Good site for Android wallpapers? I can't find anything good.

I've used wallbase.cc a few times. It's not specifically for Android wallpapers, but it's often in a higher resolution.

If you want to nice wallpaper that doesn't take the focus away from your icons & widgets, I suggest Simple Desktops

Looks like we need the OP to update the first post with basic customization info.

Oh wait, it's all already there. Come on new guys!

Come on. It's not that hard to just answer a quick question like that.

I think I'm getting close to what I want. Still not completely happy with LP. I really like the minimal dock set-up, but it doesn't seem quite as stable as ADW.

Tell me everything I need to know to get my phone to look like this :O

Looks like Launcher Pro and Beautiful Widgets. and battery circle widget.

Think I found a home screen style I like.

 

[sharkmuncher]

Clock/Weather is beautiful widget
Battery is Circle battery widget
Launcher is Launcher Pro
Wallpaper is cropped from a desktop wallpaper from the brewing network forums

I am running a rooted incredible w/ CyanogenMod 7, but pretty sure all that adds at this point is the black status bar.

What is the clock widget there?

It's called BobClockD3....

https://market.android.com/details?id=bob.clock

I've tried using it a bit, but have to constantly remove it. It just stops updating for the correct time. YMMV, obviously, as it seems a lot of people like it. But for me, when I place the widget, it would only work and update properly for a couple hours. After that it would just stick and never update with the correct time. It's free though, so might as well give it a shot.

Lol they all have zero balances. Just don't wanna remove em in case I make a purchase on any one of them.

Same happened to me actually. Killed the widget after that. :/

Glad it wasn't just me then. I tried using it off an on from back when it was in beta form on XDA, all the way up through the Market release. Even through all the updates, for some reason it would just do the same thing, and stop working. Oh well.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

It happened to me, too, but I made sure the clock launched when selected. When I didn't do that, it stopped updating.

 

[Calamachino]

Haven't had that problem yet, but i'll be sure to keep an eye out for it.

It was time for a change, so here is my new, current setup. I went a little more clean and simplistic this time. I got the idea from the WidgetLocker theme thread at XDA when I saw the "Daft Punk" slider. Found the wallpapers and tweaked them to fit my needs. Links provided to everything used....

Just received my Galaxy S2 - I am almost done with it but I still am not 100% happy with my lock screen.

I want 3 icons that displays how many new emails, calls & SMS I have. I don't want these icons to be pressed to get me there - I just want it displayed on my lockscreen, preferably with the LauncherPro icon set.

Am I being dumb in not knowing how to do this?

 

[seb]

You can't do that with the default lock screen as far as I know. Widget Locker is the way to go but I don't know if it works with the galaxy S II (because of TouchWiz).
Edit: Simply Lockscreen does the job too for free. Testing it right now, a lot of options and it looks good.

Do you know if this program plays nice with Launcher Pro? That problem is why I stopped using Widget Locker.

I just purchased an Samsung Epic 4G yesterday, and while I've been using the Google Reader widget for my RSS feeds, I'm looking for one similar to what I saw in this thread, where there are several feeds on one home screen from different sites.

Anyone know which widget is that and where I can download it?

 

[bangai-o]

how well is Google Documents on these tablets?

create document, download as pdf, and viewing the pdf file?

I'm a golfer, so keeping tabs on what the weather is doing, or going to be doing, helps me plan my time out on the course.

Good info to have

 

[Lucius86]

Looks like I found an answer to my probs - download from the app store 'SMS Unread Count'.

It's a widget you add to the lockscreen. You can customise the icon to any you have downloaded, and when you add it to the screen, long hold it, let go, and then a finger icon turns up in the corner of the area, which toggles if pressing it makes any difference on the lock screen.

Hope this helps someone - just need to find my icons now!

Anyone have any clue why downloaded skins won't apply on Beautiful Widgets? Tried uninstalling, re-installing, removing all skins, rebooting phone etc. etc. but nothing works. I can only use the default skins.

 

[Antd0403]

Anyone know any good widgets that display stock ticker activity?

Problem happens when using Google weather as opposed to AccuWeather in the widget settings.

Ok, after enjoying the stock touchwiz of Froyo for two months, I've finally begun the dig into customizing my T-Mo SGS. Downloaded Launcher Pro and Battery Circle and paid for Beautiful Widgets. Right now I'm having trouble finding a nice folder icon to replace all the folders on my home page. Any tips? I don't use a lock screen and I don't want to root it.

Home screen. Need a great folder icon to replace these.

Where can I get that Rom? I haven't had any luck rooting/flashing my X, but I haven't been looking very hard. Tired of 2.2.1

You will want the two file install since you are still on Froyo. It is well worth it, and after using the Gingerbread leaks for almost two months now I don't miss Froyo for one second.
