Post your current home screen set up

Posted Apr 05, 2012 at 3:38 pm in Threads > Assignments

I think it’s only natural for this to be posted, almost every android thread has one, so why not here.

I thought it would be fun to show my friends just how deep android can go when It comes to customization.
My home screen

As much as I don’t like iOS I thought this was fun to show off.

The set up:

    It’s actually the stock TouchWiz widget. I don’t think anyone has reproduced it yet, sorry. :\

  It’s weird that your image code works but others don’t, what gives.

    I use plain HTML code to post images. It is clearly stated in Clark’s “What HTML Code We Allow” on the site. Just use the img src code. Not BBCode, since this isn’t a bulletin board.

Hey KWills88,

How did you get the links to show up like that? So they do the direct link to the marketplace in the fancy banner instead of just a regular hyperlink?

  There’s a icon for the play store in the threads click it and when you it pops up instead of putting the full url of an app just put “com.jiubang.goscreenlock” inside and it will come up like this [market package="com.jiubang.goscreenlock"]

Hey guys, just a quick note to say that I see the problems you’re having posting images in a comment and that I’ll start working on it soon!

Eventually my goal is to have comments be as rich as the main thread editor. And if you really want to be ahead of the curve, start learning some light HTML. Nothing major, just the main tags: links, images, font styling, etc. It’s something all bloggers should know!

Here’s mine. It’s more than a little iPhone-like, I suppose. I quite like iOS’s look, I just don’t like iOS all that much, haha.

Galaxy S 2, running ICS through CM9, and Nova Launcher and a bunch of icons I made myself using found images and an iOS Photoshop template.

      Thanks! It’s very flowy and has a decent amount of options. There is a free version and a paid version.
      
      What icons are you using? I think the colors would actually go good with my homescreen, might have to lose the transparency and check it out.

Here’s mine.
My main home page (center) still has a full transparent dock at the bottom, and two transparent folders next to the clock. Plus I use swipepad so even though I don’t have any icons on the main homescreen, i still have 10 dock icons (5 but with swipe actions makes 10) and two folders and 12 more shortcuts by swipepad. If you look close, you can see the “transparent” icons, they show up for some reason in screen caps.

Clock widget = Glowing Neon Clock Widget Full
Live wallpaper = Radiant Particles
