Fresh (well as of yesterday) install of CyanogenMod 12.1 on my Nexus 7. Moonshine Icons, Google Now Launcher, Chronus widget.

The best part of this thread is the beginning. :D K750i desktops.. oh hello 11 years ago!

Agreed. Going back and looking at the entire thread now. Wish Imageshack still had all of the old images still hosted.

Nexus 5 homescreen
Android 5.1.1 stock + root
Icon pack: KMZ - The Material Icon Pack
Wallpaper: Muzei Live Wallpaper met Android Marshmallow preview 3
Time/weather widget: Chronus: Home & Lock Widget

LG G Watch homescreen
Watchface: FORM Watch Face
Wallpaper: Muzei Live Wallpaper

Muzei provides the same wallpaper for my LG G Watch, FORM Watch Face works together with Muzei, it extracts the colors from the wallpaper and aplies them to the time.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of love for Win 10 Mobile so I thought I'd put this up. It's from a few months ago, before I went back to WP8. I don't particularly like W10  Mobile overall but I reall ylove the way you can customise the hell out of the homescreen.

What is the icon pack? I've been looking for some nice square icons.

Nex icon pack

Note: i chose different icons for outlook, play store and massaging from within the icon pack

mines simple, background and theme & font are all from LG World on my 3Gb G3. resolution is 2560x1440

With the facial recognition turned on the lock screen, my face reflects onto Ceasars, pretty cool accidental side effect :D to unlock my handset.

    • It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.
    • Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.
    • I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.
    • It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
