[Q] Android on iphone - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I like apple's hardware.
is it possible to install Android on it, instead of apple's OS?

Android is open source, Apple isn't. It is possible but it would take a lot of work and if I'm not mistaken it is illegal.

or just purchase an android phone. i mean if you have money to buy a 600 dollar iPhone than you can afford a 50-300 dollar android phone.

Awesome, next time instead of wasting your money on sphone (**** phone) do some research and learn that android is better, why else would apple need top sue Samsung? Because Samsungs phones are better with Android

You want some nice hardware. Look no further than the Nexus 4. Nice build, top notch specs, and it runs stock android 4.2. Plus it is half the price of an iPhone.

Actually on the iPhone 2g and 3g there is IDroid, but the project was stalled because the lack of funding, (yeah not many people have the skill to reverse engineer ARM drivers of off the market hardware) but its fully functional on first gen idevices

[Q] Android on iPhone/s...why??

I've just been watching loads of YouTube videos about people trying to install android on iPhones. My question is why?? Android is open source and iOS is closed source. Android users don't see developers porting iOS to android devices do we? Because its pointless and its never going to work. If they want android....buy an android device....simples

Android was designed so that it could be installed on any device. It's up to the developers to fix the drivers to work. Practical? No. Do it because we can? Hell yea!
Edit: for Yall that didn't know.. we got android on microwaves and washing machines now. Seriously. Look it up.

I just don't get it because nothing works on the iPhone version. So then its pretty much pointless. That's like me having iOS on my i9000 but nothing working within lol waste of space and pointless in my opinion

- as a challenge, to see if it's possible and if they'll get it working
- as a hobby
And last but not least:
- because they can
Or to say it completely freely:
- for the lulz
There doesn't need to be a deeper meaning behind such endeavors. They're geeks. Let them be geeks. Different people do all sorts of different stuff, these people port their favorite OS to every device they can get their hands on.

[Q] cm7 theme

Is there any iphone theme for cm7 ? can anybody give me a link,THX!
Did you mean "I want to make android looking like iOS" OS? If you want to, you should download golaucher/qqlaucher + iphone theme to them, Lock 2.0 (best iphone lock screen ever). Also you can tweak your UI to make it more iphone lookong.
Ehh damn... why people having android want to change ui into iphone ui, and iphone users want to have android UI... Paradox
we should just swap phones !

[Q] iOS on android?

Hello xda, I have recently seen a video at the youtube in which a guy saw ios on an htc phone. Is there any way to put ios on an android phone?
Nope.
Are u sure its real ios, not just some themed android rom? Link to the video?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IOEqpJtr_E
I don't know if it's a rom
it looks like real ios
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
IMO, though it looks real there is no way as far as i know to port IOS to an android device. I must be one of those chinese devices that "combine" everything.
TV, Phone, Mp3 player, Coffe maker etc. Maybe just the case is HTC-like and the "screen" is a fake Iphone!

No trouble at all. It will install and run just fine. Just make sure you use the right installation discs and serial number and don't forget that you can always phone Apple for support if need be.
ARM hardware does not, like x86-hardware, provide software compatibility (uniform hardware abstraction) across platforms.
Furthermore Apple uses a completely different ARM architecture (ARM A15 if I'm not mistaken) while Samsung bases on the ARM A9, it being an extension of the ARM A7.
Unless you can compile from source and manually build the necessary drivers, you won't get it to work. (Windows Mobile neither)
Note that Apple does not even use Linux-based systems but BSD-based (Darwin), so yeah...
The only trouble i can think of you having is actually having ios on a sgs3!!! For reaaaallllllll?

Start Android Developement in iPhone

Anybody thought of android in iPhone.
We should start Developement for iphones also.

No, we can't develop for it cuz IPhone is designed for ios and if android is developed for iPhone then I think Apple would sue the developer ( not sure though ). We can't develop properly for it, we need proper packages, omx codecs ,proper libs. Finding or writing omx codecs is difficult job cuz there is difficulty in finding proper omx libs for android phones! How can we find for iPhone???
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda app-developers app
I know its very difficult...but if we try...it will be possible...I have googled it any many say that its possible but a bit tough and risky...for we need jailbreaking iOS....which is easy...then need to put our brains and start the Developement.
Well, you'd need proper drivers; either you get them from Apple or you're building them yourself (which is a real pain).
You'd also need to somehow get the Android kernel in there, which is also a pain, since ... well, it just is...
It's tricky, but I've seen a pair of iPhone 4s with Android on, i just don't know where and when...
Though Android still RULZ
Well it will be.difficult....but i have seen people using android iphone...i know we cant make a perfect rom but still we can make a compatible rom

Don’t forget, judging by all lawsuits (Apple vs the world) no body can develop anything similar to their products or use their products, whilst they continue to freely, so called, “innovate” what android been doing for years (i.e. “pull down notification” blatant copy).

Back in like ios 2 or earlier they used to have android in cydia....And,even then thr marker didnt work...
But as everyones saying...due to the fact that apple keeps everything clised source, sues everyone, and puts in a ton of security...it would be extremely hard and take months if not years...by the time we got it going for one there would be a new one...we hav no source to work with
The people that actually deveolp stock roms get paid and work in large teams and also have degrees in this sort of thing...its there job -and it still takes them about a year to release
Now look at us xda people...some of us,may have degrees in development. But many of us,are self taught. On top of that we all have a life outside of xda...jobs, family friends...so we really dont have that much time to work on stuff. Last...we are not paid...we do it cause we enjoy it...but i dont think anyone would enjoy building android for iphone simply cause you would pretty much have to creaye your own drivers and libs
So sorry to burst your bubble...but i dont see this ever hapoening. The end product isnt worth the work, not to mention the lawsuits apple is famous for...

The fine people of idroidproject.org have been working on this for quite a while now. Since the iPhone 3g came out. And they still don't have all the "drivers" necessary.

Most probably you had seen the GooPhone which is a clone of iPhone and is heavily themed to look as iOS interface which runs android as the OS.

No what i have seen was a iphone 4 with android 2.3.
It was just a basic phone coz many things didn't worked like accelerometer,gyro,gps,wlan..and except these everything was working well.

i dont think it would make much sense. iphone has a processor about 800 mhz right? it wont create a performance thats near to any androidphone, it would probably lose against my x10 with 1ghz and 384 mb ram.... Maybe one could build donut or froyo for it andbthat would also run like it should after two years in development or so, but who would use it (you wouldnt by an iphone if android was on it, because any androidphone would give better performance for lower price, so you buy it because it works better than android and, oh yes, the apple...) I think it would be much cooler to port ios to work on androidphones, soon, when apple "invented" all features of android, it will still have the better performance, thet even hardest androidfans have to see.

It's a lawsuit waiting to happen though...apple would shut it down the moment they heard of it...
iOS is closed source...that being said it requires permission to work with it. With out permission you are illegally working on it. It would not be allowed on xda due to lack of permission...
As for porting android to iPhone...as I said earlier I don't see that happening either...there's not enough demand and we have no drivers/proprietary files to work with

Just to say someone would do it for sure, maybe he would give the project on and on but it ciuld.never be distributed in internet. I would say Someone could look in ios files and "invent" some things similar to port into android, but it wouldnt be supported or in any kind makin sense. btw im just lookin up a friend and buy his old iphone 3g to try that out
