It's worked on my T-Mob p910, and I'm actually quite pleased with the SE desktop as opposed to the crappy one that T-Mob gave me. And as Sparky said the app shortcut which was defined as T-Zones is now configurable too.

I forgot that I'd renamed the homescreen file ages ago while I'd been trying to find a way of disabling the homescreen application. I've just been running some tests and have discovered the following:
1. You need to rename the homescreen file before you install the SE Desktop program. The file is in c:systemAutostart. I renamed the "homescreen.ast" file to "homescreen.xast", then ran the install for SE Desktop.
2. Then when you uninstall SE Desktop you should find that the old homescreen doesn't run.
3. The application shortcut for the homescreen will be replaced with the "messages" icon.
NOTE: Don't be tempted to change the name of the homescreen file back to its original - if you do you'll find that the old homescreen will appear the next time you turn the phone off and switch it on again, and that you won't be able to remove it without going through steps 1 and 2 again..
Some good info there. If I have understood you correctly, then this is totally reversible, if for some reason I want the Orange homescreen back after uninstalling SE Desktop?

Yes. if you have SE Desktop installed then rename "homescreen.xasx" back to "homescreen.asx" it before uninstalling.
If you don't have SE Desktop installed then just rename the file and restart your phone.

nice 1 thanks
I like the prog, not too keen on the large panel for displaying call or message information, but I s'pose I can use the shortcut view for that

sparky, does this also replace the orange-ized icons in flip closed mode and along the top in flip open mode with the standard SE ones (which are much clearer and better designed)?

It doesn't, but I think you can still do it as I did it on my P900 to remove the Internet icon. Just go into system/apps on your C drive and delete the .aif file in the folder for the messed-with application. Restart the phone and you should be back with the default. I can't test it as I have flashed my phone already.

Nice tip! But it didn't work for me (I renamed them rather than deleting them).

Hi
Before I accidentally do something nasty to my much cherished P910, has anyone had any experience of getting rid of the Vodafone home screen instead of the Orange one?
Thanks in advance
Graeme
