Home Screen Snapshots

I want to see what other peoples home screens look like, how do I take a screenshot of mine? Is there an application for that somewhere. I am working on compiling information for my website so I can easily get to it all. If people can point me to the best reference areas I would appreciate it.
Thanks
Please share your home screen with me

I use MagicSS.
Home screen simple and clean like I like it:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

What do I need to do to get my clock large like your second picture.

These are a few variations I've used.

I'd love to see everyons home screens as well.. I have attached a program that takes them for all the people out there not knowing how to do it

Mine are also fairly simple & maybe a bit dark?

Won't show mine. Ohhh well

Here is my home screen, very simple and effective

Here is my Home Screen
Pretty basic, home plug, and the HTC Customizer, plus a wm6 theme I found online. My ode to the Florida Gators.
Let me know what you think......
I would like to see more too.
And thanks for the Screen capture program works like a charm.

HEre is mine
Let me know what you think. Its my ode to the Florida Gators. I use the standard HTC home plug and home customizer...

Would you mind supplying the super mario image?

This is mine most of the time.
EDIT: I just noticed that I took these back in December, and I still have the same setup. Must be working good for me, I usually change it VERY often.

i would like to know that too. also, could you please list the used apps on your today screen

No problem, I have Spb PocketPlus installed with the bare minimum components for the today screen plug-in. Then on my first "Home" Page I have unlocked HTC Home (you have to do this to place it on a tabbed page of Spb) then under it is the meters that come with PocketPlus. Then on the next page I have rlToday with a skin I made and will attach to this post for any that would like to use it. Then the next tab is SBSH PocketWeather 2.0.5 that I slightly modified from the PhatPhinger skin you can find one there site. Then the next page is just a app launcher page that zips me to any of the apps that I use a lot. I have sense added a 5th page that has Windows Live and Windows Live Search plug-ins on it. The good thing is that even with all this loaded and running CRC's v12r6 6.1 ROM, I still have 42.58M Storage and 22.46M Program mem left. And I have a lot of other stuff installed as well.
Thanks for asking about my screens and if I can be of any other help just let me know.

thanks a lot!
one more question: how do you unlock HTC Home? i apologize if it's a stupid question, but i really don't know...

There is a CAB file on this forum somewhere that is HTC Home Customizer that lets you unlock it.

Sweeter Home - SKINS

(Edited original post)
Sweeter Home Skins from this thread:
Dark Rising - by Puny Weakling
Be Square - by Puny Weakling
Dark Rising 2.0 (with springboards) - by PW
Be Cubed - by PW
Thrillho - by PW

That is extremely nice. I would have continued using Sweeter Home if it had themes like that.

Soon it will be yours. Just need to write a readme.

wow very nice i might use this =D

nice, havent heard of sweeter home. Maybe I'll make a theme for it 8)

I dont see this app in the market

PLEASE post here or email me with any probs. I have no idea how sharable this is or how your trays will appear. The wallpaper should use what ever your system has set as wallpaper. Disable WallCal if you have it.
FEEDBACK on installation please!!!!

I sent you a PM punkweakling. Check it for me please.

Dark Rising.sly
Works?

wow thanks again your amazing :]

neat!!..so clean..good job man

Thanks team! I'll work on some new ideas soon. There's some good opportunity to build customer wallpapers into the skin too.
With Dark Rising how did you find the trays loaded with your apps? Did you have to do much drag/dropping to customise the trays the way you want?

how do you make themes for sweeter home?

Nice Job
Installed w/o a hitch - you might want to mention the directory to copy the .sly file to, [sweeterhome] in case people might not already be aware. All of my icons in your trays ended up being copies of the default - e.g., browser, camera, mail, maps.... Incidentally I have about 330 apps installed, so I likely have most of the same as you.
Also, the right side screen is hard to swipe to the left from, as you cannot switch screens by swiping on anything other than the desktop itself - this is an issue with sweeterhome itself, so I'll mention it at the app's website, as I'm sure it bugs many other people, especially when they want to maximize the desk space.

Are you talking about the contacts sreen (to the right of the middle screen) I left the whole bottom section of the screen clear for swipping (aside from the contacts icon). Or do you mean you'd prefer to be able to swipr from anywhere on that screen. You could always move the contacts list and the favs list up to the top of the screen giving you more real estate underneath and then re-saving. Anyway the dev is thinking of ways to fix this too. Might require a significant re-write.

