Android users: show your homescreens!

[Backdraft]

For those that use WidgetLocker, do u notice any impact to battery life? Im seriously liking this app but want to know if there are any significant pitfalls.

WidgetLocker?

WidgetLocker

It basically adds another screen (ie. the lockscreen) so you can add widgets/apps, so I thought it belonged in this thread. Maybe I'll ask around in one of the other Android threads.

Whoa, which control widget (for WiFi, 3G, etc.) is that?

There's a few that let you customize... I use Power Control Plus.

You can see what I've done with it in this post.

Power Control Plus, it's very flexible, you can add and remove stuff you want...but not free though.

My new lockscreen (using WidgetLocker).

You can see this and more here

What's the data usage widget? Would be interesting to have.

It's part of the MyVerizon Mobile app. It came out shortly before they intro'd tiered data. I usually didn't use it, but now I do since I tether more often.

and what's that android icon on the left corner on the notification bar?

Isn't that just indicating USB debug mode? (required by wired tethering apps for example).

Correct! I just can't be arsed to turn it off.

I use dodol's phone usage app for monitoring data, it puts the counter in the notification drawer.

 

[cl191]

ohhh....i still have sense UI on, it has a different usb debug logo.

What did you use? ShootMe works, but it's annoying since sometimes my phone gets confused and re-renders my widgets so I have to try a few times.

There's also PicMe by the same author, which allows you to connect to your phone via the browser and get the feed (F5 to refresh), then just right click --> save as, or you can run a java applet, which lets you control the phone with the mouse.

I used ShootMe, It gets the job done nicely.
