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",
"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"
}
And my S2U2 screen:

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.

today screen plug in

right, ive had to do the 'clear storage' thing again on my phone as i was having problems with it.
now ive been using the same kind of set up on the today screen for a LONg while and i want a change.
I dont like the touch flo or windows menue style either.
i put pointui on last night and its good, but there are things i want to change on it but i cant.
so what would you reccomend for me?
my old set up was like this...
{
"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",

Have you tried, or willing to try flashing a custom ROM onto your phone?
The Max Sense interface is based on Sense 2.5 (newest version of Touch Flo), but is HIGHLY configurable. It it doesn't give what you want, I don't now what will!
Energy ROM has it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=562773
Lots of people also like SPB Mobile Shell, but that is paid software.

i tried SPB demo but there were bits i didnt like, but i cant remember what it was now LOL
i am installing throttle launcher as we speak. ill let you know how i get on.
As for the rom i have still got the stock ROM

Flashing a custom ROM is not difficult. It might give you the home screen you're looking for, and may also alleviate the lag issues you seem to have (based on your signature).
I flashed my first custom ROM last May, and its so good, I immediately started wondering why I waited so long!

im rubbish at doin **** like that and ill probly brick my phone LOL
rubbish excuse i know.
but i also want a super light rom when i do finally do it tho.
throttle launcher is good btw, but when ya flip your screen it all goes away

Read the threads, and follow in the instructions, and you won't brick anything.

See how the first thread is titled "Flashing your First GSM Rhodium Rom (For Noobs)"? Its really written to be simple and idiot proof. Anyone can do it.
Best thing to do, if you are flashing for the first time, is read as much as you can BEFORE you start. Read the first few pages of each thread, and maybe the last several pages (to see what commons issues people have had). Same with the thread for whatever ROM you choose.
Follow the instructions carefully, and you will be fine. Usually nothing terrible will happen, but maybe just a minor glitch in the process that is not exactly per the instructions. That's why its good to read through the threads. You won't likely encounter a problem, which has not already been found by somebody else and has a solution posted for it somewhere.
Good luck.

fair enough, anyone wanna creat a super super light rom for me were everything works really well now?

i wonder how much a chef would want to create a rom to my specs??

How did you geth the icons on your Today Screen ?

Anything that is based on the sense/flo are pretty bad, they are just as slow. There isn't a ROM out there that is simple and fast, I have tried many of them and they're all bloated.
The fastest version of any of them is the default with the HTC Sense disabled, like you have found.
HTC sense is terrible and slow.

SPB Pocket Plus is descent: http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/pocketplus/
The closest thing I can get to Samsung's "Today Plus" from my Sansung Epix...which is awesome and really fast.
This SPB version is ok, the graphics aren't as good as the Samsung version...there are a couple of options missing...like the ability to see missed calls, voice mail, or email or text messages on the today icons...but it runs 10x faster than touchflo3d with maybe 1/4 the space.
I love the touchflo and sense look even more...but they take so much space on the device to run...you can't do much else at the same time.

Buttery smooth and very fast so far. GPS locked on faster than I've ever seen it, even inside the house.

Nice... Giving this a whirl tonight Thank you Zinx!

Battery life so far seems terrible. Check my stats below. Other than that it is running very good. ADW app drawer seems to open up SLIGHTLY slower than before. That's about it. I'm gonna try running without setCPU and see if battery life helps.
I wiped cache/dalvik/battery stats. only flashed 3 nightlies before this.
Thanks for all the hard work ladies and gents!

I understand that, but I'm just comparing it to my other nightlies and stating my particular situation. That's all.

I'm seeing problems holding a signal still, bouncing from H to 3g to edge.

1. just reboot and it should start working fine.
2. I dont think CM 7 has support for T-mobile contacts.. I think that's something built in the stock roms I believe but I'm not 100% sure
3. I concur

Signal still bouncing :-/ that's the only problem I have

[ROM][2.3.2][iROMs Team] iHero/iMagic

Hey guys,
I know some people aren't fans of the iPhone but the UI is very sexy
So thanks to some chinese devs we have a pretty fantastic replica, at the moment quite a lot of the ROM is still in chinese even while using the English translation. So if anyone can help with translating the ROM that would be a HUGE help. PM me if you can help out, enjoy the ROM!

