Shantz Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Honestly, you can do that on a JB iPhone too. the options may not be as varied as Android, but there are a lot. You don't need to root/JB Android phone to do that.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solitaire Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 but y'all root it anyway so whats the beef? I don't think shantz has rooted his phone though, atleast as far as i know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superfrag Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 (edited) but y'all root it anyway so whats the beef? Modding and applying themese on Android phones is easier than applying your custom themes on JB iPhone. Keep in mind I said custom.. 80% of the Cydia themes suck.. I've gone through so many of them, came back to stock in the end. Edited October 27, 2010 by Superfrag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont have a problem with modding and customizing. I know that if i give it some time, then my phone will look as i want it to. But the performance issues out of the box with the sgs has really spoiled the experience for me. I dont want to install a ton of fixes and pathetic firmwares to get my phone running. Whatever SGS owners here will say, they are just consoling themselves but they know that the performance they get is not what you should expect out of a 1 ghz proc and 512mb ram and a powerful graphics chip. Like u say, I would never recommend anyone to buy the SGS. Stick to HTC desire Z or hope for Google to release a nexus 2.

Like u say, I would never recommend anyone to buy the SGS. Stick to HTC desire Z or hope for Google to release a nexus 2. I understand your point.. I myself bought the G2 after trying it at the store.. its so smooth out of the box.. no lags or stalls or anything of the kind.. That said, I'm waiting for perma root to apply mods! for out of box xp try x10 its gud but not as much things to do as sgs X10 out of the box?! You're kidding right? That's worse than the SGS, it runs on 1.6/Donut.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there are rumours floating around that Samsung is doing Nexus Two and it will be released next week. I will be massively disappointed if that is the case. Or hope that if it is indeed true then Google stepped in with a big role to actually teach them how to make an Android phone. All vendors except HTC are doing such a rape of android. Samsung we already know. SE keeps playing catch up. Moto is such a massive fail as well, they keep changing the underlying android framework apis in a way that keeps breaking stuff. A lot of the apps I install have something like this mentioned in its description: "Doesn't work on Droid X", "Doesn't work on captivate/vibrant", "Doesn't work on Droid" etc..WTF!!

Death Stryke Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 (edited) ^True. And most customers then blame android, while the fault may lie with the manufacturer. This is why Google needs to step up and take more control. They should take a leaf out of MS's book and put a little more control on the handsets that come with android. They have the resources to do that. But then I dont know if it will break any open source policies if that happens. I feel at that you can't be too open source with handsets, where at the end of the day, manufacturers and carriers have most control unless they release handsets like Synapse do, which they wont. Thus there are possibilities of borked firmwares. There is only so much XDA and cyanogen etc can do to correct that. And other than 0.1% of the population, no one would know about xda etc anyway, so customer in the end suffers.
