Can you put Android on Iphone

Didnt see anything in a search for this. Is there anyway to put Android on the iphone, anyone know a tutorial or anything?

Now that would be an improvement!!

Everything is possible if a talanted developer puts enough man hours into it. It won't run smoothly with all the missing drivers and such, but it is doable.

android on the Leo would be much cooler IMO!

... -sigh- ...
Why does almost everybody want android on there phones..
Just buy a android device LOL

before android there were people who wanted iphone osx on their wm phone
and people who wanted wm os on their iphone too

The one constant is that some people are never happy no matter what they're offered, and get off on whining.

Um no its not...but thanks for your useless input

it's not possible.
the iphone os is protected by security certificates.
it was a lot of work developing the jailbreak, through an exploit in the os.
not to mention what work would be to port the complete Android OS.
but why would you do that anyway? Buy a device dedicated to what you need for optimum performance.

If you don't actually care about running WM and want an exclusively android device, rumor has it that HTC will be releasing a 1GHz Android device which may be similar to the Leo, so you might want to wait a while. Besides, Android would run much better on a device with a native Android bootloader and compatible hardware (meaning no tweaks to get it working).

I don't think anyone outside HTC knows the answer to that, only that it will probably be in a while. However, they (may) have a prototype, as shown here, which is a good sign developmentally.

I think Android on iPhone would be pretty sweet too. The iPhone is a nice piece of hardware, but I am a die-hard Android user.
I've done a lot of Google searching, and it seems like there is no news after they got the Linux kernel to run with openiBoot. The HTC Dream (T-Mobile G1) and the iPhone both use ARM11-family processors. I imagine that porting the Java VM over wouldn't be that hard for someone who knows what they're doing.
Kind of sad, really. I would proudly rock an Android iPhone.

i see necro post...but iphone < nexus one.

I'm at the cross road of deciding between the next iPhone versus the HTC Supersonic myself and still trying to compare between these os before making the final decision. I would like to invite you guys with good Android knowledge to participate in the following thread and to supply specific detailed information on the full capability of Android phones.

WebOS on the HTC evo ?

Has someone hacked the evo to run WebOS on it ?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

There is nothing that I ever heard of something like this.
I guess if you want the WebOS-experience there is no way around WebOS-Hardware... Which isn't good for now. But soon you will have more to choose from (and I expect also an Evo-like device later this year).

Looks like someone fliped it....
Android on Pre: http://youtu.be/E8nOD9zsCj8 - PreCentral: http://bit.ly/dPDz5L / DualBoot instructions: http://bit.ly/hdD2x9

Not to be too bold in my assumptions but once HP get WebOS 3.0 out the door with the Pre3, i would imagine it would just be a case a custom compiled kernel to get WebOS booting on most hardware? of course theres is the issue of button mapping but 3.0 is supposedly scalable to any resolution and that should make the job of porting the OS easy enough, (if not totally illegal, but hey i think we would all look the other way)
Just my thoughts, what do you guys think?

Wont work we were porting webOS to the cdma htc hero because the specs were very much the same but you can not go above the 1.xx webOS version without it being illegal rwhitby from webOS internals shut us down most likly this will be impossible

You're saying it won't work because you where shut down by the dastardly mr Whitby but if say a script could be written to take a firmware image and modify it (Replace the kernel and editing various CSS/XML files for size and so on) like Rod and co did to get WebOS 2.0 on Pre- that would be alright wouldn't it?

Actually it was the moderators of this forum applying the forum rules regarding redistribution of copyright material which shut down that thread.

Yes. If you do things the right way, you can achieve the same result without violating copyright laws. Most people, however, tend to take the illegal easy way.
-- Rod (the dastardly)

Cunning and dastardly, indeed.
Its best to just wait till the launch of webOS 3.0 before making any attempt to port. I wouldn't really want to have to re-size every element just to get it to fit on various devices before working on the (no doubt numerous) bugs that will remain.

Much props to WebOs Internals!

WebOS internals have to be the most impartial professional homebrew force on the planet.

Why is it that no devs will even touch this with a 10 ft pole?

That's possible, it would be pretty hard to get on our evos as I believe the latest WebOS only supports 320x480 ATM. Once 3.0 releases I could see this port coming to light.

怎么可能，硬件支持都不同，肯定没戏，别指望了。。。

I would run this mod in a heartbeat.

Now this would be awesome... running webs on evo hardware!
but there is too much webOS police out here.
without apps webOS is dead though, after few days i will be back to android.

WebOS on a Evo seems like a step backwards for numerous reasons. Ignoring the outdated hardware in the Evo, what fun would the OS be without the gesture area? Gestures are a huge part of what makes WebOS so simple and fun to navigate.

So that's what happened!!!!

Please please please someone do this. I loved the simple multitasking on my pre- but HATED the crappy hardware and glitches. My evo is amazing the way it is but with WebOs on it, it would be perfect.

[Q] [2 ALL DEVS] Any chance to see WebOS/iOS/WP7 on NS/NS4G?

With the UnBrickable Mod?
I read that webOs was ported to the Evo, and many mobile Os can be flashed on the HD2.
So, is possible to see other mobile Operating systems on our smartphone?
Share your experience, i wanna know about the incredible world of mobile operating systems
Happy New Year 2 all the estimated Developers and all the members of XDA!!!

