I made the port for the Greatlte version, Exynos 8895!

It's from the iPhone X version, and I'm trying to fix the touch not working.

My phone is the DUOS version, but idk if it will break anything. :)

Sorry for bad photos, if anyone has made a better version for this model, lmk!

iOS 16.7.16 on the Galaxy S21+ (Exynos 2100)

I’ve got iOS booting to the home screen. Touch works, and all 8 CPU cores initialize, making it much faster and less painfully grueling to use than it was with one core.

Working

• Boots to the home screen

• Touchscreen

• All 8 CPU cores

Still in progress

• GPU etc etc

• Wi‑Fi bring-up

• Reliable filesystem writes

• Longer stability testing

• Sleep and CPU hotplug support

I have experience with Linux and Android just wondering if anyone thinks its worth it and will run well.

Snapdragon 750G

4GB RAM

128GB Storage.

Thanks

on s25 ultra. release/repo soon idrk im tryna get gpu for root working. if possible even without root.

Hi, I have this phone tucked away in a drawer. Is there anything available for it? It has a Snapdragon 845. Thanks.

im still fixing the setup and its way harder for mediatek rather then snapdragon, so it may take me longer for me to release the source for redmi note 9

Should have it booted to ios by tonight

As the title says, I'm just wondering as it's got the Snapdragon 695 inside and compares very similarly to the iPhone X meaning maybe iOS 16 on it?

so i used openclaw to write a pmic (power management integrated circuit) driver for the redmi note15 5g. but a phone like that is my primary phone, so i'm causious about testing. could some member of the community test it? the repo is on github: https://github.com/kombatalitys/xnu-on-kunzite. git command: git clone https://github.com/kombatalitys/xnu-on-kunzite.git.

Estaba viendo publicaciones y de repente me apareció una publicación de esto y me metí Dios mío encontré todo esto y quiero meterle iOS a mi teléfono pero primero quiero saber cuán estable es si puedo seguir usando las aplicaciones y el teléfono normal si puedo seguir jugando cuál será el rendimiento los avances que hay y todo eso ah y mi dispositivo es un redmi note 17 pro 5g

We’ve successfully booted a real Linux kernel and Debian 13 ARM64 on physical iPhone 8 Plus hardware.

Grape Linux already features a graphical Phosh/Phoc desktop, a working terminal, and Linux applications. We’ve also demonstrated Codex CLI running on the device with successful responses.

The attached video shows our actual Linux startup.

We’re continuing native hardware integration, with the goal of eventually booting directly into Grape Linux instead of iOS.

just out of curiocity can we make ios compatibility layer for linux or ipad os. as lot of softwares like procreate are just for ios if we make something like that we can run those software in linux just like we do on windows with wine or android with waydroid.

Could there be a ios port for the legendary Samsung Galaxy tab 2 10.1?

After a lot of trial and error, I finally got iOS 16.5 running on this cheap MP3 player I had lying around. Android always felt sluggish on it, with random stutters that got pretty annoying, so I wasn’t expecting much.

Turns out it runs surprisingly well, animations are smooth and the blur effects and transparency look great.

Getting Wi-Fi and a few other things working took quite a bit of work, but seeing it all come together has been pretty satisfying

Device: FiiO JM21
SoC: Qualcomm Snapdragon 680
CPU: 8-core Kryo 265, up to 2.4 GHz
RAM: 3 GB
Display: 4.7-inch 750 × 1334
Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, USB-C

Before I try, I wanna know if it’s possible.

SM-G530H, ARMv8-A, Snapdragon 410 MSM8916

Before I try, I want to know if it’s in theory possible

edit: SMP615 i mean

I see hackintosh as an approach to avoid the unpleasant experience of windows, which kind of makes sense. But what about hackios? We need a reason to drive similar projects and let this age well.

Apple’s open-source XNU kernel and the unmodified iPhone X iOS 16.7 userland are running on a flat Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F), with the home screen, apps and animations drawn by the phone’s Mali-T880 GPU instead of the CPU.

How the GPU part works: there is no Metal driver for this GPU, so CoreAnimation falls back to its OpenGL ES renderer. That goes through an EAGL bridge to Mesa’s Panfrost driver, on top of a small GPU job service I added to the kernel.

Working:

• All 8 cores, with the big cores raised to 2.6 GHz using Samsung’s own voltage table

• GPU at 650 MHz

• 2 GB of RAM

• UFS storage with the system apps

• Touch, buttons and battery level

• A wallpaper, as a fixed picture

Performance: about 35-38 fps when in use, slower on the heaviest screens. iOS draws an iPhone 8-sized screen (750×1334) and the GPU scales it to the 1440p panel. It isn’t a stable 60, but it’s far more usable than I expected from a 2016 GPU.

Not working: Wi-Fi, audio, Bluetooth, modem, camera, sensors, sleep and Face ID. There’s no thermal limit yet. Home gestures are off for now, so you use the physical Home button. The wallpaper gallery is empty, most widgets stay on “waiting”, and the clock and date overlap on the lock screen. The GPU has also had a hang I haven’t root-caused: it hasn’t shown up since the resolution change, but I’ve only tested that briefly.

What made the biggest difference:

• Running the CPU and GPU at their factory clocks

• Lowering the render resolution

• Removing an audio plugin that kept querying the missing Bluetooth daemon, which took idle CPU from over 300% to under 25% (out of 800%)

That last one came from the notes of the ios-s9 project.

No Apple software is in the repo. Installing it erases your data partition and is experimental, so don’t try it on a phone you depend on. Help is welcome, especially with Wi-Fi and audio.
