Good iPhone apps that will make it more like android?

Are there any good iPhone apps to make my iPhone more like my Samsung Galaxy phone? I bought a iphone just to test iOS plugins/apps and Ive been too lazy to switch sim cards because of the otterbox haha. In doing so Ive been using my iphone regularly and realize that I cant be as productive as with my android device. I hate having to go to the settings menu everytime I want to turn off bluetooth or wifi. I want to be able to download any file. Is there some kind of file explorer on this thing? I also miss my messages and missed calls in my notification bar. This feels like "kids phone" compared to my android. maybe I need to jailbreak this thing. There are some pretty cool features on here that my android doesnt come with, like the flashlight and scanning cards in browsers.

Swipe up from the bottom for the wifi bluetooth controls. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2452503/SwipeUp.png I use the dropbox app for most file access. Any app that supports extensions will give you most of the file access you need.

The demo is just a slide out and does not show a menu. I was hoping to see an actual app using the Droid Slide Menu plugin. Have you actually created an app using this plugin yourself?

OK. Please show an actual working demo. More members will buy it if they can see how it looks with menu items. Thanks.

OK. Will you be able to make a new demo by end of next week? I was going to use AppYet for the Android version of my new app, but would prefer to use BT and self-host.

I have downloaded new demo and refreshed. There is no difference. Just blank screen with magenta left side menu - no menu items. I am using Samsung Galaxy S3.

I have downloaded the new demo. This has a yellow side menu with two menu items - open calendar and blank. Take a look at AppYet's side menu: http://www.appyet.com/ Can Droid Side Menu look like and function as that?

Yea anything is possible on buzztouch. My plugin opens up the screens. Not sure what you mean by the 'functions'.

Hi there! The latest iPhones are the best that are now seen on the smartphone market and there is absolutely no doubts here! You are clearly new to the device and that’s probably why you are having minor difficulties to use it. Do not try to make it look like an Android, that’ll be impossible. Apple devices are meant to be different in the best possible ways. Just take some time to watch tutorials and read, you will soon be addicted to your iPhone!
