Here’s my two. Like others I try to change it up but keep coming back to my old fave. I added the Apple logo for now, but may just go back to the plain sans the logo.
Post script : kept getting the error of file too large for sever to process. Considering that one screen shot is 4.8mb and the other 4.2mb, I assumed it wouldn’t be an issue. So I will try send them to myself on messenger then save from there - they will get dumbed down a tad lol.

I tried some dark wallpapers and I don't understand how you guys can live with it. They look good standalone, but when you open an app the contrast is huge! Going from a black home screen to a white app really hurts my eyes. It's like being in the dark and turning the brightness all up to 100%.

Another thing is that an all black wallpaper hides how big and nice the screen is. And another quality of OLED is to show nice vibrant colours. A dark or black wallpaper basically hides the beauty of the screen.

Black screens save battery on AMOLED, which is a big reason to use them.

This is kind of neat cause when you tap to wake it seems like the lightsaber is being lit up cause the screen opens from bottom to top.
 
Here is mine, I have so many apps, I am always trying to shrink them down.

I don't like a cluttered phone... Most frequently used apps (shown) are on the first page in four grouped app folder categories, and are accessible quickly, using one hand. Second page of each group are less frequently used apps, and so on. Then of course, swipe down for a quick search for the rest.

Yes, the notification badges are there for a reason, and will be tended to by the end of the day. ;)

Procrastination is the thief of time. :)

Come on, seriously, you don't expect to get any more then maybe at most 5 minutes of extra battery time per charge by using a black wallpaper (and I'm being generous here). When you use your phone you are in apps 99% of the time, you are just at the home screen to choose the app you want to open, that's it. So I don't hope people use it as a battery saving measure, because that's ridiculous :)
