  • Android software ruins the hardware --'

  • Looks so cheap

  • Why is everyone fighting over which one is better quality? I found this app pretty cool :3

  • You sound like the guy off

    30 min or less

  • i don't want to repeat the top comment, but this looks so bad. i'd much rather stick to the shitty touchwiz samsung interface. the real winphone7 looks like heaven.

  • cool! How about patent issues with MS? ;)

  • listen everybody needs to cool it i mean come on you guys are arguing over how smooth the screen scrolls on your phone i mean come on its just a phone that you guys make phone calls and texts on :)

  • dude, seriously!!?? r u nt gonna let them to atlest have a satisfaction of building sumthin original!! :D

  • You can change the color of a tile on windows phone 7. There is a APP for that.

  • Why not just buy a fucking windows phone 7 device?

  • I can recommend this application only

  • @prathammajmudar I love this argument the Android fanbois use. "Our app market has 100k apps !!" Huh, that's interesting because I didn't know your phone could hold 100k apps. I have no trouble finding the apps I want, and don't need 5 thousand different versions of the same app. From an iPhone to Android and now I have finally settled in and found the sweet spot between the two with this device. I'm on my second Mango device - swtiched from HD7 to the Titan. Fucking love it.

  • As a Windows Phone owner, I LOL at this app.

    Why the hell would you download this app? If you want your Android to *look like a Windows Phone*, why the hell not just get A Windows Phone?

    Sure, you'll be missing out on a megaton of apps and "superior" specs.

    But you will also be missing out on a terrible, malware-infested, fragmented, laggy hell. Plus, you'll get the live tiles,the Facebook integration, the unity and ease of use, and pretty much the heavenly(!) goodness that is Windows Phone.

  • @SynTHESIZZZZZER So, you're telling me I should shell out money vs get a similar look and feel for free? (all while keeping those apps)

    WP7 is amazing. There is no doubt Mango is the real deal. But hey, I just got an S2, I have had no problems in 4 months, im not selling it and buying a Windows phone just to try out the look and feel.

  • @SynTHESIZZZZZER some of us dont have upgrades for a while :( i recently fell in love with the windows phone ui.. but im stuck with my android til next year sometime..

  • thumbs up, if you are using Launcher7Donate

  • @prathammajmudar I dont have 100,000 apps on my phone but at least i have a lot of options to chose from. Quality apps on the wp7 market? Its so anorexic that allot of apps and games that are available in the ios and android market are not present in the wp7. In terms of sheer number ios dominates, but android is catching up and pretty much got the basics down, but wp7 is trailing behind badly. Also with the popularity of android, the number of apps is bound to increase and will pass ios.

  • @taeyeonsaga Could it be that WP7 is behind because Android and iOS have had a few years head start ? When I switched from my Garminfone to WP7,(I was running iOS before the garmin) there were only a few thousand apps, today less than a year later there are over 40,000 apps in the Marketplace. What are the Android and iOS guys going to say when WindowsPhone finally catches up ?The popularity of Android can be attributed to great marketing team @ google.Your logic is extremely flawed

  • @prathammajmudar If i want smoothness i'd just use a custom rom or switch to stock android. The's just limitless things you could do with an android phone unlike simple os like the ios and wp7. Also the number apps doesnt even reach 100,000 mark on wp7 so what could i install on this phone and play around with? With android i could also use it as an emulator to play retro games, or install apps that are not available in the android market. Android just gives you what suits your liking.

  • @prathammajmudar It does look great, but I could get bored at the ui after a while. However if i have an android i could make it look like anything i like, that way if im bored with the look i could just change it easily by changing the launcher. As for ios and wp7 your stuck with the same look forever. As for stability, smoothness you get those at the cost of custumization and power-usage because wp7 a simple os designed for simple use. Id rather wait for ice cream sandwich or change my rom.

  • not even close to as being as smooth on windows phone 7

  • what point have android phone if not customize

  • DONT desecrate the SGS2 with that launcher!

  • @megapanzers1 you're *

  • @megapanzers1 plus, when you recording the screen of a phone, any phone, it's gonna look bad. Even with your precious iphone.

  • @megapanzers1.. what? You're getting graphics impressions from a video of a launcher on ONE phone that runs android? iphone graphics are inferior to the android devices that are at the same price with a much larger screen.

  • The actual thing is 1000x better looking and 1000x smoother...

