15 ways to make your Android phone look like an iPhone - Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps

Skins and folders
1. iPhone Go Launcher EX Theme - free
iPhone Go Launcher EX Theme is a beautiful free theme for the excellent Go Launcher EX skinning and home-screen replacement system. All the default icons, dock and wallpapers are in place to provide an authentic iPhone feel. It doesn't have as many icons as other themes here, which is a shame but everything else looks perfect.
2. iPhone Go Launcher EX Theme - £0.77
For less than a pound another Go Launcher theme packs everything you need to fool your iPhone friends. It includes all the default icons, hundreds of custom icons, the dock, wallpapers and importantly iOS folder functionality. This is a real winner.
3. iPhone icon pack - £0.87
If you're not a fan of Go Launcher or don't want a replacement home-screen system, as these can slowdown less able phones, then why not try a basic icon pack? Along with a new wallpaper and few of our other suggestions the iPhone icon pack will offer a genuine iPhone look.
4. iPhone Style Folder - free
iPhone Style Folder works much like a number of other Android desktop folder systems but takes the classy iPhone style of grouping mini-icons within. Works via the Widget system and helps you get your home-screens back under control.
Lockscreens and keyboards
5. LockBot - free
The rather rough and ready looking LockBot may lack a little style but in use its iPhone themed lock-screen does the job. Once you're bored of fooling your friends it comes with a host of other styles to choose from including a Honeycomb one.
6. WidgetLocker Lockscreen - £1.25
A paid-for lock-screen may seem like a step too far but WidgetLocker Lockscreen is worth it. Unlike LockBot this manages to hide the default Android status bar so the lock-screen looks entirely plausible. Beyond this it provides complete customisation and enhancements.
7. A.I.type Keyboard Beta - free
If you've switched to Android from an iPhone you may very well be missing the on-screen keyboard. Android is flexible enough that is enables you to use alternative designs. A.I.type is an excellent first choice that mimics the iPhone keyboard perfectly.
8. GO Keyboard & iPhone Theme - free
GO Keyboard & iPhone Theme is perhaps not as convincing an iPhone theme as the A.I.type one, but the GO Keyboard system itself is worth having on its own merits with plenty of advanced predictive and language tools built into it.
Email and text messages
9. InoMail - £2.53
If you're missing your old iPhone mail app then try InoMail, looking identical from the folder screen to the email reader itself you'll feel right at home. InoMail does suffer from a couple of issues such as multi-account management and file attachments but it has workarounds.
10. iSMS - £0.99
If you're a big texter you'll love the Android iSMS app that pops up a text message dialogue when a new message arrives, so you can read and respond to it immediately, helping to actually improve on the Android rubbish notifications.
11. Handcent SMS - free
Handcent SMS is a theme-based SMS system which has an iPhone-fooling green and grey bubble conversation-based mode that looks just like the iPhone. It's also more than just a pretty face, as it brings improved security and group handling too.
iPhone Copy-apps
12. Go Contacts EX & iPhone Theme free
Go Contacts EX & iPhone Theme free is pretty special as it's a replacement contacts app that can be themed with an excellent iPhone-style skin, which frankly ends up being far better than the iOS variant. If you've recently switched from an iOS device then certainly the other benefit in this system will have you feeling right at home.
13. Classic Notes Lite - free
The classic yellow background and light-lined writing style of the iPhone notes app is a hard one to miss, but Classic Notes Lite riffs if perfectly even down to the font and adds a whole lot more, such as sharing notes via Twitter and Google Calender support.
14. Calculator - Free/£0.65
It's at the bottom of our list but Calculator is still a useful app to have, as there's a perfectly functional free calculator that can totally fool your iPhone friends. A version with full scientific functionality is available from the same author at minimal cost, which throws in complete skin support and alternative layouts.
15. Vlingo Virtual Assistant - free
It's one new feature in iOS that has heads turning and mouths flapping. Apple fans will all be talking to Siri on their iPhones, and so you can join in the "fun" try Vlingo that provides all the function of Siri without any of the expensive iPhone.

