I assume you do it the same way it is done on the Desire, since they have the same operating system.

Have a look here - http://androidforums.com/htc-desire/84650-show-us-your-desire-homescreens.html - everything discussed here for the Desire should work on the Galaxy S.

There is also a Galaxy S dedicated board - http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s/

Instant Heart Rate App - Cool

Stick your finger over the camera and it displays your heart rate.

Note: It works better on phones with a flash  LED... this alone makes the Desire far better than the Galaxy S!

Because it run on flash Sky Poker will run in a browser window on an htc desire.Tiny table mind you and because of Sky's short action time you dont really get time to zoom it.

Got my upgrade today - the HTC Desire.  Now rooting it before I set it all up with the modded ROM.  How to do this is here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Full_Update_Guide_-_HTC_Desire  if anyone's interested.

Just picked up my HTC Desire (replacement after losing the last one...sigh) and stumbled on to this site  www.appbrain.com 

Sign up with them and download appbrain to your phone.  You can surf for apps from your pc.  Pick and save what you're interested in on their site.  Then download the lot to the phone when ready.  Saves battery on the phone by having your search already done on the pc.

I much prefer this to the standard browser. Allows for tabbed browsing and can run flash.  Fennec is in beta, which is firefox for mobiles. However, it's huge and at the moment doesn't allow you to install it to the sd card. So until it does, I'll be sticking to Dolphin.

The difference between Froyo (android 2.2) and previous versions is unbelievable.  The phone is 5 times faster and far more stable.

Love the built-in wireless and usb tethering, point-to-point sat nav a well as a lot of small features all over the place.

I find that this does all I need in a music player - Music Mod

And for those that want to see where they've been - My Tracks

And if you want your bad beat stories to be mathematically accurate (and even more boring!), then this is a must have - Poker Odds (€1.00)

Just got a Mini X10 Pro, beautiful little phone.

Sure can join in with app and homescreen discussions now though, cant fit anything apart from the clock on the screen!

Nice.  Sad, boring and annoying.  Sounds right up my street!

'Tis a good site

You don't have to download the apps to your computer first though.  You can click the 'QR' button on the page of the app and it'll show you the QR code that you can scan using the app 'barcode scanner' and then you'll be able to go directly to the app in the market to download it. 



That's the QR code for the Poker Odds app.
