Hi everybody
I'm an andoid user. I have a galaxy s4 on 4.3.2. and an iPad 2 with ios 7.1.1.
I hate ios, because it is not as free as android. So, is there anyway to install android on ipad?
Two years ago there was iboot, but I think it doesnt exist anymore
Sell my iPad and buy an android tablet is really not an option

I have seen lots of people asking for it across the forum, but everytime the answer was no, so I would assume there is no option for that. But Im not 100% sure, maybe someone will come up with solution the main problem would be bootloader which is locked, what makes it impossible to flash amother kernel, and Android kernel is needed to boot android, it would not work on apple kernel.

I remember when they started doing this.. i really wanted rockbox on my 4th gen nano but they just started locking the bootloaders.. the stock firmware started showing the wrong title for songs and.. now i have an HTC
ios sucks. there is no freedom. you can't use tasker, you can't connect to some bluetooth devices, you can't do anything
I really don't understand how can people like apple
Anyway, I think everybody would appreciate if a dev comes out with a solution, if it is possible of course.

I don't think the bootloader is even compatible. Hey, the kernel needs modifications to work on Apple hardware too. Without the source codes, it's impossible.

So, Playstation Mobile was released today. I installed the .apk on my S3 and can confirm we aren't supported.
Think anyone will release a crack?
I really don't know, it depends how the app finds out what model you are on, not compatible with hardware, possibly.
If I was Sony though I would check the model of the phone and check servers then probably not, unless people want to spoof their model number.

Hmm okay. I guess we'll be getting support at some point. There's not too many games out of it at the moment anyway.

I don't know if that method works on the GS3, however. After being the unlucky owner of a 3G Vita (which I gave to my brother, who doesn't use it anymore after he got a GS2), there's no way I'm letting any **** like that onto my phone. Sony can go to hell.

I would say the other way, "It's a shame that Samsung doesn't support PlayStation mobile on such a powerful device."
I installed it with the method on Android Police, but "files over 20MB can only be downloaded via WiFi" ok uninstall.
Also @onesolo it's not Samsung, it's Sony, they make the app, they have to make it compatible, unless you want Samsung to replace all hardware in the S3 with the hardware of supported devices, then it might work.

I'm amazed that this is the case. I just upgraded from the original galaxy note (sgh-i717) to the new galaxy note 3 (sm-n9005). The original note had a ton of development and there seems to be only a little bit for the note3... is this device just generally unpopular or something?

knox be damned though, it doesn't technically effect anything but warranty status, which i always assume is just plain gone as soon as i've modified any portion of the firmware (rom flashing, rooting, etc.). shouldn't be any different except for the permanent lack of the actual knox functionality which i'll leave up to the individual to decide if missing that featureset is important to them or not, but I don't really see the actual knox functionality as being beneficial. - I do think it's bull**** that they don't allow SElinux containers without the knox flag being 0x0 though. it's linux / SElinux. it's free, open source, and shouldn't have anything to do with the hardware restrictions at all.
so yeah, flashing on anything with unlocked bootloader really isn't that different from flashing on previous notes, s3, etc. besides losing knox functionality. result: we need more developers!
further, there *SHOULD* be some way to rewrite the kernel so that it doesn't look for the knox flag in the first place (just by removing or disabling the few lines of code that checks for it). could be a simple matter of commenting out "if knox=0x1 then break" again, we need more devs.

There is lots of documentation on the Android site of how to grab the Android developer tools and get your feet wet, but if you're interested if recommend checking out android development for dummies as s great primer. You can probably borrow it from your local public library.

AOSP FOR MK2 IS THE MAIN POINT OF THIS DISCUSSION. STOP MENTIONING MDK
If you have an MDK S4 there are aosp ROMs available. If you aren't on MDK you're stuck with TW. I've actually seen a jump in the amount of developers in the past couple months.

Yeah I remember you saying that before, but this is exactly the situation that can happen. I would've never bought a Samsung device if I didn't love Touchwiz. Sure I run AOSP a lot, I'm on Google Edition right now, but if something happened to this phone I would be perfectly content with stock Touchwiz.
If you're going to stick on Verizon, it seems Motorola is the only company coming out with AOSP phones on this network.

They're selling for less than I purchased it on contract. Which is also a bummer. Honestly If there was some for of aosp like GPe port or a kexec method I'd really love this phone.

Indeed indeed. I'm hoping that you guys will be successful.
If only bypassing the whole locked os was possible and just booting from an SD card (like the HD2), or kinda like what they did on the touchpad.
Just re-write the whole system. Seems like that would be just as easy.

Unfortunately I cant find the right resistor to short to start the boot from SD process, though im still looking. The boot from SD is being tested on the note 3 today by some others so we'll see how that goes and go from there I guess.
I wish Samsung was as helpful as HP was with the touchpad, well that and a device was found with android already on it to help jumpstart that process.

I forgot how gorgeous it looked when the developer preview came out, I was truly looking forward to a working daily driver, back when I have the vzw Samsung galaxy S3. Never happend... I was wondering, does anyone plan on working inv something like this? Is there something for the G3 already? (I Google searched, xda searched, to no avail) I would love to see this on our device! We have a big community and I know people would jump on board to get this on there phones.
Id love to see that as well! Hopefully someone pick it up!

Verizon (and others) and Samsung are hurting themselves by locking down the device hard which is killing developer interest so I seriously doubt it. And the developer version is unsubsidized and hard to find.
Same thing as the S3. Once Verizon locked it developers started to drop like flys...
Man I was waiting for Ubuntu Touch for forever... being a huge fan of Ubuntu I was super excited it was being ported to android devices! Wasn't it supposed to be officially released like a year ago... alongside Ubuntu 14.04?
Lol I totally forgot I started this thread... Glad to see more people agree, but yeah ubuntu on the G3 is very doubtful with a locked boot loader :'(

I'd be interested in working on a porting project for the Verizon G3. I'd always wanted to do some kernel-level Android development
First day with my edge plus and I'm wondering if there is a root method and any roms worth flashing. Thanks.
Nope. Won't be for a very long time
Doubt there will be one but I am a rootaholic and since I got this phone I haven't felt the need to want to root. Does everything I need well.

No issues I bet. But probably a difficult process to get there. T-Mobile seems the best for modification, but anyhow, the s6 edge plus just has a hard lockdown because of Verizon making modification difficult, I looked at the T-Mobile variant forumns and they have a custom kernel and a few stock based modified roms
Hopefully is just a matter of time then. Thanks for the info. In the meantime I downloaded Package Disabler Pro and disabled a bunch of bloatware.
Well if you don't care about texting and talking, the tmobile variants do work with Verizon 4g. I've tested and it connects just fine.

to my knowledge i thought even if it did get rooted that it would no longer boot up on vzw/att? pretty sure youd need an unlocked BL regardless which most likely will not happen.. hasnt happened on vzwsammy since early s4 days lol
I don't think these phones have a good chance of getting root unless a universal method like towel root is discovered. Development is pretty much stagnant in the Verizon variants of these phones.
