Problem
A default condition must be available for display once the device has started, and to return to when all other processes and applications have exited.
Solution
All devices have an Idle Screen, originally when the device is not doing anything, now as a launching point or when the user is not specifically asking anything of the device...
Akin to the desktop for a computer...
Must provide access to everything on the device
Do not confuse the Idle Screen with Lock Screen or any other seemingly default screen if it does not provide the same immediate access to available functions.
