Jailbroken iPhone mostly is just equivalent customization level to an unrooted stock Android phone.
And yes, all the things you asked for can be done using a single app: Tasker.
Rooting does not remove stock ROM. You can unroot and warranty is back. It takes just like 30seconds. Its the replacing of ROMs which are a bit more complicated.
