[–] ijeff@lemdro.id 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wow! What device are you on? Google Pixel 18?

Nah, the Samsung 2100 FE

I've had this setup for probably close to three years now and I don't see it changing anytime soon. I have a very similar theme on my desktop with the background changing hue depending on different programs running. The launcher is Lawnchair with the Arcticons Dark theme from F-Droid.

[–] Krachsterben@feddit.de 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If it's not cute, I don't want it ✨

[–] ijeff@lemdro.id 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nice aspect ratio! What device is this?

[–] Krachsterben@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

OnePlus Pad! The unique aspect ratio on android was actually one of the main selling points for me, not sure why it's not more common outside of iPads. So convenient. Probably would've gotten the Xiaomi Pad otherwise as they're the only brands with super fast charging

screenshot

Neo launcher + arctic icons dark

[–] heimchen@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 year ago

I built my own android version from LineageOs, just changed some colors and added one setting, but was so proud of myself that I named it HeimchenOs(after the crickets in my garden)

[–] sibloure 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Another Lawnchair / GrapheneOS setup

[–] faintwhenfree@lemmus.org 2 points 1 year ago

Thumbs up from fellow lawnchair user.

[–] Kreg@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

Have had this unchanged for 4 years!

[–] Drinvictus@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nothing special. I just love looking at my son. And material you + enhanced wallpaper makes a perfect home screen for me.

Ooh that does look slick, I like the uniform colors. Reminds me of a fallout terminal. Cute baby also :)

[–] RogueBanana@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 year ago

Nothing crazy like others but here's mine with kwgt.

[–] themarty27@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Google Pixel 7 Pro with GrapheneOS

NeoLauncher with NeoFeed on the left.

On the first page, Mull browser search, Geometric Weather (location edited out) and Metro (a fork of RetroMusic player removing some Google libs).

The second page is taken up entirely by Telegram FOSS (stock client with proprietary dependencies purged) and FairEmail widgets, but I'm not showing y'all my chats :P

I usually don't have any apps on my homescreen, except the dock, and I use it as a dashboard while launching apps from the drawer.

Apps in dock are Koler, QKSMS, Telegram FOSS and Gcam apk (don't remember from where).

[–] pixelscience@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Nothing too fancy, but colorful.

[–] Sirence@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Square Home
Widgets: Kwgt, Today Weather, Month + Agenda

[–] ijeff@lemdro.id 2 points 1 year ago

Very nice widgets!

[–] offthecrossbar 5 points 1 year ago

Mines pretty basic, I've been using this setup for years.

[–] random_username@lemdro.id 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Device: Galaxy A71

I like minimalism - and I'll avoid downloading any apps unless necessary, it's an unhealthy OCD. πŸ’€πŸ˜…

[–] ijeff@lemdro.id 4 points 1 year ago

Niagara Launcher might be up your alley.

[–] pink@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is a little old (Twitter app isn't a thing anymore lol), but it's the best screenshot I have. Custom widgets made by me for battery, alarm, media.

[–] FinallyDebunked@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

how make disarranged icons

[–] pink@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

I'm using Nova Launcher with the columns and rows turned way up

[–] Pyron@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Microsoft Launcher, Clock Widget self made with KWGT

[–] Thorny_Thicket@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lost my interest in customization a long time ago

[–] jcrabapple@infosec.pub 3 points 1 year ago

I love it though, it's so peaceful.

[–] Im28xwa@lemdro.id 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Seeing all of these amazing-looking home screens finally got me to switch from pixel launcher, I hated that I can't remove the Google app search widget and I must say as simple as fuck this new home screen is it is starting to grow on me I love how simple it is, Niagara launcher

[–] static@midwest.social 4 points 1 year ago

Niagara Launcher, fishicons icons

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago

Pear Launcher (dock currently has two pages, I may go to a Fediverse third page) with Whicons and a live wallpaper of two of the moons of Jupiter, which is also my lock screen:

So the unlocking is pretty seamless.

[–] ChronosWing@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago
[–] iamstevenrivers 4 points 1 year ago

OLauncher. Barebones and minimalist.

[–] Kadath@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago

Fold 3 with Niagara Launcher. Wallpaper Engine for the background.

[–] LegitNerd@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I've had Nova Launcher for a long time now, but I've recently grown bored of it and desired a change. I am giving KISS Launcher a shot after hearing good things about it here on Lemmy. This is my current setup.

Going to possibly be moving around launchers though. Main thing I need is a search bar

[–] idkwhereimgoin@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

Just simple. Stock LineageOS Launcher. There's a second page with more apps I can easily reach with my right thumb. I'm a one-hand user period. That includes typing too

[–] NENathaniel@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Nothing crazy but, I think Sesame + Today Weather widgets look really great and are very practical

[–] amycatgirl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Launcher is Lawnchair (12.1.0 Alpha 4)

Icons are the default system icons

[–] Curious_Canid@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

The background is generated by TerraTime, which also provides the neat little clock in the upper right corner. The daylight and cloud cover are accurate to near real-time. eWeather provides the radar map and the hourly weather widgets. I can see most of what I want to know about the weather at a glance.

I've been using Nova as my launcher for a very long time. Half of the icons are folders containing related apps. The phone and text buttons on the bottom open nested folders containing one-button dial and text icons for my most frequent contacts. Almost every icon also has a secondary swipe-up function, which gives me direct access to everything I regularly use.from just one screen. I have another screen that shows my work and personal calendars side-by-side and that's all I need.

[–] DeadGemini@waveform.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Damn some of you guys are creative! I'm fairly satisfied with my setup, but its pretty basic.

[–] Krachsterben@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

Oof the nostalgia. Rip Have Heart. Still one of the best albums in that genre

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Nova launcher and Chroma live wallpaper, try to keep it clean. Background changes each time I go home.

[–] faintwhenfree@lemmus.org 3 points 1 year ago

Lawnchair, Digical, Aquamail, Doodle: Live Wallpaper

KISS Launcher with Gadgetbridge, two Weawow widgets stacked, and Mincal Widget

My homescreen the launcher is smart launcher 6 with Pix material you icons. The Search widget app is Search Widget(Material You). The clock comes from the Pix Material You icon pack.

[–] mikestevens@lemdro.id 2 points 1 year ago

A very utility-focused home screen for me. I love looking at minimalist home screens, but I always seem to come back to this.
