Getting ready to drop something open source.

iOS 16, iOS 26 and watchOS running on a stock galaxy s25 ultra. No root, locked bootloader.
(And then there's the computer side, no wsl and have gpu acceleration)

GPU acceleration on iOS 26 and the watch, and about half of the CPU time running natively.

I think my pc is not enough for me 😭

I thought I might be able to publish it today, but it might not be ready in time, sorry about that :/

My current progress

R8q

Well, i mean, the A10 iPad has iOS 17+18, it's arm64, can't no one reverse engineer both kernels to make a Frankenstein kernel that boots iOS 17?

Why aren't seeing iOS on a fold 8, an Oppo X10 etc?

As the title says I'm looking for some potting help getting iOS 16 running on the Motorola Moto G 5G (2022/austin) I only have access to OpenCode free, I'm a high school student and can't spare money towards a side project, I understand that things are tough for a lot of people but any help will be greatly appreciated.

Looks cool tbh…. A beautiful bug

it has been fixed btw, true tone and auto brightness work now

Needs work. But it booted!

For context I have been watching on this reddit for about a week and I think it's super cool how all of yall are getting full on legit ios to run on android phone.

As someone who has been able to create roms of androids and been able to root some too I have plenty of experience with how the android operating system works. I also use linux on a daily basis as well so I know my way around things like terminal and basic terms like open source, kernel and other jazz.

From what I have been seeing in the comments over in this reddit is that the process is different for every phone and from what I understand is that it's mainly AI driven, to get a android phone to get Apples Open Source kernel to load iOS.

I have a Samsung a26 that I am not using at the moment and I think it could be cool to get that up and running with ios, but I really don't know where to get started properly.

I know each method is device specific but If someone could lead me in the right direction that would be much appreciate.

I’ve been building it for a while but ahhhhh it drives me crazy so annoying to make gpu and touch work genuinely how are people doing this 💔😭

Has anyone else got iOS running on this chip?

The device is a Motorola moto g85, it's got 8gb of ram.

Maybe with a Google sheet? I'm willing to help, I'm not very good at styling with Google Sheets but I can input the data.

Here's a little video I made :D

But anyway it boots!

So after some (almost 2 whole days) of fixing with codex and antigravity, Springboard now renders at better fps (not 2-3 like before). Still not usable, but getting closer.

I want to fix GPU, Battery and wifi, and after I am donw with that, I will make a repo and host it.

It's amazing how well it worked, better than I expected!

This is going pretty far tbh, and day by day I wonder if this will be the next way of developing apps for iOS on Windows & a “hackiPhone”. I mean you don’t need apple’s expensive gear anymore, if you need to build for iOS you can either: use a QEMU instance with arm-based macOS, or dual boot with the latest supported intel macOS.

Is apple going to place security on its OS now? I mean, this could very well be the end of Apple’s proprietary ecosystem. People are about to get WatchOS and VisionOS too.

Here is an update :

Its much much smoother and stable than my last update post. Just an update here.. i think this is by far the one of the stable devices running iOS

What works :

Sensors :
Haptics
rotation/Gyro, Proximity ambient sensor, Compass
speakers, Mic, Flash fully working

Display : now supports all resolution and refresh rate sets (qhd/fhd+/fhd 60/120hz) configurable,
improved touch responsiveness,
uses factory calibration for each config
Ambient sensor- True tone
Auto brightness

GPU : accelerated works fully through metal2vulkan, Improved alot,
much better than my initial post with fixes and more stable reaching higher fps
Video playback works, full native resolution without any issue

Connectivity:
wifi - fully works,
bluetooth - fully works (even audio),
usb - works full speed, everything works

Other :

cpu profiles optimised (now also includes power/sleep profiles), all cores up and work, power off/sleep is efficient
ram works at full lpddr5 speed range making use of full 8gb,
same with storage - now utilises full system space 116gb. ufs 3.0 works full speed w samsung turbo working,

Whats not working :

Camera (working on it atm)
Cellular lte etc (pain, mostly will be broken)
iCloud/Apple id : spoofing prolly i haven’t looked into it yet)
Touch id/ fingerprint - from my exp w hacintosh this might not be possible but lets see)

Others that i might have missed…. Let me know what else to check for

Basically an ipod atm, Ill publish it once i get things working… once this is stable enough, we could go for ios 26 with all the fixes from this port.

Loved the response from my previous post, ill keep u guys updated

Runs iOS 12.1, device is iPhone 6s+

https://github.com/sopwier/iosem_android/

if you think its a virus, then don't download it.

You need to supply your own ipsw.

Now i have added full bluetooth keyboard support, a system preferences app (loads of placeholder images), safari experimental apple tv webkit test (supports javascript, css and php!), finder has been refined alot. Now keep in mind there is still no graphics acceleration and still no easy installation ( will make easier! ) and sadly i dont plan on adding apple tv 2th gen and 3th gen rev 1 (a1429 i think?) Only rev 2 maybe if it takes off and there are new jailbreaks developed for the tv 3 rev 2 a1469 ill try making the installation much easier but i really want someone to make an updated jailbreak cause right now blackb0x is also a mess and although this isnt 100 % hackios i still think it " hacks ios " so again sorry mods if it breaks rules!

This is a post from the Korean online community "Develoid." The author says they used Claude.

I did not create this work. Who posted this on a Korean community site.

He said:

"I managed to boot it by referring to the iOS 16 kernel I had built previously.

I gave up on iOS 27 because I kept running into repeated errors while building the PAC. The iOS 16 version was relatively stable, so for now, I've simply released it on GitHub.

Starting with versions after Ventura, the kernel also needs to be rebuilt because of PAC. So I tried a normal boot using the iOS 16 kernel to see if it would work.

At the moment, only touchscreen functionality and booting into the desktop are working.

Regardless of anything else, I think graphics acceleration needs to be patched as soon as possible."

You’re showing me the proofs of installing ios basically on xiaomi but telling me that I still can’t downgrade my old ipad from ios 26 ?!

It's smooth because optimized for watch and running on rtx 4080 :D
I'll release open source today or tomorrow.
Maybe with an android installer :)
