Let’s rewind the clock!
From 2014, Nexus 5 with my favorite launcher of all time, Aviate. I miss the rom scene, spent so much time tinkering with it.
HTC Incredible 2 First smart phone March 2012
November 2013
HTC One M8 This was amazing phone at the time. July 2014
The early android modding years were awesome. I miss getting up every morning checking Twitter to see what was new.
From 2011, I thnk this was on the original Samsung Galaxy (Can’t find it only to confirm), the one with the “sticky out chin”. This was my first true smartphone after having used a Blackberry Bold I think, before which I had a Blackberry Pearl, and before that Dell Axim alongside maybe a Nokia 6820? How far we’ve come!
Edit: I think this might actually have been from my HTC Hero… probably shortly before I move on to an HTC Desire or maybe even the Desire itself.
Edit 2: It must have been the Desire, resolution of 480x800 on the screenshot.
2014 some special launcher forgot what it was called
Probably KWGT or KLWP - Kustom Widgets / Kustom Live Wallpaper. You could use any launcher as a base, but completely change the look of your homescreen using either of them.
Simple lockscreen screenshot I found from 10 years back, and where I was making AndroidLost persistent across factory resets on a Galaxy S2
Fun times.
