What does your homescreen looks like?

Hi, I am just curious to see what other peoples homescreen looks like. I seem to get very bored of the same thing for too long. Guess the g/f should be worried eh So I am always looking for new layouts for my phone. Anyways, here is a picture of my current homescreen. I am using wm5 on my sp5m.

Mine is an HTC Home with Facada/Battery/Calendar and Skype, oh yeah and a Vista Wallpaper

Nothing fancy here.. HTC-Home with customised Blue theme. I could do with tidying it up a bit more to fit more info on.

Just HTC Home + Recent programs on Tornado (left) and the same + HTC Media Player on Vox (right)

And yet another perfect example of users (above poster) having to add there 2 cents to a thread they have no business posting in. If you have nothing good to say, save it for a thread that you create. Are you a hall monitor or something??

'Some' people in this forum have some serious problems.. wow! I have always thought the the whole point to a forum was to talk & ask questions about a certain topics. I guess not here.. I wonder why this forum even allows people to start threads??
Illi - Try very hard to understand this... I started a thread, you then replied in the thread. I then replied to you like normal adults do in a 'message' forum. Then you reply ..
"OPEN YOUR EYES
OPEN YOUR MIND!
and dont ask silly question."
Grow up man! I sorry I missed your weather program. How about saying something along the lines of 'my weather program is listed in that post'?? Or maybe if your really that pissed off about it, try saying nothing at all? Why so rude? Is the internet the only place you could get away with saying something like that to someone without getting slapped in the back of your head? If so, I really hope you feel better..
With that said, I would I to apologize for all the inconvenience I was caused this forum (well mostly illi & bipinsen, I really think they lose sleep over stuff like this) for my forbidden double post in a forum with over 1000 posts. I am sure it will happen again with another new user but no worries everyone, illi & bipinsen will be there to show there true age!
And they will live happily ever after.
Again, why can't people not post if they have nothing good to say?? This will be the topic of my next thread! Hope it's not a repeat

Captivate vs Iphone 4 vs Nexus One

I was trying to help others in similr situations. But unfortunately the biased fanboys came to town to complain about the iphone being better in which I made no such claims. I happened to be in a situation where I have been doing extensive testing to determine which phone is best for me and tried to share. Nuff said. Mods please delete this useful, detailed, but not wanted post.

yeah it does...but not be an asshole, but was this thread really needed?
There is an iPhone vs. Captivate thread already here, and adding the nexus one is a nice touch but it could have been placed in the same thread.
I liked the post, I'm just all for keeping the forum clean and every day i check and there is another 30 threads all of them kinda similar...we need a mod (i'd do it) fast so that we can merge threads
EDIT: I just noticed you wrote the same EXACT thing in that thread...this thread is really useless...

if we all just stop posting it'll go away...until mods can start locking threads

Cons: No flash/light for camera or Video. No LED notifications. No front-facing camera. No cursory navigation (trackball or other software based cursor placement). Poor power button placement. Stuttering OS experience. Poor sound on speaker, tinny sounding.

Theres no need for the camera to have flash...its good enough as it is, led notifications it was good back in 2000, front facing camera errr theres only one us carrier that supports cripple quik video calls(sprint),trackballs,trackpads?? it has a touchscreen...use your fingers duh!, stuttering os? wtf i have had no lags what so ever, install launcher pro...poor speaker sound?? wtf do you want, a 1000w subwoffer?, tinny sounding? your insane i guess, the captivate has an onboard 3d sound card which deliver's exelent sound output/input.
btw: stop reposting bull**** this is getting very annoying.............

You're right it was useful AND detailed - but you posted it twice. If you've ever been apart of ANY forum you know that people don't like double posts.
I don't see any comments about you thinking the iPhone is better, nor do I see any fanboys in this thread...all I see is a post made by you that has almost the same exact title as another post right before it in which you posted this same exact content.
THAT is the area of discontent amongst the forum users

Instead of trying to find info at the bottom or middle of a thread, I tried to put the info out there in the face. As much as I don't like clutter or stupid posts, I do like to find info. For every post that has info, there are thirty posts with ignorant comments. I was trying to help. But obviously those that can't see the truth, cant be helped.

That is the sentiment I was trying to convey.
Also the title promotes fanboyism and challanges other's perspectives which would start a war.

