I've kept my homescreen virtually the same through three Android phones



BTW- NinjaMorph does seem to work using Victorious ROM since it's deodexed, not sure if it works on the stock odexed firmware. I tested by changing the color of my restart icon in the power menu. Will be building my first them for the Victory in a couple of days.

 

I love cleanliness. Simplicity. Hate unused icons and widgets on my screen. Love to get to what I use the most quickly. As you can see, I've got the Android Forums icon right on the front lol

 

May I ask what theme that is?

Got this phone as a late fathers day present and just got around to rooting it. Way nicer that my old Triumph. Candy Crush work way better on this phone!!!

 

It's really fun seeing what everyone does with their phones!

I keep my main screen pretty uncluttered - haven't tried a lot of themes yet, but this seems to work for me:

This might be a silly question, but do themes/launchers drain your battery life?

 

I wondered about the same thing and installed ADWLauncher EX. It didn't seem to decrease battery life, but when I tried a live wallpaper (Xperia Z), the battery seemed to drain a little quicker. I can go a full 24 hours and still have %50 battery with a static wallpaper.

 

My guess is they are using the img tag and the image is hosted elsewhere instead of posting it as an attachment.

I posted earlier and finally have things set up the way I like it. Using Apex Launcher Pro.

 

Any suggestions on good launchers? I tried next launcher, it had some cool customization options.

Switched back to an old favorite wallpaper, added kernel testing apps to frontpage, and vintage is the folder where I keep my emulators.

My inner minimalist sheds a single tear for my once clean home screen.

 

Holo Launcher with 2 scrolling dock panels (the second has folders with shortcuts to a number of phone settings and management apps), rooted with Victorious ROM, only two screens, the other with several widgets. Set to open the app drawer with a quick double tap on the screen. Also like to make the dock disappear with the Home button just to make it look more minimalistic. Just tap the Home button again to bring it back if I'm already on the Home screen. Or, of course, a double tap on the screen to open the drawer.

 

To AndroidHaCks and buzzcon, that is correct. Put it somewhere like say, Dropbox, then copy the public link. Then click insert image on here and paste in the link.
