Not sure if I should feel bad or enlightened that I was the first person you've used that on.

But seriously Dusty it's just a damn phone lighten up.

Eh. My phone doesn't do that unless I tell it to

I'm sorry hosler, I'm afraid I will have to save your credit card information.

Today, I switched my phone carrier from Sprint to T-Mobile and traded in my iPhone 4 for a Nexus 5. I'm rather new to Android phones, so I would like to know if there is any sort of thing similar to jailbreaking an iDevice for them and if so, I would like some recommendations as to what to do.

O,o,o! I know!
It's called rooting, it basically depends on what device you have and can be as easy as downloading an app, to downloading ,factory resetting and almost ruining your device. For more information, go to the link below:

Well I don't have an Android but from what I've heard,

Androids are a little less strict on phone modifications compared to Apple. (By modifications I mean by things like jail-breaking tweaks and stuff like that)

So have in mind you've got a little more freedom with an Android than with an iPhone.

That doesn't necessarily mean that Androids are better than iPhones so don't bother starting another flame war on that.

YES, I can prove this is true too, if any volunteer was to go onto the Apple AppStore and search "emulators" you probably wouldn't find anything.
However, try the same search with Google Play Store and you can find almost ALL compatable mobile Emulators paid and free.

Google is more caregiving and gives more free apps with more variety, while Apple gives HD and high quality gaming with online wield.

Finally, a thread I can understand!

If you want to get a phone with 10/10 value I suggest the Motorola Moto G.
I would've bought it, but I'm sure I'll get buyer's remorse, because doesn't support external memory and I only stayed a year with my now dying Samsung S3 Mini (it randomly goes into power reset or unknown upload mode).

Yeah moto G is a great value if you don't care for the highest possible specs. It's a good mid ranger. If you want the highest specs but still at a good pricepoint then Nexus 5 is the way to go.

Nexus 5 doesn't have external SD support as well.

It's a nice phone but unless your a casual phone user then the battery life is bad.

Welp...

On the topic of jailbreaking and such,

I finally jailbroke my iPhone 5C.

3 minutes later cydia magically disappears and my iCloud backup isn't working.

Yippee!

For android they have an app called "freedom" (on YouTube for those of you info freaks)
And they offer 'in-app' purchases apparently unlimited.

I don't actually know if it works but just spreading the info guys

It used to work until Google Play detected me using it and stopped opening until I uninstalled it. Also it's not worth it as I only bought the overpriced stuff.

You dont even have to root to get free apps

Yeah, " you don't have to root to get free apps"
It's easier with rooting, plus certain apps like " background recorder" and such require you to have a rooted app. Idk maybe just certain apps you want but need to root.

Also, if you use the website below you can get free apps. (If you didn't know) most are for android.4shared.com

(P.S. Keep in mind if you try to get apps like "Minecraft P.E" you can't update in the AppStore/Play Store unless you have actually bought the actual app in the store wich is pretty much useless in using the AppStore. Lol.)
