Because of a recent ruling, I'm avoiding the use of the fingerprint to open my phone. It was super convenient, but the police have no right to look in my phone without my consent.
If it weren't for our right to privacy, the Supreme Court wouldn't have overruled the ridiculous laws about sodomy that criminalized consenting actions between adults.American's obsession about privacy![]()
Why aren't you using "do not disturb"? You put the legit callers on the list and keep your drunk friends off. You can set the time it's active and don't get the sounds etc that you normally get. I have mine set until I get up at 5:30. It's awesome. I don't know what it'd be called on android, but I'm sure you have something similar.Another thing I miss is being able to set individual volumes. I used to be able to get away from drunk, angst filled calls at 3 am on A Thursday morning by setting my ringtone volume to mute and keeping my alarm volume current.. Not anymore!
Ugh. You obviously haven't been paying attention to the legality of the jb community. There have been articles posted on this very site. Please don't talk about something you have no knowledge about--unless you work for Fox News. No one cares about their lack of accurate reporting.The TOS specifies what you can do with it and what you can't.
If you break that, you are unethical.

Trying to find third party Text apps in the Apple App Store, and nothing coming up.
Like Android has some great ones, Textra is my fav, or Handcent, or the new Google Messenger.
Are any of those available for the iPhone, or is it the case of we get iMessage and that's it ? I only ask because Apple has allowed third party keyboards finally like Swype, maybe they also offer other third party apps ?
Hey TB quick question on your JB experiences with the 6+.Update now one week later;
Overall I am starting to really like this iPhone 6 Plus, with all the different JB Cydia apps and tweaks I have experimented with the past week, I think I have found the ones I like, and have the phone setup pretty well now. I have a total of 12 Cydia apps installed, 2 of them really good AdBlockers, which is a must have for me on any smartphone.
As far as bending, people keep bringing up ? I am not worried about that. I have the official Apple leather case, which feels great in the hand, and doesn't add much bulk, and seems to keep the phone solid enough. I mean suppose the phone could bend with no case, but you would have to go out of your way to purposely try to bend it hard with a lot of pressure to actually bend it. Which I don't see ever happening without forcing it, which you would never do anyways.
Main reason I switched from Android, was just for a different change of pace, something fresh and new to me. I love Android and Lollipop is awesome, but I wanted something different after 5 years straight of Android. If the HTC One M9 is 5.5" I may get that, I really like the 5.5" screen size. The Nexus 6 does intrigue me a lot, but that thing is a beast, heavier than the 6 Plus, a lot wider, thicker, etc... The width being the biggest issue to me on the Nexus 6, just so hard to one hand that thing. The 6 Plus being lighter, thinner and a lot narrower does it make easier to handle, yeah the 6 Plus is actually taller than the Nexus 6, but the height doesn't matter that much to me IMO, while width and weight do.
Battery life on the 6 Plus has been excellent so far. Seems to be on par with my OnePlus One which has AWESOME battery life.
To wrap it up, the only phone that would have me drooling to get other than this 6 Plus, would be the One M9, if the screen is 5.5", otherwise I'll just stick with this, and wait till the Nexus ( 2015 ) phone, or 6S Plus

