Well, well. After being pulled from the Google Play Store over an Apple complaint about the icons in one of Themer’s hundreds of available themes, the custom launcher replacement is back. Themer was pulled from the Play Store on February 2nd.
Apple filed a copyright complaint over the ‘Seven’ theme, pictured above. The theme is clearly based on iOS7 and we all know that Apple comes down hard on anything that it considers to be copyright or patent infringement. Google pulled the app and the news got a ton of press over the past week. The company behind Themer, MyColorScreen, has removed the offending theme and now the app is available in the Play Store again. Why didn’t Apple just reach out to MyColorScreen directly and ask them to remove the Seven theme? That’s a great question. Either way, the problem has been taken care of and you can get Themer again.
