Haven't thought about the problems coming up with a dynamic number of homescreens before, sorry.
Your thoughts about the troubles of a scrollable grid because of the screen updates are absolutely comprehensible, but I won't be happy with a solution of next/prev buttons too - there're already next/prev buttons for the different homescreens. So I'm afraid that it'll be confusing if there are some buttons to browse inside one screen, too!

So what about something like shown in the attachement below?

I imagine as follows: by wiping over the screen the whole page should turn (not step by step reminding the problem of screen updates ).
So there aren't confusing buttons and the problem of screen updates isn't there either.

Hope you would like my idea.



Regardless of this, I had another little luxury problem
By using Sonys stock gallery app "Pictures", there are shown the icons of the "..\homemod\icons" folder and that really bothered me. Luckily I found a solution for this, too:
  • Open Windows stock Editor (haven't testet it with any other)
  • Go to "File" -> "Save as..."
  • Brose to "..\homemod\icons"
  • Set ".nomedia" as filename (the dot is important!)
  • choose "all filetypes (*.*)" for filetype
  • Save
Now all media files in this folder and any subfolder of it won't be shown anymore


Reagards,
