If you have jailbroken your iPhone you can try Android or Windows Phone front all for free.
Goto Cydia, search for Dreamboard (one word) and install, once done go back to Cydia and search for os7, install os7:revive. Now you can switch between iPhone, android and windows phone front.
Have fun and trick your friends

    Pirate applications and download malware you mean surely? You are such a hypocrite.

    I can think of anything I would want less. Mobile phones are complex enough with fake 'fronts' make it appear to be something else. Considering that most aspire to have an iPhone (in view of the cost), this sounds a bit like buying a 'fake' Rolex. No satisfaction, and in the end no real benefit.
  • The goodman was only suggesting if people wanted to try it out they can :)
    What he really wants to do is put on xbmc on his iOS now that is MEGA IMHO
    Hth
    Get Appletv2 & XBMC in and thank me later :beer:

    Personally if I was unfortunate to have an iphone I would want to pretend it was at least running android.

    Dreamboard and the themes associated aren't pirated or malware. Dreamboard was a paid cydia app that is now free and the theme will either be free or paid for.

    People really need to understand the difference between jail breaking/ rooting and pirating.

    In this case though I agree with Buzby.

    But what he says is true, xbmc is open source iirc and is multi platform so likening an open source app like xbmc to Dreamboard and its theme is the same.

    Try it if you like, Jailbreaking/rooting is still legal even in the US and its perceived draconian DMCA laws (and this from a developer!) Just as Buzby points out it just adds an extra layer that will (in the main part) reduce overall user experience.

    True? Yes.
    Helpful? I don't see anything helpful, but his meaningless mojo 'iOS is MEGA' that he keeps repeating in every post is simply annoying.
    Personally, I'll never buy iPhone because of fans like he.
