I like the original os and would just like to apply any wallpaper I want behind the OS. Any info would be appreciated

The only solution out there is to get a luncher utility like Zlauncher or to upgrade the ROM to a newer Palm OS Garnett version. Both of these solution can be difficult concerning that it was not intended for novice users.

WOW! Just tried Mega Launcher and I must say very impressive! I think I will stick with it for a while. Thanks for the info on a really cool app!

I like the battery tool in ZLauncher, and most of the shortcuts to the different functions. Waiting for popup menus is no problem- it gives you a second chance if you change your mind, and you don't often us them. The top & bottom bars are small and the screen doesn't look as busy in ZL than it did in the screenshots of ML... After all that, I don't see much different in look & functionality to justify the effort to untinstal one launcher system and install the other. __________________ Drive responsibly Rock & Roll Last edited by Tomohawk : 01-14-2007 at 12:01 AM.

Though not any legal way or? It sounds like a usual rom upgrade but the files must get yourself from somewhere else than Palm's site.

Anyway, I recommend zlauncher. Because even there is app for everyone but still, zlauncher is the most customizable launcher and when you have set up it for +1 hour it might just look as in your dreams

Zlauncher is way to make look your pda as stylish, modern and cool. But as Megalauncher might be easier to set up and ready for go it might still be the better choige for someones.

If you want know more about launchers. Check my thread:
