Launcher 7: Converts your Android into Windows Phone
7. Launcher 7 is an android launcher app that gives your android phone,
a complete WP7 look and functions. This amazing launcher replaces all your
android interface with its smooth wp7 interface. The developer of the app had
put all his efforts to mimic WP7 interface, and make you feel like a Windows
User. I would appreciate him for his hard work as all the functions possible
are put into this launcher. I spent few days with it as my daily launcher and
it changed the way I work by phone. Let's see more of it:
The Interface
The interface of the
launcher 7 is completely same as WP7
interface, as it mimics all the metro tiles along with the application dock.
The launcher's flow and functions are very smooth. All the animations like
tiles fly out, fly in, sliding to application dock, etc. are mimicked very
well. Putting live tiles on home screen is also possible just as in WP7. Live
tiles are also no exception in imitating.
To move or edit the tiles long press on that tile and it is all same as
Windows phone 7. The color of the tiles can also be changed from one stock
accents to another or to any of your desired color. The rotation of tiles on
rotating your phone is very cool to see. All the tiles rotate simultaneously
leaving a good impression on the user.
The application dock
also mirrors Windows Phone perfectly. For Android users this dock style is
totally different from the android's dock style, as it doesn’t have that row
icon pattern. It only has a single column in list style, icons arranged in
alphabetic order. The search button is again same and the arrow button looks
same with its perfect animations.
Functionality
Apart from its
Interface, this launcher is a master at customization too. This launcher brings
all possible functionality to you. Even the finest settings can also be altered
in launcher 7. On Home Screen all tiles can be edited completely, whether you want
live or not, stock icons or custom icons, tile colors, and everything
else. One can also enable WP7 style
status bar from Launcher 7 settings.
Indications like unread message count, missed calls count, unread mails
count all are possible. Resizing the tiles would obviously be possible. There are countless functions available like
changing background, changing wallpaper, animation options, status bar options,
widget view access options, etc. There is no shortage of settings in the
Launcher 7.
