Because the screen size reminds us of 2010?
...
(Seriously though, look up GooPhone i5S if you want something like that)

Because Apple would find a way to sue the crap out of any developer who tried?

How about... no?

Because Apple lawyers would eat you alive rather than letting you have some freedom of choice except black/white color and wallpaper, maybe? BTW, you have joined XDA just to ask this? OMG, I'm LMAO right now...

because porting is not that easy..
i m nt a developer bt porting any os would first requiring unlocking the bootloader which i guess is not possible wid iphone5.
ios is beautiful why wanna change that??

Because average iPhone users can't care less. As Apple will say, it just works, well good enough for most people not to care.
Apple = simplicity / terrible for development
Android = more complicated / developer-friendly
I use my iPad mainly for surfing the web, since you can't really do much with that thing, even if you are jailbroken.
Locked bootloaders prevent ANY type of porting. The most I can do for a different look is to install Dreamboard themes.
Android on the other hand is perfect for making small tweaks and installing new / pre-alpha apps.
Or you can choose not to mess around too much.
In short, Android on iPhone = next to impossible.
Still, if you dare http://www.wikihow.com/Install-Android-Into-an-iPhone,
Only for older devices though, and judging from your response, I don't think you are up to the job. Just saying...

Not possible also......

It would be too complicated for Apple users.

iphone 5 isnt nowhere near build quality as android phones,..and it just started using 4'' screens last year. by the time they get 4.5'' screens, samsung will have flexible display or curved glass device out, and apple phones are boring and useless..notice i didnt mention anything about android screen size, because i dont see a future of big-ass-phone trend continuing in the mainstream market..

Main reason people won't do it is because they can't. Simple. There's a type of encryption Apple uses in a certain part of their OS and no one has been able to figure it out

Oh i understand !
I have a Iphone 5 and a Nexus 7
I really love android beacuse you can mod, install many emulator without rooting !
I stay on iphone because i can't find a beautiful adroid smartphone .. they all suck with BIG porthole on the back , i hate that !
They can't make simple phone that's why i love apple stuff ..

Because its far too difficult to do and rather pointless as now a days there is far superior and more beautiful hardware that runs android natively. Yes that is subjunctive but I can't stand most everything about apple and don't see the iPhone 5 as anything more than a copy of the last few models, its old and boring.
If there were bad hardware only for droids than maybe someone would care enough to spend the countless hours it would take to do this, but I can't imagine anyone who would have the talent, the time, and the reason to do this
Sorry, but I'm afraid this is a lost cause....

Personally i wouldn't want it since the screen size is so small. I will agree that their build quality is still very nice though.

if you want android then why the hell you buy a iPhone??

Android OS requires common sense and basic logic, like many OS's, this is just one thing any apple device could not comprehend.

Putting android on a iPhone is like putting a diamond into a freash pile of steaming dog crap....ur taking a superior software and sticking into a 3 year outdated hardware....that got released this year and was passed off as the latest and greatest to apple fan boys who r to busy juggling a latte and a iPhone to do research to see there buying crap lol....apple rant plus one!

Android vs Apple, voice you opinion...

What to say to apple fans trying to manipulate a layman, into buying an apple, in laymen terms? Or what's the ultimate android to apple bash? Or what's the best reason to buy android vs apple? One of the main reasons I wanna know what other people would say, especially to their friends or family. I've never touched a Mac nor will I ever so I can't really say anything but tech specs, so that's my main reason to start this thread. Plus... I also wanna hear if other people are as sick as I am just hearing the freakin word, "Apple".

before i use Apple, i thought it is the best phone, but after i use apple iphone 4, i find it is good but with so many limitions, cannot download the useful apps is not good.till now, i can only download the apps from app store. while android is much better than iphone, my husband's galaxy s2 hd lte is good enough.
Why is there an apple sub forum in xda. Wont it be a head ache for the mods to get the spam out of it?
Ontopic. My brother has an apple and he can't stop bragging about it. Apple this apple that. I don't know what so big of a deal with it. Its also costs damn too much. I do accept its a bit fast and little stuff but that would be cause I have a wildfire.
Also it only varies based on its memory Rom (or whatever they call it) . No different styles no different sizes. But android ranges from big to small powerful to low powered.
Maybe I say this cause I only used android but I'm not gonna use iPhone any time in the future.

