Upon further reading, I noticed the true purpose of this seemingly allows apps to extend outside their sandbox and violate the intent model in terms of how they interact. Not sure why this is a GOOD idea though... ----- original: As someone with a rooted galaxy nexus on cm10.1, why is this of interest to me? I understood that cydia was an app store alternative that only could exist on rooted/jailbroken iOS. Android has no such restrictions about app stores; what value does this actually add? This is based on reading every word of the linked to page... |

> WinterBoard is a "theme engine" that allows you to use the numerous themes you may find in the Google Play Store on your device without having to install custom ROMs or use custom launchers. It allows you to use almost any launcher icon theme with your stock launcher and supports "Theme Chooser" themes without CyanogenMod.
Winterboard is for customizing graphics with more flexibility; it's not messing with how apps work.
You could also imagine people developing a collection of Substrate extensions that each implement a specific launcher customization, so that you can build up your desired set of customizations one-by-one instead of trying to choose between several launchers that each have parts of what you want.
