I've seen threads like this at other forums...and might as well add one here...post your home screens if you like. I've seen some clever ideas from others, and it gives people a chance to see what other launchers, widgets, etc. look like on the phone.

There is free screen capture software available on the Market via an app called ShootMe...the developer says it's for rooted phones, but it seems to work okay on the V without rooting.

ScreenShot It also works...there is a five pic free trial.

Retro Date
Widgetsoid switcher to lock the screen
Mute Widget
Launcher Pro dock

Yeah...I like Retro Clock and Car Dock Home v3 I see there as well...I'm still using the stock launcher...borrrrring...I know. I'm still sorting through what apps I do and don't want on the home screen...and the phone.

RocketFoot

Here is my current home screen:



GoLauncher
FlipClock Black Out
Clockr (I know...why two clocks? I just love them both and couldn't decide! LOL)

If you want to post your home screen, use the capture app in the first post, then paste the image using the picture icon in the reply entry.

You'll need to locate the saved screen capture image on your SD Card. Then publish that image to the web using a service like tinypic.com, Photobucket, Flickr, or another site. Copy the url of the published image from that site into the image URL box here, which is the small yellow box with the mountains in the toolbar above where text is entered here at AF. That will link to the image you published, and in turn post it here.

TVCCS

The [IMG] tags need to be at the beginning and end of the image URL, and only one http://. There also needs to be the extension that identifies it as an image...such as .jpg or .png.

The procedure I outlined before uses the "Direct Link" option in Photobucket for the image to be pasted here through the photo icon. You can also paste the image's URL directly as an embedded image using the IMG code option...if you do that, you don't have to use the image box here to paste the URL.

Edit it if you can, and you should see the image appear.

And...try and work off your original post...instead of adding a new post every time as you experiment.

This is my first smart phone. I'm still learning all of the bells and whistles but I'm very happy with it so far!

TVCCS

What battery widget is that?

theWolfTamer

BatteryLife

David, that's pretty cool, what widget is this??

I don't like a lot of crap on my main screen. Zeam launcher & FlipClock nice grey:



I am a huge fan of Retro clock/date too!

David73

Fancy widget pro.. launcherpro icons and docks

David73

I also get the majority of my wallpapers from ZEDGE

dreahdreah

can you share or point me in the direction of that wall paper please? thanks

dreahdreah

maybe i need to play around with the phone a little more. but i was only able to get the 4x2 flip clock and on the very bottom row i put 4 applications, how were you able to make all this fit? doesnt give me the option to add anything else.

theWolfTamer

I don't know. I just followed the instructions. I went to where all the apps were, pressed and held then that screen went away and the home page I was on showed up. I put the icon where I wanted it. The page I posted is full so nothing else will get on it. If I got to the apps listing and press and hold while I'm on that page, it won't let me add anything to it. I have to put it on another page with more room.

melim

Here you go; enjoy!

dreahdreah

super weird..it was just that main screen, i didnt have any problems with the other ones. we are trying out golauncher and it worked just fine on all screens.

GWDavis28

Root, is that a minutes charge app??

Glenn |B)

r00t

It's the Minutes Checker app that shows you your current balance, minutes used, and when the next payment is due on your Talk Beyond plans.

GWDavis28

Cool, does it work well??

Glenn |B)

TVCCS

Minutes Checker is the Android app no VM customer should be without, unless you're on the Unlimited Plan. Very handy, indeed.

melim

This had to be immortalized, not because it's particularly interesting, but because of the battery level after more than an hour off the charger:

DBNissan

lou61166

Very basic!!!

GWDavis28

So, what launcher and icon set/theme is that?

Nice on the battery level by the way!!

Glenn |B)

r00t

Yup works pretty good, it also tells you the minutes usage while you're on a call. I just wish it didn't think you entered the wrong password when you have no data connection. Maybe I should contact the developer about that...

hemplacrosse4

What app is that where you can see your battery percentage underneath the clock?

DBNissan

That's part of the Fancy Widget app

Trilla

I believe it's "Gauge Battery Widget"

My bad

DBNissan

I think they were asking about the percentage next to the date, under the time.

The gauge meter is the Gauge Battery Widget app

GWDavis28

I loaded it up and your right, it's a great app. Love it!!!

Thanx again, Glenn |B)

The dock is Orbz II drawer icon
Icons are from Manup Clean text icons
The dock itself is bit of stainless dropshadow'ed.
The Wallpaper is a satin background I found somewhere.
The weather/time widgets are Beautiful Widgets, with a transparent theme combined with Widget Locker.

It's cold where you live.

I'm boring:



And I'm thinking of getting rid of the 4x1 Google thing. I really don't use it much.

GWDavis28

That was the first thing I dumped.

It's just Zeam. The icons in the dock are "actions" in Zeam. The clock/battery is Advanced Clock Widget.

Rezin, would you mind sharing that wallpaper? I have a similar one but it only has three mushrooms or whatever they are.

zrobot

I admit this is unoriginal, but I like it for now. I'm still trying to find the right icons for the home screen. Just going by most-commonly-used and new-and-shiny for now.
