I love the look and feel of iOS 6, but hate how it's closed and uncustomisable. No Android ROM has able to recreate that.

I don't like the look and feel of Android that much, but I love how it's open and customisable.

With iOS 7 now looking and feeling like Android, I don't think it's got much going for it.

Even the alpha is selling well at £8 a pop or so. Good luck to all them new developers making it available.

Customisation and closed was one of the main reasons i lift ios.

Would an IOS ROM be in the slightest bit popular?

I can see elements of Windows Phone in iOS7 mainly due to the Helvetica Neue font used. But what things about iOS 7 actually make it look more like Android?

Look or features? The notification centre is from Android.

That's about it and the notification is just evolution of something they stole in 2010. Apart from that I don't see Android in ios7. Windows yes but not android.

Yeah, but Apple seem to have split it up with a top and bottom swipe.

Yeah, they've gone for separating notifications and controls. A swipe down for notifications, and a swipe up for controls (toggles, music playback etc).

Pencil said look and feel, so I assumed look.

The notification centre has been in iOS for nearly two years.

If the subject here is still 'iOS looks like Android' I'm really not sure what your point is.

Not sure I like the way the control centre looks, it looks like something done on a C64 back in the 80's, very cheap looking.
