Post your home screens here!

Got it...thanks. I knew it was going to be something very simple (just had to select "allow overflow" and "truncate rows."

Ok after monkeying around with it, here's my lock screen and one of the home screens. I do a lot of photography on the side so it's a great opportunity for me to showcase my work.

BTW, that's a guy I know in a band called The Explorer's Club. Very retro, 60's style, AM radio. You should check them out on iTunes....er...Google Music (sorry ex-iPhone evangelist here).

Another really stupid question (I'm embarrassed to even ask it)....

Can you save each set up (Lock screen/home screen configuration)? Or do you have to reconstruct each time you want to go back to one?

That's what has kept me from doing a lot of different lock screens (that's as far as I've gotten--haven't had the courage to work the home screens yet)...I don't want to lose the configuration I set up. I take screen shots, but I suppose you have to rebuild each one new? To be honest, I know Widget Locker can save the lock screen widgets, but I really don't have time and diligence to create individual widgets--there are plenty of pre-constructed widgets out there imo.

You can backup the setup in both Nova launcher and widget locker.

In Nova go to your Nova settings then scroll down to Backup and Import. Save. Then if you ever want to restore it you can go back and import the backup file. It still requires you to reconnect the widgets you used but it's pretty fast.

For Widget locker go into your widget locker settings. Scroll down to Backup/restore. Save. Same rules apply as for Nova above.

Thanks so much!

So I guess the 'restore' function is how to get it back?

Edit: ok I see it now and I understand why u gotta name it!

It's pretty easy, they have the step by step on YouTube. Just type Best Android homescreen on YouTube.

I can't stop changing things on this phone...

Feel like my phone layout is at a point that i'm content for a bit.

Apex launcher, MNML Circle White icons, Widget locker with Missed It on the lock screen, Notification toggles in pull down menu, Bob clock, Battery Widget Reborn.

what's that live wallpaper you're using, it looks slick

OK just to add a bit to my earlier post.

This is ADW launcher on the HTC One, but pretty much any launcher will do most of the same things, although each has it's own particulars.

Home screen has GSam Battery monitor in upper left.

Then Simi Clock (this is an app launcher - clicking on left side will open a menu of up to 5 apps, as will the right side.

Then Simi weather (same as the clock - can launch up to 5 apps)

Then, the full moon kind of thing is Circle launcher - another app launcher- I use it for frequent contacts (see below in action) Ahh! Just noticed the black menu bar with Circle Launcher - Not that it matters for this.

The heart is direct dial to my wife.

Here is how I have my app drawer set up - I have apps grouped according to function to cut down on clutter and make finding apps quick if I need to as I don't put many apps on my home screens. I put a few under the various launchers, of course some on the dock bar, and I have the calendar widget covering most of the next screen, with 3 folders underneath with more common apps grouped there.

The app drawer is accessed by swiping up on the screen (launchers let you assign different tasks to different actions. I choose swipe up as open app drawer). The android in the center is a shortcut to the contacts app, not app drawer as I don't need that due to the gesture.

I still haven't got everything how I want it on the One (need to install a lot of apps yet) but the basic structure of my homepage is the same as my prior phone and has been pretty much unchanged for a couple years. I do tweak wall paper or fonts on occasion, or add or delete app shortcuts as my usage changes.

This set up works well for me. I like to try to keep things uncluttered and organized. Others would be bored with it I guess.

This is the huge strength of Android. How things work is pretty much up to you.

just curious how you used circle icons on the home screen and the normal icons in the app drawer?
beautiful looking setup
which icon pack did you use?
