Turn Your android Device Into An Iphone-Best android Launcher

Android Jelly Bean has a great UI. The pull down notification bar, informative app icons, transparent background that highlights the wallpaper; altogether makes a user fall in love instantly. But in a short while you may get too accustomed to original Android launcher to notice its nuances and want to change it for experiencing something new. Following the recent accolades  attracted by iOS 7, it could be tempting for Android users to experience the ‘Apple’ feel on their Android device. Read on to know 6 best launchers to turn your Android to iPhone, as compiled by Mashable.



#6 iOS 7 Live Wallpaper


The Android devices already comes with live wallpapers, if you want to try iOS 7 styled wallpapers that resemble like floating particle, try it with iOS 7 Live Wallpaper. It also allows you to download four backgrounds similar to those offered in iOS 







#5 iOS 7 Lockscreen Parallax HD


If you are ok with the parallax effect which recently reported to make users dizzy, you can try iOS7  Lockscreen Parallax HD. It provides a nearly flawless imitation of iOS 7's gorgeous parallax lock screen, complete with Control Center toolbar. As this will only change your phone's lock screen, you have to combine it with another launcher to get the full iOS 7 feel.

#4 Fake iPhone 5


If you are a fan of iOS 7, the fake iPhone 5 launcher can mimic both the iPhone 5 and the 4S. According to the developer, this app works best with the Samsung Galaxy series. However not all icons that float on the screen are functional, the passbook icon, for example, can redirect you to an ad.



#3 jbOS7


If you search jbOS7 on Play Store, it will get you Nova Launcher page, which indeed has to be downloaded before you try jbOS7, which is available as a Dropbox download. The launcher was first released in a post on MyColorScreen.com, it will make your homescreen and lock screen look like the iOS 7, but includes two uniquely designed pages for the Weather and Calendar apps. The app is especially optimized for the Samsung Galaxy S3.

#2 Hi Launcher iOS 7 Theme


Hi Dev Studio has released a new iOS 7 theme after its well-received iPhone 5 launcher. One of the users, Froylan Munox reviewed “The "Hi" apps are amazing!! I fooled my friends with it.  And the ios7 theme works great!! Keep up the good work guys!! ^-^ Great app!!.” Some users also noted some glitches with launcher. Read the reviews before you go for it.

#1 Espier Launcher


The launcher is one of the most recommended apps if you are intending to give your Android the feel of iPhone. The icons, their sizes, layout and text make you feel that you are holding an iPhone, and all these can be customized to suite your taste. You can also create folders and swipe to access toolbars. The Widgets and shortcuts you selected on your Android will still be functional.

Top 10 Tech Giants Of The World

Consumers get carried away with brands, so much that they squeal if they had to use some other products. What do these companies do to maintain that sort of loyalty from the consumers that they eventually make them one of the most valuable brands in the world? It is sum of many things like knowing the current market, keeping ahead with competitors, innovations and other factors.


Brand management firm, Interbrand recently released its list of the 100 most valuable brands in the world. Currently, the consumer world seems to be more bent on technology than beverages.  After 13 consecutive years at the top of the Interbrand 100, Coca-Cola has been replaced by Apple. Read on to know 10 most valuable companies based on the Interbrand listing.


#10 Amazon


Brand value: $23.6 Billion
Last year's rank: 20
Change in value: Up 27 percent


To keep a better customer experience, Amazon aims to deliver the widest selection of products at the most reasonable prices with minimal hassle. The brand also expanded into new businesses such as TV set-top boxes, online advertising, original programming via Amazon Studios for its Emmy award-winning Prime Instant Video service, and 3-D smartphones. The strategic acquisition of Goodreads, a social book recommendation site, builds on Amazon’s well-established online book retailing expertise, fostering a community of bibliophiles. The brand has thus successfully built an intimate relationship with its customers without being perceived as intrusive.

#9 Oracle


Brand value: $24.1 Billion
Last year's rank: 18
Change in value: Up 9 percent


Oracle is making its mark as one of the leading provider of business hardware and software systems. In February 2013, Oracle’s purchase of Acme Packet for USD $2.1 billion not only enhanced its communications product offering, but also signified its expansion into the networking market. In June 2013, Oracle announced that it had formed a partnership with Dell, and later that same month, a partnership with Microsoft was announced that would enable Java developers to use Oracle tools. More recently, Oracle empowered Java and aspiring developers worldwide, introducing a series of programs to “Make the Future Java.” The programs allow developers to share their enthusiasm for Java, expand their technical skills, feel a sense of community, and be active participants in developing the next generation of Java innovation.

