Five 3D home replacements for your Android smartphone
Most smartphones come along with their own user interface, which tends to be boring after some time. Why not replace them with something more fun and interesting using 3D launchers. Most available out there are paid versions and some are pretty expensive. However, they are fun to have and make your smartphone something to boast about. Do note that the 3D launchers are power hungry and can render your phone sluggish. Use them only if you have a powerful hardware and a faster GPU to display them.
This is a unique and customisable launcher which will transform your phone into an interesting device. The launcher has customizable skins and icons with animated widgets, home screens and app drawer. It has more than 10 independent supported layout home screens with an unlimited dock bar.
