The key difference being, I can do it all on my (stock) phone without having to root/jailbreak and with apps straight from the market. I'm not using any custom ROM or even launcher on my phone. :)

Yup, you can have 8 different home screens on your stock phone.

No wait, you can't actually :D

I don't need 8 homescreens (the one I posted is the single homescreen I use). That's the whole point of widgets, I don't need pages and pages of icons when I've got one page of widgets that does everything I need. :)

It's just Beautiful Weather 4x1 widget.

I don't remember if that's the one that uses skins. If so, is there a name to that one?

Totally false, I can JB an iPhone and make it look like this in a fraction of the time it takes a person to root an Android phone and put a custom rom on it.


It can even add a few of those gay ass widgets that Android people obsess over iOS not having.

Was "gay ass" really necessary? Just rubbed me the wrong way.

I've been chomping at the bit for ICS on my SGS2. From what I've read it is supposed to be released 1Q 2012.

That screenshot looks HORRIBLE.

Why would anyone want a picture of a smartphone on their smartphone? The Windows logo...just because you can? Ugh.

Even if you really love how an iPhone looks, that picture is poorly photoshopped (the "reflection") and the proportions are WAY off.

You're going to love it. ICS is the real deal and Google's best work yet. ICS addressed most of my complaint with Android and transformed it into the premier mobile OS.

CM7.1 with widgetlocker lockscreen.

I don't put that much stuff on the homescreens except for what I use when running.

Ok, forget the wallpaper that you find ugly & poorly photoshoped. I didn't post it because it looks great, I posted it because multiple people in this thread have said "why post iOS screen shots here? iOS always looks exactly the same lulz" It's to show that iOS doesn't have to look like iOS at all, even if you think the screen shot I posted's the ugliest thing you've ever seen. It looks absolutely nothing like iOS, and it takes all of 3 minutes to install iNav and with a slight bit of CSS knowledge you could make it look like anything you want.

So uh how long till we see a unique iOS shot?
