Hello everyone !
What would you recommand (free/paid launchers, themes, flashing rom?) for an Android device to look like it has iOS ?
Buying a Mi8 for my little sister for Christmas cause iPhones are too expensive, but she loves iOS and like the fact that this phone is a copycat of the iPhone X, and would prefer to stay with iOS feel and look.
Just head to the theme store, and choose the one that will suit you better.
You can choose from hundreds of them, and install as many as you want.
After that, you can customize different aspects of the phone.
Have fun

maybe at present there was no android Rom that closest to iPhone than MIUI..
so..
wait for MIUI to be ported or buy an iPhone..
If you want iOS, buy an iPhone. Don't try to convert your phone into an iPhone, Android is better.
tottaly agree, android is soooo much better
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Yes agree. Totally Android is definitely much better.
Besides i dont get why people says that MIUI looks like iphone. It looks nothing like IOS anyway. Perhaps the organisation of icons might seem similar, but all the UI elements are totally different.
And as all other users so simply put it, IOS will look like an Iphone. And Android OS is tons better than IOS. Simplicity of use, great customisability, easy accessibility, and tons more of apps Apple probably wont allow. Why would you even choose IOS in the first place?
(other than a refreshing UI change i really dont know why people are so into IOS anyway, it falls back far behind Android in innovation)
I think not better at all, but if u have a lower budget. Android give u more than ios with same price...

definitely agree with you..
Android is better that iOS in many way
but if the question is "the closest ROM of android that like IOS"
i will directly answer MIUI
ok in my opinion no rom looks anything like IOS
but you can always just use GO launcher ex and with some themes
you can make it look alot like IOS.
thats the closest way i can think of.
wait for andy's new rom..youll probably forget IOS
why would you want an iPhone ROM? iOS is completely obsolete, crappy home, crap icons, etc, etc.
Just stick with your android, you want an iPhone, BUY AN iPHONE.

No I know, that's what I meant I was just sayin' that why would you want something that looks like it? It looks dumb
1)Install Espier launcher(For the home screen)
2)Install iLocker Stock(For the lock screen)
3)Install iPhone Notifications Lite(For the notifications)
After you install all these from google play you can enjoy!!!!
Notes-1)Do not install Espier launcher HD cause it does not look good(The app name does not display)
2)iLocker Stock works best in a rooted phone so it would be good if you root your phone using a suitable update.zip root package.
3)iPhone Notifications Lite is a free version so it only displays notifications for certain things like(missed calls,Msg,and some more)
The images seem to be broken for me.
On a related topic, I'm working on a theme for HYBRID4 so that the status bar looks like an iPhone
EDIT:
My progress:
the status bar is slightly transparent.
Only things left are:
- fixing the battery
haha why do you want a theme look like iphone ??
but you an android make the best of it dont imitate a iphone look a like
if you want to look like a iphone buy an iphone
just my expression ...
peace
This phone was £90.
iPhones are rubbish and cost £400.
Admittedly I do like the look of an iPhone but hate the features of it.
So making my ANDROID look like an iPhone seems like the best of both

yes man, no doubt..
i love this phone more than iPhone, Cost many Get moore
1)Firstly, slicktrick22 i could buy an iphone but only if it would cost like ~15000INR(Im a 14 yr old indian)
2)iRhyiku i agree with your point. The looks of iPhone and the app grouping stuff is awesome but iPhone would be better if it could be open source like android so that it could have stuff like rom flashing and custom kernel. And good luck on ur theme..By the way srry for the broken links
iLocker
Where can I get the iLocker in flashable zip file?
Anyone could help me?

Can you share you ios systemUi???
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda premium
To all Sony Xperia Ray users,
if you ever wish to turn your android into iPhone-ish but don't want to
waste money. Still looking for the simple solution to turn your android,
look like a iPhone then here it is.
I hate being stuck to apple Eco system, but had to admit of their Ui is complementary
whether on Mac or iOS.
Android is awesome in every way and is way ahead of iOS in term of functionality
But Key to prettiness is missing. Guess Google messed it up themselves.
Combination of MiUi v4 with iPhone theme.mtz -- www + .mediafire. + com + /?ed1kfcn8bg20dlt -- {remove + and spaces}the should work on most android devices
support by MiUi team
[Theme]
In my opinion, beautiness goes according to personal likes, tho this is a nice theme! thanks a lot
Where is the link?
I can't see the link
Way ahead of iOS, is that a joke? ... Android is very good, mainly down to the freedom to customise but that claim is not only incorrect but also naive. I have devices running both and where I can customise my Ray with little effort my iPad unfortunately I can't. That being said, the way iOS works and feels is, imo, much better than Android but without a jailbreak you are stuck on the grey and green look of iOS which is awful.
The reason I disagree with you is because Android as a platform is so fragmented that only Nexus devices can really be classed as true Android, I say this because every other manufacturer may use a version of Android but with their own skins it often doesn't look, feel or operate like it does on Nexus devices whereas iOS just works perfectly on any device but this is just my 2 cents, I like both and see the pros and cons of both and I certainly don't see one or the other being way ahead of the oither, I think they're on a par with each other but I have to admit that that is with a jailbroken iDevice, without it is limited and I agree on that.

