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.

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.
Yes...This is the launcher for all u guys out there who are bored of the stock Android Launcher like me . Launcher 8 for Android gives a complete makeover to your phone.
I really like the new look of my Optimus One hence thought of sharing in this forum. Try it out yourself & share your comments :good:

How to change lockscreen wallpaper

Press the menu button & select theme option...Swap to the right to find change lockscreen wallpaper option :thumbup:
ROM - Paranoid Android By ByteCode.
Sent via XDA App.
I installed and I liked it - for a day. On day 2 it started an update that was not a normal Play Store update. There were download notifications in chinese. Seems really suspucious epsecially considering where it was developed. Also the support web site is all chinese rendering it useless to a lot of people. Beware.
Guess u tried updating from the in-app update option.
I update only via google play hence did not come across this issue.

Windoss 8 style is more boring, but not bad WP8 launcher... nice:good:
Used it for about hour and restored to Trebuchet... This is good for bigger phones (screen size OFC).
Have any of you experienced a lot of lag with this launcher? I'm used to launchers like nova and trebuchet that are nice and smooth while this one seems to be choppy. I like it a lot though

I like the WP8 stylt more than the Windows 8

I really appreciate the simplicity of Sony's launcher but what would you guys say is the best launcher for the xperia z Ultra?
I've tried a few like nova, adw and 3d shell but nothing comes close to Buzz Launcher for me...
Has some amazing themes and is all free! Give it a try as I know u will love it.
Sent from my C6833 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I still use the stock launcher, but Nova is still my favorite. It's light, fast and you can change individual icons and apply themes (Nova Prime), so Nova covers everything i want. The updated Kit Kat Nova launcher is also under development, so that'll be cool.
Ok cool ill give them a try, I had a go at installing the android 4.4 kitkat launcher which looked good but it not built for a phone with this size screen so everything looked to big.
How intensive are 3rd party launchers on phones as im guessing the stock launcher will still be running in the background?
Nova and Apex are one of the lightest out there. The ones with fancy 3D effects and unnecessary bloat are naturally using more resources. I don't know what type of user you are, if you like to spend hours theming or you just like to have a stock looking environment, but my favorite is Nova (Prime)
Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk
I used to be a real fan of touchwiz but im noticing now all the little stutters and lags which is so annoying to me, thats why I like the sony ui just because its smooth and lag free. but ever since having a galaxy nexus ive been a fan of stock android

Stock launcher is still the best imho nothing beats Sony's UI i say.. But if I'm on other device, id choose nova. It's stable and fast and able to customize the icon theme too.

I gave buzz launcher a go last night and my god its good. I must say I'm loving the customization options on there. Thanks
Which is better?
Go. Hands down the smoothest. Although battery sucker.
Sent from my HTC Desire X using Tapatalk
I would say Nova,but the new Beta version.
It's crazy fast (Set the Scroll Speed and Animation speed to "faster then light"),transparent statusbar support (the only launcher that actually made my statusbar transparent ) and has a Kit Kat look. Tons of customization. What more do you need ?
I have 2 launchers for you. First of all is Apex Launcher it's smooth and faster and the second is KitKat Launcher it's great to live KitKat experience.

For me the best is Action Laucher

I can't believe you're discussing this...it's all matter of taste, and that's very individual. After all, all of them are free on GPlay, so try it, only you know what suits you best, and it cost nothing.
waking the dead is my thing!
any way....I have been using go launcher. found on accident. It is really neat and I am just starting to understand it fully. Now Im seeing here that apex may take up less memory?

I had Apex.. Once. Then I downloaded Nova Launcher beta and I´m still using it No regrets about it, pretty smooth and easy launcher.
Just my opinion
You should try adw launcher. It is the only one I found that has a categorized app drawer. Makes things soo much more organized. And you can just put folder-like category shortcuts on your homescreen for easy access.
Beautyful transition-effects, great dock customisations... Gove it a try, if you are looking for a new favorite launcher.

Is there a launcher that allows alphabetical listing in the app drawer like in the samsung touchwiz?
I just installed holo laucher as the first since I bought my GN3 last year. it looks smooth and very customizable as I can finally change the grid's density from 4x4 to more icons in the home screen but I miss that one column list like app drawer from touchwiz
ADW .
ADW launcher EX pro is the best launcher i found for me
it is really awesome , just try it
fast , easy , have a lot of customizations

I installed Nova and I must say I'm pretty impressed so far. I can configure the apps drawer in an alphabetical list style and much more.
One thing I find a little disappointing but that seems to be the same problem for all launchers is that the non resizable widgets are screwed up if I add them to the home screen when the grid size is changed to 5x5 or more
