What does your Android phone look like?

[WelshBloke]

Just noticed, am I the only person to use folders on my home screen to keep all my shortcuts in?

I would leave a screeny but most of my pages have widgets with personal stuff in.

I use circle launcher on side screens myself. Similar yet diff.

I like circle launcher. Barely fiddled with it, but I like the interface as opposed to the archaic folder icon.

Sms unread count is one that does that.

i'm using go launcher notifications.
text icon made using an app from the market

i'm just a noob, but I think "themes" for android are basically packaged in with various launchers.

I have seen in the XDA forums--go with your specific phone--that members are developing icon packages, but I'm not sure if those need to be used with specific launchers, or not.

The easiest to theme launcher IMO is Go Launcher EX. It has dozens of user submited themes and that includes replacing most icons. Super easy to change the themes too.

AH. Everyone seems to talk about it and praise it, but the images I see ont he market are all of rainbows and ridiculous bullshit, so I keep avoiding it.

If it's so diverse, why not advertise it's capabilities more?

Back to this look, still messing around with the clock part. Can't seem to duplicate what I had before from memory.

Very cool, and quite original

Not perfect as the epic touch doesn't have many themes yet. I want to remove my battery icon soon and a few other changes.

What are you using for your battery icon in the status bar?

 

[Spoooon]

When I make a "theme," I just focus on the homescreen. I don't like having a bunch of custom icons and then one or two stock icons in the app tray.

Couldn't tell you its part of the ROM, AEMod. I want to change it

Hmmm... mines just a boring filled battery icon. The number w/ circles look better. Stupid different roms.

I tried Go Launcher and while it had a ton of customization compared to the other launchers, it was SO SLOW and choppy. I went back to Launcher Pro because of how smooth it is.

just google go launcher themes or do a market search for that, you can see tons of them and they are not all rainbows

you can view the golauncher theme store from within the ap as well

I have like 2 folders that keep the most used shortcuts. one is for games and another one for apps that don't have widgets implemented. The one thing that i would like is an app that would give more features to folders like changing how they look, functionality etc

There was a folders app that I was using, but it kept crashing on me so I had to stop. I'm not a fan of how limited the built in folder functionality is either.

Just curious, what doesn't it do that you want it to do? I haven't used anything other than ADW EX in a long time.

Can't change anything about the folders. Can't change the color or icon, can't change the # of apps that show up on each folder "screen", can't change the background of the opened folder, etc. I don't know if it's a limitation of the launcher (Go launcher EX) or my rom but it's kind of a bummer.

However it's not enough of a bummer to switch launchers if that's the case. I've tried all of the major ones plus some different ones and GO launcher is the best for me. Most response and most updated.

try circle launcher. I picked it up the other day when it was Amazon's free ap of the day. I haven't messed around with it too much, but it does offer a nice deal of variety to how folders operate and allows a lot of customization with the folder icon.

Does simifolder work for you or is that the one that crashes?

I tried GO Launcher for a while, decided to go back to ADW EX.

That's pretty neat. Thanks

Simi folder is the one I'm having probs with. I'm not sure why because it doesn't look like more folks are having the same issue. I might try reinstalling it and see what happens.

Bumping old screenshot thread. What's everyone got going on these days?

Running pretty close to stock ICS, but seeing this thread has inspired me to do some skinning.
