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 :)

      Here's a good laugh for you then. My brother, his girl friend and my son all have the Galaxy A15 5g and they are working absolutely great. My wife and I both have the A16 and they are working great also. Maybe you are laughing at the specs, but for under $100 I would hope you aren't expecting much.

      We need a game update frequency setting. * Right now your recent games will be auto updated overnight, and your unrecent games won't be updated. The bifurcation of recent and unrecent is fine, but we should be able to control the update frequency for both, with any of the following options: 1. Don't auto update 2. Auto update weekly 3. Auto update overnight 3. Auto update immediately (push) i.e. When I'm playing a lot, I want my recently played games to have push updates, so if a dev releases an update at 4pm, it's already downloaded on my Xbox by the time I get home. The current overnight cadence leaves a lot of wasted time waiting for updates on slow connections. My infrequently played games in ok with deferring to overnight, or maybe weekly, but let the users control their frequency. Basing it on data and last played sounds smart but ignores the human reality that often when I'm busiest and have the least time for games is when it sucks the most to come home and find a huge update list waiting for you.

      Genocide is intent to exterminate and both the Israeli government AND its people openly declare, even boast about their intent to exterminate Arabs. This society of sick psychopaths has even made songs about it. Zionist means believing Israel should exist as an religious ethno-state where only Jews have rights and everyone else is second class citizen. As for the blood libel thing, we already know zionists get off on killing children. We also know Israel is a safe heaven for all the pedophiles and rapists of the world. Honestly, after what we saw in the Epstein files, I wouldn't put anything past this depraved death cult. Of course all atrocities committed by tHe wOrLds mOsT mOrAl aRmY are always "unproven or taken out of context". Unfortunately for them, their soldiers are dumb enough to leave a trail of their war crimes all over social media. Then again, when you live in a society that's obsessed with death and destruction, posting videos of yourself in the act of ransacking homes and desecrating religious monuments earns you brownie points I guess. Israel is the only society in the world where people come out on the roads for the right to **** prisoners. Also claiming that the BBC said this and AP said that without so much as a link has gotten me curious. Are all zionists this dumb? I really hope you aren't getting paid for this because this is some low effort propaganda.