OMG JieeHD you are AMAZING : DDDDDD. First SalsaSense than OMFGB and now this, you guys the reason why Im not getting a new phone

Hi
First impressions ...
First don't be afraid at the first launch. There is a screen with Apple logo, then a circle, and then a blackscreen. Wait few minutes and then push power button to unlock.
Secondly, wifi doesn't works for me.
No GSM reception and no data connection, even with the good settings.
A lot of instructions are in Chinese
And system never asked for my PIN code !!!!!!!!!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103398
Maybe you should take a look on this, seems that people got some work done
Stefan

Looks very pretty. Too much Chinese writing and not able to locate access for syncing accounts other than Google. Also, the apps which are installed after loading the rom, fill the pages so there is no room for putting widgets on the page. Charge light does not go on?

Flash a Las Venturas or Las Venturax kernel.

Flashed LV 0.5e with rom and was able to set up wifi no problem. Once translated, this will probably be a little easier to navigate around. Anyone?

Is everyone able to send and receive SMS? Don't think I can and if not this release will be pulled.

Looking great! Hopefully there will be a good translation soon. I will test it for sure.
How´s the performance on the Hero? Just as good as SalsaSense?

Wipe cache and dalvik if you are already using 0.1

Interesting, going to try it out...

Great job. I'm surprised it took this long for someone to "i" the android. Personally I i won't be using it. I have an android cuz I don't like apple. To me it would be like hating Ford but puting a Ford logo on your Chev and then bragging to your friends that your Chev looks just like a Ford.

Fast nice stable and funny
everything seems to work and fast.. damn fast
the chinese is horribe because i cant turn of the typing sounds,
its almost a awesome rom

This is quite neat to play around with and once again, not only shows how customizable Android is but how versatile / talented our devs are!
Also, I'm not sure if it's just me but the update / patch seems to revert quite a few of the translations back to Chinese...
Edit: Found my way to the language settings and reset it back to English

Be proud dude

Looking for "dropdown" with flashlight, airplane mode, 4g toggle, etc.

Hello,
In my previous version of sprintlovers installed by autoroot script there was a dropdown menu (I don't know what the proper name for this is) that included buttons to toggle 4g, turn on flashlight, activate airplane mode, and a few other functions. Does anyone know where I can find this? It was not included in my latest sprintlovers update.
Thanks!

Try running the swagged out stock rom. Its the stock rom but tweaked alot. I believe it has what ur talking about in the drop down.

I've considered MikG but right now am quite satisfied with Sprint Lovers. Is it not possible to add this functionality with an add-on of some sort (as my previous version of sprint lovers did have it, though it was part of the autoroot package)
Thanks!

You can always use Widgetsoid from the market. It is an app that lets you configure whatever settings you want in the notification dropdown. It works good, but is a pretty steep learning curve to set up. Luckily they have a pretty good help page to get you through the setup.

Go with MikG. It rocks!

I've used Widgetsoid almost as long as I've had my Evo. And there isnt a steep learning curve at all.
1. Choose which system settings you want displayed in the widget group (You can even choose custom apps you've installed from the market)
2. Choose what color/transparency/design you want them to have.
3. Save widget settings to quickly reuse later if you flash a different ROM
4. Hit apply and enjoy your new widget group.
It can't get any easier than that.

I know what he is talking about. And yes they have. I've included screenshots of them on my phone. They are difficult to see because I always have the power widget turned off and the background on my notification bar is supposed to be the main focus. But regardless, they are very much able to be put up there in a GB ROM. I can't speak for other ROMs but I use CM7.1 and its a standard option within settings. Just go to Settings > Cyanogenmod Settings > Interface > Notification Power Widget. Don't know how to do it for other ROMs.

They have not yet been ported to GBsense yet is I think what is being said...

Correct. Ca1ne meant gingersense. It's funny because that mod originated with the cm crew...hehe. so of course you have it
But this might be my next project. Gonna see what can be done.
