Though newone757 recommends adding them to home screen as widgets
good guide. But i might recommend adding them to homecreen as a widget instead of shortcut. That way when you change icons in the app they automatically update on the homescreen without recreating all your shortcuts

also for anyone that didnt know. You can save your icon setups in folder organizer. hit menu then export and name your file. to recall it just import it, and restart the phone, boom, just like you left them. I always save my theme before i start editing icons again

You can download icons packs from the market or below

Wow! Highs in 102 degrees?! i would melt!

not hot. i got up to 110 f while charging and downloading. my laptop runs at about 145f when im working it good. dont see why a cellphone couldnt handle those temps. technically my macbook is rated to handle about 212f before maybe shutting off...

and get real, many places in the US get over 100 f during the summer. chips are made to well out stand those temps...

ok im new to all this.. So i took the picture using the Shootme app. Question is now how do i get it here. Is there a certain app yall are using to access ur SD Card folders and then uploading it to this site??

All the fotos you took by shaking your phone :p ended on your SD card, so just connect the phone using the USB cable that came with it - then on the drop down menu of the EVO choose DISK DRIVE - that should get you to see Removable drive in your My Computer, inside that is a Shootme folder containing your fotos. Now just upload. I used TinyPic.com

^^depends which screen youre talkin.

main things of note are perhaps the launcher (ADW.Launcher) in place of the sense/stock launchers. and bettercut (not free), and free iconpacks in market to change Home screen icons/names.

majority of those shots were accomplished using only that. the clock widget varies too, beautiful home is perhaps the most popular. And digital clock widget is simple and free
