Get iOS 7 Home & Lock Screen On Android

Espier Studios have been in the business of developing iOS-mimicking apps for Android for quite some time now, and have become famous for providing the closest and most accurate iOS experience compared to other such attempts made for the platform.  Now that iOS 7 is official, the developers at Espier bring to you Espier Launcher iOS7 - the best iOS 7 Springboard clone out there on the Play Store right now. Couple it up with the equally accurate Espier Screen Locker iOS7, and you have a near-perfect iOS UI right on your Android device.

Personally, I’m no fan of the iOS 7’s newly designed icons, but once you move past that, the actual user interface may actually grow on you. As for Espier Launcher iOS7, you will find that it not only looks like the iOS 7 Springboard, but behaves like one as well, complete with jiggle mode, full screen folders, swipe gestures and much more. If it’s a matter of concern for you, the Calendar icon is dynamic, displaying the current day and date, and the icon and dock backgrounds change color dynamically as well, depending on the currently set wallpaper. It is nice to see that the launcher comes with its own notification badges as well.

The lock screen clone by Espier is awesome as well, and completely replicates iOS 7’s lockscreen. You can also unlock directly into the camera app by grabbing the camera button and swiping upwards.

Setting up the passcode to prevent unauthorized access to your device is a breeze via the settings menu. However, here’s the catch. Even with the passcode set, unlocking into the camera app and pressing the back button on my device gave me access to the entire OS (running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean). This is certainly a matter of concern for those who really require solid lock screen security measures.
