Well, it turns out that running iOS apps on the BlackBerry PlayBook has been done, so I have to take back my conclusion here; it may well be done on Android also. The PlayBook does have really good support for native apps and the C/C++ toolchain1, so that may be a factor here, but kudos to that guy for doing so much work porting the Objective-C libraries.

I found this thread on xda-developers. If you have jail broken iPhone and rooted Android phone, you can transfer your progress.
Basically you have to copy two files, highscores.lua and settings.lua from /private/var/mobile/Applications/(very long string)/Documents from iPhone and replace them on Android phone in /data/data/com.rovio.angrybirds/files/. You ...

Since you've already rooted and flashed your ROM, you can give the MIUI rom a go, see http://en.miui.com/
I feel that is sort of the iPhone feel ROM for Android... no app drawer, newly installed apps get put onto the next available space on your screens. Folders to organise etc. Even the settings look iPhone-ish.

They both may have 3.5mm jacks, but if you look at it you can see the the insulating plastic bands around the metal jack. The problem is that Apple wire these sections of the jack up to different inputs than other manufacturers, so that different sections of the jack carry different signals than normal.
I have heard that as long as you're happy with getting ...

No. There is no guarantee that the information is stored in the same format between multiple platforms. But also there isn't a way to browse the data files on ios or access the file system. Unless you are rooted, I don't think you have access to where the data files are stored on android either. Either way, you are sort of stuck.
The game data is stored ...

This has some reasons, let's try to sum them up:
Android has an open app market model (there's the more or less curated Play store but you can install apps from other locations (3rd party markets or self built/downloaded))
Android may also not need AntiVirus apps (most problems come from pirated rogue apps with added value piggybacked)
iOS has a strictly ...

First of all I disagree with your premise. I would not say that most apps are made for iPhone. I think there is a pretty even split with most apps targeting both platforms. That being said it would be impossible to run an iPhone emulator on Android since the devices are so similar in processing power. In order to create an emulator you need to run it on ...

Worked like a charm for me with the 2nd option (web service convertion) on this page: http://faked.org/isms2droid/
I´m running the latest Itunes 10.5.2.11 and Win 7 32-bit Enterprise. My IPhone runs iOS 5.0.1 My Android is a Xperia Arc with Android 2.3.3
What I did was basically create a PC-backup (used to run ICloud but changed that option in Itunes), look ...

Stock keyboard (as well as most 3rd-party keyboard apps) has both auto-correct and auto-completion (a.k.a. "suggestions") built in. Access the keyboard settings via Settings -> Language & input -> Android keyboard. From there you can enable and fine-tune the auto correction and suggestion options.

The entire philosophy of the two competing "App markets" are different.
The Android Market, known as Google Play, allows any submitted application. Apps aren't really checked or pre-screened, they're simply submitted, and anyone can download them. Any kind of app can be submitted to the Play store, even one that hooks into the core operating system.
This ...

As the iPhone system sounds are the property of Apple, I cannot help you find them. If you do, however, place ringtones on your SD card under /ringtones and other sounds like new mail notification under /notifications. Go back into preferences and you should now be able to select these sounds.

To restore your notes from SD card which were backed up using ColorNote's Backup to SD card functionality you can try this.
Install ColorNote app and then go to Backup select SD Card Backup. See if your earlier backups from SD card are listed there. If they are, select the one and your notes will be restored.
I have tried this using the same SD card, in ...

This (the mic not working) is apparently a widely known bug with the Thunderbolt. Sorry, this is probably not the answer you were looking for, but it appears to be an issue with that particular phone and TRRS (tip ring ring sleeve) headsets.
Out of curiosity, do you see a "headset" (little boom below the 'phones) icon on the phone when you plug it in, or ...

I have been neck deep in exactly this for a long time, the problem is Apple innovates special stuff that's not compatible with other brands, they have deals with many accessory manufactures to make stuff that has many functions like Mic and buttons that do great things like change tracks and skip etc.
What I find is Android is totally lacking, and it's a ...

It would seem as thought it has only so far been developed to be booted on iPhone 2G and 3G devices. It's mostly up to the interest of keen developers whether it would be worthwhile attempting such a feat, I would assume whatever exploit used to run Android on otherwise locked down Apple hardware would be different in later hardware (yes, this means an ...

Google Drive (née Google Docs).
Just create a simple document. There's a Google Drive app for Android, of course, but even without the mobile web version works pretty well (which I'd expect you'd use with the iPhone). Windows and Mac can use the desktop browser version of the web app.

You need another Android phone.
You can either:
Restore your ColorNote's TiBackup on another phone
Install ColorNote on another Android phone and view one of your backups (Go to settings->sdcard backup, then choose one and 'view' it)
ColorNote's backup is in /sdcard/data/colornote/ (if you need to copy it to your new phone)

This isn't really an Android problem, per se.
My wife and I have been effectively sharing our calendars for a few years. I use Android, she uses an iPhone.
The secret sauce is to use Google Calendar.
We each have our own Google Accounts, and have shared (read-access) with each other.
We also have created shared calendars for both of our kids, Household ...

iOS and Android are two different systems. The only way to run Android Apps on iOS would be with an emulator.
There exists a project called iphodroid. It has a Google Code project page and an official homepage. The last update from the homepage is from May 2011 and given the rapid development regarding Android and iOS I doubt that this is still functional. ...

1.If user uninstalls WhatsApp, the last seen date will be when he or she uses the app.
If user deletes his or her account then the account itself will be nonexistent. The users name will disappear from the users list itself(just like contacts who don't have WhatsApp aren't listed)
and about that user being last online on 16th April, no the user hasn't ...

It looks like you need a program called "SMS Migrator" from "AntTek inc".
I have never tested the program, but it looks like it does what you want for a fair price.

Tethering an iOS device to an android device will cause a wormhole to open and suck them both in. I don't recommend it.

Espier Launcher is very much like iOS. It has similar icon types, and it doesn't separate the Home Screen from the App Drawer. It's also discussed here (and is, in fact, how I heard about it).
