Post your Android Desktop

You all know how this works. Post a picture of your Android's desktop.

There's 2 ways to do this:

With root
1) Download the Screenshot application (free).
2) Open the application, give it su permission, and once the text comes up, close it.
3) Press and hold the camera button for a second at the home screen. The camera application will pop up after a second with a Toast that tells you where the screenshot is saved. Whalah.

Without root
1) Install the Android SDK
2) Enable USB debugging on your device
3) Run DDMS from the tools directory
4) Select your phone from the list
5) Go in the menu, select Device, and then Screen capture. Whalah.

Here's mine (aHome + OS X theme)

I know, I know, Apple. :) Also, I think the funky left border is from aHome, can anyone confirm?
 
What does this mean? Is it an American word that has slipped by me? Or do you mean voila, as in the French expression. Sorry, don't usually do the spelling/grammer/word police thing, but this made me chuckle. :-)

I think you would call it a phonectic spelling ... for and English tongue.

like arabic's InShallah ...
 
I would love to know what this screenshot application on the market place is called. I tried a number of search terms and came up with nothing :(
 
That one apparently requires a rooted phone and mine isn't rooted, and in the first post you mentioned about one that would work with a non rooted phone.
 
As far as I know (I may be wrong though,) none of the home replacements require you to have root to take screenshots.

Also, the DDMS route works without root, but is a bit more work.
 
@theway2live did you make your theme yourself? I'm interested in changing the soft keyboard on my phone and was curious how you managed that.

@cptgemini there currently isn't a free screenshot/capture application in the market. I did a google search on my phone for "screenshot.apk" and found one available for download through rapidhost (I think?) but you need apk/package installer on your phone and I'm not sure if that's root only?
 
@cherodactyl.
i didnt make the theme, its the dudes v1.3b10 firmware, but i did change some icons.
&& the keyboard is actually better keyboard its a paid app in the market with different skins.
