what are you guys using on your homescreens?

I've had the evo for a little while and I'm still overwhelmed with the homescreens. I have no clue what to put on them! (lol)

my front screen has a clock and consists of mostly default icons (messages, voicemail, people, mail and market) I added ATK to the front as well. the screen to the right I have a bunch of apps I use (flashlight, various soundboards and of course, the airhorn app)

as far as the rest, I only have my outlook calendar and thats it. what else should I put on my homescreens? I have 2 that are totally blank!

Re: what are you guys using on your homescreens?

You could remove the messages icon and use a blank one for the widget instead. (same goes for People) and then use two other icons to other apps on your home screen

Re: what are you guys using on your homescreens?

I 3.5 screens worth of icons on 5 screens. I also use LauncherPro, instead of Sense UI. This gives me 4 icons at the bottom of the screen, which helps free up some icon space.

Re: what are you guys using on your homescreens?

I used to use folders and 3 screens but I don't like how when you launch an app from a folder, the folder remains open on that home screen...so I just use 5 screens now.
