Please post your Desire Home Screens in this thread.

Please also state, the names and descriptions of any apps or widgets that appear on your homescreens to avoid multiple questions. If your using an alternative launcher also let us know.
Have a cool wallpaper? also post it, or a link, to save multiple requests.
How do I take screenshots? (Thanks Lekky)

You need to be rooted to take screenshots, using an app called shootme. If you don't want to root you can still do it, but its rather drawn out, guide here How To Capture Screenshots With Your Android Mobile Phone


Here's mine HTC Desire Screen Shots

what's the Quota Usage thingy you have???

junkiepilot

3G Watchdog - You tell it your monthly allowance and it does the rest, pretty neat way of ensuring you dont go over your limit.

I'm really enjoying this thread, like what people have done. Mine is really basic compared to these efforts, well done.

choi

Lekky, what app gives you the widget with the volume controls for different things?

lekky

App is called audio manager

diS

Lekky can you also tell me what the 3th app is on the bottom. I see that it's a On/Off control for Bluetooth, Wifi and what's the 3th?

Thanks in advance

X-QlusioN

3rd is GPS...

Squash_man

great thread!

Lekky, what's the widgets that's used for those toggle on/off functions?

ukzen

When my phone is locked .i dont have a task bar at the top of the screen,is it a function i have to enable ,yes i am a noob.

reech

Those toggle on/off ones are on the HTC - or are they android? Anyway, to get 'em on the Desire , just ADD a widget to a homescreen, click Shortcuts, and there you are

speedycolzalez

OK, as this is turning onto a "Hey Lekky, what's that...?" thread I'm going to ask, what the bookmark widget is ?

markeas

What widget is that for the internet usage ?

gd123

Could someone expand on that a bit please = probably me but struggling to follow

Squash_man

LOL, I felt silly after reading that! But looked on my phone and couldn't find it. But I realised that I was being lazy and searched 'toggle' on the market.

johnintheuk

Hold down on a homescreen, click widget, click settings. You then get a list of toggles (Airplane Mode, Bluetooth, GPS, Mobile Network and Wi-Fi).

weirdNumber

The 'Power Control' widget is a good alternative, it has Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Sync and Brightness controls.

Thanks for the link Lekky. I've followed all the steps and have got to running the DDMS.BAT file and the Dalvik Debug Monitor launcing. However, it's not showing my device, or any device, on the Debug Monitor. Do you happen to know what I've done wrong off the top of your head? I don't want to be a hassle.

The phone is connected via USB. I've tried it mounted as a disk drive and charge only but it doesn't show up under either condition.

mcnob

This thread has gone a bit off-topic.......lol

Android phone users in general really need a good site that tells you everything you need to know about setting your phone up and the thousands of options available for personalisation and productivity/ease of use.

CorruptedSanity

one more off topic, lekky what theme/icons are you using?

junkiepilot

Try it in HTC Sync mode.

lekky

someone said it before i think, but its GPS

they are by curvefish, just search curvefish in the market and you'll see a list of their widgets

Hmm, does everyone else not have the taskbar on the lockscreen? I didn't set it manually but it may a side effect of something, let me know

It's the bookmarks widget for Dolphin HD browser app.

3G Watchdog

My guide kind of gives a start

The icons on screen main + 2 are these http://lab.iirojappinen.com/idroid/icons.zip

The others can be found in the market called:

-icon pack - ibox
-icon pack - ibox2
-icon pack - ibox3

They are applied using the File Organizer app.

Instead of sense i'm also using helixlauncher (on the market), lets you add those 4 tray icons along the bottom. But its not terribly stable, crashes quite a bit :/

Sorry for slight offtopicness here Lekky, but I too have considered these icons and icon packs. I didnt realise you need an app called File Organizer in order to apply them [I didnt really know how they were applied!].

However, do you need File Organizer ALWAYS running in the background in order for the icons to be maintained? i.e. if it was uninstalled after applying the icons, will the icons disappear too?

Also does anything at all need to run as an extra resource in the background in order to have these icons displaying other than default? i.e. I'd like changed icons but not by compromising memory utilisation.

