This is my first smartphone, so nothing fancy so far.
Also, I can't get the large BW clock to work (it doesn't fit the date and weather text in the box), so I'm just using the smaller version.
original fascinate x-ray by rltripp on androidcentral.
made this one so its scale for our screens, should look like your looking at an xray of what is right beyond the screen
this is just put in the right format for our phones if you want to see the whole xray:
w00t it does work! So I'm very new to smart phones, though I tech savvy as a mofo. So this is my first go at customizing my SF. Let me know if i forget to label something please.
Using Launcher Pro Free which I mostly used to change the dock, get rid of extra screens I don't need (yet =P), and to hide bloatware. I have Battery Indicator Pro up top in the notification bar and Beautiful Widget on my main screen for clock and weather.
Hehe I just previewed my post - it looks nice =P
quick question - to post the screenies, I did what someone above mentions which was upload them to picasa. Then I just right clicked and copied location and pasted that to the 'Insert Image' prompt. That the right way to do it?
Nice. What background is that? Also, what are those toggle buttons?
Im a Droid X owner, and one thing that annoys the hell out of me is that it only shows the batterry percentage in 10% increments. I guess the SF does 1%?

I grabbed a few of the images Rimzy posted there but it won't let me use the full resolution image for the wallpaper and wants me to crop it....which kind of defeats the purpose of getting a hi-res background in the first place. I'm presuming I'm missing a step here....HALP!

I found the background under the patterns category in the Backgrounds App.
Also, the toggle buttons came with the phone. I don't think it's directly a samsung widget since I use Launcher Pro and can't use those.

You need to stretch the little orange box by grabbing one of the edges.
The Following User Says Thank You to beenz For This Useful Post:
Using Launcher Pro Docks (many styles) and Icons (many color choices); keeping the screen simple and uncluttered as always. I have a calendar and weather and other things on different screens; this is the home screen:
I like all of the widgets on your screens. How are you able to have different shortcuts at the bottom, is this LPP paid version options?
Nice setup.
Even the free version of LP gives you 3 dock screen for 15 display icons and each icon has a touch and a swipe shortcut possibility so you can actually have 30 shortcuts. All you have to do to change a shortcut is long press it and follow the on screen directions. Might have to go into preferences>dock settings to turn on all 3 docks
Apps: SwiFTP; Is an app that allows you to access your phone's files wireless, via your laptop pc. Gmote; An app that allows you to control your laptop from your phone. Input destination folders you wish you access. [Music/Videos/Pictures] and play them on your computer, from your phone. Can also be used as a mouse. Dolphin Browser HD; Self explanatory. Just a different web browser.
New theme!
So after looking at everyone's awesome customized themes on their SF.
It got me jealous and curious. So I got the Launcher Pro. I downloaded those dreamlyfe themes (the free ones of course, 'cause I'm not paying).
Customized it to my liking and I have to say, it's so much better.
Background: Live "Galactic Core." Free from Android Market.
You'll notice that my dock says "monster" in it. All I did was open the original dock image from the dreamlyfe lux or w/e and colored over the name, and wrote monster. :]
Left screen: Facebook widget.
various icons. FB, Tumblr, Twitter, Email.
MSN Droid, AIM, Yahoo Messenger, Youtube.
Middle (Home): "The Weather" widget, free from Market.
Various icons; Camera, video player, gallery, music player
Android Market, Gmote, swiFTP, task manager.
I think most of us here are using launcher pro, at least i am, not rooted, and it is pretty great!
Yeah I'd say we/this forum collectively is 70% LP, 20% ADW and 10%TW.
Well I finally got one board the BW train. This is about as much flash as you're getting from me.
I spoke too soon looks like I've be using the smaller home weather.
Although I am tempted by this look
Very plain jane but very good battery life I suppose

I love it because the icons can be changed out with whatever you want at the bottom (Must create a custom short cut and then drag) and the actual icons light up, and in that samsung blue. By far my FAVORITE dock.
Just keep in mind you NEED ADW launcher.
You can also get it in pink, white and red, but you have to pay for each. Im thinking about grabbing the white one..but im not sure yet.
Oh man, you ROCK!!! This app is PERFECT!! Thank you VERY much. Uploading now.
Lock Screen (Thanks to all for suggesting lock widget)
Home
Photo/video screen plus GF
Misc/"I dont know what to do with this screen" screen
Music Screen
Social Networking screen
Previews
Gotta say, I LOVE ADW and its flexibility. Although I do like launcher pro more, it doesnt have the illuminated dock and the icons are VERY off center for the official Sense docks.
And yes...I do like sense...a LOT!!!

Nice shots. I can tell you will have a ShootMe addiction like I do. Whenever anyone on the forums has a question if I can show them with a screen shot I do. I have over 80 shots in my gallery of ShootMe shots. Terrific app
Nothing super exciting here- I'm using a downloaded theme (one for breast cancer awareness this month, as October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and it seemed fitting. The clock and weather is beautiful Widgets, and the calendar widget is Jorte, which I LOVE, set at total transparency so it looks great no matter WHAT background I have up.
I have my phone set with only one screen, as I like it better that way, and am using Panda Home 2, with dock bars.
Inspired by the "Android 7" design tutorials that mimic the "Windows 7" mobile layout, I spent some time creating photo-gallery icons for my normal homescreen apps.
I'm running LauncherPro on an unrooted DROID Incredible.
I cut down to just five homescreens... just don't need more than that right now.
Homescreens from left to right:
My Games home. For this and all of the homescreens I used only Desktop Visualizer widgets of various sizes. Most of them link to their respective apps, but the headers of homescreens 1, 2, 4, and 5 all link to specified Smart Shortcuts, which pops up a separate "app drawer" that shows only the apps you designate for that category. It works so much better than using folders.
My Entertainment home. All Desktop Visualizer widgets.
This is the main home screen. All Desktop Visualizer widgets except for the SwitchPro Widget. For some reason I didn't like this one the first time I tried it during my last layout period. But it does EVERYTHING I need it to do. Right now I have it set up for: LED flashlight, Vibrate/Silent, Screen Brightness, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and 3G-Hotspot. For my current layout, I think it works really well.
Communications page using just Desktop Visualizer widgets.
The last homescreen... just a collection of some stuff that I use often enough to get a widget. Using only Desktop Visualizer, the header and the "Travel" widget link to Smart Shortcuts.
That's it! (Until I find the next awesome way of arranging things.)

The Samsung Fascinate is the Verizon version of the Samsung Galaxy S line of phones. Much like it's brothers, it includes the same 5.0MP camera capable of taking some of the best quality 720p HD video at 30fps. Unlike the other Galaxy S phones ... Read More
