Since Android let's you customize the look and feel of your device (unlike other platforms ;)), I thought it would be nice to share our setups. Please include a list of everything you are using to get the look you are. :)

How to take screenshot:

Root:

Just download any of the many free screenshot apps on the market

No Root:

1. Download Android SDK, install (Download anything it asks you to)
2. Install Platform-Tools from SDK
3. Install USB drivers (for Nexus phones you can get them from the Android developers website, for other phones, must go to manufcturer website)
4. Install USB drivers: http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html#Win7
5. Run ddms.bat from your tools directory (C > Program Files > Android > android-sdk > tools)
6. In window click: device > screen capture
7. Use phone to navigate to screen you want, then click refresh and save in the window on your computer

Here are mine:

Desktop:



Launcher: Go Launcher

Go Launcher Theme: D.Suger

Dock icons: Custom, made with "Simple Text"

Widgets:
Default News and Weather widget that came preloaded on Nexus S
Simple Calendar
Phantom Music Control (use to control any music player)
BattStatt

Lockscreen:



App: WidgetLocker

Widget: Phantom Music Control (use to control any music player)

Slider Skin: MNML Light

Most of my settings are still pretty much at default. The noticeable changes I've made there include Ice Galaxy wallpaper, Any.Do widget and I've replaced the phone and contact with the GO versions. I actually like the default date/time/weather. When I get tired of it, I'll play around with Beautful Widgets.

Lockscreen

Edit:

Okay, I've played around with some Widgets and themes, here's what I have now:

Too much effort. Just picture a hot babe with only panties on and she is on her knees and hugging her self to make her chest pop out even more.

I didn't have to do that some rooted software work with home button + power. There is a method to do it using the android sdk with platform tools. It is a little complex though. Link make sure you install platform tools after installing the sdk.

Why the complicated process to take a screenshot? It's just a simple two-button press. No root or app required.

Because most of us aren't running ICS.

I tried to do this, but gave up. Fricking alignment was killing me. Oh well, it wasn't all a waste though, leared about Minimalistic text, invisible buttons, etc..

New screens:

  • Launcher: Go Launcher Pro
  • Theme: Bberry
  • Widgets: Minimalistic Text and Phantom Music
  • Locker: Go Locker Four Key
