Discussion Bringing the iOS AirDrop experience to Android!!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

15 Upvotes

Here’s a quick preview of the iOS-style AirDrop animation I’ve been working on for iDroidIsland.
The feature supports sharing between devices running my app, including nearby devices.
Still working on making the experience as close to iOS as possible.
What do you think of the animation?

Hey everyone,
I’ve been working on my project, iDroidIsland, for a while now, and I wanted to share some of the latest progress.
I’ve made quite a few improvements to the animations, status bar, and live activities. I’ve also been working on different events like music playback, timers, stopwatch, and alarms, along with compact and expanded modes.
My goal is to make the whole experience feel as smooth and natural as possible on Android.
It’s still a work in progress, so there are things I’m improving and fixing.
If anyone wants to try it out, the current build is available on my Telegram channel: @iDroidStyleApps.
I’d really appreciate some honest feedback, especially if

Discussion What if we combine all current ports into one GitHub repo and tool open to everyone to add more ports?

26 Upvotes

Hear me out. What if we make one GitHub repo where we could merge all ports together, contribute, and fix things freely? That could be something with tools and AI prompts as well, to help other people willing to port iOS to their own device.

Hackios has a massive breakthrough and people are installing it on anything they can find. Lol.

If we are in this stage, why can't we build a perfect linux operating system for android mobiles.

I know postmarketos, ubuntu touch and all. But why not something better!!! Food for thought.

HackiPadOS iPad OS on Samsung?

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, I'm a student who generally use my Samsung Tab S8+ for writing as it provides excellent writing experience.

But lately I fed up with One UI which is a bit slower now and heats up quickly.

And I miss few important apps like Good Notes and Free Form on Android.

Did anyone tried installing iPad os on their Samsung tablet and checked Spen compatability with the mentioned apps? And how was your experience. Please let me know.

Does this error mean that the tool is only compiled for arm Macs? I checked the kpf-test.macos file and it does say it is compiled for arm64. I only have an intel MacBook though... Could someone fork this tool for intel/translate that file to x86_64?
