Let's see your "Incredible" layout (Pun intended)

lgldrgdlr · May 1st, 2010, 12:39 AM

So here's the deal. We want to see what you've done with your DInc. . . widgets, apps, wallpapers, etc. Taking a screen shot is pretty much a necessity, but if you can't get it to work, take a pic and post that. Instructions for a screen shot are below. If you're having issues, feel free to ask but don't turn this into a "How do I take a screen shot thread".

To take a screen shot:

-Download the SDK from here: Android SDK | Android Developers and
-Once SDK is downloaded, run "SDKSetup.exe" and install platform 2.1 and
the drivers if necessary. If you've already downloaded HTC Sync, you
should have the drivers. If not, go here: http://www.htc.com/us/support/droid-incredible-verizon/downloads/
-Enable USB debugging on your phone:
menu>settings>applications>development>check USB debugging
-After you have downloaded the SDK and HTC Sync, navigate to the tools folder of the SDK, right-click on the "ddms.bat" file and send to desktop as a shortcut. When you click on it from the desktop, the debug monitor will open.
-In the new window that opens you should see your device listed. Select it
and then click device>screen capture.

You now have a pic of your screen.

If you have problems follows the steps I have posted, this may be helpful:
--Windows: http://www.simplehelp.net/2009/07/21/how-to-take-screenshots-of-your-android-based-phone-from-windows/
--Mac: http://www.simplehelp.net/2009/07/23/how-to-take-screenshots-of-your-android-based-phone-from-os-x/

Here's a few guidelines for posting to make things a little simpler for those inquiring about what they're looking at and how to find it:

---If you use Appbrain, please include a link. If not, list the widgets and apps that you're showing.
---If you need to quote an image, make sure you're only quoting the ONE image you are asking
about. Just delete the other images.
---If you have apps/widgets that aren't readily available (BUT NOT PAID
APPS/CLOSED BETA/COPYWRITTEN!!) try to post a dl link to help others out.
---And just use a little forum courtesy.

Great idea i'll post mine but i just cleared all my screens so i could customize them all,.. it's going to be awhile

lgldrgdlr · May 1st, 2010, 12:55 AM

Yeah I thought it might be a bit early. Most people are probably changing their screens 3 times a day still, but oh well.

J913B · May 1st, 2010, 02:17 AM

What news app are you using? Also, where are those volume (I assume volume) sliders from?

You now have a pic of your screen.

So here's mine. . .

Great layout!

How's your battery life?

jasonb1985 · May 1st, 2010, 02:21 AM

Seven screens was tough for me to fill. I will try to get some captures of mine tomorrow.

AppBrain list, please. At least for those apps that are meaningful to that layout.

It's the genie widget. Here's a link to dl: GenieWidget.apk

The "sliders" are audio manager. You can find it in the market.

hth715 · May 1st, 2010, 08:14 AM

I cant get the debugger to recognize my phone is connected. I have it as charge via usb in the connection setting.

lgldrgdlr · May 1st, 2010, 08:18 AM

you can leave it charging, no problem. you enabled debugging in the dev menu?

Here you go:

Also, make sure you have the Untrusted sources checked.

woop · May 1st, 2010, 10:57 PM

Cool idea. I like your layout. I would post mine but I'm too lazy to go through the steps

~~BetterMost~~ · May 1st, 2010, 11:11 PM

Here is mine

TheSultan · May 1st, 2010, 11:17 PM

hey man....Matt Campretz might not want his name all over the internet. When you guys are posting screens, be sensitive to the anonymity thing.

If he wanted anonymity he wouldn't be on facebook, just sayin'.

JCasper · May 1st, 2010, 11:52 PM

So, you have the gallery app? Don't want to hijack the thread, but I don't have that on my inc. Seems like I had it before I factory reset it.... Everyone else have it?

that's not entirely true, just sayin. Facebook allows you to chose who sees what. And, I expect that anything I post on Facebook, stays on Facebook, not copied to some other site.

patkicks10 · May 1st, 2010, 11:57 PM

need app for MAC!!!

jbuck1984 · May 2nd, 2010, 09:14 PM

I know this was started a while back but I couldn't find it. Now that everyone has been playing around with their phones all weekend lets see what you got.

Note:Need help for my last page. It's going to be my games page primarily but I want a fun widget that takes up half a page.

I would post mine, but I am a newbie and have no idea. So request sticky and get this going!!!

nyjetsfan28 · May 2nd, 2010, 10:01 PM

I keep changing this, which is part of the greatness of the phone, being the flexibility.

Anyways right now I have...

Email Widget
Bookmark Widget
Peep Widget
Home
Favorites Widget
Folders (Games, Shopping, News, Download, Tools)
Weather Widget

fish2587 · May 2nd, 2010, 10:23 PM

any actual screenshots people want to post?

jcramer83 · May 2nd, 2010, 10:45 PM

is there an app for screenshots?

soulfetcher13 · May 3rd, 2010, 07:33 AM

Open home and other home replacements give you a screen shot option, but I found with my old Eris it didn't like sense UI. The Eris had an option to disable sense and use stock Android home but the incredible does not. Perhaps there is something in the market specifically for screenshots?

mister_tu · May 3rd, 2010, 07:49 AM

Home has mail, gmail, messages, people, calendar, camera, internet, fb

Favorites, Bookmarks, Pandora/Slacker/Mediaplayer (Media Page), FB/YT/Google Search, FriendStream, Photo album

How did you get rid of the soft buttons at the bottom of the screen to gain the extra screen real state?

lgldrgdlr · May 3rd, 2010, 05:27 PM

The toggle bar is called power control, it's stock on the phone. Clock/weather is beautiful home (smaller) with wrigley field skin. SMS is pure messenger. And I'm running helix instead of sense.

helix instead of sense? please explain! I thought we were stuck with sense.

Has anyone found anything similar to "People" by HTC that has a horizontal orientation instead of a vertical (or is there some way to change it)?

lgldrgdlr · May 3rd, 2010, 05:37 PM

There are numerous home replacements to be found in the market. Get homeswitcher as well and you can jump between the two or however many you have.

I cant find beautiful home? It's not beautiful nature home is it?

Beautiful widgets app. Buy it.

It is called "Beautiful Widgets"

Ok so if I install Helix, for example, is Sense still going to be running/consuming resources?

I just changed the message to one where she wasn't before I got the screen cap :P

Kitten Mittens · May 3rd, 2010, 11:13 PM

Do you have the 3D app launcher? I am still getting used to sense, but the one thing I hate is the ugly bar at the bottom! I would love to replace it with the nexus one style 3D app launcher.

Mjcanton · May 3rd, 2010, 11:15 PM

Can you still use Sense Widgets with Helix Launcher 2

lgldrgdlr · May 3rd, 2010, 11:18 PM

Don't know about launcher 2, I'm using the original and no, they're no longer available. You can find many suitable replacements for many of them though, and I don't miss them.

Piercing Heavens · May 4th, 2010, 02:40 AM

I did not know you could make a smaller "Favorites" list. I know what I'm doing next

Here is mine taken with pictures from my storm.

Also added what my Handcent looks like simply because it is the screen I see as much as the home screen.

Home Screen

Left 1 Apps

Left 2 Friend Stream

Left 3 Bookmarks

Right 1 Favorites

Right 2 Streaming Media

Right 3 Options/Tools

Handcent Thread List

Handcent Chat

tranceFusion · May 4th, 2010, 08:38 AM

i wish there was a way to make the favorites widget something other than full page or a vertical bar.. like horizontal for instance..

jrenewill · May 4th, 2010, 09:49 AM

How do you make your favorites smaller???
