Symbian S60 v3 Applications Symbian OS 9.1/9.2/9.3 (3250,5500,E50,E60,E61,E90,N71,N73,N80,N82,N91,N92,N93,N95,N85,N96) Apps only.

Voyager Home Screen(vHome) is a FREE ware helps you customize your S60's home screen with big clock, start menu, weather, news ticker,Google,fav contact,smart dialing ,etc.

This is what looks like after you install.


This is what looks like after you select city and news channel, enable 2 rows shortcuts.



Features like Google, weather, news , Operator logo, big clock are pretty straight forward, if you do not like a certain feature, just press C to disable it.press left/right on to-do bar and news bar could switch item.

Quick task switch: we use the red end key to switch between running tasks,it's lot easier than pressing home key and then select, also you will never quit java apps like Opera Mini/Gmail by accidentally pressing red key.

Smart dialing: just type one number for one letter , to find any contact fast.Like 2455 for Bill. You can use this for apps,too. Like 46245 for Gmail. You might find phone's menu a bit useless when you can get to anything from home screen with smart dialing.

Start menu : another way to organize your apps, you can locate an app using smart dialing, and place the app in start menu or home screen shortcut easily. And we support sub-folder in start menu.

MyFav: we scan your call logs automatically. and place the people you call/text most frequently in MyFav feature, on the home screen's right selection key.(of course you can change this with any app you want).press left/right key in this, you can see your most used apps,too.

vApps: yeah, we include a mini app store , the seventh shortcut. not too many apps for now(tell us what you want to see here), we want to gather the best free apps here, all fit your phone model(we test and organize them by screen resolution, mr/fp1/fp2 etc, so you don't have to).just one click to download, auto install to E: , dead simple.(the list is updated automatically , so check in once in a while).

New app popup: after a new app is installed, you would see a popup asking if you would like to run it now. save you time digging in to menu to find it.

Web directory: Click web browser, you'll see our directory page. all most popular mobile sites(hopefully). If you don't like it, just turn it off in Start-Settings-More

Keypad Lock: sorry the system's settings would not work, please setup again in vHome.Lock is easy: Start-Lock, much better than old way. Press end key twice to unlock.

Connection: by default,vHome update weather/news each hour, 9:00-23:00 (no update if you disable news and weather), change this in Start-Settings-Connection to suit your needs.

We do not have a web site yet, come to http://groups.google.com/group/voyager_mobile if you want to give us feedback(We'll appreciate it) or email steven.wireless@gmail.com

vHome works with most S60 (including 320*240 models like E71, but not 3250,N91,5500)

For E series,you may find holding home button would not work, install a task manager soft like Jbak will solve this.

vHome does not replace original home screen, we just place another layer on top of it, so when you quit Menu, you would see the screen splash to 'old' home screen first, also when calling. We'll work on this in the future.

About power consumption , we did many tests using Nokia Energy Profiler, vHome does not consume more power, except when downloading weather/news data.

With big clock turned on, you may find wall paper do not display properly with some themes, we're working on this.

update: just uploaded 3.0.2b, updates:
1.fixed the calendar bug
2.now you can press left/right on to-do bar to switch
3.separate lines can be turned off now
