Android is now absolutely the king when it comes to mobile games and apps. Many of the windows and MAC users want to play the great android games like Asphalt 8, Dead trigger, Modern combat on their windows pc, tablet or MAC. Unfortunately there were not even a good emulator since the Droid4X released. I know many of you still are not aware of this emulator and heard about it but believe me its the best emulator till now when it comes to gaming performance! It provides you some damn good features like:
  • Mapping keyboard: Mapping your keyboard for shortcuts. Now you can do what you want. You can map the keyboards as you like.

  • Zoom In-Out capability: You can zoom In and zoom out with the mouse which you will not find in any other emulator.

  • Root access: One of the best thing is you get root access! So you can play like a God, tweak like a God.

  • Google Play support: The best thing why i love this emulator is it supports Google play store. All most all of the emulators don't support many of the latest android apps let alone Google Play store. So this is really a great plus.

  • Performance and speed: When it comes to performance and speed you will not find a single emulator beating this one till now. It is packed with great performance and speed.

  • Android controller: Now you can make your android phone the controller of your game. You can enjoy all most all the game by using your phone as a controller like the video.

So here is how you can make your android smartphone look like an iPhone. We all know that there are tons of handy tools which can help us doing that. If you search in Google Play you can find a lot of them but most of them are fake. But today i will share your two amazing paid apps (don't worry i will give you the apps for free!) which will surely make your android phone look and feel like an iPhone.
We will use Os 9 Launcher and iNoty for this.  So download the first.

Os Launcher 9:

The first app you need is Os 9 launcher. It's really an amazing and cool app to customize your android phone and make it look like an iPhone. It will cost you $7.98 if you download it from Google Play Store. You can either download the app from Google Play Store (paid) or from here (free).

iNoty:

Another app you need is the iNoty. It's required for changing the notification bar. You can know more details about the app from Google Play store (Link). If you download this app from Google Play store it will cost you $1.48. You can also download it from our site for free.

So if you are done downloading the apps then browse the files and install both apps. After finishing the installation process press the home button. A pop up will come up showing two options, one is Launcher and another one is Os 9 launcher (more options may occur if you have installed more than 1 launcher already). Select the Os 9 launcher and tap on always. You phone will start looking like an iPhone now!

If you wish to go back to your default launcher than go to settings> Applications > Downloaded. Then find out the Os 9 launcher. Tap on details and find out the "Clear default" option. Tap on that. After that press home button and a pop up will come up asking which launcher to use. Tap on the default launcher and select always.
