HOW TO TAKE SCREENSHOTs
-On Android Smart phone i think pressing poweroff button and home screen touch icon will take ur current screen or lock screen n save it in gallery.. It may be slightly different in different Android phones ( my xperia s gives option along with turn off option to take screenshot while pressing power off button(hardware). In Xperia S ICS- press and hold power button (top) n volume down together a sec will take screen of current page.. So it could be customised in different android handsets(company)
- On iPhone pressing n holding top power button and home button together will do the job of your current screen and save it in Camera Roll
- On Blackberry i think you have to install appz like Capture it or Zonasnap and take.. I'm not sure hardware key shortcut if it available if somebody knows share it..
- Window mobile - its difficult i think.. After googling it i read about some emulator screen tool , there is a capture it app as well... Share if any window phone users...
- Symbian , may be most used in India ( current popularity donno) i think same way Capture application...
Others please share n help....
As far as i know Android and windows mobile are most customizable compared to iOS or blackberry or Symbian... Share your current screen .. For Android you can see some complex Home screen as well as minimal simple (minimalistic ) theme which is the trend in developers world or hardcore smartphone users..... Some screen below...
How To Customize ur Screen
Well mainly Home screens(upto 7 in some theme launcher which u can slide across) and appdrawer [list of application icons] are customised in ANDROID. In iOS (apple) customization is very limited unless you jailbreak it (rooting or hacking in general terms). And there home screen n appdrawer are one unlike in android or symbian or traditional phone. Windows Mobile OS also doesnt have many screens.
Mostly screen is customised using Widgets, wallpapers , live wallpapers ( another cool feature of android) and beautiful custom icons for different applications....etc. When iPhone users just have to satisfy themselves looking at same screen and icons , android users can customize their screen with variety of widgets , wallpapers n icons using different launchers(theme).
Widgets:- There are many kinds of widgets for clock n date, weather, battery, calendar , news , facebook, photos etc and almost all applications have widget part which can be added to home screens..
Date and Clock :
UCCW (ultimate custom clock widget which inlcudes beautiful clock n time and weather wdigets and you can make ur own clock n weather images n add them...
Animated analogue clock - has second handle n cool looking
Beatiful widgets : Weather and has a live wallpaper which animates based on ur weather conditions( eg if its rain rain will be on wallpaper n sun mean sunny n clouds with cloudy conditions....
Also there are many widgets like minimalistic text, desktop visaulizer , last call, missdit, minimal reader, seven calendar , extended controls etc....Many are free and some paid too...
Launchers (Theme launchers):- Launchers are applications that bring your theme to phone screen. It acts like applications n opened on clicking the launcher icon or can be selected by touching home touch button and can be set defualt as well which you dont have to select anymore if u have installed a second one....Android phone comes with a default them launcher which are custmised by each company like touchwiz(samsung) n sense (HTC). Most popular luanchers in google playstore are Go Launcher, Launcher pro, ADWlauncher, MIUI, apex and nova launchers (ICS only)...There are free n paid versions for each launchers with enhanced features...
ICONS:- If u have some photoshop or other image editing skills along with some programming skills you can make icon packs like below and some launchers allow to change your icons of appdrawer and make it more beautiful...
