Share Your Homescreens/Screencaps!

**Rob** · May 2nd, 2011, 08:53 AM

How to take screen captures on the Droid Charge:
Hold down the BACK button and press the HOME key.

A billion "share your homescreen" and "screencap your XYZ" are sure to start... so I'll kick it off with an official thread and a few random screenies:

Post your homescreens/screencaps below!

Heres a couple quick ones I took.

potterdood · May 15th, 2011, 10:32 PM

where did you get the sort apps? I can't find it in the market.

Escapist26 · May 16th, 2011, 01:16 PM

Please excuse the mess I made out of the image sizes!

Outsider(Avid HustlaZ) · May 16th, 2011, 03:21 PM

Sorry I must be a damn fool - trying to post my home screen - I took picture, uploaded it to Picasa and now trying to share the image link here but it doesn't seem to work??!

stevehoffman · May 16th, 2011, 04:44 PM

If someone can help me (post reply or send PM), I am trying to share my home screen -- I know how to take a screen capture on my Droid Charge, and I know various ways to upload a photo from my phone (e.g., to Facebook, to Picasa, or to share via email), but I cannot figure out how to embed it in this forum ..... I'd appreciate if someone can tell me the simplest way to do this.

If this is a dumb question, I still gotta ask it.

steve -

PM me if you still want directions on how to do it or if the code part above doesn't make sense.

Stupid question, but I'm still learning. How did you all get the different clocks! I like them

Hi, I don't know if you were asking specifically about the old-fashioned-looking clock (like an old-style pocket-watch) shown on my home screen, but if you were, I got that from an app in the Android Market called Analog Clock Collection. Just go to the Android Market via your phone or even on your desktop or laptop and search for "Analog Clock Collection." Download and install for free.

Then to install the clock as a widget on your home screen, you long-press on a blank spot anywhere on the home screen -- that'll bring up options such as "Shortcuts ... Widgets ... &etc" Choose "Widgets" and then choose "Analog Clock Collection" ....

This is just one example, btw, of how easy (and fun) it can be to customize your Droid Charge phone (or any Android phone) ... there are so many apps and widgets you can add to your home screens, available either for free or for a very small charge .... Definitely make sure you've got a Google Account and registered on the Android Market to have access to all these ....

Hope this helps ...

NICE!!! Those speeds are fantastic, but OUCH the latencies are terrible.

Its called touchwiz app sorter. It requires root and it rearranges your apps in alphabetical order so they are not all over the place.

What launcher are you using and clock? Looks nice.

Ghetto_Cowgirl · May 29th, 2011, 11:17 PM

Go Launcher ex: sfNewGlass is the clear icons, Purple Glass is the purple icon theme.

FancyWidget for my clocks/weather

Sintec · May 31st, 2011, 12:45 PM

Just a couple shots...I like to keep things simple and clean. All the apps I normally use are on the dock and I just scroll through the 3 different docks drawers.

Launcher Pro (Paid)
BobClockD3 Clock Widget
Extended Controls Widget
Wallpaper from Flikie
Icons & Dock from Customer Launcher Icons

Here are some screenshots of the Droid Charge in the same areas of Seattle, I tested the LG Revolution with inferior results, Don't know why... The Charge gets 3 times the download throughput as the LG Revolution.

least busy screen set up ftw

Walla !

Halcyon · June 5th, 2011, 03:20 PM

Here are my latest.

Rominucka · June 5th, 2011, 03:57 PM

Halcyon I love it. Super super classy and smart. Nice and dark so to conserve on battery.
I'm still working on the animated console room and tardis lock screen pic. I had to start from scratch with the lock screen cause scaling it up for larger screens looked bad. I am a bit busy though. I just started working for Verizon as a rep and I have to do lots of homework on prices and their proprietary computer system.

droidem · June 6th, 2011, 01:31 PM

Using: GO Launcher EX
Widgets: SiMi Clock, standard Power control widget

jlapenna · June 6th, 2011, 04:06 PM

Where did you get the pink icons??

twistedlim · June 7th, 2011, 09:28 AM

Just keeping the home screen simple. Screen caputre is a pretty cool built in:

Thanks! I took the photo at Glacier Point in Yosemite. That is the famous Half Dome. The cables were down so we could not trek up to the top.

GunnerJim · June 8th, 2011, 11:08 PM

twistedlim, that is an awesome screenshot! It looks so real and detailed, you had to use a better camera than a phone to take that shot, the Charge makes it look great as well.

rdalev · June 11th, 2011, 10:53 PM

Using Beautiful Weather, extended control. Wallpaper from Zedge.

2Much2Ask4 · June 12th, 2011, 02:30 AM

I liked your theme and the Clock as well looks like in grid numbers.
I downloaded that go launcher ex and then i looked at the tron theme's none had that wiget for clock only the basic theme.

Can you advise which ones or links to how you built that ... i really loved the whole aspect of your theme.

GunnerJim · June 16th, 2011, 11:33 PM

Rdalev, Beautiful Screenshot! You may want to lose that Lookout, I have read post after post on how that eats the memory up badly, I deleted my Lookout app and Advanced Task Killer, and noticed a huge speed improvement, IMO.

Thanks ! As far as Lookout, I've read it's one of the better Anti-virus programs out and have read articles recently that hackers are starting to move from pc's to smartphones.............better safe than sorry. As far as any lag, I came from the Eris, so if there's any lag I don't notice it.

Concerning ATK, I read pros and cons concerning this app, and now having a Task Manager built-in, I'll probably lose ATK !