  • Oh my god, i never realised how so incredibly SHITTY graphics and design of an android phone look! i sware it looks terrible; sooo bad, thank goodness i have an i phone; may be now inferior for sometechnological facts, but its still the best design, /player/ app store compatible/itunes compatible, cool working phone.

  • Wp7 blows

  • Why would anyone in their right mind want their android to look like windows 7....?

  • Thank you some much another launcher 7!!!! Now my optimus t is pimped out

  • Thanks for telling us about Launcher7, Pocketnow! What next? Gonna tell us about a crazy new app called Facebook??

  • BTW you can buy the full version to get rid of ads...for like a dollar! Sounds like a steal if you want a WP7 lol

  • People are just jealous because they got a WP7...when they wanted an android device: 2 phones in 1!

  • @JoshAngelsberg nice fanboyism you got there. people will buy windows phone 7 because they are interested in the hardware and software itself. they're not gonna buy an android phone because, well, they don't want to. thank you for sounding like a 12 year old with an ultra-basic grasp of technology.

  • @rivengle I guess you don't know how to take a joke lol I personally like android. But I heard WP7 are ultra smooth, like butter. So yeah i see where you are coming from

  • Ok, I have the donated version of this launcher......It is ok. But lets be honest, Android is one of the best Mobile OS's. I am not bad mouthing iOS or WP7, but Android has the best customaztion to it. I agree with @mitchishell, if you want WP7 OS, buy a WP7 device, and the same goes for iOS, buy an iPhone.

    In the end, they all do the same...Make calls, text, email, and use the internet. It is all based on preference.

  • @htcTOUCHguy hell yeah! But now when you get sick of WP7 you can change the way your phone looks again :D

    Unfortunately WP7 users can not...lol

  • @JoshAngelsberg There are apps that make my wp7 look like an android or an iPhone but why would I want to. I bought the WP7 because it's smoother and more appealing than other phone on the market

  • Comment removed

  • Waste!!!!!!

  • the ability to change the way your homescreen looks whenever you want to whatever you want is the beauty of Android. Also you CAN add a Weather Icon that updates on the homescreen on Launcher7. He even passed by the option. On the homescreen when you hit Menu, go to "add special title", then pick "widget tile"... I'm using Beautiful Widgets 1 x 1 weather and it looks great on there.

  • Pouring syrup on shit won't make it pancakes. Not to say android is shit; because my EVO ROCKS!!!!

  • why in hell would i want my phone to look like windows????

    

  • if u wanna wp7 get one u got an android deal with it

  • awsome

    

  • It's like spraying paint on a turd to make it look better...

  • I just got it

  • Well. If someone havn't used the WP7 OS they might get fooled. But it actually dosen't look like WP7 on some points. The animations are really not WP7 stylish adn the icons are waaay to small :)

    Despite that it looks neat, and I love that you can choose ANY color for the tiles (Microsoft Failed there)

  • I gotvthis because verizon only has a small htc wp7. Microsoft, realease a 4.5 in. 4g wp7 for verizon!

  • If you can't have live tiles then what's the point of it. Live tiles are the selling point.

  • @oEDLIo if u have the donate version.. you do have live tiles.

  • I tried this awhile ago and it was really cool.

  • hahahha this is so lame android fans

  • android sucks huge battery life 

  • why, why, oh why, would anyone ever want to do this ?

  • I don't like it. How can I make it go back to my orignal droid look?

  • It's ugly

  • I tried this and is froze my phone constantly I dont recommend it at all

  • Make your Ferrari look like a Hyundai.

  • @RobynHode8 hyndai more reliable and useful.

  • Lol "Theres an app for that"

  • "Make your Mercedes look like Lada"

    For Gods sake, what is the reason?!

  • If you want a Windows Phone 7 device then buy one...

    Simple.

  • @mitchishell If you want a Windows Phone 7 AND Android .. get and HD2, even simpler :D

  • @mitchishell But then you wouldn't be able to make it look like an Android phone

  • @mitchishell Or get an HTC HD2 so you can have both android and WP7

  • @mitchishell android has more apps

  • @mitchishell Why should i if i could do it with an android. That way i can make my phone look like anything i like, such as if i also want ios. Both wp7 and ios cant do that. Plus the number of apps is way more in the android than wp7.

  • @mitchishell or maybe you can just do what hes doing because android is wayy better

  • Comment removed

  • This app existance means that Android's interfaces sucks. -_-

  • @PinkMirrorKirby no it dosn't your a tard

  • @ayahoo16 If you want a Windows Phone 7 UI on your Android phone, that means you think that Android's interface sucks. -_-

    I don't mind having any UI. But you really should think before you reply.

