For me, the only thing iOS has over Android is how good it restores. From settings, app data, all the down to the exact way your homescreen was.

This is possible and better on Android using nandroid backups, but you can't do that without rooting and it's not sync based.

Samsung tried to duplicate this with SmartSwitch, but it only restored app data to about 25% of my apps and I still had to setup my homescreen folders and widgets.

Perhaps maybe this is one of the reasons Apple is keeping the homescreen app drawer based, cause maybe it will be a pain to try to restore.

Yeah that is one of the definite major benefits of IOS restoring.

"I don't always hop back to iOS, but when i do, i have homescreen screenshots of where my apps were".