I guess replying to an existing post and creating a new thread are different in my eyes. I thought I was helping by bring the info up top. I saw no stickied posts. My bad. I don't post much here, so I see how the law of the land is (doesn't exist). Peace...

you can be as bitter and snide as you want, but the fact still remains that you were double posting and giving out pure opinion.
there are two threads already created, one comparing the facts of both phones and one with user impressions...
you posted your opinion fine. people who are looking for information should search for it, it does not take long, especially when the thread title is so descriptive. Also, the thread is so active that it is always near the top, it wouldn't take much to find your thoughts.
eventually the comparison will be stickied, but until then being one of the top 5 topics should be enough to help anyone who needs to find YOUR specific observations (many of which are not shared by the consenting public)
so goodbye, I'm sure no one will miss you here

Can You Word Wrap Text in WP7 in Webpages?

is it possible to word wrap text as you zoom in webpages on wp7? like in android, when you zoom in on webpages, the text wraps to the screen.. is this possible in wp7? if not, are there any tweaks that lets you do this?

Not that I know of. Hopefully IE9 allows this as I did like that on the Android browser.

i would like also to know

you already posted this question in the WP7 General, here. Please don't double post in the XDA forums.

Yeah I had this with Opera on 6.5xx - so it was a little bit of a shock not having it on WP7. Hope IE9 solves this issue.

While the user in question may not be a mod, the way I see it he is perfectly entitled to ask you to refrain from double posting.
Please do not post a question multiple times as it will not lead to you getting an answer any quicker.
As far as I'm concerned, this thread has run its course as you have received a definitie answer to your question here, anything else is superfluous.

[Mod Request] "New" user posting restrictions

I've been a member of xda-dev since 2006 but have made only a few posts.
I'm interested in becoming more active and contributing as a developer, but I have some pretty strict posting restrictions because I'm a "new" user. (Post timing, edit timing, no links, etc)
Would it be possible to have these restrictions removed based on that fact that I've been a member for 6 years without incident?
Thanks,
tekkdrone

i don't think time on this board has to do with anything. you've been a member for 6 years yet only have 4 counted posts, which means you probably havent contributed much[not dissing you] to have the initial restrictions lifted

I caught that too. But I'm the noob, so maybe I'm counting posts wrong. But if I have to post over 300 posts to lift my "10 post" restriction, I'll never be able to post in the non-general forums.

Yeah, I also find the restrictions a little annoying. I've been working with Android for a few years, but I never joined up here. Now that I have, I can't be seen as a developer until I've made a certain amount of posts. Not the end of the world, but still not a very good idea considering that anyone can easily get around this.

Agreed.
Yesterday, I was forced to PM a ROM developer regarding a serious issue since I wasn't able to post in the thread.

Not that I fall into this category or anything, but what is the post count to post as a developer?
This is the first forum I've been on with these kinds of restrictions. I find it odd.

The post count restriction is for those users that only join to spam the development threads with "MY CAMERA DOESN'T WORK. WHY DOESN'T IT WORK?!!?!!!!!1"
If you want the restrictions lifted, just follow a thread and join the conversation.

Please have a look here: Postcount limit in developmental fora
I can understand the frustration this might bringt to some of you - but as said in the thread above, there's no better alternative.
If you have one, bring it out.

restrictions do not make sense because I tasted such a Rom and see problems in it and I can tell the developer, who might not have noticed, but good forums are rules and should be respected

I know that feeling. Every time I got a real problem, then I found that I'm under the posts count restriction. But can't deny this is effective to prevent thread form spamming.

Neither of those comments will be remotely useful to a developer or to a development thread.
If you were posting something along the lines of
I have recently installed your ROM v3.1 and have encountered a problem with synchronizing my calendar if I am running application 'Z'. I have rolled back to v3.0 and this problem didn't exist. I have also tried various other ICS ROMs and don't get the same problem.

and you had searched the thread fully to ensure that nobody else had reported the problem and it wasn't listed in the 'Known Issues' at the start of the thread ...
... then the post might be worthwhile making.

and so on - problems that are well known to exist in every ICS-based ROM on our platform.
These sort of questions just cause anger and waste time - both for the devs who are trying to do a fantastic job for free and the people who actually want to join in and have the capability to help the devs with testing and troubleshooting.
I hope that you understand a bit clearer now. I, personally, don't think the 10 post limit is enough. I don't believe any XDA member should be able to post into the dev threads unless they have been approved by at least one dev - based on previous posts, helping other users and general attitude.

Search long enough and you'll find your answer! But don't be so "specific" with the search engine. By looking for the answer to just the "note 5" only you're drastically reducing your chances of finding an answer because usually what works on one, works on another.
