Show your Android Home Screen

Did a search, and didn't see a thread like this, so thought I'd start one.

Please, name any widgets/wallpapers(if in market)/special apps that make your homescreen look like it does

Here's mine

Homescreen



Top clock is Beautiful widgets with one of the downloadable skins (eclair for clock, plaingrey for weather)

Middle icons are folders from Folder Organizer lite (lets you change folder icons) with launcher pro icons

Contact/bookmark widgets are Launcher Pro widgets (just flashed my phone to a new rom and back, so my bookmarks are gone for the time being)

Then the bottom is launcher pro, with a few extra icons from the launcher pro site

Wallpaper is NexusMod (free, allows tons of different colors, or greyscale as seen above)

Lock Screen



Widget Locker for all the sliders (and to allow the widgets on lock screen)

TOp clock is the same

Media widget is from Doubletwist.

So, lets see yours!

For rooted users only, download shootme or picme to take screenshots. Non-rooted users, I don't think you can.

Miki edit: Guys: Do not post links to websites requiring members to sign up to something in order to view your screen shot. If that's a problem, don't bother posting as I will remove it. Thanks.

So if I get Widget Locker I can add a slide-to-camera dealy to my lock screen?

Mine is nothing special. Just fancy widget, default Launcher Pro, and shortcuts to fb, pictures, calendar, camera, market, maps.

Yeah, widget locker lets you place any widget you want on your home screen, as well as sliders that let you do various things. You can launch any app with the slider, and he also has some built in (like camera). Works great, love the extra functionality.

Is that the stock launcher at the bottom?

If you only want to root for screenshots, there's ways to unroot as well. Look around for your specific device.

ShootMe supports 1.6 for sure, maybe 1.5 as well?

Shooter, that looks nice. Where'd you get those icons?

FriedSushi, wow, that's a lot of icons! How'd you pull that off?

Made a few changes to mine



The new Sixty Six is battstatt, shows my battery life, very customizable

THe new icons are added with desktop visualizer, and used launcher pro icons. Figured goodle reader was my main bookmark, and I can use vlingo (mic icon) to contact people

i have never liked android phones, so obviously im a iphone guy. and i figured out why. android phones are great for all the widgets, and i hate clutter. but your mainscreen looks very nice, for the same reason you did it that way... clean and simple.

Thanks, those icons are actually part of both xTheme (Droid X Theme) that I have installed over the rom I am using, Bugless Beast 0.4; As well as a Droid X theme for ADW which adds a few more custom icons, and a transparent app drawer background. I just love the circular app drawer button.

Top it all off with auto-hide for the notification bar, and you've got my homescreen

Thanks, it's actually funny you say that, my brother has an iPhone and he said pretty much the same exact thing lol

Looks nice. And how did you do that? That's a great idea. Part of the theme as well? I'd like to try if not (not an ADW user, I prefer Launcher Pro) and how do you get it back? Pull down the top still?

I like it.
Looks good, nice looking dock. You don't happen to have the icons? Mainly the arrow? I wouldn't mind replacing my app drawer with that.

I don't sorry, I'm a nub when it comes to icons etc, I don't even own a phone myself, just messed around with my mothers that's all


It's just the stock icons that come with the FLB 1.3 rom for the Pulse though, you could probably nab them from the rom though right?

EDIT: I lied, I forgot I changed the theme after flashing FLB, The icons and dock are from ADW.Theme.One ;x

It's actually a feature of ADW and LauncherPro if i'm not mistaken. I havent used LP for a while but I think I remember it having an option to hide the notification bar.

ADW has an option to have gesture assignments, and I set my "Swipe down" action to pull down the notification bar, and "Swipe up" to bring up the shortcut bar for my short list of apps that I use most frequently. The cool thing about the gestures is you don't have to actually swipe from a specific part on the screen, which makes getting the notification bar down extremely easy.

Now that I think about it, I feel like I remember seeing gesture options for LP as well since it and ADW usually compete with each other feature-wise.

Thanks, i found the hide notifications, and I found something about gesture setting, but can't actually set a gesture :\\

Will work on it, thanks for the heads up
