I'll include links to the apps and widgets used on each screenie. Most are free. Prices are shown at the AppBrain links. And now, please enjoy my badass phone.
Time/Weather: Beautiful Widgets. Clock Style = DroidAndI, Weather Style = ANDROdena Weather Pack (which is way cool when it's not cloudy) http://www.appbrain.com/app/beautiful-w ... fulwidgets
Battery Widget: Tajm, also has setting for numbers. http://www.appbrain.com/app/tajm/net.bajawa.tajm
The microphone icon and several such large icons I use is a Desktop Visualizer widget ( http://www.appbrain.com/app/desktop-vis ... app.dskvzr ) which allows me to change almost any icon for any program. I can also change or delete the text that goes under it. The microphone launches Voice Recorder ( http://www.appbrain.com/app/voice-recor ... cerecorder ) for those Note To Self moments.
The Black Button launches the stock music player playing an MP3 of Beavis saying, "Boinnnnnnnng hehehehe!" and then closes. That never gets old for me. :D
Below those are my alternative to the power thingie called the SwitchPro Widget ( http://www.appbrain.com/app/switchpro-w ... .switchpro ). I only use the few things that are there, but there are about 4 times as many toggle switches that you can use. It's not all big and square and hideous like most other toggle switches. Colors are customizable.
The dock at the bottom is totally customized, a feature of the Home Launcher I am using, LauncherPro Plus ( http://www.appbrain.com/app/launcherpro ... e.launcher ). Even the dock background can be changed or excluded. Resize your widgets with this, too! Hancent SMS ( http://www.appbrain.com/app/handcent-sm ... nt.nextsms ) is an awesome and super customizable text program! Totally GET IT. And that little skull there, I swiped that off a screenie of some app I didn't want to buy, repainted it, and made it my own. This one launches the 3D app drawer which lists every app on the phone all in one place.
Again from the top down, there's the Google Search dealie that comes with Froyo. I just love touching that little mic and speaking my search words into the phone in front of people with tiny featureless flip phones from Wal-Mart.
Mobilse Notes ( http://www.appbrain.com/app/mobisle-not ... leNotesADC ) is for To-Do lists and all sorts of other lists (cool band names,
absurd quotes from AA meetings, my pet peeves as I encounter them, etc.).
Fast Call ( http://www.appbrain.com/app/fast-call/p ... d.fastcall ) puts the letters of the alphabet up for a click touch and dial rather than scrolling through your contact list.
I waded through hundreds of calendar icons until I found this one. Can you guess what app it launches?
My skull friend is back, this time as a Folder Organizer ( http://www.appbrain.com/app/folderorgan ... nizer.lite ) label. Touch each to open a screen that lists just the apps I've tagged into that label. This app also allows you to replace the default icon for all apps and shortcuts. The camera icon holds all camera apps, and there are way too many.
The Black Button on this screen launches One Eye ( http://www.appbrain.com/app/one-eye/com ... are.oneeye ), a spy camera that blacks out the screen and kills the shutter sound and flash, perfect for snapping those pics you don't want anyone knowing you snap. heh It makes insanely low-res thumbnails, not sure if that's by design or not. Hoping for a better free spy cam app some day.
LauncherPro's calendar widget. And in case you're wondering, Stephanie is an ex of mine from 1987. Haven't seen her since then. Should be an interesting dinner!
You zombie lovers will recognize the logo of the Umbrella Corporation. It's a large Desktop Visualizer widget that launches the Aldiko book reader ( http://www.appbrain.com/app/aldiko-book ... ko.android ) which I currently have full of the Resident Evil books, freely downloaded using Aldiko! Tons of other free books and series as well.
LauncherPro's People widget. Touch to open a small bar that allows you to choose whether you wish to call, text, email, or view their contact info. It is very similar to the Sense UI widget as are most of LauncherPro's widgets.
I recently loaded a lot of songs onto my phone and am trying out various free music players. This one is called 3 Cube or something ( http://www.appbrain.com/app/%C2%B3/org. ... rockonnggl ). I'm brand new to it. Loaded here is a brand new rough cut from the next Rosey CD!
The tiny button below it is a Memory Optimization widget that's included with the Open Home launcher app ( http://www.appbrain.com/app/open-home-f ... .openhome2 ). No idea how or IF it works. I push it from time to time.
All Desktop Visualizer widgets, the clock launches Alarm Klock ( http://www.appbrain.com/app/alarm-klock ... alarmclock ), the app I use to wake me up every morning. So far, even with earplugs in, it gets the job done!
Next is an icon I made that launches the most awesome game Angry Birds ( http://www.appbrain.com/app/angry-birds ... birds_lite ). Only a lite version for Android so far, it's highly addictive and free!
The Yankee hat launches Scoreboard ( http://www.appbrain.com/app/scoreboard/ ... scoreboard ), a fully customizable app you sports nuts will love. I am only interested in my might Yankees and I have customized this Scoreboard to play a baseball organ riff whenever a Yankee game starts and whenever a run is scored in a Yankee game. A notification is sent to me that gives me the current score in real time. I push that and I get full details of the game.
The shark launches my absolutely favorite game Hungy Shark ( http://www.appbrain.com/app/hungry-shark/com.fgol.shark ). Soooo much eating. Totally worth the money!
And finally, yes, that's me, zombified! ZombieBooth ( http://www.appbrain.com/app/zombiebooth ... ombieBooth ) is worth ten times the $1.38 I paid for it! I have zombified just about everyone I know, freaking them all out! Stills can be saved and shared via the app for those who wants to pass the scary on.
All screens at a glance, just like Sense UI. Loving the LauncherPro Plus!
I hope you found this informative and fun and got some good leads on some sweet apps and widgets. Aaaaaand.....BBA RULES!
