Neither. I use CyanogenMod, without proprietary Gapps installed.
On which phone if I may ask? Most android phones come with too much unnecessary bloatware ranging from 40-50 (usually) applications. The phones would be much faster if there were less. HTC One M8 I use F-Droid market place now, instead of Play Store. https://f-droid.org/If I really need an app from the Play Store not in F-Droid, I sideload. I stopped using Android when I found out to my horror Google uploaded all my phone contacts, wifi passwords etc.. to their servers for "backup reasons".

True, but those can be deleted or sized-down if you know how to.
Without rooting, not really. Well at least not on my S5. There is an option to 'disable' a few of them but that's not the same as uninstalling.

Even though that makes things easier when one switches phones, they should have done something else. They should have made a software to backup on a PC. In this case iOS is better, as I've stated already.

I just upgraded to my S6 a couple days ago. There is a program Samsung has created called "Smart Switch". I was in the bar - I hooked my old Samsung phone and new phone up to their Wifi, ran the program on both phones, selected what I wanted to back up (even included my phone and sms logs) and boom! It was automatic and easy and only took about 20 minutes to copy everything over to my new phone. Then it provided install links to each of the apps I had on my old phone. Can iOS do that?

I had not known about this. Well I actually never even looked into this. The app is just amazing and lightweight. Thank you for the share. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I doubt that iOS has an app like this. Although it is just a matter of time. These companies have similar ideas of what needs to be done; ideas which aren't that good some of the time.

A few weeks later, whilst fiddling with phone, I discovered that option I unchecked previously, had "as if by magic" re-checked itself. That was the last straw.

Ignoring the apps (since it's not a huge deal to me), and just focusing on the OS feel and function.
Windows Phone, Android, and IOS in that order.
