I LOVED Windows Phone, and was DEVASTATED when it got discontinued. As a result, for the past 5 years, I've slowly trudged along, trying to reach a position where I can make my Android phone look and (kinda) function like my old Lumia 525.

After years of research, Square Home Launcher. The dev is awesome, and the one-time fee isn't that bad.

Here's how my screen looks:

Add in some red and I'd be getting MKBHD logo vibes.

Launcher is SquareHome Launcher, populated (mostly) by kustom widgets. Using PowerLine for a quick-glance battery strength reading (green line) at the top. The calendar at top scrolls (from calendar.google.com) and is part of a 6-sided shape with rotating faces — a SquareHome native widget. On that rotating widget cube I also have a Google Keep note for quick notes and info, a quick dialer, a favorite photo, and a list of recent alerts. The folders below, which are custom art, speak for themselves. The three-dot bubble opens up to Gmail, Google Tasks, Google Voice, Google Calendar, and a repeating alert app (Reminder Pro). The bar at bottom is another kustom widget, showing the status of the cell, wifi, and Bluetooth radios. Color bars indicate signal strength. • Also generally recommend the "Bottom Quick Settings" utility, and can't live without "Missed Notifications Reminder" utility. You should check them out.

Huh, there was a thread for this earlier over on c/asklemmy

Anyway here's mine. I keep the top bar on because I like seeing my notifications.

Nova Launcher, Crayon icon pack, Comic KWGT widgets

Edit: And here's my old one on this phone, I found a screenshot of it.

This screen has a good vibe, feels fun and relaxed.

Neo launcher + arctic icons dark

Clean is the way. All apps stay in the up-swipe menu.

[-] Hubi@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

Material you based design, one of many in the AIO launcher Apps and actions can be launched via search, and there is support for DuckDuckGo bangs

Wallpapers change every day, picked up from the Internet.

All applications are placed in categories, the most popular above category for quick launch (updated automatically, depending on the launch count)

The most ugly - multi-colored icons. I have to use an icon pack close to the default android, otherwise, randomly installed applications without support of icon pack will stand out.

Not too cute, but quite humanly usable.

I've basically had this same setup since I got my first Android phone (Motorola Droid X). I keep my most frequently used apps on the top row and then the bottom row is for the standard "utility" applications. Never really felt the need to deviate from this setup, despite using different launchers. I've used, in the past, GO Launcher (in the very early days of it's existence), Nova Prime, various versions of stock android. One UI is in the screenshot. I've gravitated away from getting to eccentric/complicated ever since getting out of college and have tried to go for just simple/easy to use.

TL;DR: I'm boring 😁🤷‍♂️

Icon pack: Nebula icons (purple icon, on the Play Store) Launcher: Samsung One UI Home, using Good Lock's Theme Park module to use Play Store icons.

There are also hidden stacked widgets, hiding battery stats, earbuds control and a music player widget. It's in the row above the dock but is hidden behind an empty KWGT widget.

Nova launcher, KWGT for the widget, Lines free icon pack

[-] kratoz29@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I usually use Monet icons, but I'm just testing Delta icons and liking them so far.

[-] 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).

Niagara Launcher, fishicons icons

[-] Curious_Canid@lemmy.ca 6 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.

Pixel 7 with a barely customized Nova Launcher, because I'm basic but I need rounded square icons.
The background looks iffy in the shot, but it's a live wallpaper from Shader Editor running Machine DNA's GLSL shader with minimal tweaks needed to make it fit on the phone.
That weird twitter icon is a Firefox PWA running twitter.com with various userscripts installed, to remove antifeatures and bad logos.

Nova launcher, custom made icons in purely B/W to match my background image. Some are entirely self made, some come from various online sources, some are AI generated and manually retouched.

Opening the folders on the home screen shows the app icons in color, otherwise transparent overlay would be a messy mix of lines.

(example with opened "security" folder)

Single screen homepage, no widgets. I hate animations and scrolling.
