Obligatory Screenshots/Homescreens Thread
It's always nice to have somewhere to share your customized homescreens. I tend to start with things pretty stock and work my way towards something more unique. So far I only have the battstatt widget and stock clock widget. Hit up

Yeah that's usually as complicated as I'll make it. I don't like too much clutter. Love the folders in stock Android.

While I do like the new clock, I haven't incorporated it yet.

I might see if they can port over landscape mode from the Nexus 7 so I can keep the stock launcher and use landscape on my homescreens.

Yes it's true
If I didn't like the new lock screen so much I would go back to WidgetLocker. This is the first time I have not used WidgetLocker on a phone since it was released over 2 years (and about 4 phones) ago. I do wish I could change the wallpaper though, that is my only complaint.

Here is my home screen. That is a live wallpaper. Matrix type, but it says "Dallas Cowboys" if you look closely

I used to have live wallpaper that showed my album art falling from top to bottom and if you touched an album it would flip over to reveal a different album. I can't find this in the play store now. There is 1 album art live wallpaper app but it's not the same and doesn't look as good imo. It takes up the whole screen. Anybody know how to get that old one back?

Honestly I prefer this way of doing screenshots than any other phone that uses the home button. It just feels natural.

Battery is looking pretty low. Too bad you can't swap it for a new one.

It's a widget for a flashlight app. I don't need it often, but if i'm in a situation where I need a flashlight it's handy to have it on the homescreen for easy access.

So Portal is one of my favorite game franchises of all time and ive always wanted to theme my phone like it was a company phone from Aperture (the research facility that you try to escape from) that belonged to a scientist, so here's my take on it. Hope you guys like it

Finally decided to customize it more. Stock Android is beautiful, but if you're going to buy a top of the line Android phone you might as well make it stand out haha. I took the glass icons theme idea from chrlswltrs and the background from lunatic59. Not exactly original on my part, but I quite like the end result.

Because that is the beauty of Android. You can customize your device as little or as much as one would like.

Because Nova launcher is built on the stock launcher. It is the same with just a few extra options like folders in the app drawer, vertical app drawer scrolling, you can remove the Google search bar from the top of the launcher, and you can use an icon theme (there are other options, but those are the main reason I use it)
If it makes you feel any different, it is the only launcher on my phone (stock one is gone)
