You didn't declare a theme for your application, so the default device theme is used. If you want to use holo theme (which apparently you do) you should specifically declare it. Just add this attribute under application (or a specific activity):

 <application
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo"
    ...>

The entire Holo theme family (Theme.Holo, Theme.Holo.Light, Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar) is available for any device with sdk level >= 14. Just choose the one you want.
