Guarding the Keypad

accidental key presses. An incoming call can still be answered by pressing the answer button.
Dial a Number
Pressing and releasing a key on the keypad or clicking the keypad icon on a touchscreen displays the dialer, in which the user can enter the remainder of the phone number and initiate a call.
If the phone is locked or keypad guarded it is still possible to make an emergency call.
Activate a Speed Dial Entry
Pressing and holding a number key on the keypad or writing a number or letter on the touchscreen activates the Speed Dial function (if any) associated with that number/letter, provided that the phone is not locked or keypad guarded.
Display Launcher
The launcher can be reached with a single button press (usually Key_Select).
Display a Custom Wallpaper
The user is able to set an image to be displayed in the background of
the Home Screen. This setting is made in the Appearance application.
Theming
The Home Screen is themeable without writing and compiling code.