Customisation is Android's Strong Point!
I would say try an iPhone and try an Android phone - the iPhone will let you do so much, but then it will give you a brick wall which you can't jump over. The Android phone, on the other hand, will give you a blank canvas which you can turn into a Picasso or a Rembrandt, depending on your tastes.
Android = customisation, at its best.
iPhone = standardisation and closed ecosystem (at its best).
It all boils down to preferences anyway. I'd stick with Android though. I just can't stand the fact that iPhone's UI is a glorified app drawer. BORING.
I purchased an iPhone 4 the first month it came out. I had never owned a smart phone before this. I thought it was fun to play around with but I eventually got really bored of it. After 3 months I really didn't understand the hype behind the phone. I gave it to my dad and went back to my 5 year old Sony Ericsson which was WAAAAY more customizable than the iPhone, even though it was very old. With the iPhone I felt like someone was cutting my steak for me and cleaning my mouth, but with the Sony Ericsson I could choose whatever type of Steak I wanted and make it myself, constantly trying new seasonings. I know that was a terrible metaphor, but whatever.
In January of last year I picked up an HTC Inspire 4G. The first month my grades dropped because of how much fun I was having. I rooted it, installed a custom ROM, playing GBA/SNES/N64 games, and did everything I could do on my PC on my phone. I even edited microsoft word documents before sending them to my teachers straight from my phone. It was a whole new world. I could literally do anything with my phone.
Over the summer I bought a Galaxy S2 i9100, and I still have it. Best. Phone. Ever. Created. I skype with my friends using the front facing camera, watch HD videos while exporting to my HD TV, and connect a mouse and keyboard and surf the web while on vacation. I even leave my laptop at home when I travel on short trips now. I just hook up the phone to the hotel's TV and browse the web.
So the reason I prefer Android is that you can do anything you can on an iPhone and a lot more. IOS is discovering an alien civilization deep within space while Android is finding an empty planet and colonizing it.

Hands down Android ....
Apple is just UI & the Brand they have managed to create over the years.
Android is the best that that could happen to Mobile devices...
From my "experience" (@Israel) most people with iphones are those who use their PCs just for facebook, they just dont want anything "complicated".
Android is more of a thinking man's platform (imo!)
Once a friend of mine bragged that the iphone is simple & small while android (galaxy nexus) is too complicated, messy and huge.
It made me chuckle cuz most people (including him) have huge cases on their iPhone's making it bigger and uglier than my HTC desire, which survived, and continues to kickass w/o a case for almost two years now.

A friend of mine recently just upgraded from the iPhone 3Gs to the iPhone 4s. When I found out, I was all, "uhh, I've shown you what Android can do." To which my friend responded, "Yeah, but all I really do on my phone is check Facebook & Twitter."
Just saying, if that's all I did on my smartphone, I wouldn't spend the extra money a month for a data plan. I would just have a regular flip phone.

iAgree. But I think iPhone(along with all Apple products) makes some kind of ego for the owner. Other people think they are rich and elegant etc.
But as we all know, it's not cool to own an iPhone

Actually, iPhones don't cost more than any other Android super phones. People just think iPhones are expensive because they don't offer a lot of bang for your buck.

Apple is a novelty item now a days. Just to show off that they have it.
In the early days, it was the thing to have because it had all the apps and all the things people would want but now that Android is growing and developing more, it's almost the same for normal users. Of course the android needs to be on even grounds with the apple phone to be considered. ie iPhone 4 to Sg2, Razr, nexus.
For Normal users, if they don't customize the rom, and use it is as is. I think Apple would be the most useful for them.
For "Advanced" users (I use advanced lightly), the Android can do a lot more than Apple in terms of customization and useage.
Personally I'd go with Android. I thought about getting an iPhone but in the end I chose the galaxy S.

uuh, oh rly?
i see a difference of whooping 300.- here
Shush...
Given the kind of feedback that's coming out I suggest we keep this thread under the radar, lest Apple decide to sue us for breaking one of their patents.
Considering the patents they have, I wouldn't be surprised they patented "the ability to have an opinion on a smartphone and its real value" by now! They typically use that patent to spread wrong ideas against Android phones (forceclosing issues, copying, etc) and in favour of their product (the "innovative" FaceTime for instance, new notification system, etc) to their sheep..er.. I mean, customers.
My Opinion
My own feeling is that the iphone is great for those who want an item that comes out of a box in a usable form that they can conform to.
The android is best for someone that wants to customize their phone to their likes, and for the tasks they will perform.
My wife would probably do great with an I-phone, She has an android, but she has never changed anything about it since the second day she had it.
I am always trying roms, kernals, and apps to make my phone perfect for me.
my gf recently got her first android.
after a day she asked me if she could change that stupid lockscreen from samsung to something.. more useful.
i showed her widgetlocker
now her lockscreen looks cooler than mine... xD
thats something what would've been impossible with an iphone..

The biggest thing that annoys me with apples OS is the lack of a dedicated back button and the functionality that goes along with it. Its very annoying to open a link in an email and then have to manually go back to the email app. Very disorienting. Every other mobile os has some way of accomplishing this.

I've bought a android phone, not because I could not afford an IPhone...
I consider the IPhone a sub-quality product (by my standards).
I would be counter-sense to put something that resembles something sub-par, to my android system.

