Get the Jelly Bean look and feel with Holo Launcher and Lock Screen

Holo

I know right, we all want Jelly Bean. And unfortunately unless we were at Google I/O, we probably don’t have it just yet.

Well, XDA Developer “mobint” has made it almost possible, with the release of the Jelly Bean-esque Holo Locker and Holo Launcher.

The lock-screen replacement app requires no root, is available on the Play Store and is a nice, easy way to bring a touch of JB to your GB or ICS Droid until the real thing appears.

Holo Launcher, on the other hand, was originally designed as a true ICS Launcher for Gingerbread devices, and has now been in for some Jelly Bean redesign work.

It brings the following features and is also free:

  1. Full JB Style: ICS Icons, Folders, Outlines, Drawer Tabs, etc.
  2. Custom Desktop Pages/Grid: Up to 9 desktop pages and 10 x 10 grid.
  3. Custom Drawer Portrait/landscape Grid
  4. Scrollable Dock: Up to 7 icons per page and up to 3 pages.
  5. Infinite Scrolling
  6. Gestures: Swipe up/down on desktop to launch apps quickly.
  7. Customizable shortcut/folder icons, support ADW icon pack.
  8. Desktop Previews: Pinch to access desktop previews.
  9. Backup and Restore: Backup and restore your settings and shortcuts.
  10. Other Customization Options: Keep in memory, home key action, hide apps in drawer, hide labels, etc.

To complete the experience I came across a HD version of the Jelly Bean Wallpaper: download it in full size here.

Edit: Here’s another Jelly Bean background.

    This app is great aesthetically, but it is also a battery hog, which is unfortunate. Hopefully there will be an update to fix this and I will re-download it!
