Does anyone know how this sketchy UI image is made? Is it Balsamiq Mockups?

Yep, you can use Balsamiq for that. – Marjan Venema Jan 6 '12 at 8:51

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

As stated by them (androidpatterns.com) it's done in Fireworks (see attachement below) using their own custom Toolkit. You can download the toolkit here.

You can use any drawing tool that allows that style. I use InkScape. It's less about the tool and more about the aesthetic. The key is to make it look hand drawn to communicate that it isn't the finished UI.

In fact, I usually prefer hand drawn wireframes. Pencil + paper.

Yep, looks exactly like Balsamiq Mockups to me.

I don't think it's Balsamiq. – agib Jan 6 '12 at 13:00

Evolus pencil includes a set of sketchy stencils. I am not sure whether Pencil was used or not, but you could achieve a similar result. Here is an example from their screenshot gallery:

Pencil has changed their UI (to something far less user-friendly) since then. But it's still a good free tool. – dnbrv Jan 6 '12 at 13:18
To be exact, it is Android Sketching stencil set. – Frantisek Kossuth May 18 '12 at 21:42
