Is the XDA forum the best place for tips and tricks for the SGS2 (and android in general)? lots of good stuff though (aside from that incident) can get direct help from app devs - in so fact if you have the time you could even get help to make your own to do exactly what you wanted to |

or I could just visit jailbreakme.com on my iphone... kkthxbye The exploit that made jailbreakme possible was a very bad hole (root acces through simply visiting a website). Thankfully comex and co used the exploit for good. |

Yeah, XDA has a lot of noobs, but it's still a great resource. You just have to filter better now.
Nobody is saying Google is safety king, but you can't seriously sit here and tell us that going to a website and a simple script on that page able to change root system settings on your phone is ever a good thing for security. |

Typical, because Google never had a security hole in any of its products. [rolleyes] Every single root exploit on Android is bad on their part but, I've never seen any publicly released root exploit on Android that involved going to a website and clicking install. Google's equivalent cockup is the "one click" root exploits that made the Droid Dream trojans possible. (Droid Dream used the same exploits to gain root access as the "one click" methods without the users knowledge to insert its payload onto the affected phone.) |

But why would I want to change all of that, when everything just works? As to customisable, seriously what is so customisable about Android, please define what makes it so much better?. Same can be said about pre-built systems vs. building your own computer. |

But why would I want to change all of that, when everything just works? I was trying to educate you into what was possible on Android as you seem a bit clueless about what it is capable of and was hoping you'd see why some people like that level of customisation. |

I said it's easier to root iphone, which still rings true... whats your point? I'd go one further and say it's far easier to jailbreak an iphone than to root an android phone, such a piss about. |

Some like choice, but nobody is going to go to that level of customisation unless they are a right geek! When comparing phones, you have to factor in Joe Bloggs. He is the one buying most of the phones out there, and they will mostly run it stock in terms of customisation but may well download a few apps. |
