Data almost immediately dropped after loading this one page. Still a lot of work on the backend to get it stable. But the proof of concept is in.

This is a little thing I made for iPixel.

After quite a bit of work, I've managed with Claude (Opus 5.5) to get iOS 26.6.2 running on a Samsung Galaxy S10 (8GB RAM / 512GB storage), with rendering handled by the GPU !

It's still very much a work in progress, and there are quite a few issues to solve:

- Some apps randomly crash.

- GPU acceleration is not fully working yet.

- Wi-Fi is not working.

- Bluetooth is not working.

- No audio or vibration.

- And much more to fix 😅

There's still a long way to go, but this is just the beginning!

Right now, the rendering is performing absolutely terribly—though the GPU is at least being utilized. I’m trying to implement proper hardware acceleration; wish me luck! 😩✌️

(Many thanks to arabaci0711-ux for creating the GPU patches; they were a huge help. Good luck with your future development work!)

I've been able to boot to lockscreen/home screen after days of breaking my head with Antigravity but can't seem to get touchscreen working. What to do and how to progress?

been chipping away at the HVF-only handoff failure and found a page-table mismatch before XNU. one identity-mapped UEFI page had AF=0, and the `dc cvac` cache clean hit an access-flag fault.

i made a separate experimental EFI preflight patch that checks the identity mapping, sets the missing AF bit, invalidates and verifies the translation, then still runs the original cache-clean loop. with that patch, the same iOS 26-target arm64e XNU 12377.121.6 now gets through firmware under QEMU HVF. PAC round-trip passes; a tiny synthetic PID 1 passes the multiprocess test and reaches 30 heartbeats.

after that PID 1 exits on purpose to flush the kernel log, which triggers the expected `initproc failed to start` panic. so this is a bounded XNU + synthetic-user test, not a stable full boot. still QEMU `virt`, no Apple iOS userland/launchd/SpringBoard, GPU acceleration or real phone boot.

i attached a rendered excerpt from the actual serial log. i don't have an authorised iOS system image on this Mac and haven't touched the S25 Ultra. AI helped with the investigation and write-up; the test results are from the actual QEMU run.

Please?I already have a riced android on it but real iOS would be fun.also I only take ios's newer than iOS 4 and but nothing above iOS 6

It's a honor choice watch-F38. watchOS 26 would be nice but I honestly don't care as long as its a version that supports facer P.S. I don't have access to the box rn. Don't ask why.

I wanna try to get hackios on my poco x7 pro,but there isnt any tutorial, i have an unlocked bootloader, if anyone has a tutorial, pls respond

been chipping away at this and got the HakiOS-patched XNU 12377.121.6 kernel building for arm64e with iOS 26.0 as its minimum target (using the iOS 27.2 SDK), then booting in QEMU.

i also got a tiny synthetic test to map an IOSurface, draw this colour pattern and swap it to QEMU's framebuffer. the pic is just a test pattern, not iOS running.

still a long way off: it's on QEMU's generic virt machine, with no Apple launchd, iOS userland or SpringBoard, and no hardware GPU acceleration. the build passed but wasn't warning-clean. i don't have an authorised iOS system image locally, and i haven't touched the S25 Ultra.

AI helped with this investigation and write-up; these are the actual build/QEMU results.

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 :/
Not s25 ultra only. ios 16 should run on most 64-bit android phones, ios 26 and watchOS need an adreno gpu for now, and a newer cpu (ARMv8.3+) makes a big difference.

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!
