Re: Screen Shots
Anyone else get the feeling that most of the widgets are caught in-between a phone and a tab, they are either too small or big...
very frustrating.. trying to get some ideas, here, most of the posts so far, look like phone set-ups... not tablets...

I am back to vanilla android since upgrading from G1 little over a year ago. Now hate admit I believe I really under utilized the customization with my first android device and I don' t want to that with my N7.
I would like few recommendations to pimp out my N7 homescreens.
What great widget apps for weather,clock and calendar do people use?
Any good background or wallpaper apps to look into?
I have been blessed sense widgets for long time but I grow tired of their industry look.
As you can see from my screen shot my home screens suck.

Re: Screen Shots
Nova rocks but you have to update from within the app (at least the free version as of last night). Otherwise you can't move anything/rearrange.
I almost gave up till I saw the update notice buried in the settings.
Some things I like about nova is that you can lock the screen to prevent accidental changes/deletions, but if you want to change something you can long press the screen to temporarily unlock. Very nice way to handle it.
Also you can overlap widges which is very useful.
You can put 1x1 widgets in the dock which is really cool.
And I like how you don't have to go into the mess that is the app draw to add apps and widgets. That is the one thing I hate about ICS/Jellybean is particularly the mess in the widget drawer. Nova pulls up a scrollable list and if there are multiple widgets for an item it puts them on one line, ie., Battery Monitor Widget (6) instead of listing 6 separate lines.
Google could learn a lot from Nova.
I like the wallpaper too~ - 07-19-2012, 10:32 AM #86

Funny thing..with jellybean I'm leaning toward the cleaner look with fewer widgets.
That said..Beautiful Widgets and HD Widgets should give you plenty to play around with.
On my nook, I used Executive Assistant, which I liked but have not tried on jb yet. It's a one-stop widget for email, twitter,fb, tasks, calender..etc.Last edited by julesR; 07-19-2012 at 10:40 AM.

Re: Screen Shots
Here is mine... I am using "Super Clock Wallpaper Pro"
The clock is a widget that scrolls with the screens making the date, battery percentage and network name move when you change screen...
I do like that Paperland one. Might buy it with my $25 credit

Re: Screen Shots
Wow after looking at all these i feel like my home screen is a bit cluttered. I like how a lot of you all have a minimalistic approach . i can always put all the stuff currently on my homescreen on the other 4 that i have available lol.
I'll make some changes tonight and post it. Thanks for the inspiration! - 07-20-2012, 10:39 AM #99
Re: Screen Shots
I like to keep things simple. I also like consistency. First pic is my N7. Second pic is my Gnex:


The little black dot in the lower right hand area of my Gnex homescreen is actually a widget I created using Simple Text. If you touch it, it hides the notification bar. Cleans up the look even more.

Re: Screen Shots
no clue if this will work correctly but here goes.
This is my current setup, with one of my wallpapers.
I tend to like having multiple wallpapers that each highlight something of interest to me, so Discworld art, Doctor Who art, Phineas and Ferb art etc. With these bits overlayed on a shared branded background, which just gives me a cohesive feel.
If anyone is interested I put together a photoshop psd, that has guides for vert & horiz alignment for dropping in images to line up.Last edited by Seth_Brower; 07-21-2012 at 01:15 PM.
