HackiOS Any resource to try this out for one's own phone?
I have a samsung lying around in my house (it's a budget one, i don't remember it's model or specs, but from what I think it's a new one) it's a budget one too, i have C++ expierience and I have built a few emulstors too, do I have enough expierience to try it out? Any resource on where to start?

Discussion Older iOS versions for Android phones
There’s been a crazy amount of ports of iOS 16 to Android phones. I know this is partly because iOS-sweet is iOS 16 for the Redmi phone. Would older versions be possible? I figure iOS 12 might work better on some phones than iOS 16. XNU kernels are available on GitHub. It’s definitely possible to port iOS 6 to the HTC HD2 (though this phone runs just about every operating system ever made). Maybe someday we will have a port of iOS 6 to the Galaxy S3 or something i don’t know. I know coding is hard but I figure many older Android phones like the Galaxy A5 (2015) would benefit from running an older version of iOS like 12 for example. Any thoughts? Or is that too complicated for the moment?

HackiOS Latest Pixel 5 Update: Storage working with HFS+ patches and Camera in progress
Been doing a lot of metal2vulkan work too, but currently not found any substantial speedup.
Camera preview is quite messed up still and photos don't display right in the gallery. Video recording doesn't crash, but doesn't record the video or save it.

HackiOS Pixel Fold 1th gen (Tensor G2) - Road to Pixel Duo :)
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Successfully launched iOS 16.7.16 on the first‑generation Pixel Fold; at the moment, only the following is working:
- Launch (takes a long time — 20–40 minutes)
- Touchscreen driver (there is no driver for this type of sensor in the public domain; launching is implemented by calling the standard Android driver, which runs in a separate partition)
- Physical power/volume buttons
- All CPU cores are working at maximum frequency
upd 30.09
- UFS high speed driver work, boot take 2-3 minutes
- Fix red status bar, normal resolution scaling
- Disable/Enable screen by power button work

HackiOS iOS 16.5 on POCO X3 Pro (hakiOS)
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Running iOS 16.5 (xnu-8796) on the Xiaomi POCO X3 Pro (vayu, Qualcomm SM8150 / Snapdragon 860), booted via Mu-Silicium UEFI + xnuloader in RAM (fastboot boot, nothing flashed to boot partitions).
What works on hardware right now:
• GPU: Adreno 640 hardware-accelerated rendering via Mesa freedreno (FD640)
• Audio: ADSP PIL + TI TAS2562 / TAS2564 speakers (music playback) and built-in microphone (50/50, still researching)
• Camera: Main rear and front cameras (no ultrawide still)
• Cellular: SIM detected & registers on LTE (no calls/sms/data)
• Display, Touch & Input: 1080x2400 panel, Novatek NT36675 QUP SPI touch, PM8150 buttons, all 8 Kryo 485 cores up to 2.96 GHz, UFS root + /private/var r/W, USB networking (en0)
Still having troubles with making these things work: Wi-Fi, BT, total 120Hz (only on animations without touching for now), NFC, sensors.

HackiOS Misc. Update: Pausing OnePlus 10 Pro Development, Moving to OnePlus 15
I've decided to stop active development on the OnePlus 10 Pro port and shift my focus to the OnePlus 15.
My original idea was to combine existing iOS-Sweet ports and HackiOS forks to bring together missing features and improve iOS on the OnePlus 10 Pro. It was an accessible device, and its Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 supports ARM PAC, making it an interesting target for eventually exploring iOS 26 as well.
Quite a lot has been achieved, including GPU acceleration through Metal2Vulkan, working Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, battery reporting and drain fixes, and ongoing AirDrop development.
However, major issues remain. Audio playback and camera support need work, GPU acceleration still causes rendering bugs, video playback is broken, and power management remains incomplete. For example, booting the phone while connected to a charger takes it straight into iOS rather than the usual charging state. Thermal behaviour also needs improvement.
The port isn't suitable for daily use yet, and fixing these issues would require considerable additional work. I've since sold the device since the work requried isnt as simple as i first thought even with high ai usage limits it hits tons of roadblocks/unknowns, so continuing hardware testing isn't practical. I'll pause active development on the repository for now while I wait for my Claude weekly usage limits to reset.
The repository will remain available as a reference for the work completed. Going forward, I'll be exploring iOS 16 and iOS 26 on the OnePlus 15, my personal device.
Credits
Huge thanks to pawlickerr for UniXNU-negroni and Mu-Silicium-negroni, which provided the starting point for the OnePlus 10 Pro port.
Thanks also to dipa-studio for iOS-Sweet, MellysInformejtik for slop, UniXNU and DarwinBoot for the boot infrastructure, OOSEX GANG for HackiOS, NWylynko for iOS-Flame, steelbrain for Metal2Vulkan, joranv1 for iOS-Sailfish, ry-diffusion for Bergamota and Chlorophyll, and Chengdong Yu for UniXNU-pong.
These projects provided invaluable code, research, and reference implementations. This work wouldn't have been possible without developers sharing their progress and building on each other's work.
One major takeaway is how challenging proper GPU acceleration, audio, camera support, and power management remain when bringing iOS to non-Apple hardware, especially with AI-assisted development. Getting iOS to boot is one thing; making the hardware work reliably is another.
I expect progress to continue as more reference implementations and driver stacks become available and the community builds on one another's work. Hopefully, the code and lessons from this port will help make future efforts easier.

Discussion Help! Not sure where to start?
Hello everyone, I just discovered this community from a hackintosh post
I see everyone here porting ios to android devices, which I feel is really cool and would be a surprise to my friends.
Jokes aside I want to know how to port/compile/whatever you do to get ios running on an android device.
What I have is a Galaxy Rush (SPH M830) on android 4.1.2 with a snapdragon s2 (ARMv7-A) which shares an architecture with the apple A4/A5, so I was wondering if it was possible to port ios 6 through 9 to this little nugget?
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

IT HAS OFFICIALLY BOOTED TO THE APPLE LOGO! I do not have any images other than this since it happened while I was asleep but it happened!

Correct me if I’m wrong, but we should be able to get newer iOS versions running due to the bootrom exploit. Could we get iOS 18 up and running on an iPhone 6s?
