iPhone 4S and iPad 2 Jailbreak - Page 2

So, has anyone put this on a 4s yet? I'm tempted but its been so long since I had a JB that i've learnt to live without it.

Do miss the few things I bought though & sb settings!

Yep. It's not just the backwards compatibility with the OS though. A lot of major players and small players alike don't like coding for android simply because of having to code for multiple hardware profiles at the same time.

I remember Skype throwing a big hoohar because of the multitude of camera hardware profiles they had to include in their app. Crazy stuff.

Yep, did mine yesterday. Only problem I had which has been had by a few others as well is that the Music app stopped working. It would launch OK but no songs would play. I just did a full backup, restore, jailbreak and popped everything back on from the backup and it's working fine. Sinead's phone worked fine 100% though.

When iOS 4 was first jailbroken I remember it stopped a few apps from working, so if I even do decide to do it, I'm going to wait to hear about how others have gone first

@Toby...

Sorry but you're wrong.

I don't think I know anyone who's used an S2 that has any intention to go back to using an iphone. It is absolutely a game changer, and I stand by that statement.

@Blighter - You can, easily. Probably because it's not as heavy as a house brick

ANd i've got tiny hands, so it's not really a problem. Also, I don't really understand what you mean about the animation and stuff, it sounds like a really minor thing to me, but maybe I'm not getting what you mean.

Back on topic

Temporarily back off topic.

I've never seen a stutter or "lack of smoothness" on any animations/scrolling on my S2, even after I get it back from Josh with every game open in the background.

Back on topic...

Guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on how awesome (or otherwise) the S2 is

I've used an S2 quite a bit (Lynnie's phone), and prefer my iPhone. Admittedly I've not played with it in depth like I would if it were my phone, but from what I've played with, I prefer the iPhone. Browsing on the iPhone is far better (bar the lack of Flash), as it renders the pages so much better than the S2 does (something I don't think anyone can really argue with).

Either way, they're both great phones. Arguing which is better is a bit like arguing which is better between an Xbox 360 and a PS3. It's a daft argument as it's opinion based and therefore there will never really be a clear winner, yet fans of either side will argue till they're blue in the face that they're right.

Sorry, back on topic now

Oh, and it's Xbox 360, easily

I meant using as in, being your only phone for a length of time, not playing with one however extensively. Funny enough though, I hated browsing so much on the iphone I stopped doing it. Hate the way it deals with multiple windows and you have to push so hard on the home button, the lag before it actually works makes it unbearable for me. S2 browsing is a pleasure though. I mean, let's face it, if it was 'all that' why the need for jailbreaking? Speaks volumes, but no doubt there's a 'reasonable' (read:unreasonable) explanation for that too. But you're right about arguing about it - although always seems to be the iPhone users who start the debate with seemingly baseless opinion being touted as fact.
