Get your Android phone to run Windows Phone 7 — almost

This right here is the reason why Android fans will tell you that Android is awesome. You can do so much with it and you don’t even have pretend to be a geek to get it done.

Launcher 7 is a simple to use and free launcher app that gives you the look at feel of Windows Phone 7 right on your Android device. It’s also probably one of the cooler launcher apps you can get.

It’s not quite the real deal but its pretty close. You get the two pillar tile-and-settings navigation feel just like on Windows Phone 7, except that the tiles are not live, though they do offer some status indication (like number missed calls and text messages received).

There’s a great deal of customisation options with Launcher 7 as well. The app lets you change individual tile colours with presets choices or you can fully customise the colours if you want. You can create new tiles to call up apps or display widgets and you can customize the size of certain tiles too.

Best of all, at a glance, you can really trick people into thinking that you’ve somehow ported Windows Phone 7 into your Android device. Installation is easy and the app is free (ad supported), nothing to lose really. Try it out, Android Market link here.

Video walkthrough after the jump.
