Share Your Homescreen

As the title says, if you'd like to, share your home screen. Interested on how you all have your phones customized.

I like the idea, but don't see a way to directly upload a picture. I have an inkling why that might be (abuse in the past).

Jojojo Oh, cool, what icon pack?

@AlanZ Yeah, I never know a proper photo host to use, so I use imgur or imgbb

43t34fg4 Arcticons Material You from F-Droid. :)
And the launcher is Kvaesisto, also on F-Droid (I recommend adding in the Kvaesisto/M20 repo for faster updates) for anyone who is interested.

Imgur of course reduced the quality of the screenshot, but here it is anyway.

mmmm

Could have just written mine on paper but here you go:

God, it is so hard for me to find a configuration I'll be satisfied with for more than a week😅
Just today I wasted 3 hours or so trying new stuff and still ended up using my old design which is this:

I use the smart launcher and have arranged the most important apps in a honeycomb. The idea was to make it easily accessible for both thumbs. The double tap feature is also extremely helpful in keeping the screen as minimalistic as possible. The only problem is that this launcher seems to be a little bit worse performance wise than the stock launcher.
The icon pack and wallpaper I change constantly, here is another variation:

My favorite icon packs are poppin and caelus duotone. For Wallpapers I like to use Wallman, Under the Sea Live Wallpaper and the live wallpapers from maxelus.net

Clueless These are some sick homescreens you have got there, sheeeesh.

Clueless Definitely prefer the 2nd one!

Honesty, in my opinion, Android customization is rather pathetic, half-assed affair. So you apply an icon pack and then what? You only see the custom icons on the desktop, what about when you go to the Share Sheet? What about the Recents Switcher? When you go to Settings -> Apps -> Recently Opened Apps? Yeah, no custom icons applied, just generic icons.
I find this inconsistency extremely vexing and therefore never use icon packs anymore. iOS might not offer nearly as many "customization options", but at least it does icon changes properly - throughout the UI.

Thanks, hopefully this keeps me from changing it again for a while😅
I just found the cuscon pack on droid, which looks awesome to: https://drive.proton.me/urls/ZPK1YGEDW8#mMt5Sx0W4Lfy

Here is the backup file for my configuration if anyone is interested: https://drive.proton.me/urls/3B75S33GA0#KiMEM3o8i3Ye

Okay, I don't wanna be this guy reviving old posts, but here we go: https://imgur.com/a/afJSLJR

Launcher: Lawnchair 14 (Beta)
Icon Pack: Arcticons Material You
Widget: Breezy Weather (Clock + Daily vertical style -> rectangle with custom subtitle)
Wallpaper: Groove, After Dark (Dynamic) - from Google's original Pixel Wallpapers. Installed through WallMan.

On that note, does anyone know any widgets from any FOSS app that look good? I'll take all suggestions.
KWGT unfortunately is dying a slow death right now (many widget packs got yeeted off the Play Store due to being Target API 23 or something like that), so installing KWGT is beating a dead horse in spite of it showing ads when you install it, since the FOSS version is downloaded even by Aurora. So KWGT is out anyway. I'm eager to hear some inspirations.

Still rocking this 2016 LG wallpaper. Lawnchair, KWGT an Breezy Weather: https://drive.proton.me/urls/M75Y72GTVG#2-gfEuKPvGmW
