the background they've used is of silvergirl, but you can use your own pics if you want.

Works great and no errors. U can also add favorites to your treo, calc and etc.

I recommend it.You'll love it!!!

before i install these files, has anyone (you or a friend) bricked a treo 650 doing this? i'm not about to turn my beloved treo/right hand into an expensive paperweight...

Anyone here tried this yet? Comments/Concerns? Seems like a pretty ballsy move to me...

ok, i moved the launcher files to my treo and now i have a background. i also have NVBackup installed and the last saved b/u is from before i copied the files so as to not make the switch permanent. i'll try to have pics posted tomorrow, it's just too late now *yawn* and i've got school tomorrow...

Careful Brandon..... it could end in

forgot · 10-25-2006, 04:47 PM

So Brandon.....how did it turn out?

brandon · 10-25-2006, 07:55 PM

here's the pics. all went well and no worries kimmy. i've got a good backup on NVBackup before i did all this. i feel like i have a new toy! like having my t5 back, only better! only problem is there's no signal meter on the home screen but that's easily solved - just push the send button and there it is.