iphone rom for galaxy s2

I moved to galaxy s2 from iphone4 a while back and im missing the iphone ui.
Does anyone know any roms that are like or close to iphone.
Ive already tried miui with iphone theme but dont like it.
Hello
There are various launchers which are available on the Play store which have iphone themes.
I likes the Go Launcher iphone theme.
Thats the closest you can get to an iphone interface.
Cheers
Try Miui

User has specifically mentioned that he has tried MIUI rom and did not like it.
you could try espier launcher frmo the market!
Ive already got espier launcher but thats just a home screen replacement it is good but i want the other stuff such as messaging, contacts, dialer etc etc...
Miui does this but its unstable with lots of force closes on many things including settings.
Ive had go launcher before but not with the iphone theme (all themes seem to have the same layout on go launcher) yhanks anyway does anyone know if any developers are working on an iphone rom?
try out go launcher with the iphone theme!
cheers!
Go Launcher EX and GO Contacts and u have Android iPhone :'(

I know this dosen't answer your question but, you got an android phone now, its all about having the freedom to choose to modify the look and feel of the phone.
why would you want to stick with iphone layout which apple forces on you.
Here's the perfect combo for making your phone into an iPhone, IMO:
1 - ROM - MIUI
2 - Launcher - Espier
3 - Lockscreen - Magic Locker with iPhone Theme
4 - Notifications - iPhone Notifications.
I think this is the closest you can get your phone in to an iPhone. If that doesn't satisfy, then probably nothing will...
I already did that before this post but gotsick of it im now on checkrom awaiting checkrom ics

Looks nice, feels smooth.
I'd consider using it if I could press the home button while on my home screen to hide the status bar. I know I can hide it in settings but it's nice just to press home.
More gestures too. Other than that, looks nice.
Hold your heads high, resist and defy.
I love launchers so I tested immediately!
1. Will ask you to share before you can use
I just shared by Bluetooth but didn't complete the send.
2. Noticed that if you remove some apps after you install Next Launcher the icons remain in the apps draw and cannot be removed although they are unrendered. You have to reinstall the launcher
3. Only one dock drawer
4. Cannot independently choose homescreen/app drawer wallpaper
5. But smooth and very nice tactile effects - pressing, sliding etc
6. If you use Go Launcher you'll recognise it - Id love to have these Next additions available OVER the present Go Launcher rather than as a separate launcher
Interesting and stable enough to use full time
I've added it to my Launcher Switcher
Good stuff, thanks

RAM??? Go Launcher used to hog up around 30 MBs if i aint mistaken. How is this in comparison?
I kinda have a lot of apps that need to be running. That is the reason I am inquiring about RAM.

Show your favorite Launcher with Screenshots

I personally love Nova Launcher on the HAM2. Here's a shot of my home screen with the following customization:
- Nova Launcher - Be sure to enable the "L" developer preview in for App animation under Look and Feel
- Moonshine Icon pack FREE on Google Play
- "L" inspired HD wallpaper
- Hello SMS
- SwiftKey keyboard
No screenshot, but I'm a Nova Launcher fan.

Nova Launcher fan as well!
Custom UCCW skins, the Nova Quick search bar (L style) and the new Play Music widget.
I can't post screenshots yet BUT....
I use Mini Launcher. It's like stock android but with more customization. I also have this really cool wallpaper that responds to the touch; it mimics water. I'll come back and actually post some screenshots when I can.
UPDATE: I installed Nova Launcher seeing as how popular it is. It actually runs much better than the Mini Launcher I was using. It's much more responsive and it gets rid of the stupid gray boxes around the stock apps. I think I know what I'll be using now.....

If you're up to it, get Prime! Adds a few more features and on top of that, Nova is already a solid launcher.

I think we need root to change it. It would require a change to the build prop.

So. Here are all the themes u could put to change the icons and wallpaper and lock screen on huawei devices :

Don't matter if it's wrong device it still works. Download one and put it in HW theme folder in SD card, and it shows on the stock theme app. I used the balanced magazine theme to get rid of all the gray box thingies when using the google now launcher.
I'm using Holo Launcher HD.