  • @PinkMirrorKirby No it dosnt. Maybe you should think before you reply. I was curious so I gave it a whirl. I love the stock launcher just like toying around. Life is to short I dont have time to spent it on people like you.

  • i did this today. was pretty cool

  • ugh... the ads make it look annoying

  • @sdfg88 buy the pro version... no ads... simple.

  • @sdfg88 There is a donate virsion add free

  • @sdfg88 go on 4shared and search launcher 7 donate apk

  • @sdfg88 There's a donate version of the app, ad free, google it ;)

  • adfree to take the ads out!!

  • you can actually get live weather in the tile. just add a widget tile.

  • not bad

  • Comment removed

  • Got a paid version with no ad. This reviewer should consider doing a design class. With some custom icons from xda it will look faaaaaaar better. This review nearly makes ne think the launcher7 is ugly.

  • actually theres a contact tile that shows your ohotos so there is a live tile and the developer is working on more :D ive been using launcher 7 for a while now

  • Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew.

  • Does not work on my galaxy s2

  • @Coolflame00 it works on my SGS2

  • make this app for Nokia's also. Please

  • It does have live tiles, and you can make widget tiles.

  • This means android is jealous on wp7 UI so they made it to copy its UI :D

  • cool wp7 has an app for android too.

  • Tried this Launcher and it was okay nothing special

  • I use this launcher and qq launcher both great

  • @noodl34u dude! It's Brandon Miniman, he owns about 50 phones!

  • another way is to sell your Android phone and buy a new WP7 phone

  • So Windows 7 look with the crap battery life of an Android. I love my real WP7 with Mango

  • Any color I want! All the colors in the rainbow!! Yeah!!!

  • how do I take it off

  • @zxpw4mm Uninstall it.

  • i have an iPod touch 4G, so im good with getting the Epic 4G Touch instead of the iPhone 5, cause i know the OS is going to be the same,

  • @Bananas138 The OS is going to be the same? iOS and Android are not the same -_-

  • @itsGazaIan im talking about the "iPod touch 4G" how the fact that it has the same PS as the iPhone, i dont really need an iphone cause its basically the same OS as the iPod just no phone and text app, so im going for android !

  • It has an animated contacts tile and you can use Widgets for weather on your home screen

  • most people don't realize that Launcher7 has been out for a long time now...... its a great app but this is nothing new

  • Wow with android u can get like ios,windows 7.. Android BEST!

  • @josef784 actually you can only try to imitate but not have the actual thing unlike the HTC HD2 here which has 2/3 -> android 2.3 with sense 3.5+ windows phone mango +windows mobile 6.5

  • This is a way better wp7 app then the actual wp7. I have a Samsung focus with wp7 and compared to this it's limited, I home Microsoft is taking notes

  • Very cool, will definitely try this.

  • Cool video!

  • @idroid7 thankyou! Finally someone whos not braggin about how ios/iphone is the best,like what you said it is great but having that same look to it come on now from the 1st iphone to the ipod touch to the ipad it all looks the same,and now the iphone 5 with ios 5 is comin out soon its still gonna be the same thing as the older ones lol

  • Okay mines looks way better then that, I think he has a screen protector on or something.

  • why would i make my android look like a wp7?if i bought an adroid i want an android not a wp7

  • i think touchwiz 4.5 cracked is much better

  • does anyone know when the at&t GS2 is coming out?

  • how hard is it to get wp7...lol

  • HTC Sense is MUCH better!

  • @synadude HTC Sense isn't a launcher... HTC Sense's launcher is called Rosie -_-

  • Launcher 7 is old,been out for awhile now,and you can run live tiles with a certain tweak,this was a useless launcher review im pretty sure everybody knows and ran this on there device already

  • you can do so much more than this guy has done his looks ugly mine looks like wp7

  • Have this as my default launcher on my N1 and it's awesome. It's really cool what you can do with custom icons and backgrounds. You can make it really nice.

  • Launcher 7 is fantastic but this wasn't a very good review; not Pocket Now standard.

  • this isnt anything new

  • Launcher Pro Plus is the best but this is nice too. Android customization never gets boring.

  • @MusicVideoJunkie33 i prefer go launcher its free and its like lp plus adw 

  • Nice app :)

  • Why ? WHy? WHY?

