Is that a stock launcher you are using or something else? Is that clock part of beautiful widgets? Really like the way it looks!

-Jiovani

Stock launcher, font size set to small. Clock/weather widget is from HD Widgets.

which app can I use to get such very nice screenshots?

If you're running a phone with ICS or Jelly Bean then just press volume down and power button at the same time. Will take a screenshot for you. Otherwise unless the function is built in to the ROM it normally needs root permissions.

Do you mean how to customize the home screen? If you're using Android just get a launcher like Nova, or Apex. It lets you do tons of things that the default Android launcher doesnt let you do.

I'm assuming Nik means rather than put up a nice screenshot, tell us the names of the widgets that are being used in it.

My lockscreen and main screen really haven't changed much, I think I have just found the comfort zone.

Using Widget Locker, Beautiful Widgets (Google Now weather theme) and MissedIt

Nice setup mrk was going to say that looked similar to others you had posted. Like you I think I've found a setup that holds all that I want in close enough reach and as you say "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"

Looking through here though certainly does show that people are so different, there are some beautiful setups nice clean and minimal and then some what I would consider horrendous "clusterf***s" each to their own, but some peoples setups would give me a headache after 5 minutes.

Hey cheers!

I agree with you but you agree with me so I would agree with you I guess :D

It's amazing seeing everyone's setup though, it really does make you see how different people are with how they use their personal devices, operative word being personal :)

    • Claude on Windows is eating up massive amounts of RAM, with no way to stop it

      By TheGhostPhantom · Posted

      This article does not make sense and it’s very evident, the bug wasn’t confirmed to exist, because the application itself runs on editions of Windows which make it impossible to run Hyper-V VMs on, “Basically, Claude Desktop on Windows spins up a 1.8GB Hyper-V virtual machine if you use Claude Cowork or agent mode even once.”, suggests the bug is caused by something else otherwise it would only happen to users with the capability of running Hyper-V VMs and that’s only if Hyper-V was enabled which is by default not enabled. The true issue is that the author who reported the bug used the incorrect terminology.
    • Stack Overflow is launching a version of itself for AI agents

      By TheGhostPhantom · Posted

      “To prevent hallucination issues and keep the database clean, the platform uses a multi-agent verification loop to check code quality.” - This absolutely isn’t happening. ”Before the massive rise of LLMs, which tanked its traffic by about 50% over the last couple of years, Stack Overflow was the go-to website for millions of programmers seeking coding solutions.” - It still is trusted, because the community of users, blocked other users from submitting false and misleading answers generated by AI agents that can be convinced something it generated is actually incorrect even if it’s actually correct. The company itself doesn’t know what it wants to be so it keeps trying and failing to introduce AI features to the platform. This effort will also fail, already submitted one successful poison pill, look forward to generating more.

    • Proton releases Proton Drive CLI for Windows, Mac, and Linux

      By noobient · Posted

      Completely irrelevant as long as pricing is garbage. With OneDrive I get storage for about $18 / TB for a year. With Proton it's $96. For the record, Google One is around $48, Dropbox $69, iCloud $60. In other words, Proton is the worst value BY FAR. Not to mention with OneDrive I get full desktop and web office suites for 6 people.
