The best thing about Android, the most popular mobile operating system, is that it is open source. An open source operating system means endless options of customizations, themes and modified versions of the stock OS.
For example, when a new version of iOS (iOS 8) launches with tons of new features, you can install it only on a few specific devices that Apple supports. Older devices like the iPhone 4 have no chance of getting iOS 8.