    "Because we can" =)

  • That's how customizable android is.

  • You buy an Android phone, 'cause you like Android.

    You buy a WP7 phone, 'cause you like WP7.

    Why to do this?

  • @RobinDutt2011 and if you like both?

  • works pretty good on evo 3d.......

  • How can i make it????

  • Works like a charm on my Optimus Black! Thank you!

  • Awesome! Love it man!

  • ....microsoft could make google pull thia if they wanted they have a patent on there metro UI i doubt they will if they did dat google could probaly block youtube on wp7 which would suck nd anyways microsoft makes money out android they get like 3$ fot evrey android out there

  • I already knew about this but I been using this for weeks and love it. I can't afford to switch phones right now and I have been wanting a WP7. Also, if you want the Zune style music player, look out for an app called "fede's music app".

  • How about flash, text reflow, real multitasking and much more without jailbreaking

  • it does have a live tile but only for contacts

  • WP7 Launcher is nothing interesting.

    BUT there a rumors, that there's going to be a GS2 WP7 version, so if they release it - I'm hoping for a dual boot.

    Too bad, that these are only rumors :|

  • @GaaraOfTheSand5 No, you got it all wrong.. its going to be a completely different phone with completely different hardware, and that rumor only had 15 seconds of light so its most likely fake.

  • ehi, I'm doing these videos too! (in my other channel blogandroidiani) didi you copy me pocketnow? XDXDXD

  • phone is really fast.......

  • wp7 is horrible !

  • Use it once and it is pretty good.. Low memory usage and smooth all the way... Unless you want more customization... This launcher does pretty good job and looks nice too...

  • in b4 microsoft sues the poor guy.

  • if you want wp7 just buy phone has wp7

  • MIUI has a WP7 themed lockscreen. It's actually pretty cool.

  • You have even more options than the ones in the video (like changing the wallpaper, adding your widgets, filtering apps..., makes it even better than original WP7 :)

    And not everyone hates the WP7 design (there are also Android apps that imitate the lockscreen, contacts, music player, keyboard and they are downloaded).

    But if you don't like it, don't use it or customize your Android in another way, that it what makes Android so great, isn't it?

  • it CAN show the weather

    HOW?!

    easy just set a widget in a tile

  • Why on earth would anyone want to?!!! It'd be a like fitting a Skoda bodykit to your Ferrari!

    @iDroid7 - DO IT! Kill that fruity phone!

  • contacts tile is animated!

  • I've bought the donate version and it's even better than this

    free one. It's got no ads and you can have transparent tiles. :)

  • launcher oso got ads........

    LOL

  • I got a app that you can get... Blackmart Alpha. you can get every app for free! download at 4shared.com

  • Errr doesn't look that good but at least it's a free app anyway & a nice way to trick your friends that u bought a WP7 or something coz in my grade I swear I don't know anyone who has a WP7 phone. It's mostly iphones then SG2. 

  • OMG android is so awesome.

    ugh, i just wanna smash my iphone against the wall >:|

  • @iDroid7 What makes it so awesome, I was going to replace my iPhone with an Android phone soon, will it worth it ? What are the advantages.. And don't tell me customization because my jailbroken iPhone can be customized beyond recognition... Other Android advantages and why it is so awesome ?

  • Comment removed

  • @bigsteamfan no, jailbroken apps like winterboard and dreamboard shits all over your ios, making it even more laggy than android. btw, i am ios and android developer, i know what i'm talking about.

    did you know that angry birds are free in android market place and i paid $1.99 in the app store. (don't bring apptrackr into this).

    of course ios is great, and it works as it suppose to (without jailbreak), but i'm just sick of the same rows of icons after 3 years.

  • Comment removed

  • @iDroid7 Well Winterboard didn't lag my device too much. It was acceptable, identical to stock Android lag. And apps' prices are not important because yes, I do use Apptrackr, because I'm from a poor country and can barely afford my monthly expenses, let alone apps. And you do know that iOS apps are generally better and more in no. than Android's apps. And also, I say this, STOCK iOS is absolute CRAP without jailbreaking. But you can do it, and can get RID of the same rows of 3 year old icons..

  • @iDroid7 i wanna shamsh u against the wall ^^

  • @iDroid7 Give it to me, and I'll do it for you!! :)

  • @iDroid7 ios has the ability to emulate WP7 even more realistically. Jailbreak it then look up a tutorial.
