I noticed other device specific threads for posting your desktop and was wondering if we should start one here. I don't have a mytouch yet, but would love to see how people have customized theirs already.
 
great thread! =)
i've been debating between using adw or sticking with stock. i hate the myfaves button is the main reason for using adw. and it looks a little less organized.. can you guys help me pick one please? tia!

(using stock)
 
I like things really tidy. But I love your picture! I'm not using the task thingie right now...have about 5 different ones downloaded just can't decide what I like best. I like how yours is right there on the screen.

Anyway, here's my home page.

And one page to the left are all my apps in folders:

And one page to the right is my task bar, camcorder, and gallery. Nothing else yet. I like all the apps being in folders. I just got my phone last week so still seeing what I use the most. So far it's the items on the front page.

Rather than take actual pictures of your phone, there is a way to just take screen shots off your phone. The instructions can be found here.

Also, I know on other threads people list the launcher (if you're not running stock) and the widgets/apps they're using. Just a thought...
 
I used shootme.apk (have to be rooted to use)

Here we roll.









This is exactly how it looks. I did block a few things for privacy. :P

Not too excited about the home screen im still working on that one. BTW its a live wallpaper and the lock screen is the tree thing.
 
Kinda sad that the only way to get a screen shot on a non-rooted phone is to take a pic of the whole phone with another camera.

brinky: see my comment a few replies above. You don't have to be rooted to take screen shots. Just takes few extra steps.

I stand by my post. Why do i need to hook my phone up to a computer just to get a screen capture? Why in the world would google make it so hard to get a screen shot?

But thanks for providing a non-root solution.

Ok, I just wanted to clarify your comment. I agree about Google making things more difficult then they need to be.
 
When I read the instructions it sounded like the whole process would take longer than just shooting a couple pictures with my camera.

ANd I agree. A screenshot should be easy!
 
I followed a link here on the forum to root it in less than 3 min, it can't be easier than that :) it's called something like Temp Root, but after that, I can enjoy rooted features ..lol Here are my screenshots captured using ShootMe App:



Actually the process of posting the pix on the forum takes a lot longer :)

Which one did you follow? My guide?

Yea the process of adding the image to the forums takes longer then actually doing the root/shootme process.
 
I agree that it looks sweet... I found a utility that makes mine looks as sweet as that... called WidgetLocker:

Actually you DON'T need root to take a snap shot of your home screen just download an app that doesn;t require it I know there are some as when I had my bh2 months ago before I lost it I was able to do it without root using an app I think it was called shootme.
