Is anyone else finding themselves addicted to changing their phone? I'm finding myself changing mine almost daily.

Is that weird? LOL

Andy

"Is that weird?" - No, that's ANDROID!! :D

I changed my look every day for the first couple of months until I found a look that I like thanks to FolderOrganizer, LauncherPro, Widget Locker and Beautiful Widgets. I think the only change I made in the last 2 weeks is going from a dark to a light colour wallpaper.

This is a genuine question, and not intended to start the eternal "Which is better, Apple or Android" debate, but do iPhones have the same level of customisation as Android?

I understand that you can change the icons, and wallpapers, but knowing how restrictive Apple are at allowing people to do what they want with thier kit, I find it's doubtful that you can REALLY mod am iPhone to the extent that you can with 'droid.

If this is the case, this begs the rhetorical question, why do people insist on buying Apple products.

Like I said, this isn't a plan to open up the old "which is better" debate. Just a personal observation.

Theres really not a lot you can do unless you jailbreak. I understand if you jailbreak you can change colours and resize icons. woo hooo.

As for why - Because its easy?

The ability to customise the Desire was the biggest factor when I chose an Android phone. A couple of friends at work had 3GS's then upgraded to iPhone4. I'd messed around with them quite a lot and they are great handsets, but apart from changing the wallpaper they always looked exactly the same. The novelty of swiping from screen to screen only lasts a short while, and after that I wanted to do more. Android lets you do exactly that.

How cool is it that every single Desire around the world is different from all the others?:)

Sorry for the late reply. That' an app called EasyMoney. REALLY cool banking app.
Multiple accounts, payment catagories charts, and other associated banking crap. You can use it for any bank. Not just Halifax.
Does anyone know of a banking app that syncs with your bank account rather than having to manual imput your transactions?

Thanks man. It all ties in well with your fonts.

I found a tutorial for making custom clocks. It involves using some dev stuff. The android sdk and eclipse. Just imported his existing project, swap out the graphics and export it to apk

Care to share that .apk mate?

Clock is killing it! :D I really want to use the buff theme, but it looks like real hard work, cant i apply it with metamorph? I have S-off now so can use metamorph! :D

working Great DanFrance, mate.

thank you.

BTW how difficult was it to get the full theme up and running?

I just downloaded some Buuf icons (i think from his deviantart page) and dropped onto my sdcard. Then using launcher pro, just changed the dock icons to those images.

Found an image on google images to use as a wallpaper. That's it really. Except the clock of course.
