Hollow.Droid Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Yep definitively. The last i device I had was a 1st gen iPod Nano, with some modding it could run linux, videos, doom and a few other apps/features. I've currently got a Nexus One and chose this for its easy ability to root and for the dev following. Flash addict here :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teebor Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Not yet, I've got a galaxy S and the version of Android is fine on there so far as I'm concerned atm, however if Samsung drop support or keep dragging their heels I suspect I will be rooting my phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted March 23, 2011 Subscriber² Share Posted March 23, 2011 I don't jailbreak my iPhone, there just is nothing gained by doing it for what I want - calls, texts and the internet. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NienorGT Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 YES I'm an iPhone user, not an iPhone fanboy. I have many reasons to be on iOS and right now, I see no way to switch to Android or another platform. iOS is the platform that gets the best software and game support so I stick to it. But, I can't live on iOS without Jailbreaking it and modding it MY way, specially that I paid my iPhone 4 outright, it's MINE. Jailbreakers got many features found in current iOS WAY before Apple implemented them. Even if they were unpolished and not user friendly to use, we still got them before Apple. Some of them: - Apps before the AppStore - Wallpapers before 4.0 - Folder before 4.0 - Tethering before 3.0 - Mobile hotspot before 4.3 - Spell-check before 3.0 - Multitasking before 4.0 - Background support for audio in apps before 4.0 - Skip and audio controls for apps like pendora before 4.0 - Copy and paste - Many more... Seriously, all OS makers should "allow but discourage and unsupport" modifications. Currently, only Palm/HP do this. Android call himself "open" but recently, many phones have been built with securities to prevent any modifications. Oh, and, Rooting or Jailbreak is not only for piracy...

chicken-royal Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I jailbroke my iPod touch 3G, but I haven't rooted my HTC Wildfire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TangoEight Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Did they add a brand new notification system? That alone would make me jailbreak for an alternative. There's mobile notifier that let's you ignore notifications for later and puts them in a menu in the app switcher. It's in Peter Hajas repo "http://phajas.xen.prgmr.com/repo/" without quotes. I root/jailbreak everything I own except my se w980 hmm might do that tonight :p I had my ipod for nearly two years before I jailbroke it then I was like where have you been all my life. Still not flashed any roms yet on my Android but when I do it will probably be the same why didn't I do this sooner. When you buy a device its only half as good as it can be, to get the rest you've got xda-developers, modaco, the iPhone dev team and for the cool guys with Sony ericssons se-nse :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeston Veteran Posted March 26, 2011 Veteran Share Posted March 26, 2011 Yep, rooted my Droid 1 so I could overclock it and stick custom ROMs on it. Gingerbread runs like a dream on it, thanks to ChevyNo1's ROMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDStriker Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I don't jailbreak my iPhone, there just is nothing gained by doing it for what I want - calls, texts and the internet. :p one thing that benefits me greatly is to go beyond 8 tabs in safari mass preload for the win :p device just feels plain without jailbreak imo Posted from an IPhone 3gs 3.0 on the 11th safari tab :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
