Android is one of the most versatile mobile OS compared to the closed source OS like Windows Phone 7 and it’s Metro UI or the Apple iPhone iOS 4.2. There have been countless skins that have been made available to the hacking public so customizing the look of your Android Phone is as easy as looking for the right resources online. Here is some news of someone that made the Metro UI of Windows Phone 7 the skin of their Android Phone without hacking the proprietary Windows Phone 7 buttons.
Available in the Android Marketplace, the Windows Phone Android launcher is still a bit buggy even as it brings that fresh Metro UI look for Android Phones around the world. On those bugs, here’s a quick list of some failures:
- Does not run on all Android Phones
- Droid 2 and Galaxy S phones are being reported as some of the phones not working with the launcher
- Does not support notifications
- Does not support Self-updating Live Tiles, which Windows Phone 7 is well known for
Here’s how it works:
With those failures in mind, what this program brings to the table is just some fancy window (get it? Window since it’s Windows Phone 7? Right…) dressing. The apps are just displayed in some square tiles to look like Windows Phone 7. Until then, it would be best to stick to your normal Android look or at least get one that actually works.
