I’ve received a lot of inquiries about how I’ve gotten my phone to look like it does, or more specifically, how to make Android look like an iPhone. Through the use of ADW Launcher and an app called BetterCut, I’ve been able to replicate the icons and dock. With this tutorial, you too can learn how to get that iPhone dock and those iPhone icons in Android to have the feel of iOS. Be sure to throw some widgets in there, though.

    That doesn’t look the slightest like iOS.

  • Barbara Stafford

    New with android smartphone and had to reset and can’t find app launcher or any android settings!

  • Abbey 217

  • Cbrevelle

  • Pwkim21

    Here is a newb question…what picture viewer is that your using?

    • Pwkim21

      Never mind, CoolIris, right?

  • Alex

    yo how u get that cool looking background

    • No_Nickname90

      Same as guy above me. That background is a regular standard live wallpaper background for every android phone running 2.1 or higher. It first came on the Nexus One, and it’s been a live wallpaper for everyone android phone after that running 2.1 or higher. Unless you hacked and forced your phone to go to 2.1, if your phone has android 2.1, then you have it in your live wallpapers. But if you want to download it or something, it’s called the Nexus.

    cant fine iphone icons!

  • SG

    hey djR3Z I had a question, I figure out how to upload the icons with your tutorial but I was wondering how do I get the icons to actually launch the app for instance if i put an icon of my choice and want to open up the app market.

  • Dilan Savjani

    How did you get that cool backround

    • No_Nickname90

      You don’t mean the background with the floating blocks right? I don’t mean to be…mean, but that’s a standard live wallpaper on like every android phone on 2.1 or higher. It’s the Nexus Standard Live Wallpaper. If your phone is running 2.1 or higher, it’s there. It first came on the Nexus One.

    I made it myself.

    • Rbagsof2005

      you should definitely upload it :D

      • Claire

        I agree with Rbagsof2005. you should seriously upload your skin.

    • Claire

      Yep, i definatley agree. You need to update some skins. That one on the video is awsome.

      • Claire

        Sorry, should say upload some skins…LOL!!

  • Chris

    Can't seem to find the exact skin you are using.

  • jpaustin

    How did you add that quick launch widget for your Wifi, etc. that is above your dock?

  • http://bk-lounge.com djR3Z

    Beautiful Widgets. Its a paid app, but its AMAZING and has a TON of customization options

      yo~ so yeah i got a Beautiful Widget on my x10i but im not sure how to use it. its not like normal widgets xD.

  • Mark

    What app is that for the date, time and weather on top?

  • http://bk-lounge.com djR3Z

    It sure is! If you set your default Home (you checked the box that said “make default” when you went to your ADW home), you can still go back. Go to Settings>>Applications>>Manage Applications>>ADW Launcher and click “clear defaults”. Then hit your home button and you can go back to your regular launcher!

  • Tina Atteberry

    So if you set this up and then want a change back to the Droid original screen setup – is it possible to do it without uninstlling the ADW Launcher App? If so how do you switch?
