As both an Android and WindowsPhone user i like to have choice,choice is what i get and the best of both worlds but i do not like the static screen on Android mainly because i love the live tiles on WindowsPhone,its pleasing to look at and not boring and your phone looks alive.
Now there is a great new app called Launcher 8 and it does what it says on the tin,it turns your static screen into life and very user friendly and you can create your own design on the homescreen..It seems pretty good so far on testing and we like it.
