what do you have on your homescreen?

What kind of programs, widgets, applications, etc. Do you have on your home screen??
The g2 comes with 7 screens.. I only have my main home screen setup. Any suggestions on what to put on the other ones?

get launcher pro plus, the epicness will amaze you. get widgets like: to do list; beautiful widgets; countdown widget; tesla flashlight widget, phone dialer widget, these are a few. launcher pro plus comes with its own facebook, message, phone contact widgets pretty similar to htc sense

I really like this buzzbox app for current news.

Being used to the G1 I'm having a hard time using up all the screens. I've delegated my home screen with with most used apps,left screen for entertainment, and the right screen for tweaking.

3rd screen: Standard power widget, 5 settings shortcuts, droidlight, speedtest, and calculator.
Home: Search, Battery Left widget, Audio Manager widget, Gallery, Camera..
5th: my "Cloud" screen (amazon mp3, youtube, Market, and the like), a folder for Google maps and sky stuff, Astro file, and a simple notepad.
6th: Browser shortcuts, Dolphin, Xda, Music, and Persian Analog Clock widget.
Cluttered? yes

I don't really know what to put for all these screens. I came from a MT3G, but with cyanogen I could have like 9 screens but could edit it back down to 3. Now I'm stuck with 7...
So I made one dedicated to music, I like this page

how are you guys taking screenshots?
I have launch pro plus but I'm more like a minimalist.
I just have the black background (which matches the black tmobile gel case actually) with Beautiful Widgets. One of the other screens is just a basic Launcher Pro Calendar Widget, and the another is Friends (Facebook+Twitter).
I put my commonly used apps/games on the bottom (quick launch) which also has 3 pages.

For that one I used Shoot Me app from the market, but requires root.
You can also use USB Debug. ADB on pc too

I like your layout.
What apps you have on there?
I love that you have your discharge date countdown on your home page.
But 1600 days!? You do a 6 yr term?

What im trying to do is make the drawer in a full screen mode.. meaning, removing the home button and sorting button at the app drawer..
There are no options for ROW numbers that's why im asking on how to mod it a bit.

[TIP]Xperia Z Camera Launch Delay Workaround

As most of you have already noticed launching the camera on the XZ takes noticably long by any standards. Here's a workaround that reduces the launch delay to about half
PHP:
Requirements:
-Launcher that supports activity shortcuts (i.e Nova)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Howto: Nova
-Open add to home dialog by long holding blank area on homescreen
-Shorcuts > Activities > Camera > fastcapturing.FastCapturingActivity
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
A camera icon is added to homescreen with that shortcurt as directory. This launches the camera faster than the regular app icon but is limited to opening in iAuto mode only.

Even better, if you have Nova prime, add it as a swipe gesture on your camera app icon so you have both options

What is there not to get? There is a long delay when opening the camera app. This solves it

Thanks, worked like a charm on the Apex launcher. The camera opens in less then a second

this can be done in the stock launcher too... add APPS > Shortcut > Camera > select the mode you want!!

That's actually far better. Can't believe I never noticed these options before!
Now I can have shortcuts for different modes - how awesome is that?!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

Is it possible to select the mode using Nova launcher?

Dude, you're a genius

With the stock launcher, you may have a try on the QuickShortcutMaker to add the activity shortcut.

How to get Dash Clock widget on S4 lock screen ?

With our Galaxy S4, I can't figure out how to get the 'Dash Clock' widget on the lock screen ?
Aldo the S4 lock screen doesn't seem to allow swiping to the left or tight for the other lockreens, to add widgets and stuff ?

Goto:
settings/ my device/ lock screen and make sure multiple widgets is checked. Then you will be able to add widgets to your lock screen.

Ok, I did that, and then I press on the lock screen before I swipe to open it, and hold press the screen, trying to add widgets nothing happening, and the option to swipe left or right on the lock screen, just doesn't work at all it seems on Touchwiz ?

comatose1978 has it right. After you select that setting, go back to the lock screen and swipe left and hit the Plus Sign to add the widget. After you have it added, press and hold to reorder them, to make Dash Clock the default.
When you drag right or left, make sure you are dragging on the widget its self, not the empty area on the screen (cause then it will trigger the swipe to unlock).
Attatched is a screenshot of my phone, held halfway between lockscreen widget pages.

Great thank you. But I just installed Widget Locker instead, gave me more options, and seems to go better with Dash Clock than the stock Touchwiz lock-screen.

Is there a ability to set dashclock as the main lookscreen and use it, when you have a look pattern?

You cannot add custom widgets to the lockscreen with security enabled, like a lock pattern.

No, I'm pretty sure an xposed module let's you use widgets with security on. Could be wrong though

And how?