Far from it. The reason we'll probably never see webos or wp7 on the nexus s is that neither of those os's are fully open source like android, in fact wp7 is completely closed source.

webOS was ported to the Evo 3D but virtually nothing worked from what I remember, making it far from useful, useable, or anything past booting really.

Ios - Never been ported to anything non-apple (as far as I know).
Meego - Possible I guess, but I dont know why anyone would bother putting that amount of time into it.
WebOS - Looking possible, its going open source i hear, but the nexus S community is only going to decrease due to the release of the Galaxy Nexus
Windows Mobile - Dead
Windows Phone 7 - This was ported to the HD2 as the HD2 was used as a test phone for the OS and the drivers got leaked! Microsoft used it as it was a high spec Windows Mobile phone. (It got android as it was very similar to other HTC phones that ran Android, such as the N1 and Desire)
Ubuntu - I guess, probably wouldn't be too hard to get going, why anyone would want to I have no idea.
BB OS - hahaha...

so.... no interest.

I realize this isn't what you're looking for, but if you're just interested in emulating the WP7 look, give Launcher7 from the market a try. I'd also recommend using the Ubermusic music player with the optional metro theme.

Webos on Android Devices (Dual Boot)

I am looking for developers to develop a ROM for the HTC Shirft or the Samsung 7in Tablet from Sprint that dual boots Ice Cream Sandwhich and Webos.
Both OSes on the device would be sweat

Personally i like Webos. But about 70% of others don't. most likely because of it's lack of customization and apps. It would be nice to see the dying OS ported to other devices to give it new life, but don't get your hopes up.
The devs simply don't seem to be too interested in porting Webos to other devices.

I know it is sad for lack of support but Webos fans will support this. A person on one of the Webos forums is trying to wire the HTC Shift to work with the touchpad's charging dock, so there is still hope!

WebOS isn't open source yet, that's why nobody is porting it. -_-

It's not open source YET, but in a few month it will be and I'm hopeful that some devs will port it on other devices then.
The are two things I'm a bit worried about is webOS for other phones. Since I read a blog post which was all about the open source plan of HP I afraid that only the Touchpads 3.x webOS will be open sourced.
The other thing is the maybe missing feature of using gestures on phones. I mean webOS is all about gestures and I love to use my Pre3 with these gestures and the special gesture area, cause it's easy to use and superfast. But when ported on a phone, let's say a Galaxy S2, will there be gestures or does the user have to use the stupid buttons?

My vote is to port it to a device with a massive user base, such as my SGS2, or an HD2. I still play with my Pre- and it sits on my coffee table. After reading The Verge post mortem I understand why it died, but it still is the best UX hands down. Imagine it running on blazing fast hardware, but I wonder how much is lost without a keyboard?

It seems that everyone has move on from webOS within the android community (well, almost everyone). I am one of the die hard fans of the OS and continue to use it daily. Of course, my needs for an OS are different from many , and I come from a solid Linux/Unix background. I have used palm products for years and followed webOS from the beginning. There are times when I come off like a fanboi for webOS but it has seemed to be an elegant solution for true multi tasking from the beginning. I hear most folks here talking of the untimely demise of webOS and cannot help but wonder if they have decided not to follow the development of Open WebOS. The community edition of webOS is due out in Sept and there are a number of major improvements coming with it. There is also the Phoenix project which may be building another tablet running the open source WebOS.
For those who have moved on from webOS and are satisfied with android, I bid you fair well. I will continue to work within the webOS community and look forward to future development. For those who are still on the fence, I would suggest a bit of patience as there are good things in the future of webOS and this fall really isn't that far off. Whichever OS you choose, remember that the touch pad that you have is still one of the few dual boot tablets on the market and (for those who were not early adopters) was purchased for a reduced price that would be hard to match by any other tablet manufacturer. The hardware is still pretty good compaired to most all dual core tablets and is still able to run cutting edge android builds. This alone would be a good argument for sticking with the touch pad but I stick with it for the things it continues to do well within webOS.

I remember when I had my pre you could place your phone in dev mode (root) by a simple dialer code reboot and itd be unlocked then you can install preware and from there install anything you want. I remember patches that added lots more functionality to the OS. Much simpler than android

I'll buy the lack of apps argument, but customization? Kiddin' me? Installing Preware couldn't be any easier if they tried. Only Windows Mobile was easier than webOS.

Ideally webOS that could run Android apps would be great. The UX on webOS is second only to Windows Phone IMO, but webOS needs the app power of Android.
I had a Pre+ for a weekend but after the third time swapping it out because of hardware problems, I gave up on it. The hardware was always the problem. They should have had HTC manufacture it like the Treos.

So Open WebOS is out...

Is there any chance we are getting WebOS ported to the Sensation at all? it would be nice to have more variety for our amazing devices
Any thoughts?

I am interested in it myself but seeing as I have only compiled Android from source I have been looking for more info on how to set up to build it from source. I image it is a lot like compiling Android but I am not sure. Also I am not sure if we will have to modify or even compile a completely new kernel just for WEB OS. If anyone else has some input I am all ears.
Edit: Thanks to the XDA Portal story I got a link to what I have been looking for

the palm pre, for its time, was an amazing design with an even better OS.. too bad for palm. webos could have been android if they had a better plan.

Yessss I think so.
It would be perfect if our sensation can dual boot webos.
Hopefully.

it would be even better if we got Android Applications working under WebOS. If that ever happens, i don't see myself using android for an extended period of time. for some reason WebOS feels more sturdy and put together than android for me

How does it work with different chipsets?
