I loved my windows phone, everything was neatly organized and insane good muscle memory, I don’t know if it is my nostalgia or if it genuinely is a good as I remember
I wish there actually was an Android launcher with tile based live apps though. I thought it was neat and want to try it, but even Microsoft didn’t do it again for their Arrow Launcher.
Microsoft rarely makes good decisions. Though wp had a great ui ahead of it’s time, it was super restricted, and companies had to pay for using windows on their phones. Android although was way more unpolished, it was free and open source. And Microsoft has continued to make terrible decisions ever since
It was pretty awesome man. Especially the native apps and the consistency in UI between apps. Android only NOW has introduced something similar with material you. It was ahead of it’s time
Windows Phone had a gorgeous UI, especially on OLED devices. Your colours are a little off and the gaps could be a bit bigger, but it still looks quite nice. I don’t know how much of this is tweakable though. Did you make this yourself? Or which launcher are you using?
I miss that too and think that it would have been great to have three ecosystems. Only having two things to choose from is not good. Does this launcher behave like wp? With flipping tiles that show you a brief overview?
I can’t believe nobody in this thread mentioned launcher10 yet. I have to admit I haven’t tried square yet, but launcher10 scratches my WP user experience itch for sure.

I fucking loved Windows Mobile OS. I want my tiles back.

It was ahead in many ways. Iirc, windows was the first phone OS to include in built swipe typing.

Looks awesome!
I see this…

Dear lord that is so busy
Yet incredibly clean compared to your average home screen.

404 not found.
That’s because the link expired
Kind of a worthless link to begin with, then.
Oh God. This is horrific.
this is disgusting, good job
Maybe have a look at Win11 Launcher. I reckon it’ll get the aesthetic you’re looking for.
Definitely not something I’d want but it’s pretty cool nonetheless.
I’m pretty happy with my setup, i personally don’t like win11 as much. I’m not looking for a pc UI on my phone. Just wp look
I can appreciate that you made this. But I also gotta do “why”

Well, this is what I like. My lumia was pretty solid and I miss the ui
My Samsung Omnia 7 was friggin awesome. Metro was kicking iOS and Androids butt.
Those lumias were ahead of their times.
LUMIA oh man I miss that phone. Served me terrific right up until I face planted it in a parking lot.
I miss that too and think that it would have been great to have three ecosystems. Only having two things to choose from is not good. Does this launcher behave like wp? With flipping tiles that show you a brief overview?
They have some custom tiles that do like calender, photo slider, clock. Folders also have animations
Lord, no. Please look into minimum colour contrast ratios.
Ok, that yellow may have been over the top. But except that everything seems fine 😅
Absolutely fantastic! How I do that?
Square home launcher plus arcticons icon pack
You can emulate the old Windows phone look with Square Launcher.

I don’t like how it handles resizing. I really can’t deal with it for every app. Plus square launcher has more features
This is square launcher. I bought it😂