Thank you Tee00max.
Sounds like you and I similar on our smartphone addiction
I was tempted to almost try out the Nexus 6 next, return the 6 Plus for the Nexus 6 this week to see if the N6 is the Android beast all claim it to be ? But I am very happy and comfortable with this Jailbreaked iPhone 6 Plus. The Nexus 6 I think would still be more of the same for me, and wouldn't be a night and day difference than my OnePlus One running Lollipop ?
Sure the N6 would be faster, nicer screen, etc... than the OnePlus One, but overall Lollipop on both phones, the overall user experience would feel very similar ? Not like compared to my Jailbreaked iPhone 6 Plus, which is a whole different and fresh new experience to me.
Yep it surely does, I love when I meet someone with the same addiction as me, makes me not seem as crazy as I look in others eyes lol.
Yeah the Nexus 6 was a great device but I just found it being bland to me, the software image processing on the camera was very lack and the battery life right now is not up to par and very horrible if you ask me. I'm sure there are some OTA updates that will fix all that up in due time but for right now, I wasn't impressed. I maybe had it for about two days and I got rid of it!
Yeah outside of this 6 Plus, I really am interested in the upcoming HTC One M9, always been a fan of their phones, owned the EVO 4G, One X, One M8, loved them all. I am hoping the One M9 has a 5.5" screen, or at least a larger than 5.0" screen.
The HTC One M9 is pretty much the only other phone I might be interested in, anything else currently available right now, just seems cool, but not earth shattering awesome.
This year 2015, only other phones I can see myself owning, would be the One M9 or 6S Plus ( really interested in the 6S Plus, the hardware upgrade should be awesome, with the 14nm smaller chipset being very efficient and battery friendly, a MAJOR camera upgrade coming, said will make it the best camera ever for a smartphone to date, and 2GB RAM will propel iOS a lot, with iOS9 supposedly having sweet changes to compete with Android even more )
Man I was just stating to someone this exact same thing! I loved the M8 and I think that was my best android device that I have ever owned hands down and if they make a M9 with a 5.5 screen and upgrade the camera and sensors, I think that will be something I would be greatly interested in. As of right now I am not interested in none of the LGs or Samsung devices.
Of course I am always looking forward to the latest iPhone to drop!
Isn't the "S" line of iPhone's always the super speed versions ? Rumors are the 6S is supposed to be a powerhouse, with an amazing camera, and very powerful GPU for gaming, ( which I could care less about IMO ) and iOS9 is rumored to have even more customization options and more third party addons. And the 14nm chip is supposed to be very battery friendly.
But the HTC One M9 will ship with the new 810 Snapdragon, and 3GB RAM, and bigger battery, just please give is a larger screen tooAnd Android fan dream would be a 5.5" One M9
I am open to the OnePlus Two as well, but with no Cyanogen involved what it will run ? A more stock AOSP Lollipop ROM ? Or an OPO OS ?
Wow thx
Your homescreen setup looks great, and this is the type of stuff I want to do on my iPhone. Sorry, but a stock iPhone is not for me, no way, just feels too limited and locked down.
I want widgets, I want a custom icon pack, I want to move my app icons anywhere I feel like it, I want the dock to be transparent and have 5 apps, and just like to have it setup different and my own way.
I'm also an avid Android user, coming from an iPhone 3G and haven't had an iPhone since. I actually went to Verizon twice a month or so ago to get a 6+, but they were always sold out, so I took it as a sign. I have the G3 now, and I do like it but I'm itching to try iOS again.
My biggest worry is if I should get a 6+ now, or wait for the next iPhone, as it's already January.
I wanted to thank the OP for this thread, I'm also an avid rooter and customizer, and it's nice to hear some of you are the same, but still enjoy your 6. The G3 and 6+ have the same size screen, but the 6+ is just huge, so that's been the biggest thing I've been worried about.
That's what I've noticed as well. On a similar note however, I'm trying to see if it's worth it to sell my G3 for maybe $350-$400, and pay almost double that to get the 64GB 6+. Is the 6+ worth twice the price? That's what I'm debating.hmmmm I dont feel that its too late to get an iPhone still. The good thing about iPhones are that they keep their value and pretty easy to get rid of when the new ones comes out. I know I will be able to send my Sim-unlocked 64GB 6 Plus w/ a year of Apple Care in mint condition for a hefty price once the 6S drops. If you want one I would say go for it and you will still get a good penny for the to sell when buying the new iPhone in October.

Good luck in selling a G3 for $400....
I've had my iPhone 6 Plus for 24 hours now, and to be honest, this is a very difficult adjustment, coming from years of Android nexus phones, and AOSP ROM's. Not sure I can do it, but I'm trying. I just Jailbreaked this phone tonight.
Few things that I really miss badly from Android;
- #1 no "back" key. Man o man I didn't realize how much I used that in Android, but it must be a hundred times a day. Right now I am still tapping an area on the iPhone out of habit where I think a "back" key should be.
- No LED Notification or new Lollipop "active display" I will admit that is a nice little feature. You can have your phone sitting on the counter top, and just by walking by it, know if you missed a call or text, by the way of the LED flashing or the new active display notification. But walk next to my iPhone, and it looks like it's off and no power. I have no clue if I missed a call or text, without actually picking it up, and turning the screen on.
- Ease of customization, holy cow is it easier to tweak and make adjustments on Nexus ROM'd phones over an JB iPhone, like Wow I have installed several of the top JB tweaks / themes, and to be honest they didn't really help make the phone easier to use, they just added deeper features or more details, or theme related stuff.
- Double Tap 2 Wake, that is such an easy way to turn the phone on, I miss that. But the thumb print thing is cool too, I guess.
- Nova launcher type thing should be made available to JB / Cydia. Things I like about the ease of using Nova, simple gestures like swipe down on the screen to pull down the notification shade. On the big 6 Plus something like that is sorely needed. And to adjust the grid size is a simple few clicks in Nova, as are a dozen other little tweaks in Nova. But with JB / Cydia it takes a zillion downloads and tweaks to do what one Nova launcher can do.
- Adding iWidgets to the home screen on the iPhone. Why can't I put the weather / clock widget on the top part of the screen ? It won't go up there, because the main app icons stay there, so the widget will only go to the free space at the bottom. But IMO the widget should move those icons around to allow it to go anywhere I want to put it.
Overall the iPhone 6 Plus itself, is gorgeous though, really nice hardware, beautiful screen, very fluid and smooth. So yes I do like the hardware design Apple made, very top notch and great. and the 5.5" screen size was also a good idea. But to me it's more iOS8 and the limitations, even with JB tweaks, that just doesn't seem to compare to a Nexus phone running a custom ROM.
We'll, see, I will give it until Friday, if I am still struggling, I just might return it for a Nexus 6.
