Top 5 FREE Apps to Customize Android

Hi there, in today's post we will be covering 5 free apps to customize Android with. Even if you yourself don't own an Android device, chances are you do know someone who does. The apps are here,listed in order:

1. Adw.launcher-A homescreen replacement application.
2. Launcher7-Another homescreen replacement app designed to look like Windows phone 7
3.  maxelus.net live wallpapers-By far the best collection of live wallpapers available for Android.
4. Widgetsoid-The most customizable collection of widgets Known to Android!
5. Dolphin Browser Hd-An internet browser that performs  10 times better than the stock android browser.

 Adw.launcher

After reading some reviews about this app I decided to try it out on my Lg optimus T after downloading the app,I pressed my homescreen key and a message popped up asking me which app to launch as a homescreen,I selected Adw.launcher and upon doing so was absorbed into the wonderful world of Adw. Upon your irst launch I suggest messing around with the settings until your android phone is as you like. I also suggest getting some theme's such as the Sense theme. For free,this app performs amazingly,(even though it sometimes might lag slightly)







Launcher 7
  While I was trawling the android market,this app caught my eye, boasting it was the best windows phone 7 clone out there. I immediately downloaded it and in turn was immediately impressed. Second only to Adw this launcher makes your Device more efficient and easy to use. With a little tweaking you'll even be able to run your widgets on that mosaic of app tiles. The only non-pleasing aspect to this app was the need to keep scrolling down your list of tiles if you add to many tiles to your homescreen.







Maxelus.net wallpapers
 This free live wallpaper creating company is amazing at what they do. Every live wallpaper I have downloaded from this company has made my eyes dance a jig with joy. I never immagined  live wallpapers this beautiful.












Widgetsoid
 When I discovered this app I was looking for widgets that I could customize and make my own. That was exactly what widgetsoid was. Simply put It let me have any switch and indicator I wanted on my phone in any combo I wanted. Once you have widgetsoid you will never download a pre-made switch\indicator again.

 









Dolphin Browser Hd
 I have long been looking for a browser better than the stock one that comes with Android.Dolphin browseris the best one I have found yet. It is amazingly easy to navigate and feels like browsing with a real computer,overallit delivered speed,ease of use, and power.






























 Using these apps separately will make your phone awesome,using them together will make it better than any other android device.
