What Does Your Epic 4G Screen Look Like?

[ImNotYourGirlfriend]

You all have given me some real inspiration for my phone! Everytime I try to customize mine, my 4 year sneaks my phone and well - new game icons are everywhere. Though, he's quite the smartie and has figured out how to change the wallpaper to his doodles. <3

Nate, where did you get those Launcherpro text icons from?

These are pretty easy to make. Download a trial copy of photoshop if you dont have it. Throw a text layer or 2 on top of a transparent background. Maybe add a drop shadow. Save as a transparent PNG (24/32bit).

I am using Launcher Pro and sure would like to figure out how to change the icons in the dock to ones that have color. Also when I tap the person icon it says "could not launch the requested activity" I am using a Samsung Epic

If you press and hold one of the dock icons you'll get options. Choose change shortcut and choose the same app. You'll then get icon options. Choose the default unless you have custom ones you uploaded. Then you can just do the change icon. But if going stock, just redo the shortcut.

This is all I see when I try it like that. Any help?

Unless you've loaded your own icons, you need to select "Change Shortcut" in the previous menu. Then you can choose the same app and just use the stock icon which will have color. You're still using the stock setup that came with Launcher Pro.

You're not changing the icon of the existing dock selection. You chose "Change Icon" instead of "Change Shortcut".

Thanks, now I got it.

Here's my home screen so far, I am still tweaking it and adding/moving stuff around, but this is a start (see below).

Anyone using LP know how I can get the battery widget in the center? Also, how do I change/and or resize the font under the icons? As some are cut-off, with the text. TIA!

Here is my home page setup currently:

I also like these backgrounds as well, I usually rotate them quite often...

That is the "Gauge Battery Widget". You can set up the notification in the notification bar.

Just got my epic yesterday on craigslist for $120 New!!! Haven't really had a chance to customize yet but here is what I got.

I used a program called screenshots to capture the images. Whats weird is that program requires the phone to be rooted to work and mine isnt.

Beautiful job. Very clean. Which launcher is that? and the power control widgets?

Thanks! It is Launcherpro Plus with TallMin icons by Lekky.

You can find the icon sets here: Droid Den - Android: TallMin Icon Set - Droid Den. They come in MANY different colors now, I have them all and am using the white version.

The widget at the bottom of the screen is switchpro (which is a paid app). I love it, it makes it so easy and you can put up to 8 options showing at a time.

Thanks man.

Okay, fine. I'll bite.

How on earth did you get it for only $120 new? Considering off-contract it's ~$600, and on it's at least ~$199. Did it fall off the back of a truck?

 

[Jude72]

This is a mock up I did on Photoshop. I've not got my Epic yet but this is what I'd like it to look like if I had it now.

Icons are by UltraLinx...I just changed the colors.

This is another mock up I've done....I guess I'm just too keen to get my hands on the phone.

I was looking for an evo when I saw an ad for an epic. The add stated the phone was $250 obo. I told the person that All I have is $120. They said they would accept that amount. When I finally met the person the next day she looked very rough like she came from the worst part of the city. She had tatoos of guns and other stuff on her arms. At this point I was thinking thaT i WAS GOING TO GET ROBBED. When I greeted her she was very nice and let me see the phone to make sure it was new. I asked her if it was ok to check the ESN and she said, go right ahead. I looked for the number on the box to confirm it was clean. As I as doing this she said peeop can switch the boxes f I opened the phone and checked it on the inside. When that was done I counted the money in front o her and we parted ways. CAN WE SAY CONTRADICTIONS

Quick setup just got the phone yesterday.. similar to my evo.

What calendar app is that?

 

[JMiller613]

Where did you find the wallpaper?

 

[allhailcale]

Round two of LP, this time with custom wallpaper and dock. Sorry, can't remember where I found them...

 

[Eazail70x7]

How did you get that weather widget? What is it called?

How were you able to edit your folder icons? I was trying to do it through better cut and couldn't figure it out?
