The City Lights Android Home Screen

Lifehacker reader Cristóbal López shares his simple, beautiful Android home screen with a Metro-inspired icon theme.

This home screen doesn’t have a lot going on, but boy is it pretty. All you have is a few icons at the bottom and a widget at the top — not even an App Drawer — but Nova Launcher’s gestures mean you don’t need to clutter up your screen with icons. Here’s what went into putting this home screen together:

• A Samsung Galaxy S phone, running the Tiramislim Ice Cream Sandwich ROM
• Nova Launcher, a highly customisable launcher for Ice Cream Sandwich
• The Metro Inspired icon set, which you can install with Nova Launcher
• Beautiful Widgets for the clock widget