Although no one here is willing to say it, many people buy androids as they cannot afford an iPhone.
I guess this is an alternative for them, but most wouldn't know how to do it in the first place.
I for one prefer Android after using a relatives iPhone for a few days, just didn't get along with it. (Keyboard started to stick for some reason.)
99/100 people on these android forums would say that Android is better, that's all I'm saying, you're preaching to the converted here pal
the ui seems to be smoother than ics and that lured me to use it any speedy rom to suggest?
Many people here are not to poor to buy a iPhone.
First of all a lot of people buy the nexus phones outright.
Second of all any new higher end Android device launches at the same or higher price point then the iPhone.
Yes there are budget/cheaper phones. That is a good thing. Some people just don't want a dumphone but also don't want the latest and greatest.
That entire to poor for a iPhone is nothing butt stupid BS that iPhone fanboy children say.
Also most of the world ends up buying their devices outright period. Don't matter if its iPhone android blackberry or a dumb phone.

Its just a fashion trend which everyone thinks its cool. Everything in iphone is locked... you cant do jack **** with it even if its jailbroken. Battery only lasts 1 day on standby...piece of crap.
My opinion but im sure alot of people with android phones agree
i had problems with wifi on joyos rom so i flashed back to nexus mv

All of them.
They are all good. The best one is the one that meets your needs.
I don't like iOS because you can't do **** on it... doesn't mean the UI of iOS is bad, so why bash on a ROM meant to look similar to the UI of iOS with the upsides of an android device? so how all this iphone bashing came into play when the OP was asking about a ROM makes no sense...
iOS UI is not bad... just that android interface is too good to beat them, personally i was asking about this rom concerning about the speed cuz this rom seems to be real quick like no lag at all. ICS for the nexus s is awesome but every single time i try to open my dialer i have to wait about 30 secs and this annoys me

All depends on what your preference is. If you love an open ecosystem on your phone, love flashing ROMs and basically have complete control over your phone, go android. If you want to have a boring interface (prolly always will be cuz they havent changed $&@t since it first came out) and a locked down ecosystem where apple dictates what you do with your phone, go iphone. I know im really biased towards the android. Ive played with both and definitely love android more. Though you might just wanna wait for the iphone 5 to actually come out or atleast wait for some official specs then decide for sure. Either way ull def be happy.
IPhone if you want a closed and restricted device that let's you do NOTHING to the phone that you want. Besides being able to set a photo as a wallpaper and lock screen wallpaper.
You get to do MUCH more with JB than what iPhone's OS offers. Don't buy it because of it's apple brand and popularity. If you have Android, you'll DEFINITELY lose your features.

Well considering we don't really know much about the iPhone 5 other than iOS 6 and also considering a JB Android phone hasn't been mass-produced yet... I'd say it's a little early to say one way or another unless you just want to start a Apple-Android flamewar
I think both Apple and Google will have great phones running on their respective platforms though. It'd be cool to see what happens and what is released
JB I think ,more device for choosing. 4S is the 5th iPhone (iPhone, iPhone 3G,3GS,4,4S)....Maybe the new one will named iPhone 6 or iPhone LTE?
Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using xda premium
I'd always choose an Android device, since you can customize it to the very end. Actually the thread title should be iPhone 5 vs Galaxy Nexus, because it's the first Android device to have jelly bean. Considering updates over hardware the Galaxy Nexus is the phone you want, for hardware I'd say Galaxy S3.

I think the main issue of android it improve the virtual machine that is using because as all know IO5 runs directly on hardware. With the same hardware I would say that iphone will always be more smoother and with no lags.
I hope with 4.1 google solves that issues.

Assuming the iPhone will get a 4" screen then it will really fit in the "high end" category. But now, It is in the same "too small screen" category as my 2.8" Optimus Me.

[DISCUSSION] iOS 7

Being the centerpiece of the Android community, I would like to see what my fellow Nexus owners think of iOS 7. I did not create this thread for "flame wars" or any thing like that but rather a place where we can all maturely discuss our thoughts on Apple's new mobile operating system.
Personally I think it looks very interesting! Certainly a change of pace from where they have been going since the beginning of iOS and that's a good thing. I do believe they took a lot of cues from Android though including the look and feel, notification drawer, and the control center. The thing I'm most excited over though is what Google has in store for us to top it (and you know they will).
That's why I love technology, competition creates awesome new things for us consumers. What are your thoughts?
Here's a YouTube video of it just in case you didn't see it yet:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKibbvhajOA
Looks very Android-esque, esp. the messaging app and the new "style" looks very much like MIUI, however I think there's already a thread open regarding this
Last iOS7 thread was closed, let's see how this one fairs.
On topic:
My thoughts are that I don't care how they make the OS look, or even function. Until they open up their OS and make it more flexible, I will never buy a device that runs it. I don't need them to tell me what I can and can't do with the phone I've already purchased. Then again, most Android phones have bloatware put in by OEMs and are just as restrictive. Guess that's why I bought a Nexus 4, browse the Nexus 4 forums, and genuinely enjoy AOSP. I don't exclusively run AOSP, but the fact that I can, and do, switch between ROMs is why I won't be using iOS7.
It looks like MIUI....:beer:

