We'll leave it to _ricketycricket to explain:
I'm a huge fan of the Mass Effect games. When I found this image, I knew I had to design a home screen around it, so I modified the image slightly in GIMP to fit my layout. Since I am partial to the minimal look I rely heavily on gestures to simplify things and keep a clean homescreen. Here's what I use:
The dock icons all have "swipe up" gestures. The Phone icon starts the phone when tapped, and Google Voice when swiped. The SMS icon starts Gmail when swiped, the Music icon starts Pandora, Chrome starts Facebook, and the Camera app starts Instagram?all in addition to their default apps when tapped.
Other gestures I've added include:
- Tap the home button from the home screen to open voice search
- Swipe up to open app drawer
- Swipe down to expand notifications
- Two-finger swipe up/down to show/hide notification bar
- Double tap to open settings
- Pinch out to open contacts
- Pinch in to open Nova settings
Do you have an awesome, tweaked-into-oblivion home or lock screen of your own that you'd like to share? Go ahead and post it on the #homescreenshowcase forum with a description of how you made it and it may be the next featured home screen.
