Post your Android Desktop

Hi, Kaessa. I sincerely love your text icons on your layout. Looks very neat and elegant. Here's my newbie question. If I download from the links on the bottom of your post, how do I get them on my phone? I'm using Sense but I'm trying to decide if I like GDE.
Thanks for all the inspiration!

Thanks!

I use LauncherPro. Just download the icons, and put them in a folder on your SD card.

On the LauncherPro dock, long press on the icon you want to change, select the application you want to use, and when it asks you what icon you want to use select "custom icon". The gallery will pop up, and you browse to the folder where you put the icons. Select the one you want, and bingo! New text icon on your dock. :)

Hope this helps!

You all know how this works. Post a picture of your Android's desktop.

There's 2 ways to do this:

With root
1) Download the Screenshot application (free).
2) Open the application, give it su permission, and once the text comes up, close it.
3) Press and hold the camera button for a second at the home screen. The camera application will pop up after a second with a Toast that tells you where the screenshot is saved. Whalah.

Without root
1) Install the Android SDK
2) Enable USB debugging on your device
3) Run DDMS from the tools directory
4) Select your phone from the list
5) Go in the menu, select Device, and then Screen capture. Whalah.

How do I know if I have rooted or unrooted? I just got my phone today and haven't done anything major to it except put a wallpaper someone here on the board made me on the phone. That is about it.

I guess my question is, is my phone considered rooted or unrooted? lol