#8 HP


Brand value: $25.8 Billion
Last year's rank: 15
Change in value: Down 1 percent


HP, one of the world’s largest technology organizations, is refocusing on cloud, mobility, Big Data, and a new style of IT. In June 2013, HP announced a partnership with Google to offer small- and medium-sized businesses “IT in a Box”—a one-stop-shop technology solution—as well as launching HAVEn, a Big Data analytics platform. In recent years, the brand has undergone significant changes in both visual identity and tagline—from “Invent” to “Let’s Do Amazing,” to the current “Make It Matter.”


#7 Cisco


Brand value: $29.1 Billion
Last year's rank: 14
Change in value: Up 7 percent


Cisco continues to focus on growing its presence in the B2B space, building on shifts it experienced last year. A brand that only a few years ago was known for using its “Human Network” campaign to straddle both the corporate and consumer worlds, has managed to reposition into what seems to be a more comfortable role as the network enabler of businesses large and small. To help businesses monetize “the data in motion” in their networks, Cisco launched several mobile solutions earlier this year, including Cisco Quantum, enabling greater network programability.

#6 Intel


Brand value: $37.2 Billion
Last year's rank: 8
Change in value: Down 5 percent


While Intel is a clear leader in both the PC and server processor markets, the world’s leading semiconductor company with $53.3 billion in sales last year, has made significant headway in categories beyond its core businesses. Through strategic relationships with powerhouse brands like Microsoft, which made headlines for adapting Windows to run on less powerful and less expensive processors, Intel has integrated in devices such as Microsoft’s Surface Pro tablet. An increasing number of Intel-powered Smartphones is transforming lives in new markets such as Africa, where Yolo, a low-cost Android smartphone and Kenya’s Safaricom, marks a first for the brand and the continent.


#5 Samsung


Brand value: $39.6 Billion
Last year's rank: 9
Change in value: Up 20 percent


Samsung surpassed Apple in smartphone sales, grabbing 30.3 percent market share of smartphone shipments and making USD $5.2 billion on handsets in the second quarter. It is the leader when it comes to Smartphone shipments. Thanks to innovative products such as the Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note II and a massive marketing spree of more than USD $4 billion in 2012, four times Apple’s budget, the brand continues to strengthen its position globally. Samsung continues to focus on connectivity across its portfolio including home appliances, digital cameras, and TVs in a bid to differentiate its brand in an age when consumers are demanding sharing and accessibility.


#4 Microsoft


Brand value: $59.5 Billion
Last year's rank: 5
Change in value: Up 3 percent


Microsoft has made significant strides in streamlining and integrating its broad portfolio, announcing in July 2013 its “One Microsoft” corporate restructuring that embraces a holistic brand approach across product lines. Anticipation is high, yet questions remain as the brand shifts from software to hardware business. It’s also making a bigger bet on mobile with its USD $7.2 billion acquisition of Nokia’s mobile business.


#3 IBM


Brand value: $78.8 Billion
Last year's rank: 3
Change in value: Up 4 percent


The brand continues to set records in innovation, generating 6,478 patents in 2012, the most US patents for the 20th year in a row. Aggressively growing its presence in emerging markets, IBM opened 144 offices in those regions in 2012. Looking to get ahead of the IT industry’s paradigm shift, it’s also packaging its computing capabilities and offerings to build a Smarter Computing platform that will be designed for Big Data, all while being open and collaborative to further foster innovation. This new approach is already paying dividends in the form of IBM’s Watson supercomputer.

#2 Google


Brand value: $USD93.3 Billion
Last year's rank: 4
Change in value: Up 34 percent


From its self-driving cars to taking advantage of Apple’s Maps fumble to releasing Google Glass, the company once described as a search engine has found its voice as a true leader of the technology age. Tech-savvy or not, anyone who has continuous, or even intermittent, access to the internet is aware of the brand, and likely a user of at least one of its numerous offerings. Whether through phone, tablet, computer, or car, the brand is ever-present. As powerful as it is ubiquitous, Google controls about one-third of all online advertising spending, according to eMarketer research.


#1 Apple


Brand value: $98.3 Billion
Last year's rank: 2
Change in value: Up 28 percent


Apple’s latest offerings, iPhone 5S is a consumer delight. There are 72 million Macs in use, and in the last five years, Mac sales have grown an average of 15 percent annually, compared to an average of three percent a year for the PC market as a whole. The iTunes App Store, which turned five this year, has crossed the 50 billion app download mark and the brand’s trendsetting retail stores. With “Think Different” campaign, Apple’s designers and engineers revamped their operating system, iOS7 which powers the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