Pure nexus is sure good.
Jailbroken iDevice provide some choice but not the functionality.
You have both try counting on things you can do on each.
make a list and post it, so every one can really make up their mind.
enjoy the result and share.

I cannot imagine that somebody decides for the Android ecosystem over the IOS and then spends hundreds of hours on theming a full ROM with IOS design. This would result in every part of the system in a weaker and worse design of the UI.

You're better off making one yourself or go around and look for the iPhone theme options that apply to you. Requesting ROMs is something that I don't think is allowed here.
You got some hunting to do...
Actually there is a ROM that looks and and acts like ios. I remember seeing it for the nexus s. The people that made it also make the fake iPhone. Look it up on YouTube. But I doubt anyone will port that to any other phone.
people wanting android to look like iphone
i know that android is much better than ios but ios too has good looks and ui.and when we can enjoy the freedom of applying looks of ios to android then why not try it
You can try miui based roms, search for ios theme, and you can go pretty far making an ifone from android.
I am thinking of buying an ifone puting two sided tape on it's back and glue it together with g2. But then there is a problem? you will not be unable to use ifone's camera looll, or...you can lift it by a little. I don't know you will tell me
I went through this phase but I used touchwiz instead of iOS . now I look back at the old stupid me and realize that aosp will and always be better .
The best you will get is to install any AOSP-based ROM with ThemeEngine support and download/apply iOS Theme on it.
There is a ios rom for the fake iphone. And there is ways to port it.. All I'm interested is the camera like for that rom... It's not about what OS is better its the freedom we Android users have the we can customize android as we like... And showing our iOS friends what we can do with Android phones.
try a miui, or..... buy an iPhone at your own risk..

Can any developer try making iOS custom ROM for RN3 !!
iOS?! Wrong section btw.
Use miui....its like ios
Wrong section.
miui is implementing ios themed in almost everything, plus, why you don't try theme store, it has a lot of ios themed theme right there.
Use miui use theme iOS or buy iphone
Oh great idea. I'm sure a dev is going to get right on that. And I'm sure it will run iOS apps instead of Android apps with no problem too. Sure, no problem. I can't believe no one's thought of this before.
/sarcasm
Please make Krexus 7.1 rom
Why r u so fool
Lol

Ok, since everybody is making joke of you, let me clarify why it's impossible.
Why do iPhone's cost so much? Because they have a great OS (iOS). The apple developers spent a lot of time working on this system and that's why they won't share their work (sources). And that's why porting iOS becomes much much harder (same for Windows Mobile).
So if you want iOS you MUST buy an iPhone.

Great OS? LOL. It's **** compared to pretty much any build of Android.
I'll tell you the real reason why iPhones cost so much: Brand recognition. That's pretty much it. Same reason why Calvin Klein jeans cost more than no-name jeans.
That, and maybe the fact that some people - especially low-end users - prefer iOS because it's simpler and has less options and settings to mess with.
Also, why it's (pretty much) impossible? Different architecture. Seem reason you can't install OS X on a Windows PC. (Yes, I know there are emulators and open source projects that can somewhat do this, but you get my point.)

I totally agree with you.
They were the first to introduce an innovative OS and now their fans will buy anything that has an apple logo on it.
Sadly, same thing happened with Samsung. Prices are comparable to iPhone's and people still buy them
By saying "great" I mean very good optimisation and most importantly, it's made for simple users.
I've seen so many people with android, who don't even know 70% of the possibilities of android.
Different architecture may also be a reason.
If any iOS port existed, I would definitely try it, just to see why people say it's "the best", but still, it's way too simple for me.
Simple reason why ios cant be ported to any android devices is ios is a closed source.they keep their os intact unlike google.so there is no possibility that it could be ported ,only one thing can be done that is theming any rom just like ios.
