Weather & Toggle Widget
Basically, do you like your homescreen filled to the brim with widgets? or do you like the cleaner look of icon rows?
Also, are you the kind of person that has 7 homescreens filled to the brim with widgets and icons, or the kind of person that has three homescreens and only uses them for a clock on the middle one and facebook/twitter on the others.
I am deffinetly the 3 homescreens guy.
Both - I have a mixture of widgets (weather, time, FaceBook, news) in addition to applications (gmail, texting, maps etc). 3-5 home screens, give or take.
3 Homescreens.
Main home screen is search widget, weatherbug widget, and Elixir widget. Also 8 icons (SMS, 2 mail, IM app, calender, market, map, and aftermarket browser). Screen to the left; music widget, pandora widget, youtube widget, and 4 icons (all media related). Screen to the right of main home page, power control widget and 12 icons (all related to OC, benchmarking, rooting stuff). Thats it.
3 home screens, calendar on the left,clock and weather in the middle and messages on the left. I like it clean and minimal
I have 7 homescreens with LauncherPro, but only use 4 of them. Main screen has Fancy Widget Pro, Curvefish brightness and 2G/3G toggle widgets, uptime widget, and Moon Phase Pro widget. Left screen has Facebook and Google Search. 2nd left has 4 x 4 Plume widget. Right screen has LauncherPro calendar.
No icons on the home screens, only widgets. I put icons of my most used apps in the LauncherPro dock, which has 3 screens of 5 each. Makes for a clean look.
7 homescreens with LauncherPro. Main (4) is blank, so I can see my spiffy wallpaper in all its centred glory. Most of the rest are icons aside from the power widget and a calendar, leaving a row or two blank to avoid mis-taps when swiping back and forth, and for aesthetics.
3 homescreens. Clock on one, calendar and notepad on the other two.

One homescreen. Four Simi Folders, and about three icons.
I really can't deal with the swiping cost to change screens.
I have 7 screens but only 6 have junk on them. The home screen is blank minus a clock. I use widgets and icons. I try to make a theme of each pages, i.e. game page, chat page, important page, etc. Plus a few photos on some pages where there were blank spots.

I use the default (5) homescreens on a stock launcher.
When I first started with Android I was all about widgets, then I realized that I never really use many of them and they just take up RAM/CPU/Battery, and now I've gone to more icons than widgets.
Home screen: 1x1 WatchDog widget, and a 1x4 Weather/News widget, rest icons for normal things like messages, market, XDA, etc.
My other screens have 0-1 widget and are generally categorized. aka I have a screen that is just music/videos/etc. another with productivity apps, and one for games. I use my far left screen for my nerdy apps like ROM manager, Titanium backup, File Explorer, and Terminal Emulator.
One screen. Use the ADW launcher with 5 icon dock. Only 4 shortcuts on the desktop. No widgets. Power control widgets in the notification window. Drawer organized into catalogs.
Htc flip clock widget, the rest of main screen is icons. Other 4 screens are htc widgets(calendar, people, fmradio) and a postit note widget

A mix between them. Starting to use less widgets due to me not using them and battery drainage.
Widgets all the way.
I moved from iphone cuz of widgets, also cuz everyone in my family got a iphone. Do you know how hard it is to tell which iphone is yours when everyone put on the coffee table. (and no we don't use cases)
Primarily using widgets now and down to 3 screens.
Home Screen has Simi Clock and Simi Folder - Use the Folder Widgets to access regularly used applications. I have 4 icons on this screen - SMS, Gmail, Dialer, Settings.
Right screen - Score Mobile Widget & Scrollable News/RSS Feed Widget
Left Screen - Pure Grid Calendar Widget & Power Control Widget.
News, WeatherEye, ESPN, Facebook and Twidroyd widgets, everything else is icons...

3 home screens. Left screen is colorized widgets Facebook widget (4x4), center screen has fancy widgets pro home (2x2) and right screen has colorized widgets agenda widget(4x4). 5 Icons in the dockbar(phone, gmail, drawer, sms, browser) and 6 icons in the hidden dockbar(ADW EX).
I'm a fan of the minimalistic look.
I have 5 screens & generally have more widgets then icons.
I just received my Telstra SGS2 and love it. But what I really am looking for is a Weather widget like Sense, where I can add multiple cities and flick through them, or click on the widget to open the app.
I also would like an email widget (also like sense) which can look at all the email accounts (2x GMail and 1 Exchange). or at the very least allow me to look at my Exchange email.
I already am using Launcher Pro and have the people, calendar and messages widgets - but I miss the other 2.
Also does anyone know of a stocks widget that is close to the Sense one also - a 4x4 widget shows the stock items without having to open an app?
thanks in advance.

I use beautiful widget along with beautiful weather I think... that give you sense like clock with weather animations.
you can try fancy widget pro or fancy widgets (actually same)
Thanks for that, I am using Fancy widgets for the weather app now.
But I would still like an email widget - anyone know of one other than Pure Messenger or K9 as I can't get my Exchange to work with these?
A stock one would also be great.
Thanks
