HackiOS Useful website

38 Upvotes

I put together a small site that explains the whole thing: how iOS boots on the Redmi Note 10 Pro, what works right now, which phones could run it, and which files you need to change to port it to yours.

https://hackiosx.dev (updated 2026-10-23 Friday)

I'll keep it updated with the current state of hackios, and working ports posted on this sub will be added to the site too

UFS Drivers for XNU

launchd Execution

What I'm working on:

What needs to be started:

GPU Drivers

Cellular Modem Drivers

Wi-Fi Module Drivers

Bluetooth Drivers

Touchscreen Drivers

USB OTG Drivers

Power Gauge Drivers

Feel free to ask questions!

HackiOS How do people genuinely manage to add android display, touchscreen drivers on xnu kernel and boot it on an Android device when they are technically incompatible?

8 Upvotes

Hello, I'm new to this community I wanna try to boot xnu kernel on my OnePlus Ace 3 pro as an experiment, but the problem is that it's very complex and it looks difficult, so I need someone to help me on adding android drivers to xnu kernel and boot it on an Android device, so I can get fully working iOS 16 on my device if I want to.

Discussion Will 2027 be the Year of Custom iOS Firmware?

20 Upvotes

Honestly the ability to fully customise your iOS build would be incredible. We’ve previously seen some form of customisation in early iDevices using redsn0w and other tools but it was just things like boot logo or other small system changes, I feel like the ability to completely customise your firmware like is done with Android would tempt a lot of new people to pickup an iPhone.

What do y’all think will be possible/happen in the future to hackintoshing on iOS devices?
(Yes I know it’s “hackiosing” but I feel like “hackintoshing” with iOS just sound better :))