Thanks man. Greatly appreciate you sharing.

I'm currently working on one right now to match with the Aero theme. I'll upload a few pics of what I have done in a bit.

Double post ><

What I have so far. Screens are top, middle, left.
Any suggestions? I've been trying to think what I could do with the left/bottom and how to work on the right screen.
I've currently changed the borders so they are bigger and black. Not sure if I'll keep it though, I like the white. I've also managed to add the name of the docks on the top ones.
I'm also planning a completely different setup for when the phones in landscape mode.

ipcalc

One app I would like to see when WP7 comes out is a good, functional, yet nice looking IP calculator. This is the one that I use for my class, but it isn't for WM nor (obviously) for WP7. http://www.radmin.com/products/utilities/ipcalculator.php
I have tried getting someone to port the iPhone version http://www.addressplus.net/iphone/ipcalc/ because it looks pretty, but have gotten no responses either here or over at modaco. If someone could make a great ip calculator for WP7 then you would definitely have at least one buyer when WP7 comes out lol. (a WM 6.5.5 version to tide me over would be great too lol)

Subnet Calculator
I figured I'd give this a shot. Here's a few screenshots of what I've got so far:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It's all working pretty well at the moment. Clicking any of the buttons will bring up a popup list of the values to select from and you can drag the sliders to adjust the settings as well.
I'm thinking of setting it up so when you swipe the screen left/right it will go to the previous/next subnet and maybe adding a main page where you can select from a class/classless calculator.
If I have sometime later tonight I'll try to make a video of it running in the emulator.

Not bad, the idea is there. I think you need some more spacing between elements to make it proper touch friendly, but looks like we got a handy app for sys-admins here!

Yeah. There's definitely not much room for fat fingers on there right now :-( I think the lists could use a little more padding between the values, and maybe there could be a little more space between the buttons and the Subnet Bits slider. It's difficult to tell what's too close for sure without playing with it on an actual device, but I should probably take another look at the design guidelines (I remember reading something about the recommended minimum spacing between elements).
Anyways, here's a quick video of it in action. The emulator runs kinda crappy on my laptop because I don't have hardware assisted virtualization, so I apologize if anything looks choppy (could just be my amateur code too, hehe).

Nice work man.

That is totally awesome! I am glad someone decided to give it a go, now I really can't wait for WP7

Yup. I added the main page where you can select the type of calculator. Right now I'm pulling out the code that can be shared between the two calculators into a separate class.
I rearranged the way you select the subnet class and enter the IP address as well. The class selection is now a button with a popup menu like the Subnet Mask, etc, and the IP address is now a single textbox as opposed to the 4 separate textboxes.
I'll post an updated video once I have everything working again.

awesome. This is going to be a huge help to us net-admins. Doing subnetting is annoying as hell without the calculator lol

any updated video or screens?

Yup. Here's a quick screenshot of what it's looking like now. Now that the official pivot controls are out, I'm toying with the idea of making the calculator mode selection a pivot...

looking good can't wait, sadly I have to wait until verizon gets WP7, but when It does (hopefully when the LTE 4G is active) then I will definitely be getting this app . One thing I might put, instead of Classed and Classless, I would put Classful and Classless. I was taught that it was refered to as classful when all the subnets have the same mask. Other than that, looks awesome!!!

Haha, showing my ignorance I suppose :'( names fixed

cool that is awesome. Thanks again for doing this.

Looks great but could do with adding slash notation for subnets

That's what the Mask Bits slider is for

Hi,
This looks awsome. I can't wait to start using it.
can you tell us when its going to be released?
Is it gonna work on HTC HD2 ( Windows Mobile 6.5 Pro)?
The Screen resolution is: 800x480
Thanks,

I suppose I need to register for MarketPlace first, and then it would be available at the release of WP7.
In regards to WM6.5...I'd need to rewrite the application since WP7 development is a different beast. I'll look into the amount of work that would be required to port it, and if it's not too bad, I'll release it in the WM Development thread as well.

awesome. Be sure to let us know if you do release it for wm6.5. I could then use it until verizon gets a wp7

[Q] Google earth control

Ok, this may be a totally dumb question, but how the hell do I control/interact with Google Earth on my Nexus (4.0.2). I cannot seem to get it to tilt and pan etc using touch. I see no other icons or menus with control options? Am I missing something simple?

