I don't know if this has been done before on this forum but I think it'd be a good idea to see what other people's home screens look like. I think this is a good way to get nice widgets and apps out there and share what we're using. I'll post a picture as soon as I figure out how to screenshot my Droid lol.

I don't know if there's another thread or not, but I couldn't leave this one with none so here's one of mine
Here's a link for a thread full of all sorts of good things, including a link for instructions for screen shots. Also some of the homescreen replacement apps like dxtop have an option to capture home screens...but it doesn't allow you to capture screens in other apps.

These are ordered left to right. Captured with open home. I only use it because it flips home screens into landscape without keyboard open. I then had to change the captured image extension from png to jpg so I could upload to picasa. All done from phone. Isn't technology great.

Tried the sdk method but ddms.bat just opens and closes... weird :\
I was about to post to see if there was a thread like this but searched and found this. This will be a great thread for new and potential Droid owners. It's great to see the differences between the different home screen replacements. I can get mine in about a week and I scour this forum every night!

What's the app w/the two arrows next to Astro?

Guess I need to jump through hoops if I don't have a home replacement in order to post. If they make a home replacement that can do it surely someone can make an app that can just do it by itself. Maybe I will try to do it later. Nice shots so far. Like the thread.
He is using the HTC Theme for his home replacement. It is meant to look like HTC's Sense UI. Sense UI comes with that clock/weather widget, so the theme made one that looks similar.

Check out beautiful Widgets in the market. It has the clock with weather, there are several Widgets in the bundle, beautiful home is the one in the pic

I'm interested in the custom file to change the notification bar.. hopefully this can be done without rooting..not sure if I want to do that yet.

It's Beautiful Widgets. It's a couple of bucks in the market, but totally worth it. The weather is even animated when you click on it to bring up a forecast view.
You must root the Droid in order to make this change. The steps are here:

It is s memory optimizer that is part of open home. I'm not exactly aure what it does but it definately speeds things up.

How does it speed things up when everything already opens up as soon as you click on it?

I'd love to show my screens, but I can't get the sdk trick to work. My computer does recognize my droid, so the usb trick isn't needed?? My device manager doesn't question mark the droid when its connected. When I run the tool dmms...I get the window but no device tab
Is your Droid in debugging mode when you do this? Sometimes it takes mine a minute to show the device.

Here is my home screen and my lock. I used this image on my Titan back in the day and still love it on my Droid.
I will probably change this again by tomorrow.

Hey Bunsen,
Which battery widget is that you are using? I like the look.
