Hey guys,

Long time rooted Droid 1 user, contemplating switching to Iphone4 on verizon. I have no experience with a jailbroken Iphone4, so I'm asking some questions, hope you don't mind.

Here's what I want to do with my device, you tell me if a jailbroken Iphone can do it:

1. Check my gmail with an app, not the website.
2. Have a widget for my google calendar.
3. Allow wireless tethering without being charged.
4. Backup/restore all Jailbreak apps without Itunes
5. Drag and drop Mp3's and MP4's without Itunes.
6. Backup/restore enitire phone without Itunes.
7. Open mp3's that are emailed to me.
8. Customize my Wallpaper/icons/theme apps.

IT IS NOT MY INTENT TO START AN ANDROID VS IOS WAR!!!

4. PkgBackup or AptBackup I believe Cydia now allows you to back up within the app
5. I think so, not sure.
6. Not sure WiFi synch should allow you to back up, however restore? I'm not sure

Oh yeah, you talking about the new Manage my account feature? Forgot about that one.

WiFi Sync interferes with the restore process so the syncing part is fine but the restore option won't work as a result. Only other thing I could think of would be to use PwnageTool for this but I've never used it so not sure.
