How to save your personal homescreen layout to your CommBox OS Account

Save your customised home screen and sidebar so it’s ready to go on any CommBox Classic S4, S4+ and S5 screen you log into.

Applies To

CommBox Classic S4, CommBox Classic S4+, Classic S5

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1

Log in to your CommBox OS Account on your screen. Find out how here.

Step 2

Customise your home screen by rearranging, adding app shortcuts, tools, or web links. Resize them into any size you like with the widget feature. If you have a Classic S5, you can choose a different homescreen preset from CommBox Exp, if this has been left open by your IT Administrator. 

Step 3

Update your side menu with your most-used apps and tools.

💡 Tip: You can drag items from the launcher directly into your side menu for quick access.

Step 4

Your changes will be automatically saved to your CommBox Account within 30 seconds.

Step 5

When you log in to another CommBox screen, your saved layout will appear within 2 minutes.

Troubleshooting / What to Do If It Doesn’t Work

  • Missing app on a new screen?
    If you’ve saved a shortcut to an app that isn’t installed on another screen, the shortcut will still appear. You’ll be prompted to install the app from the CommBox Store or via Google Playstore on a Classic S5 when you tap it.

  • Changes not syncing?
    Make sure both screens are connected to the internet and you're logged into the same CommBox Account.

  • Layout looks different?
    Some elements may display differently if a screen is using a Classic S4 or Classic S5. Something if the firmware release on the screens are different, this can result in changes as well. Make sure all of the same model of screen are all on the latest firmware for a more consistent user experience.
