Pixel 7 with a barely customized Nova Launcher, because I'm basic but I need rounded square icons.
The background looks iffy in the shot, but it's a live wallpaper from Shader Editor running Machine DNA's GLSL shader with minimal tweaks needed to make it fit on the phone.
That weird twitter icon is a Firefox PWA running twitter.com with various userscripts installed, to remove antifeatures and bad logos.
Microsoft Launcher, Clock Widget self made with KWGT
I'm still working on my background in kustom live wallpaper. I added a screen for easy use in the car. My app icons are Umbra by Vertumus.
Animated in KLWP: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10VIyDcVwaOH6SUuY7LK-iJzSNfG9mIOT/view?usp=drive_link
Screenshots
Device: Galaxy A71
I like minimalism - and I'll avoid downloading any apps unless necessary, it's an unhealthy OCD. ππ
Niagara Launcher might be up your alley.
Using KWGT Pro (paid) with Koda for KWGT slightly modified.
Wallpaper is from iOS 17 carplay. I like using this app for browsing for good stock wallpapers.
Icon pack is Flora (paid) very nice material design icon pack that's not too noticeable if some are not themed.
This is Nova launcher latest beta.!
Wallpaper : part of the default ones on the Google pixel 7pro. The wallpaper is rotated daily which will change the device theme thanks to Material You
Launcher : Nova launcher
Widgets : Another Widget for the one at the top, the Google search bar at the bottom
Icon pack : Oreo Icon Pack mostly but the app does not exist anymore. The icons are still there since it's a Nova backup from at least 5 years ago
Each icon is a folder. I setup nova to open the first app of the folder with a swipe up on the icon and to open the folder when tapping on the icon
Also I have a swipe right gesture that opens Google News as a left pane
Simple nova launcher setup with all my most used apps within thumbs reach.
Niagra launcher <3
Mines pretty basic, I've been using this setup for years. 
Seeing all of these amazing-looking home screens finally got me to switch from pixel launcher, I hated that I can't remove the Google app search widget and I must say as simple as fuck this new home screen is it is starting to grow on me I love how simple it is, Niagara launcher
S22+ Nova Launcher KWGT + Nothing for KWGT
Pear Launcher (dock currently has two pages, I may go to a Fediverse third page) with Whicons and a live wallpaper of two of the moons of Jupiter, which is also my lock screen:
So the unlocking is pretty seamless.
Damn some of you guys are creative! I'm fairly satisfied with my setup, but its pretty basic.
Oof the nostalgia. Rip Have Heart. Still one of the best albums in that genre
Lawnchair, Digical, Aquamail, Doodle: Live Wallpaper
Fold 3 with Niagara Launcher. Wallpaper Engine for the background.
The home screen I've had for a while!
Nova Launcher Prime with Borealis icons on the S22 Ultra.
Set this layout for the icons so I can easily reach each app while not looking at my phone based on my hand orientation.
OLauncher. Barebones and minimalist.
Nova launcher and Chroma live wallpaper, try to keep it clean. Background changes each time I go home.
Wallpaper by me (Midjourney), icons are Nova dark, and the launcher is smart launcher 6. There's a weather widget by shadow weather that you can barely see.
Just simple. Stock LineageOS Launcher. There's a second page with more apps I can easily reach with my right thumb. I'm a one-hand user period. That includes typing too
Icons: Net Icon Pack
Widget: KWGT I created myself
