I'm interested to see how people are utilizing their 7 home screens! How do YOU take advantage of your limited real estate on the Vivid?!
1. I keep this blank for widgets I might want to switch in or out.
2. This is where I get content, from the market, downloads, and quick links to certain apps in folders
3. Social media.
4. Stock HTC clock and widgets in their original touchFLO 3D order.
5. Search and Navigation
6. Media. Music, Dock Mode, Movies, and YouTube.
7. Settings widgets and shortcuts

VERY cool! What ROM is this?
Using ADW.Launcher
widgets you can see are
Clock -> beautiful widgets paid
toggles -> extended controls paid
agenda -> antons calendar widget free
little android dude -> ATK
facebook -> standard facebook app free
music -> Power Amp paid
cpu info -> SetCPU paid
icons are set to 7x7
Here is mine. I prefer a cleaner home screen.

That 7x7 just looks way too cluttered! Almost hurts the eyes just looking at it.

Where did you get your clock widget? I can't find one that will allow me to put three rows of icons beneath it as you have.

I used Launcher Pro for the dock and WP Clock which is a live wallpaper for all the info on the background.

Hello all,
As a new user I'm apparently not allowed to post links at all until I'm verified. So that means you'll have to a little leg work to find some things if you're interested.
This is my customized phone. I used the same background in my blog; The icons I made in a roundabout way—Bobbyperux over at Deviantart, made a pretty all inclusive tutorial on how to make them. It even had a video. You'll need to know something about Photoshop and have a tiny bit of patience. I changed the font to futura and the color to white. Except for the android market, ha. Little color never hurt anyone. The phone is rooted, non-market apps are enabled, and I can sync to my itunes with ease. Mac user.
Anywho give it a whirl--the icon pack is called up to date icons.
Id like to change my icon set too. Do you have to be using launcherpro or can u change them on the stock TW?
Thx.

The news widget is called buzz box-- its pretty nifty. You can choose from a ton of sources within the actual widget and it updates the news all day. I don't know how it effects battery life, but my captivate seems to be dealing with it just fine.

Yes, its LauncherPro. On the home screen I used Folder Organizer, as LauncherPro could can only change dock icons.
I was wondering if there was a way to change the number of screens on the Droid 3's motoblur. I noticed the welcome video had 7 screens and that sounds perfect to me. Also, does motoblur no longer have profiles? I'd love a work/home profile for apps.
-cm
It's not Motoblur, whats on this Droid!
More homescreens means another installing launcher I think...
I would also like to figure this out, I only want 3 screens, 5 its more than I need
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
I prefer one screen myself, with my most used apps nearest the bottom + the dock buttons. I use Launcher Pro for that. Launcher pro also allows me to hide over 30 stock apps that I don't want to see. LP will allow for up to 7 screens.

I'd love to agree with it not being Blur, but if you go to the Files app, Internal Storage->Android->data, and scroll down the list, one of the folders is for an app named 'com.motorola.blur.home'... hmm... I wonder what that could be It seems Motorola themselves just wants to move away from the name, but they can't seem to update their apps to reflect that
I was running 1 screen for a while on my OG, and loved that set up, but I'm using more widgets now than I was then. And until I can use that sweet quick contacts widget in LP, I'm stuck with the blur.

Just download a great, completely customizable weather, clock, settings widget. It's only 99 cents on the market right now. Perfect for my ever changing homescreen. So many themes. Give it a look. I added a couple of pics to show some of the colors and sizes.

I assume you're the developer. I could be wrong. I like the appearance of the widgets, are there anything more than the weather/clock widgets?
Thanks
Bought it. It's awesome. The widgets looks very elegant on my xoom's screen. The variety of widget sizes and looks make this one a great buy!
I was lucky enough to beta test this widget and it was a pleasure watching the developers upgrade and fix it over several months. They are quick to resolve issues and I purchased it as soon as it became available on market.
Edit: @ Saintfyre, the main 8x2 widget allows the forcast on right to be switched with a control panel similar to a power control widget. Things like BT, screen rotation, wifi can all be turned on/off. Beyond that, theyre just weather and clock. Its a replacement for Beautiful widgets.
@OP. What is the Theme you are using? And what is the small up arrow in the center of your notification bar?
First app I bought without much research, saw one review and small review at that in a blog, very happy I bought it, very nice widgets.
I decided to pick it up and was beating my head against the wall because I couldn't get the widgets to appear in the Xoom widget menu after long-pressing. Simple reboot takes care of it, for those who scratch their head like I did after configuring one and trying to find out how to place it. I like what I see so far. Thanks devs!

I believe he's either using a Galaxy Tab 10.1 or has found a way to run TouchWiz UX on a Xoom. Probably the first one. The arrow would be the shortcut TW has for the mini apps.

Sorry not the developer, just letting people know about the widget that I liked.
Yes, not a theme, I use a galaxy tab 10.1 now, but old habits like this forum die hard.

In your 3rd pic on the top you are using something that has large buttons as folders. What program does that?
Ok, while you're at it, where did you get that wicked Star Trek wallpaper? /drool
The folders are two apps. Desktop visualizer is a free app that lets you take almost any small picture and use it for a launcher button of any app or bookmark. Then you can resize it to whatever dimensions you want. I have that widget working with the app called folder organizer lite. You can put all your apps into different folders. Apply your own icon and resize away. It saves alot of screen area so you don't have 100 apps taking up real estate. I can post some pics if you want to see what it looks like. Both apps are free in the market.
And here is the uss enterprise wallpaper. But you have to use the multipicture live wallpaper (free) in order to get it to display correctly. Honeycomb crops the sh!# out of it.

Please Help
Under the HD Widgets settings you can add and remove different sizes.
Won't update units from F to C. :crying:
But other than not knowing what 50 degrees F is, the app is awesome.
Edit: rebooted and now it works a charm. A+++
Crazy fast and smooth, light weight. could use a couple of more options, but thought Id let you guys know if you were looking for a new launcher, its good.
Is this in the market?
Yeah, its awesome!
yup in the market
Running it now, prolly the best launcher I've ever used

Thanks for the heads up on this launcher...very nice!
I like it, and I really like how icon press highlight isn't a gigantic box.
Sweet launcher!

I love it. It's definitely fast, and I like how you can change the app drawer to scroll vertically instead of having to swipe side to side.
meh. The icons changing grey while scrolling in the app drawer is annoying. Dock is fugly and can't edit it to 3 (without plus signs) or disable all together. Built in task manager doesn't show all "running" apps so that's pointless. Just lacks the in depth options that adw ex has that I like. Might check it out again after 7 updates .
good day.
went back to ics 4.0... too many wake locks.
Did anybody else notice that if you swipe up on the dock in the home screen it flips up to show a lock button and settings button? The lock locks out your apps you have set with a password in the launcher settings,i thought this was cool

Hey guys,
I am in need of a task/todo widget. A good one, My criteria :
It should be a widget:
where i can see all my tasks/todo list etc
All the tasks should havea check box for easy checking in the widget ( without opening the app : i.e. when i press a checkbox to complete the task, the widget shouldnt expand or open the app at all, i just want it to check it off in the widget itself )
Also expandable and collapseable subtasks and or notes within the widget itself, without going into the app ( i tested many apps doing this, i dont want that )
Any of one know of such a wonderous app out there???
please help
Use Any do to do app, it satisfies almost all the criterias you've asked.
Search for "any do" in the market.
I'be attached the screenshot for your reference.
