Lately I've been rearranging the home screens on my phone, and with all the widgets and apps out there the possibilities are endless. Just wondering how other people make use of their homescreens, might give me ideas on how to use mine Smiley.

Right now from left to right I have..

1 - blank
2 - htc calendar widget (the first style)
3 - mostly settings widgets - power control, then Mobile, 4G, Airplane Mode, and Sound Profiles
4 (Home) - Beautiful widgets home, my freq used apps, and a wifi widget
5 - Music/Media widgets and apps
6 - Other freq used apps
7 - tip calculator!

Post your descriptions and/or screen captures if you like! I think we could all learn how to better layout our Evo's! I'll try to get my screen captures soon!

EDIT - Adding some screen captures! Got one of my lock screen too

Care to give a list of what apps you're using? I like the way yours is set up.

Lock screen - WidgetLocker

Home screen - Multicon for the small icons, Beautiful Widgets for the clock/weather and wifi widget, Apps Organizer for my folders

Widget screen - AudioManager, Battery Widget

My music player is MixZing

I think that's all the apps shown on those screens that aren't obvious. If there's any I missed you're curious about then let me know!

I like this... i always find a new app or something that makes me re-organize my home screens....

Once I find some time, I will post what I have... but right now is as messy as the sock drawer or a 12 year old...

I'm happy so far with mine but I'm constantly tweaking it.

And the other side (above were lock, main, and those to the left, these are to the right except the calculator, which is the farthest left).

Khassy do you not find it hard to find the app you're looking for with all those little icons??

I tried having one of my pages set up like that once and I liked it at first but then it drove me nuts! Are you using launch-x? I know it's not multicon, but I admit the slightly larger icons make it look a LOT less cluttered than half a page of multicons does.

Yup, using Launch-X Pro. I have them set up into groups, like communications, news-type stuff, reference programs, games, settings, etc. Only takes a short time to get used to where things are, but I also use Power Strip, which puts the most used ones at my fingertips with long pressing the search button, and with Vlingo I just tell it which app to open so I don't have to search. Everything so far is working really well together.

I think I asked in another thread somewhere, I can't find which thread it is so I'll ask here again because it relates better and I won't ever ask again.

Though searching is my friend (of course Khassy, I knew that! cuz I use google all the time) I have a bit better knowledge about the home screens from the 3 stock homescreens to the sense ui 7 screens.

Is there any way to add more than that? I guess 7 is plenty, but I am not sure I like the idea of having tiny icons, I was looking forward to the bigger screen so I could have bigger icons... I am visually challenged despite how well I drive.

Yes, you can have a lot more. Just set up a new scene.

I don't have my phone yet, so I will have to do a search and see if I come up with anything before asking further Smiley.  Its kinda weird to pretty much already know how to use it without actually having one....  Cool

EDIT: I found some info on how to modify/delete themes, but nothing on adding them (and of course the info about mod/delete obviously gives a good indicator of how to add too) but the question I have is how would I access additional scenes? Are Scenes accessed the same way as the 7 screens are?

Khassy, I like your calendar, it isn't one of the selectable options and I am guessing I need to download custom calendar designs?

Jorte is the main calendar. Calwidget is the agenda on the main page.

coolio, I don't want to copy you or anything but looks like I'm gonna need that weather widget too! It looks like it takes up less space than the awesome HTC weather clock Tongue
