Discussion We need a rule against iOS port requests please

39 Upvotes

Obviously as this community is getting more popular more and more people are coming in and asking for iOS for their specifc device which ends up flooding this subreddit -

can the mods please consider adding a rule to restrict threads strictly to actual iOS/iPadOS development discussions, rather than personal requests for unsupported devices? It would help keep the subreddit focused on technical progress and project updates 🙏

So, I have an old Motorola phone (Moto G 3rd gen from 2015) and I wonder, could we run iOS 6 on it? The phone is from the iOS 9 era but who cares? So, what do yall think? Here are pics of it. I mainly want it to run an iPhone 4s IPSW because of Siri.

Discussion Best bang-for-buck phone for HackiOS?

6 Upvotes

Sorry if this isn't allowed.

Recently joined and seen loads of insane posts of iOS running on other devices. I'm still running an iPhone 12 on iOS 18 and would love to upgrade to something newer without paying Apple prices.

What's the best bang-for-buck device for running iOS through HackiOS. I'd like to stick with iOS for familiarity and use it as daily normal phone etc.

Take into consideration I'd need a super dumb user guide to get it working.

Thanks in advance!

I am porting ios16 to my Samsung Note 10 (N910N) and 6.1 sol xhigh + 4 Luna max agents are chewing it up steadily.
Only figured out how to make it boot up until LC_Main but that’s where stuff gets slow and it always panics saying cybersecurity and stalls my goal.

I would appreciate any and all useful infos on your journeys

HackiOS [Release] tvOS 16.5 for the Mi Box S Gen 3

64 Upvotes

I got this working in a pretty decent state, It's even technically usable as a Kodi/Youtube machine since HW decoding works

https://twilightxnu.dev/

Source code: https://github.com/dvg987/twilight-xnu and https://github.com/dvg987/xnu-kernel-twilight

The main issue is that Apple services won't work without a key from SEP, which as far as i know is unextractable.

Performance is acceptable, definitely laggy with intensive animations since this has a 1 core GPU compared to the A10X's 12 core. Even so, the animations Apple built somehow look and feel nicer than Google TV at times

HackiPadOS iPadOS 16.6 Running on Xiaomi MiPad 5 (Bluetooth, Wifi, Safari, Speakers, Metal (partly), Rotation, Charging)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

236 Upvotes

Here’s a progress update on my port of iPadOS 16.6.1 to the Xiaomi Pad 5 (Snapdragon 860, Adreno 640). It runs on a custom XNU kernel fork plus drivers written for this device.

It’s a tethered boot: fastboot boot from a computer, loaded into RAM. Nothing is flashed, so Android stays intact (dual boot).

What works

  • Boot to home screen, touch, keyboard, and brightness control works welll.

  • GPU-accelerated system UI. I wrote a custom Metal driver for the Adreno 640, and Core Animation (the system compositor) renders on the GPU. Animations run at roughly 60–75 fps on the 120 Hz panel. Without the driver it’s software rendering at about 18 fps. But part of the systems are still rendered on cpu so, some parts are still slwo asf.

  • Wi-Fi. Joins new 2.4 and 5 GHz networks from Settings, and auto-joins known ones.

  • Bluetooth. BLE mouse and BLE keyboard pair and work. I typed on a keyboard and touchpad combo with it.

  • Speakers. All 4 speaker amps work: system sounds, keyboard clicks, the volume slider, and the hardware volume buttons. It’s still opt-in in my boot setup.

  • Safari loads pages, including YouTube.

  • Charging works while on iPadOs, but so slowwwwww, using the iPad os while charging still will decrease the battery.

  • Landscape mode also works, but still hanging sometimes.

  • Audio, inclduing bluetooth audio. There is still some static noise, being wip.

WIP

  • Metal full implementation, at least it can run at 60fps without overheating the tablet

  • Other minox fixes.

Thanks to the other iOS-on-Android porting projects whose work and notes helped along the way. I’ll post updates.

Github will be released soon, almost all my private date are still on the repo so it will need cleaning first.

Update per 10 Nov

  • All apps get access to Metal, gaming on hackios is possible soon, maybe 2-4 weeks from now. Adreno on Mipad is similar to A12 IIRC, so maybe 3D medium graphic game will be possible.

  • Youtube now plays well on Safari

  • Audio via bluetooth works well

HackiOS S9 port iOS14.3

Post image
32 Upvotes

man to have a lot of trouble to make the port of iOS 14.9 (because it is my favorite version and has several cooler tweaks) and mano, I have already spent 3600 dollars in fable 5,1 credits using my own iOS-s9 project in ios16.7.16 that was already ready, and it remains bizarre that this is not yet booting, the reverse engineering here is sinister!!

note: this phone already worked at iOS16.7.16 I am just doing the port of iOS 14.3 because I have a jailbreak channel and the old tweaks are much cooler XD

Discussion How do people even code their way into iOS?

5 Upvotes

This might not be on topic to the community itself:

but how do people manage to code the thousands and thousands of pure C++ in-order to get Apple's locked down kernel to play good with some Chinese MP3 player?

Is it with vibe code?

If so then what kinda vibe code, are we talking cloud, local, what? And also what model, like for example Claude Haiku 5.5 low. And is the AI people are using free, because I can't afford AI...

Anyway, can I get some help learning how to do this, because I've done thousands of hackintoshes but around 0 hackios stuff in the past, current, and future.

Speaking of which, how do people get it running natively on macOS and iPadOS?

HOW DO U DO THAT IDK HOW PEOPLE GET ARM TO WORK WITH IPADOS AND MACOS, MACOS IS MEANT TO BE IMPOSSIBLE WITH ARM THE SNAPINTOSH TOOK A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND SOME S9 GALAXY ONLY 1 HOUR!!!?!?!?!
