Dec 19, 2010 Greetings and welcome to my tutorial on how to create a 'Windows Phone 7' style 'theme' on an Android device. This is not an exact copy of the Windows UI, but rather a new graphical interface for my phone greatly inspired by the image icons of the prototype Windows Phone 7 (as seen on XDA) and the 'Living Tiles' of the actual Windows Phone 7.
App Requirements
You need to install the following apps on your Android device to get the Windows Phone look and feel:
Launcher 8 – Windows Phone home and app screen with Live Tiles support (Lock screen included).
A.I. Type Keyboard – Use the Windows Tablet Keyboard theme.

Just go to the Google Play Store and install the apps listed above. All these apps (except ZPlayer) have a free version available. However, paid alternatives are also available for WP7 Contacts, WP Notifications and A.I. Type Keyboard; but the free apps should be just fine for you. And of course, there are also ways of getting paid apps for free.
Setting up Launcher 8
Once the app installations are completed, the first task is to configure Launcher 8. Just press the Home key on our Android device and a popup will appear prompting you to select an app to perform the action. At the bottom of this popup, you will see a check box for “Use as Default”. Check that option and select Launcher 8.
You are immediately taken to your new home screen containing several app-specific Live Tiles. The home screen is fully customizable and one can easily change the number, size, color of tiles on the home screen (and loads of other options). The Launcher 8 app also includes a custom lock screen that resembles that of Windows Phone (The slide-up-to-unlock type). You can also put a separate wallpaper for the lock screen. Similarly, password protection can also be applied to the lock screen. The home screen and locker can be edited and configured by pressing the Menu hard key >> Theme.
You have now successfully set up Launcher 8.
Download Launcher 8.
Setting up Windows Phone Keyboard
A.I. Type keyboard is a good custom keyboard available for the Android platform. It has a number of themes to imitate keyboards of different style. The free version offers text prediction up to 14 days after which the prediction service will be discontinued. Other features (like theming), however remain active.
After installation is complete, go to the App list by swiping right to left from the Launcher 8 home screen. Open A.I. Type Keyboard (should be near the top of the list since the list is alphabetically arranged). The Activation wizard should start automatically the first time; if it doesn’t, select “A.I. Type Activation Wizard”.
The wizard takes you through the steps to configure A.I. Type for first use: Enable A.I. Type Keyboard >> Set it as default >> Test the keyboard >> Change A.I. Type Settings.

Windows phone like SMS/Messaging app for Android
Messaging 7 is an innovative messaging app that could be installed as your default SMS/MMS app and imitates the Messaging app for Windows. It also includes cool animations and is pretty smooth to use.
One of the best things that makes the Android OS the prime choice of many users is its flexibility in adapting to the latest trends in technology. The ability to run custom homescreen launchers is a plus factor because it can transform any Android device into something different that rival OSes can’t catch up with.
You have probably heard of the popular GO Launcher EX and Launcher Pro homescreen launchers that offer blazingly fast performance in navigating in and out of your homescreen. This time around app developer Seize Ent has upped the ante of the popular homescreen launcher by adding a little twist in bringing the elusive Metro UI launcher to Android devices.
One of the most beautiful homescreen launchers to date, the Metro UI homescreen launcher, is in fact found in the upcoming Windows 8 OS. Android users can still experience the thrill and feel of the Windows 8 launcher just by installing the GO Launcher theme on their device. The task is quite simple as you don’t need need hacking or modifying skills to get that Windows 8 feel on your device.
To install the theme all you need to do is to download the GO Launcher EX application to your Android device. After installing the launcher, you are now ready for the next step. Just download the Windows 8 Go Launcher Theme app from the Google Play Store and GO Launcher will automatically require you to install it. Press the Menu button on your home screen, and click Theme. Browse for the “Windows 8 Go Launcher theme,” and hit the Apply button to see the results.

Strictly speaking, it is not really the Metro UI launcher. But, then again, the tiles are all the same size and are arranged in pretty much the same way as in Android or iOS. Nonetheless, its clean and very minimal approach will almost certainly shine to fans of the Windows 8 genre.
Navigating through the homescreen feels like that on either the Gingerbread or Ice Cream Sandwich stock launcher. The only thing notable about the theme is that most of your icons are changed into the equivalent Metro UI icons found in the original Windows 8 OS.
In a nutshell, the Windows 8 Go Launcher Theme from Seize Ent remains pretty much like Android. The only difference has to be the icons for every app you have. You might be expecting the real thing like rectangular and square-shaped app icons that are neatly arranged like Tetris blocks, but you may be disappointed with how it looks. If you really just want a simple alternative look for your Android stock launcher, then the Windows 8 Go Launcher Theme is a must-have. Download it for free on the Google Play Store.
