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

Sweeter Home Skins from this thread:
Dark Rising - by Puny Weakling

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.

Show us your TP2 home screens

anyone had a play with their phones appearances? think we should have a thread showing off our homescreens

very nice! how have you done that?

just replaced taskbar and bottom tabs. use crystal envelope on 'mail' tab also and a few other bits here and there which you cant see.
background goes through all the tabs as well, though annoyingly its slightly softer on the home tab. dont htink a fix has been found for this yet though!

So how's the iconset called ?

its really not very difficult if you search these forums.
the task bar for example, you'll need to install sdkcert cab (which i believe allows adjustments to rom files), then install the taskbar cab. thats all explained in the threads. the slider icons i used were again in a cab file.
generally anything thats compatable will tend to be explained well in the threads and installed in the same way as other 6.1 devices. be wary that this is a new phone though, so 100% compatable themes and the like arent going to be quite so plentyful as other phones!

ok no probs
thats why i have asked for a walk through from people who have done it on the TP2,
tried to alter the weather app the other night after doing a search couldnt get it to work then hamz22 did a walkthrough of what he did on a tp2 which was different to what i had been trying and it was spot on
i have sdk certs on so i will look for the task bar cab
thanks for the hlp

Hi Shingers5,
I really like the look of the icons on the bottom of your screen, any chance you can post a link to the cab or whatever it was you did to achieve this. Oh, and how did you change the colour of your clock?
Thanks

How'd you get the clock? I want to make an analogue clock like in HTC Touch 3G TouchFLO2D for TouchFLO3D 2.5/6.

[HOWTO]Customize your Lockscreen with Widgetlocker

I didn't find a thread dedicated to customizing your lockscreen, tought it might be a good idea to post a quick how-to in case some people didn't know about this yet. I've gotten a lot of help from this community so I wanted to give something back, even if it's something small
So the Widgetlocker app allows you to modify your lockscreen, you can add app shortcuts, widgets, sliders, actions, change the background and a bunch of other stuff.
1. Download the Widgetlocker app.
2. Open the app, get into the "tool mode" (tutorial has a good explanation on the different modes).
3. Long press on the screen and there you can choose to add a custom slider, application shortcut or widget.
4. For custom sliders chose ICS theme to make it look like stock, then long press and click edit. You can add up to 4 different actions/shortcuts/applications.
Here are some screenshots of mine, nothing fancy, just 2 extra sliders with 4 apps each. Added flashlight and sound toggle to the default slider and weather widget below the clock.

Lots of themes for Widgetlocker are available here (thanks zombieflanders)
Edit: Resized screenshots for easier viewing

Nice work, thanks for sharing.

When I was looking at reviews of this app on the Market, I noticed some people complaining on battery drain, have you experienced that, or any other negative side effects of using Widgetlocker?

Haven't experienced any battery drain so far. The app was a bit quirky at first but checking the "Root Helper" option in advanced settings and disabling the default lockscreen helps a lot.

Good info for those who don't know about it, gabster21. As an addition, there's eleventy billion (no, really, there's so many that they had to create a new index on Google Docs) WidgetLocker themes in this thread, with support from the dev here. BTW the dev is the always-awesome and responsive [email protected], who is responsible for Nova Launcher, which even in beta whoops the stock launcher's butt, so if you haven't already, be sure to thank hi as well as gabster21 and zHk3R.

I had a look at those earlier but forgot to add that to the first post.. done it now, thanks!

Another cool feature, useful for advanced users (especially those with root): If you go into WL's settings menu and hold the volume-down button for a couple seconds, you get an additional menu of "experimental" settings. But as the title says, they really are experimental, which means they're unsupported and may not work or even break functionality.

When the ICS slider is at the bottom it expands very small, much smaller than the stock bubble (where the selections sit). But when the slider is moved up from the bottom of the grid it expands all the way, giving a longer travel from the center before a toggle is selected. Does anyone know why this is?
EDIT: I would delete this if I could figure out how. The circle expands less because I had a shortcut on the bottom which would get cut off if it expanded more.

Hello droids
I completely forgot how to customize the maingrid of the app.
In my previous setup i had clock, battery % and (eventually) battery status charging (like gabster21 lockscreen)
I need phosphoreus, but how to config again in this way?
Thanks

Ok for now i solved by an experimental function (hold down volume button in settings menu) but i would know still how i did that customization in the maingrid...

Vertical scrolling launcher

I created some image tiles for my home screen; something similar to 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",
"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"
}
However I'm trying to make it function more like the Android Market home screen, where you scroll vertically as opposed to horizontally.
I'm using Go Launcher EX and as far as I've gathered none of the launchers I've tried have the option to scroll vertically.
Does anyone know of any launchers that have that ability?

Nice!
When you manage to get that thing together i will test drive the hell out of it for you. Windows 7 themed launcher moves up and down. There may be others though so don't quote me on it

I tried Win 7 Launcher previously but you're only limited to tiles 1x1 or 1x2 & some of the tiles that come preconfigured are locked onto the screen (i.e you can't remove them).
Actually what I'm doing is nothing really more then creating tiles & placing them onto the screen. I wish though that I did know how to create a launcher, I'm just using a pre-existing one, though none have the vertical scrolling feature that I would like.

Can you decompile it make the necessary mods repack sign and test? I know I am making it sound easy. I know nothing of developing so I can be of much help.

You got me there bro as I don't know jack when it comes to Android programming/code.
I'm just your basic android user

Dude have you already found yourself a vertical scrolling launcher? I want exactly what you described. It would be AWSOME with desktop visualizer.
Please let me know

No luck as of yet. Hopefully one off the existing launchers will incorporate that function in the future

Request
Why not send out some request to the devs of some of the launchers I am sure someone can make it for you.

Well it is a vertical launcher but after messing with it for awhile it does not allow me to remove the preset icons (you can only remove ones you create) & if using tiles you cannot get them to align in such a manner that they touch end to end. I was hoping to use the launcher to create tiles of my own using Desktop Visualizer. This is what I have created using Go Launcher, just want the home screens to scroll vertically. My ultimate goal is to create a home screen that scrolls vertically & create something that looks very similar to the Android Market:

I have send an email to the golauncher developers too and vot one back. But i think it's just a standard reply so i don't expect any luck there
EL TEJANO i want exactly the same thing. I've spend so many hours on the Internet searching with no luck. It's getting frustrating. I really hope golauncher or any other good launcher like ADW or Launcher Pro can add this function

So this thread is dead now?

SS launcher in the market is what you seek...

Try lightning launcher in the market its a nice one for sometimes like this.

Apex Launcher from the market also has vertical scrolling, and the option to change the transparency of the black background in the app drawer, pretty cool