Uninstall and redownload.
Terminators run on Android

Ok. I'll try that. but this was the pre-installed Earth that came on my phone. Not sure I can uninstall. will try though. It's updated itself since I got the phone so should have the latest version, but will try. thanks

Ok I uninstalled the updates to the app, but I cannot uninstall this "system app". So I disabled it, forced stop. Enabled it again and will now download updates to make it 6.1 again.
I'm not sure what I should be seeing when using this app. There are no controls.

Just go to market and search for your application on the menus, then press your app Earth and there will be an option to update.. That's what i've done.
Cheers!

I have the very latest google earth from the market. 6.1 something.
Here is a screenshot. Does this look right? how do I tilt the screen to get the 3d angle? all I can do is drag around, and rotate. I cannot tilt so I can see topography?
ARGH. Im sure its just me not knowing how to use it.
Screen shot - where are the tilt controls?

I too would like to learn how to tilt the view in Google Earth.
But I am bemused by the responses so far. Why is it necessary to uninstall and reinstall? Are you suggesting that the factory installation (with updates) is somehow broken?

Use two fingers to rotate/tilt.

Hold two fingers to the screen and instead of pinching, just slide both up or down to change viewing angle or rotate them in a circular motion around a centred point in order to spin.

I thought so, because the OP said other icons and controls were also missing. I also did not realize it was a system app (it was a Market app on my Fascinate and treated by my ROM as a user app)

How the hell did I not figure that out!! Never used multi-touch in that way before.
Thats great. Exactly the solution I needed. thank you.
I've been using touchscreen for 2 years, so I cannot be the first person not to figure that out. No hint on the app itself or help about how to do that.
anyway, cheers

Thanks to all from me too.

Google maps works the exact same way. If you go to maps and drag 2 fingers down you will get that "3d" view. It's cool. They must be trying to get some continuity from app to app.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Although I'd agree it's not massively obvious in the app, there's always Menu > Help. Which has this to say:
To tilt your screen, touch the Look-Around icon and ensure it's enabled. To tilt up, touch the screen and move down. To tilt down, touch the screen and move up.

Spotted the problem? The "Look Around" button doesn't seem to exist any more, so the help is out of date! Wonderful.
I can confirm the "two finger draggy-spin" method works fine though

I know the solution. This was happening to me too but i figured out. This is how to do it. Enable auto rotation open Google earth and tilt your device then hold two fingers and swipe downward or upward. I hope i helped so thank me. Ok!!!!!!

General Bugs that I've noticed.

I will be posting bugs and maybe you too just so that we can compile them and maybe we can solve them using the reply functions or something.
Here are mine:
Reacting doesn't work right on Facebook it'll being up the options but I have to take my finger off and tap on the reaction I want.
Spire mobile banking app only in landscape
Commenity good sam's credit card log in refreshes when tapping username or password fields (tested on edge and Samsung internet both using desktop and mobile site) only when I use outer screen did it work. I didn't try chrome cause I've been trying to oust chrome.
YouTube randomly launches in multivideo or regular mobile version displaying only one video spread across screen.
Log in button on xda doesn't function on edge only on chrome. Which is what I'm using to post this.
If you got answers or resolutions lmk. If you got bugs post em .

I noticed sometimes when I tap things near the bottom of the screen in an app the phone will briefly flash another app as if it thinks I want to swipe to that app. Sometimes it actually does switch to another app. Does this happen to anyone?

If I use Bixby to set a timer, then move the little on screen timer to somewhere convenient it resets to its default position upon changing folding and/or screen orientation

I think your finger activated the bottom home/back gesture. You can turn on the gesture guide so there is more offset from bottom so less accidentally activation.

I didn't think of that. Thanks!
I just switched to the lowest gesture sensitivity too.

In hopes that somebody from Samsung may actually come across this I'll add another thing.. this is copied and pasted from multiple Reddit posts I made earlier tonight
On the Z Fold 3 I noticed that if you change minimum width on the main large screen it also affects the smaller screen. Does anybody know if there is a way to have Bixby routines manipulate developer options so that I can set one width for main screen and one width for smaller screen?
Anyways it'd be nice to have this option available rather than just zoom and font size options via Bixby routines

I doubt Samsung will listen to you. will not waste effort to add codes to cater to this.
