What do your X Screens look like?

Anyone knows a way to remove some of the notifications on top?

The notifications on the right side are all system or system app related.

Get rid of the clock by turning off your system alarm. I recommend replacing it with AppAlarm Pro. The free version works also but you have to turn your alarm on everyday, with Pro you set recurring alarms. It is the only alarm I have used for about 6 months and it has never let me down, and I wake up to pandora every morning (you can actually choose any app) instead of the same sound/song all the time.

The phone with the lines on the sides is for vibrate mode. The best solution if you want to icon for that is to set ringer volume to 1 and enable vibrate. You may be able to use tasker to disable sound and leave vibrate on with no notification icon, but I am not sure.

The arrows in a circle is your auto sync (gmail, contacts, calendar, etc) that should go away on its own. If it never goes away try a reboot, it should only be on periodically.

I don't know how to get rid of the others, if I could I would. I wish I could get rid of my battery icon as I use battery left widget.

I don't really use TiBu much but I did read somewhere that if you do a full backup and restore or something along those lines the sync icon will not go away. Maybe someone with a little more knowledge about it could help you out, but if it doesn't go away like chris says then something is not functioning correctly.

Thanks for your suggestions. The only one that's bothering me is the sync icon. I tried turning sync off using the power widget, rebooting, and played around with the gmail settings and it still wont go away...

I did use TiBu's full backup and restore o_O; Anyone ever experienced this issue?

I did a little search for you because I remember seeing this before. Hope these helps.

Regarding sync icon... I had it yesterday, and the reason why is because with TiBu I restored all app+system data. That icon wouldn't go away and it drove me nuts. So, I did factory reset again and restored only missing apps and sync Icon never came back.

If you restore with TiBu only restore missing apps with data or you will have sync problems and maybe this problem

There are probably more, these were just the first few that came up on my search.

Trying to figure out how to make bigger.

Where'd you get the orange icons? I tried to find some, but they were either ugly, too small, or the pack didn't have all the ones I needed. I hate trying to remember what I substituted!

P.S. Last night sucked! Hopefully, we can do something tonight and gain some ground on SD and CO.

Here are four of my five starting with the second screen (which is made up of contacts). The far left screen isn't included because I'm still working it. There are several productivity and settings widgets that I have on that screen, and I'm trying to get the layout for them to match up with the rest. I also haven't gotten around to fooling with the dock yet, but that's on the to do list.

Ok, I'll bite. How'd you do that layout?
