Note the last few posts, it seems that file has changed its format slightly.

I've seen that tutorial already, but it sounds like it doesn't work for the newer firmware versions. Besides, digging through JARs and poking at settings files sounds more fun.

This is what I found so far:

1. The SQLite databases in /var/local/ don't contain any settings.
2. You can launch various bits of the settings app through appmgrd using the viewRequest parameter, but only a few of them. Here are the IDs I found after a cursory look at settings.jar.
3. The diagnosticMode parameter is useless; it's only checked against ";311", ";411" and ";711".
4. Setting the get, startresult or load properties of com.lab126.booklet.settings through LIPC only managed to crash the app.
5. Adding a "HOME_VIEW" preference to the settings file I mentioned in the first post (home.jar seems to look for it) didn't do much of anything. Tried true, false, 0, 1 and 2, no change.

My apologies if this is old news to the veteran developers, but I didn't find much of anything in the way of public documentation. Also, my request still stands - if anyone has disabled their home screen, I'd love to take a look at your settings files.
