Make your Android phone look like an iPhone 5


The folks over at XDA Developers, who do some absolutely amazing things when it comes to creating apps and ROM’s and rooting Android devices, announced the new iPhone 5 launcher.

As the name implies, this app will skin your Android device and leave the screen appearing as if it were actually running the new iOS 6 mobile operating system.
User panmoto shared news of the free app on the XDA Forums and it’s available right from the Google Play Store, where it goes by the name “Fake iPhone 5 Launcher“.
Ironically, the launcher may actually be more capable than the real iPhone 5.

Features of Fake iPhone 5 Launcher

The developer lists the following features on the app download page:
  • Most realistic iPhone skin on the market.
  • Fully functional home screen replacement.
  • Beautiful icon effects – all installed apps are styled.
  • Comes with 16 default apps on the first page.
  • Custom wallpapers supported!
  • Swipe-to-Search available – just swipe left at the main screen.
I’m not actually sure how many people would truly want this on their Android device, especially those running the Jelly Bean 4.1 version of the operating system.
However, it already has more than 100,000 installs and a four star rating, so perhaps I am in the minority.  It requires you to be running Android 2.1 or higher, but that shoudn’t leave any device out at this point.
