ok, what the hell. I love this site, and i think its great that you guys put the aHome barcode on there to help find it, but i think my phone is broken. I have searched everywhere for aHome and i can NOT find it. I even scanned the barcode provided and nothing came up. Am i doing something wrong? or am I just stupid?

Actually the majority of all themes for all Home Alternatives are free. Also Better Android (the makers of Open Home for those who don’t know) do not make themes, they take rooted themes from XDA forums that users have submitted and simply mod them a bit to work with Open Home which is why they can’t charge for the themes they release otherwise I’m sure they would.

Currently I own aHome and DxTop. I love both for different reasons and although I agree there is a decent amount of subpar themes out there for ALL home replacement apps there are a few people who make some top notch ones both free and paid.

All three are constantly updated as well at almost the same rate. I am however keeping an eye on sweeter home, it looks promising.

i have tried all the home app. Reli I came to the conclusion that… Personally… i would chose sweeter home… BUT… it still have so many bugs…. and it talks a long time to set eveything up… so at the moment I am using Open home… until sweeter home get better

I own Dxtop, aHome, Sweeter Home, and Open Home – after trying them all I think Open Home opens the most customization while maintaining wonderful performance speeds.

Also, I believe the vast majority of themes for aHome are subpar quality AND not free. Whereas themes for Open Home are all free and very well made. The Open Home devs are constantly patching and bringing new material on the market.

While I consider the competition wonderful, Open Home gets my vote hands down.

Dxtop is better.

Because it switches to the home screen instantly compared to aHome which takes a while to load. but the winning feature that won me was:

a dock that shows presently running applications, application background services, and recently used applications.

which is really useful to know which applications are on presently on your memory like a task manager.