Thanks!

p.s. I think its inevitable that a thread of this nature [e.g. post your PC/Mac desktop, HTC Homescreens] will bring questions about who's using what ....so its not compleeeetely offtopic.

p.p.s Really silly question here, I couldn't find a specific app called 'File Organizer' - did you mean just any file organiser? i.e. ASTRO? *EDIT* found it: http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.google.code.appsorganizer

Nope and nope, you can safely kill it.

Thank you!

<back on topic>

Now where are everyone else's screenshots?

czechplastik

Off topic again but I agree, I know I for one am only utilising Android by the smallest percentage of it's ability.

It's almost like some dark force withholding all it's secrets. Lekky's set up, while not to my tastes, really shows off what Android and the Desire is truly capable of.

There are guides here to some things but a website giving detailed info on how to produce results like that above would be really useful to lots of Android Noobs, myself included.

i3ubble

My homepages aren't anything special so just a quick post of them. Also, one of them has nothing on at the moment as I've been fiddling with them a bit so I haven't included it.

lekky

Love your wallpaper (can i have it pls ), but I've never been a big fan of the sense widgets.

Can i make some suggestions, i don't know if you prefer an agenda view of your appointments but 'android agenda widget' kinda has a sense theme going on:



and smooth calendar for the 1 line calendar widget as it allows multiple lines



Just in case you wanted to try them

zedstar

Sorry to ask Lekky another question
But the theme on your fone, where did you get it from...its wicked and would love to have it ??

i3ubble

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll definitely have a look, they do sound better than the standard sense widgets.

The wallpaper is by a Japanese artist, Aya Kato: cheval noir
Ridiculously amazing artist!

gd123

Okay, i Hve tried that and get similar on off toggle switches - but not the same and not as good.

They don't say on/off and they don't show red when turned off?

Any idea why they are different? ( And not as good looking)

mcnob

Lekky, it prob would have saved a lot of thread space if you'd just given a breakdown of every app/widget on there in the first place.

New thread rule there?

czechplastik

Lekky, love the wallpaper in this shot, where can I D/L the image?

weirdNumber

@Lekky I have been trying to change icons the way you have them. Using the App manager program that was posted further up the thread I can set a custom icon that links to a category so it opens a window with some apps I can launch rather than just launching the app I want straight away.
Is that the way it works on yours?

*edit*

I can achieve what I want by changing the Shortcut settings within Helix.

nx1977

Perhaps Lekky should just post up a link to his appbrain page? LOL

Mr.Derringer

can anyone tell me what the widget is 2nd from bottom that says, Update, Home Mentions, DM, Search?

Cheers

zedstar

Can anyone tell me what this theme is

username27

Can I use ASTRO for the icons? or should it be Apps Organizer?

lekky

Its called helixlauncher and is available on the market.

Thanks

The ones I used are by curvefish, search that name in the market.

Those 2 wern't actually my screenshots, just taken from the developer (thus the frenchness )

Actually app organizer only allows you to set folders, its twin app called folderorganizer adds on this by adding shortcuts, changing app icons etc.


Twicca, cool twitter client

Check the theme answer above, the wallpaper i created from an anime pic, if u want that i can post here



Sorry its not called file organzer my mistake.

Ther are 2, appsorganizer and folderorganizer. The first just lets u create folders and is free, the second basically lets you do anything and is paid, but very cheap.

weirdNumber

Haha ok, I guess the way I did it was the long way.

I created a category using Apps Organizer with my own icon. Added it to the shortcuts in Helix. Then configured helix and changed the shortcut manually to launch what I wanted rather than the Apps Organizer category. It kept the icon but launched a different app.

heh...

zedstar

Cheers Lekky for info on Theme, if you could post "the wallpaper i created from an anime pic" i would be gratefull .....its cool
How do i download it from here once you've posted it and get it on my phone ??

Thanks alot bud

lekky

browse to this site on your phone http://goo.gl/eQCI

then long press on the image and click save

lekky

Very quick guide on how to customise app icons with folderorganiser:

open folder organizer >
shortcuts tab >
press menu >
new shortcut >
folder organizer item >
apps >
select an app >
now long press on the new shortcut >

If you are using an icon pack from the market select icon packs.
If you are using an image from your sdcard pick andexplorer


Now on your desktop:

long press >
select shortcut >
folderorganizer item >
shortcuts>
select the shortcut you created.
