"Oh and of course you can 'customize everything' and here you have 4 examples of the most ugly homescreens I have ever seen on a mobile phone."

Agreed. I really don't like the look of most Android customisations. I think default Android is pretty gorgeous, though.

My homescreen currently looks like this - http://i1.minus.com/iidfIgCTZsXEX.png

The only thing I've added is the widget: everything else is stock. I'm very happy with the way it looks.

What is that widget? It looks great!

You can get it here - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.pooley.beta....

You'll also need to install the 'Ultimate Clock Widget' app from here - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.vineetsiroh....

Enjoy!

The coolest bit is that I can install both of these on my phone and tablet (which is back at home and not with me) right now via the links you just shared without having to interact with either device.

What's funny is that this feature gets often pointed out as one of the cool Android exclusives, but iOS has it too: you just need to turn on Automatic Downloads in the store settings, it works for apps as well as media and books purchased from the store.

It's more limited, in that it will download all purchases made on any other device (or iTunes) connected to the same account, but it seems like very few people are aware of it.

Apple does not have a web bases store right? You still have to use itunes and download the app to the computer? Android install can be done via the web store from what I understand

you have to do it from iTunes, but you don't have to download to the computer or do any syncing. It works the same way as Android, just from the iTunes app instead of a web browser.

I didn't know about this. It would have been better if I didn't need to launch Itunes though.

If it works more or less the same then I happily stand corrected.

Thanks :)

Very nice screen. I have an iPhone 4S, but I'm thinking of switching to a Nexus 4. I'm glad to see that it doesn't have to be ugly.