No? It's still for girls then.
I don't see why these threads keep getting closed just like the 4.3. Its related so ....anyways. I do applaud them for trying. But in the end their os is still closed. You get what you get and you can't change anything about it. When you buy and android phone you get more . you can make it yours . as for innovation, under all the new icons, new colors, new notification center, etc, the os is technically unchanged. But you know what, people will buy it. Some people like being told what's cool and what to buy . some don't like modifying and just want something that gets up and goes. While that may be good for some it may not be good for others.

But you know what, people will buy it. Some people like being told what's cool and what to buy . some don't like modifying and just want something that gets up and goes. While that may be good for some it may not be good for others.

Looks pretty cool but Android all the way

I definitely like the aesthetics of it, but no file manager/downloading files makes it a hard sell.
It looks pretty nice actually..
At least it has widgets now.

Last ios vs Android argument I had was back at the iPhone 4 times. It has since become boring to bash them. Who cares..

That's not the purpose of this thread?
It is to discuss it and possibly compare it. Not bash it.
I think it looks good. Refreshing for iphone users to have a new look!

I'd say it's starting to look more like Android, and the iPhone users who preferred the "iPhone look" (Like the missis) agreed that she won't upgrade as it's begun to stray, and then she'd rather just buy and Android phone and let me set it up for her - if those are the kinda looks she's looking for.

Good to see it from a users viewpoint. I guess they have grown into that look
It's good that they changed the UI and it does look somewhat nice, but I couldn't help feeling I was watching i/o again.
From a Nexus 4 bathing in Jelly Beans
My girlfriend and I watched the whole conference, she has an iPhone 5, and I have to admit I was impressed with the overhaul. The semi-transparency and the white mixed with vivid colors will look great on her phone and iPad. The iPad is where I'm really looking forward to seeing it. It's about time Apple stepped up and really pressure Google to make Key Lime Pie the best OS it can be.
That being said. Not to start a debate... I personally wouldn't leave Android for iOS 7. I like my Nexus 4 too much... At least until the Nexus 5 comes out.

Although I applaud Apple for overhauling the look of their iOS (it looks better than iOS 6 for sure) it looks like they taken features from android/blackberry/win8 and just complied it into one. Does it impress me? No it doesn't, Android is still by far more advanced than iOS will ever be and this is coming from someone who had the iPhone 4. I got tired of not being able to customize anything and have to use the phone just like Apple wants people to. Does it impress those people who use apple iPhone and apple products only? Yes it does it probably does.. I was disappointed, I was expecting Apple to come up with something new I guess but of course they didn't. "Innovative"..
I'm not one to bash Apple but....
It's like android, blackberry and win8 had a 3 way marriage and it created iOS7.
Although, their Mac Pro looked interesting.

I think the new OS screamed "Android!!!!!!" and the new Safari reminds a bit Google Chrome for Android, specially the card-tabs (which looks identical to me).
But I also don't care if they are being inspired by Android, after all, that's a good thing, right? Back in the days people would say Android used to copy Apple, now it's going the other way!!! AND it was about time Apple did some major changes to iOS so I'm happy for'em

Android users are smarter than iOS users

Lol.. it amazes me to see how dumb the majority of these Apple fan boys are
The word freezer and oven come up so much times
What the hell were you doing on a apple forum
anyway, you know: if you are a driver, you buy an android device; if you are a passenger, you buy an iphone
good day
regards
Apple is far ahead of Android now ..... but i hope android will reach soon.
Haha I love the freezer trick. I'll have to try it the next time I'm in boot loop instead of Odin

Normally, I would just say, "Get a new phone." But since an unlocked iPhone 5S costs $849.99... let's just say Apple fanboys are usually poor. :cyclops:
I was on those forums recently reading the same thing because my girlfriends replacement iPhone 4s fried the wifi right after doing the update (first unit was a year old and had some software glitches but Telus offered to just order a new one from applecare). Anyway since the phone was still under warranty I did not try the freezer trick. She's on her third iPhone 4s now, hope third time is a charm.

Are you aware that 79% of the Smartphone market runs on Android? And that Apple desperately clings to a meagre 15,5%?

Apple is anything but 'ahead'...
Android users are way more in number than ios users.
Apple is just for name but android provides real potential
