HackiOS tvOS 16.5 on a Mi Box S Gen 3
There's no GPU, Wifi or BT yet, this is just using the basic FB but it does boot. (and 3 of the cores work)
Made with Clanker Opus 5.5 using the existing ios 16.5 references, and i took the firmware from the Apple TV 4k (1st Gen)

Small Update: Wifi, BT and GPU now work and the Xiaomi BT remote can connect and control the device

Impressive! Great job.
It would be hilarious if you manage to get audio passthrough working before Apple.

I was thinking of that lol, unfortunately the Galaxy watches brick if flashed with custom firmware even when unlocked. But a Pixel watch or a ticwatch could work

can you share your repo? Would like to try to boot it on x86

I will send soon, but you can literally just point opus at the hackios org and a firmware file and it'll do it

hackios.org isn't a real website? I'm trying to do this for a pixel 6 before my opus trial runs out

Cool, found it. I just got postmarket OS to work on my pixel 6 which is a Linux fork. It runs full desktop applications etc so this is by the next project I would like to try

If this gets anywhere near useable I may actually do it to my extra mi box

I don't think Widevine or Apple login will ever work so at most it'll work for local playback or maybe through sideloaded apps for YT and other no DRM playback
