Cover promises contextual lock screens and smarter task switching for Android.

That looks quite promising. By the way, the Moto X has some of those capabilities already.

That seems cool. I wonder if it works if you have any kind of lock on device though, seems like you need to be able to use your device without entering a password or other security feature.

This is an interesting idea. I know some people who feel that a context sensitive phone that changes apps as you need them throughout the day is the way to go. In a way, it is like Google Now that tries to give you information that it thinks you need before you ask for it.

For me at least, I'm not so sure I want this. I have my home screens fairly well organised and I know where everything is. Pretty much all of the common things I need is on my centre screen or a swipe or two away. I don't know if I want my apps to move around the home/lock screen on its own throughout the day. It would mean that I have to look for my apps and widgets in different places if they don't all fit on one screen.

I use a security lock on my home screen anyway, so you don't see anything except for the time and notification indicator. I'll have to unlock my screen to be able to do anything useful.

Just another launcher trying to distinguish itself from the cloud but didn't aviate get there before it? Either way, not interested in it personally.

You want to move to Android for a home screen launcher? Ok...

This is along the same lines as Aviate, but I personally like to control when and where my apps and info are. It's a cool option, just not for me.

Other than a small cramped display, and my personal mistake of choosing to upgrade to iOS 7, I happen to like my iPhone 5.

Yet I'd be lying if I failed to admit my Galaxy Note 3 is faster, highly efficient, and so much more fun. It's this and many more reasons why I expect the Android platform to be my primary choice in smartphones for quite some time.

as a android user , yes these things are amazing but big battery hogs !
need more optimizations .......

Looks interesting.

I like to try these sorts of things out, but I uninstall them and go back to default after only a few minutes. Aviate and Themer were cute but at the end of the day none of these things made my phone any easier or more enjoyable to use.
