Post your Nexus One home screens!

[daihl92]

I'm curious to see how people layout their apps and widget on their home screens and how they have the phone customized! Saying as I'm very indecisive on how to best layout my home screens for ease of use I could use some inspiration!

If you don't know how to take a screenshot, check here:

how did you get those icons to display a number on them? (the far left screen)

It's from NewsRoom, check my post further up this thread for a link.

The icons are the NewsRoom widget and show unread entries.

here are my screens - using the same background as Nelien but still....

Home Screen

Left Screen

Right Screen

the left-most and right-most are still blank, dont even use them...

Don't get how you all got your screens so big, had to super downsize mine for the silly thing to let me upload them. Anyway. Just wanted to show off my much-loved wallpaper, apps are arranged neatly around the android

edit: sorry, I'm clearly not forum savvy (and can't be bothered to upload to diff site) so you'll have to lump the additional thumbnail blobs at the bottom.

I love your background! Made it yourself? It's stunning!

'Fraid not, yoinked it from a background app. Stupidly didn't save it, just clicked "set as wallpaper" and now I can't find it again. Is great for showing off the pretty screen!

We clearly have superior taste ;o)

You using the same calendar widget as smitty? I'm looking for a good calendar widget and the one I have now is fine but both of yours seem better.

Thanks, I will check it out.

I'm using Android Agenda Widget - think its was free?

Tried a couple out but that was the one I was happiest with.

Have to say that the Pure Calendar looks good too though

Here comes my updated home screens! A more gloomy, serene and clean layout, quite happy so far.

EDIT: Almost for forgot, to save you the trouble the widgets that might catch your attention are:
Battery Indicator - Puts a battery indicator on the notification bar. Has lots of neat options.
Pure Calendar Widget - Fully customizable calendar widget with several themes to choose from.
Daily Quotes 4 - Searches for quotes online with used defined search terms. Widgets with several themes, mine's simply transparent.

I like the wall paper but it looks washed out and like you said gloomy...

I do agree that the screenshots look washed out, which surprised me because on the actual phone it looks much better, more "calm and beauty" than "gloom and anxiousness" . Might change to a more uplifting background later, when I find one I like.

Except I believe Pandora is free? At least, it used to be when it was available in the UK.

@Neilen what battery widget is that

 

[FreshPrince]

That's terrible that we can't get a nice music widget with album cover art here in the US.

If you find out what Spotify is and how UKers can sync music for offline use, you'll be a little more ticked off

Yup From what I remember of Pandora you can't just chose a song. I have playlists of all my favourite ones and (because I'm using the free version) get a short minute long ad every 2 or 3 songs. Completely bearable and worth it. They just need to make it work for my phone for free.

Now, someone else post some screenshots! I keep getting excited when I see this thread has new posts, but noooo, absolutely no new ideas to steal from.
