My jailbroken 4S is way more customizable than the GNex. Maybe I'm just not familiar with android enough to customize it like I have with my 4S.
Not sure how you came to that conclusion since you rooted and flashed Rom's and kernals (also depends on which ones as some are mehhh), as I've jailbroken iPhones for years including our 4S. Not even close to the customizing ability of Android OS. But I think you answered your own question, you weren't familiar with it. I was the same way for a few days when I got the GSII as I was one of the ones before ragging on Android before, but now I love the phone and haven't looked back. Both are great phones/os's just depends on which you prefer and at least you gave it a shot to try, can't go wrong either way. Just like some will prefer windows and some prefer os/x.
Guess I have the best of both worlds, iOS/Android and OSX/Win7 on the Macs haha
Of course you missed it! It's the best phone out there. Like you, I got the urge to see what else was out there. Believe me, after a year of putting up with wondering whether or not I was going to get the next version of Google's bull$#!+ Android OS, all the fragmentation it caused across different platforms and the ridiculous, hiccuppy, laggy performance (it was a Verizon Motorola Droid 2, by the way) I went screaming back to iPhone and got the 4S. I'm not looking back.
I love when people talk about how Android sucks and this and that, when it's almost always an phone from years ago they used, and a phone that wasn't even good for it's time when it came out (Droid 2 lol). Said it before, my i777 GSII is smooth and fast, no lag, no hiccups, actually no glitches unlike what I've had across iOS on multiple devices especially iOS5.
Trust me, anyone who "prefers" Android is just an Apple hater who's willing to put up with ANYTHING as long as Apple's not involved with it.
Apple hater? I wouldn't still have iPhones and Apple computers and other Apple products if I was a hater
. A true "hater" would make a statement just like you did lol... so here's a lil more koolaid on me for you to drink
What does iOS not do unjailbroken that is so important to you folks?
Serious? here's an example:
SBSettings - worth it just to jb for this alone, so much more efficient and better then Apples setup and it integrates perfectly with the notification center... why Apple doesn't do this is beyond me
5/6 icon docks and scrolling dock options
Gridlock to place app's anywhere on pages
Barrel (gives the borring OS new life when switching pages, mine's set to curl and roll away)
FolderEnhancer to replace the dumb Apple folder system, no more restricted # of apps per folder, and can have folders within a folder (great having a game folder that's organized like actions, puzzles, shooting etc.... or same for business folders)
Winterboard/Dreamboard
Quickscroll2 is awesome when browsing
iFile - enough said
Activator - enough said
Zephyr (if you want to use gestures)
Callbar who doesn't love not being interrupted while in the middle of something lol
