3. Launcher 7

Next on our list comes Launcher 7, which completely redefines the way your Android device behaves. The concept of home screens is replaced in this launcher by the concept of Windows Phone 7 interface. Instead of home screens, you are provided with a list of tiles of applications and when you scroll to the right side, a detailed view of applications sorted alphabetically appears. The best thing about this launcher is that it provides you the facility to use live tiles, which makes your Android device looks like it is actually running on Windows Phone 7 OS, and not on the Android OS. Launcher 7 looks like the following screenshot.
