Jelly Bean based Holo Launcher HD available free in the Play Store

We have covered the Holo application suite quite often here on AndroidStory. When Holo Launcher was floating around as a beta in XDA, all the way to its launch and updates on the Play Store. The original Holo Launcher offered up a small, smooth and customizable home replacement that looked and felt like Ice Cream Sandwich to devices sporting Android 2.2 and up. It has been one of our favorite launchers for quite some time.

Now the developers, Mobint Software, have released another launcher to the Play Store for many of you to take a look at. Introducing Holo Launcher HD. Bases on the Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean launcher and packed full of goodies.

Basic Features:
– Full Jelly Bean Launcher Features
– Custom Desktop Pages/Grid: Up to 9 desktop pages and 10 x 10 grid
– Custom Drawer Portrait/landscape Grid
– Scrollable Dock: Up to 7 icons per page and up to 3 pages
– Infinite Scrolling
– Gestures: Swipe up/down on desktop to launch apps quickly
– Customizable shortcut/folder icons

  Those are just the basic features you can expect to use in the standard free version. Of course there is also additional Plus Features you can unlock with the purchase of Holo Launcher Plus, which is just a key to unlock the extra features. The developers did an awsome job of tying the key to both Holo Launcher and the new Holo Launcher HD. So if you already have purchased the key then it will also unlock the following Plus features on Holo Launcher HD.
