Here at OMG!Droid, we take pride in knowing how much our readers love to customize their Android devices. We’ve covered a handful of apps over the last year that help you make your phone 100% custom-tailored to your liking. Today, we bring to the table one more.

If you’re rocking a device with Ice Cream Sandwich or greater, you may want to take a look this new app, from Mobint Software, called Holo Launcher HD. This launcher packs all of the functionality one could expect from an ICS+ launcher, as well as a buttery-smooth Jelly Bean look and feel to it, thanks to being based on Android 4.1.1.

    I have to say, I loved Holo launcher on my HTC Thunderbolt. Gave it so much more functionality than what sense and GB could give.

    For my Galaxy Nexus, I don’t think there would be much changed. JB is fantastic as is.
