It's been so long since the last JB I think I've forgotten how to do it.

No reason why I couldn't go from 4.0.1 to 4.1 tonight since my blobs are saved, right?

 

Not trying to be a troll here, I have a lot of respect for the iPhone...

You guys are all into jailbreaking your phones and customizing them should really give Android a shot for your next device. The open source platform and root capabilities allows customization that blows away anything you can do on your iphone.

 

Go away troll.

 

That'd be nice if I could get all the money back for the apps I paid for or there was a way to port over licenses.

Or I could get a G2. Free rootkits for all!

 

I'm really considering it at this point. I'm waiting for the displays to improve to the level of resolution that the iPhone 4 has, though admittedly I haven't gotten my hands on a Super AMOLED-equipped phone yet. I'm sure the processors are as fast as I need them to be, though even more powerful ones will be nice. Also the battery life on some still worries me

I just really, really, really like plugging in my iPhone into a USB port and controlling it through my car's radio instead of picking it up every damn time and looking away from the road to change the track or something when it's through AUX. I might just sell it though since prices are decent.... and pick up a refurb iPod Touch or something.

 

I'm using an old ipod cassic in my car. It stays in my car at all times and that handles that.

As far as battery life, I'm on a rooted Nexus One with Cyanogen 6.0 OS and I'm getting over 40 hours of better life with a good amount of usage and 2 push accounts synced.

 

Yea, that's a rough situation I guess. I wonder if you contacted the companies if they would be willing to give you a license for the Android app if you've already bought the Apple version.

 

I said out loud a few months ago that if any company wants someone to switch and try, they need to give out so many credits in the respective App Store.

If I got $50 worth of credit in the Android App Store, I'd switch over when it was time.

 

Damn, now that has me interested. Just to clarify, I was looking at the EVO's battery life (not that I really like it much) and the Vibrant, and there's been mixed results. A few other of my friends with Droids have had hit/miss battery life even when cranking down brightness, turning off GPS, etc.

I'm looking forward to open source... not some damn program telling me what I should and shouldn't download and removing shit from my phone.

 

Apple replaced the wifes phone......

 

Seriously why do you even need to do this?

If anyone here is interested in android we got a thread about it, and they could go there and get info.

 

Just spreading the info while hacking was a topic.

Don't get so defensive, is the iphone helping you with that virginity thing?

 

 

That's also assuming the quality of the apps in the Android App Store or whatever store you are moving to is at the same level of quality you are coming from and that they exist in the first place.

 

That's why I'd vote for a credit and not a direct license transfer.

^Fuck you, hater!

 

Just a fair heads up....

 

Regardless if it's a CC or direct license transfer you're still assuming that it's an app that is equivalent in quality to the app you are coming from, regardless of platform.

I think, for right now, there are going to be some growing pains with people not wanting to switch between devices until a large amount of apps are available on any of the smartphone platforms.

For example, I use GasCubby, MindJet, DropBox and Things on my iPhone very regularly. DropBox is currently the only app also available on Android, but because the other three are not (1 of which never will be because it's tied to a desktop app), I don't see a benefit to want to switch over to Android in the first place. This also doesn't count all the games that I've spent money on.

I'm not saying people won't switch, I'm just saying that the longer a person stays on a particular smartphone and the more apps they've bought for that platform, the less they will want to switch regardless of the quality of the other device. It will also depend on how the other platform's respective app store is viewed as being equivalent or better than what they already have, which we are still a couple years from having IMO. Android may have apps better than Apple and vice versa. Goes both ways.

 

A credit would go a long way to bridging the divide. Regardless of the quality of apps, there are going to be more different apps than the same ones. With a credit, I could at least take some chances and not feel like I've completely wasted the money on crap ones.

A couple of years, and you're going to see comparable apps across the board, if they aren't outright made by the same developers. There's too much money in the Android marketplace not to attempt it.

 

 

I think its fundamentally impossible for the Android marketplace to NOT catch up, at least in terms of diversity in apps. It's open source, has multiple phones coming out on all four of the major networks and at a faster rate than Apple is pumping out iPhones/iPods. And you can only have so many different apps coming out at once... a lot of the apps are redundant or pointless. Seriously, sex facts? an app to simulate a beer in a mug?

 

That's the one about the issue on sliding cases right?

 

Current prediction is that by 2012, Android will be the number 1 smartphone OS in the world. It is currently #2, behind Symbian.

 

Never was a fan of sliding cases cause they always tend to scratch the phone.

 

Well the iPhone is only sold on 1 carrier in the US.

 

Yea, thanks. Stop being so defensive, I was responding to Costco.

 

Wasn't trying to be.
I'm just saying...

 

Can I go ahead and update or do I need to wait until morning?

 

F it. Geohot jumped the gun with limera1n and I'm updating now.

 

Looks like tomorrow is still a go...

 

Limera1n is a touch buggy. But it's done.

 

uhh yea be careful with it.

read that it can really mess with your phone, even after a full restore.

 

The couple of bugs I've seen have cleared themselves up. Except for one: I had all my apps after I JB'ed, now they are gone.

A sync, and now they are back minus one. And now that's back.

All good here. Just a couple of reboots and resyncs and I'm all set. Checking out GameCenter now.

 

What the shit! TUAW is saying that greenpoison is being delayed cause of limera1n.

 

So if I use limera1n do update my JB'd iPhone 4 running 4.0.1 to stock 4.1 and then use limera1n?

 

Yup.
