Hey! We (the AC editors) just posted a roundtable on how we set up our phones, and while I know there are a lot of those kinds of posts in various device forums, I wanted to create one where everyone can post theirs in one place.

So here's your opportunity: tell us what phone you have, what launcher you use, what icon packs you love (if applicable), where you get your wallpapers, and anything else you feel is relevant.

Have a great day!

I have a pretty basic setup using Nova Launcher Pro on my Galaxy 8+. I love the Space Z icon pack by the way!

Here you go.

Nova. Several icon pack, that's Poweramp and Textra in the dock. Currently using Today Weather widget. The wallpaper is of my own making with some work done in Snapseed.

I am currently using the Dark Void icon pack with a wallpaper from the same pack, and Nova Launcher set to hide the dock and status bar on a S8+

I still use an HTC One (m7) so apps are very basic and only what I need while out: email, calendar, GPS, music, Nest, and a few things to read. Also position the clickable items low and to the right so I can easily one-hand things.

Nova launcher, Min icons, Nice Simple Photo Widget, Minimalistic Text.

My current layout
Keeping with a minimalistic design I've utilized The Edge panel on my S8 to clean up the home screen a little bit. I've cleaned up the app drawer by putting everything or mostly everything in folders.

Stock launcher, pil widget, DIGI clock widget, pocketcast widget. Wallpapers app with daily rotation off art category.

I know, 2 clocks. I'm old. I like a nice big clock for quick looking.
