Do you use all your homescreens?

[Elpelco]

I was thinking that when the time comes for me to get a new phone, it'd have to be an HTC with sense because I love all the little extra bits you get with it. For one thing I use all 7 of the homescreens.

I was just wondering what y'all have on yours?

On my main screen I've got: Camera (shortcut),
HTC clock widget,
Bonsai blast (shortcut)
Pic say pro (shortcut)
Googlemail (shortcut)
Chomp sms (shortcut)
Tasks (shortcut)
Bible (shortcut)
People (shortcut)
Weather widget

Then:

Left1: Peep widget (large)
Left2: Calendar widget (large)
Left3: Albums widget

Right1: Jewellust, Facebook, BBC news,wordpress, Cardio trainer, Listen, Netcounter, Market, NOte everything and GKCD shortcuts, and ringer toggle, wi-fi switch, live book marks and audio manager widgets.

Right2:HCT people widget (large. New version)
Right3: Large mixzing widget (large)

Just curious, I'm always on the lookout for good widgets.

I just use 3 to be honest (another reason why I'd love stock Android on the phone).

On th emain screen I have a large clock, then the main phoen functions as 4 icons: Contacts, Messages, Mail and Market

Left of that I have the weather, the four toggle swtiches for data, bluetooth, wifi and GPS and a small HTC calendar widget

On the right I have a large bookmarks tab. Everfything else I just use the apps link at the bottom

 

[daveybaby]

Yup.

1 (far left): weather widget
2: bookmarks widget (text list)
3: mostly empty, just some apps organiser shortcuts
4 (middle): flip clock, calendar widget, messages/mail/ak notepad/people
5: favourite contacts widget, camera/clock/camcorder/music albums/facebook/twidroid/browser
6: mostly apps - e.g. google maps, gps status, wifi analyzer, copilot, picsay pro, etc
7 (far right): config & setup stuff - e.g. mobile data/wifi/gps/bluetooth widgets, market, app manager, atrackdog, taskpanel x

It was all getting a bit crowded, but then i discovered apps organiser.

Well I luv my 7 screens especially as I have different home screen piccies for each screen just slide from one to the other to look at them...I know how sad...oh of course for another reason as well to use my many Apps and Widgets sprawled all over them. Trouble is I keep changing my mind what Apps to put where so I have to keep play hunting the App lol

I think it's part of a one of the new HTC updates. I got it when I installed modaco 2.9.

 

[mwilson1987]

Yeah I'd really like a large people widget - don't have modaco so can I not get it then?

 

[lekky]

Yeah, although the far left one just has some photo frames, and there a a couple with space waiting for a bloo widget

 

[jimeller]

I have one page full of folders set up as categories. I just put all my apps in those, never use the menu screen anymore.

How did you manage to to screen shots of your phone.

 

[mjcook1984]

theres an app on the market called screen capture but your phone needs to be rooted for it to work

Just wondering where you have got some of your widgets from - guessing from rooting your Hero?

 

[golder]

Yeah I use all 7 screens and as a result it's very slow half the time.

 

[Nighthaunt]

Gods I use all 7 home screens - HTC calendar - HTC peep Twitter client - HTC email client - clock with weather WiFi etc widgets - favorites HTC app - HTC bookmarks app - then mini music app and shortcuts to games.

The people widget isn't standard

You've inspired me to add the music widget. it just looks nice

 

[daffyduck]

The people widget you are using isn't standard, in that it is full screen. Mine just scrolls downwards & takes up half the screen width.

 

[mjcook1984]

as far as i can remember its been there since the latest htc update and tmobile update.

 

[daffyduck]

Well, the full screen people widget definitely isn't on my Hero & and this is running pure Vanilla HTC rom.

I think it was updated in an HTC update. So if you haven't downloaded that, you won't have it.

 

[daffyduck]

Well, not sure then, as I am running 2.73.405 rom.

Iirc the "new" People widget was pulled from a later Asian 2.73.xxx.x release and included in the MCR.
