<p>Home screen is the basic state of the device. Once the user has powered

the mobile device on, it results in the home screen state after all the startup

activities have been finalized. The home screen state is the starting point

(home state) for users, from where they start their tasks. It displays information

about the current state of the device, including the connection status, battery

level, and network operator.</p>

<p>By default, the home screen displays predefined content. Users can add

to the home screen Web Runtime widgets and C++ applications that have been

enabled for the home screen. Users can also change the positions of the home

screen content.</p>
