If you mean going from Android to iOS not a chance. If you mean rooting my Android and installing a custom ROM, I've done it to every phone I've owned. (Currently a Note 4)

I've used both iOS and Android. I had so many troubles with the Android OS especially with updates and at the end of the life cycle of my phones I will not go back.

Am I missing something here? The question seems to beg some further information. It's a helluva good question, but I can't respond without something to go on...

I think what you mean is rooting your android phone and loading different Rob's correct? If that is the case, then yes, I would recommend doing that. If you aren't a tech guy, I would have someone who is otherwise you might "brick" (render your phone useless, a paperweight) your phone.

Holy bat sh!t Robin, my head is spinning and I feel about a million times 'stupider' since I haven't a clue what all of you are talking about! Replacing the operating system on my phone? Wouldn't that mess with EVERYTHING???

I have thought about rooting my phone but I've never gotten around to it... now that it's off contract, maybe I'll give it a try...

My first smartphone was a windows phone. After many flaws and issues experienced in a short time I switched to an Android device and sense have never gone back.

I currently have apple VP on my LINKEDIN PROFESSIONAL PROFILE, and is thinking about joining the update team that continues to test update like I did with the MICROSOFT windows product lines.

This will help reduce cybercrime, on network mainframes, and as customers as yourselves walk into stores!
