    Let's see some creativity here. How have you setup your start and/or lock screen? Let's see some pictures!

    [TIP]
    • To take a screenshot: press the Volume Up & Power buttons at the same time.
    • Screenshots have their own folder inside the Photos App,
    • Sometimes an error will pop up at the top of the display saying that a screenshot could not be taken. Check the photo library anyway, the screenshot will likely still be there.


    [/TIP]

    Get your layout pimped and post the results right here...

    Still a work in progress but what the hell lol. I still have a few spots to fill on the start screen and I don't even have my other sim in at the moment.

    Hyperexpert, I've never seen anyone do that with the transparency. That is genius!

    How did you get that lock screen? Is that a new app?

    That's the start screen, the weather tile is "Amazing Weather HD" and I used "Empty Tiles" app to create the empty tiles - transparency set to 100

    I dig it.
    I think the "All apps ->" ruin it though.
    I personally think it would be icing to the cake if you shoved in transparent blank tiles underneath to move the "all apps ->
    out of the screen. But that's just me. Looks amazing ether way.

    I really like the semi-transparent Empty Tiles. Again, something I never thought of doing.

    I keep chaning my start screen every 5 minutes! I don't want to fill it all with busy tiles. Yet, I still want to be able to easily access most of my daily used apps
