Today I’m going to help you disguise your Android device and turn it into an iOS device, a
Windows Phone device, a Blackberry, and some other cool operating
systems. It is very easy and it even looks good, and it can be used to make fun of your friends.
IOS 1: Espier Launcher [Android 2.1+]
If you like the iOS look atleast for folders or icons then Espier Launcher is the best for you. Everything changes except the home screen which stays back as Android. But you can definitely confuse your friends with the iOS look you get with this Launcher. You can create folders exactly as you would on iOS, and Espier even comes with its own App Switcher tray, which looks exactly like iOS. It changes every icon possible and automatically places the iOS Settings icon on your home screen, which actually leads to your phone’s settings.
Fake iPhone 5 and its older sibling Fake iPhone 4S (Android 2.0+) are not as feature-rich as Espier, but when it comes to looks, you won’t get much closer to iOS than this. This launcher automatically changes your wallpaper (you can change it back if you wish), and places every possible icon from iOS 6 on your homescreen. Maps still leads to Google Maps but icons like “Passbook” are nothing but a prompt to download another app. You can’t create folders with Fake iPhone 5, and the App Switcher tray is absent.

It lacks Espier’s features, but makes up for it in looks. It is better if you’re main goal is to confuse your friends.
If you don't like the iOS look you can turn it into Windows phone by using Launcher 7. Launcher 7 is a slick and versatile launcher that will make your phone look exactly like a Windows Phone. At least at first glance. When you first launch the app, you’ll get a chance to choose your main tiles. You can always add or remove tiles later on, and even change their size and color. The navigation is entirely Windows Phone 7 as well but except for the ads which u can get rid in Launcher 7 Donate.
It is a lovely option for Windows Phone lovers who just happen to own an Android.
This Blackberry theme will be the closest one can ever get, but I must say, it’s not half bad. As you’ve probably gathered from the name, this is not a standalone launcher, but a Go Launcher EX theme. In order to use it, you’ll have to first install Go Launcher, then download the Blackberry theme, and last, choose the theme from Go Launcher’s settings.
The Blackberry theme does an all-around icon change, turning them into Blackberry style, and replaces the wallpaper with something more Blackberry-appropriate one. The theme has changed every other icon, but left the Play Store one intact, which created an amusing effect. You can easily change this icon to one of the native ones.
If you like the style, you don’t have to like Blackberry. :p
If, you actually like your Android device as it is, but wish you could upgrade to Jellybean or even Ice Cream Sandwich, you’re going to enjoy Holo Launcher. Holo Launcher is pretty much a replica of the ICS/Jellybean homescreen. Complete with all the icons and some of the widgets. But the launcher uses whatever you have set at that moment, and the default ICS wallpaper won’t be available anywhere. Holo Launcher is highly customizable, and can give your older device a brand new look, without sacrificing the Android appearance.
If you go with the Holo Launcher + Holo Locker combo, you’ll never look back.
By using turn your android device into I phone or windows or blackberry.
