DUAL Boot Android and ios5

Hi Friends,
Have anybody tried to dual boot android with ios5. It will be great if someone can do this.
While searching came across this
http://code.google.com/p/bootdroid
http://bootdroid.blogspot.in/
Any solutions?

I don't think that's possible.

You can't run iOS as a rom because its closed source. It would be impossible to port because all the libs are different even though its based off linux

IOS is based off of Mac OSX which is based off of *Unix*

so the info on the links is just bull**** ?
BUT: it is possible to have your android phone "transformed" to look like ios with miui rom and iphone theme.
that still doesnt give access to the appstore but its as near as we can get to ios looks

Got none of the required devices I would have tried otherwise :/

i have a desire hd but i dont really think this is legit.. probably just some guy hunting payperclicks

This will never be possible. IPhone and android phones havedifferent processor architecture.

It IS possible to dual boot an iPhone with Android and iOS, the project is called iDroid (idroidproject[.]org) but some of the iPhone jail breakers (like @chronic) are creating a linux-based OS (called Magenta) that replicates iPhone OS 1.0, my source says that it currently runs on ARM7 hardware
Magenta is an implementation of Darwin/BSD on top of the Linux kernel. It is made up of a number of kernel and userland components that work together. It is fully binary compatible with iPhone OS 5.0 (as in, it uses the same binary format).

The final goal is probably recreating the iPhone OS 1.0 stack. I think this is a pretty feasible goal, considering the fact that there are so many open source libs that can be used to replace the proprietary libs used by Apple. Just as an example:
* CoreGraphics -> Cairo
-> FreeType
-> libpng/jpg
* Celestial -> Various open source media decoding libs.
* UIKit -> Chamelleon

The original ios firmware? ? I think its cool, hope they develop for the new ios though. Number one was pretty lame

I think so, they say the aim is to run iOS
The project does not wish to build a platform that can run Apple’s App Store apps; it appears to just aim at running iOS.

As you can see it isn't for running App Store apps, but if it has root access like a rooted android, then you can just put any app on the device..
Like a Cydia app (for the ones who don't know: Cydia is an App Store that you get when you jailbreak your iPhone)

Dual boot iOS and Android. Hm... why not to try Linux instead? iOS is not flexible as Android and what's the point of it? Also we can start porting Windows 8 and other stuff.

iOS 5 is designed to run only on apple's specified hardware design. It is next to impossible to have apple software running on android hardware, but there have been reports of android running on apple hardware. This all involves a lot of lib tweaking, proper execution of binaries, andjust plain coding genius.

Look at post #9 It IS possible if someone tries to get it on an android with a bit porting of the Magenta-project. And yes it is possible to run android on iPhone (post #9 as well) it is called iDroid (as mentioned in post #9)

here is the source code from cronic, who is an apple dev, who is working on porting it for us, http://crna.cc/ , if any dev is wishing to finish it off with his android intel

why doenst just buy an iPhone ?

That is exactly what's said in post 9! Don't people read the whole topic, or do you just post blindly and hope that someone before you didn't post that ?? Sorry for getting off-topic

For those asking "why?", I found this thread because I would like an Android tablet, but I'm worried I'll want the latest app or game and it will be only on iOS for too long before going to Android. I'd like the best of both worlds, someday (perhaps when iDroid is out of alpha).

If you want the best of both worlds, let me give you some suggestions:
Buy a jailbreak-able iPhone (4S or 4 recommended) jailbreak it on iOS 5.1.1 (if that's the current OS) and then with Cydia you can customize your iPhone as much as you want.
Buy both of them (which I have done) and enjoy
But do not expect iDroid to be stable anytime soon, for now..
That was a bit off-topic, sorry, but I hope this helps!

Mozilla's Boot 2 Gecko OS Project

As you may know, Mozilla (the famous team who brought us Firefox and Thunderbird Mail) is now creating an operating system based on mobile devices such as tablets and cell phones. As an open-source supporter and lover, I'm interested to see where this goes. But how does this operating system have anything to do with us you say? Well, Mozilla is working on QualComm based hardware, and they need phones to test the operating system on. Well, the phones they have choose to use to test Boot 2 Gecko, is none other than the Galaxy S II! Expect we'll be the first ones with a fully-stable working Boot 2 Gecko build. This would mean, that we would have up to two choices for operating systems, Android and Boot 2 Gecko.

Wow, Really looking forward to a new os!

Thats crazy! Might attract some Dev's!

This looks really cool! I'm excited to see what happens for this project. It might turn out to be a truly useful OS. A game changer really since it's trying to be a truly open source OS

Imho they'd better port Thunderbird to Android.

OWOSP for our lovely O1?

hey guys,
always beeing fascinated about webos and it beeing the first platform with true multi tasking i remember back the days thinking abaout buying an HP device...
we all know, except the touchpad you wont get that much support anymore..
but now the open webOS project beeing released and me beeing the one testing out all and everything with my p500 i would like to know if it is possible to run webOS on our device?
Greetz
Robert

Maybe yes but i dont think developers are interested to port the os

why do you think that?

can any1 telll what hardware specs are required for this os.. ? if our device meets them... i would love to try and see if its possible to port it.. :good:

searching...
EDIT:
seems to be quite hard to find anything requirements related...
i continue searching but i would appreciate others searching too

i also searched a bit... i got the devices running this os.. it was hp pre 2 and 3 ... and their cpu were lik snapdragon 1.4 ghz .... i guess it would be a bit difficult to get it work.. :fingers-crossed:
i am also not able to find a download link.. :silly:

well yeah the pre and the touchpad...
i mean jb and ics were not supposed to run on our devices and...well they do...
i guess you have to compile from the source:
scroll down to source
helpful? hope so...

ok guys i found out that a friend of mine is a developer of this project
webos in the current stadium cannot be installed anywhere!
it requires a linux 3.3 kernel not even the old palm devices are able to run webos

just want to add:
my laptop is running the latest ubuntu 12.04 and its kernel is...
3.2.0-29-generic <-- this is lower than the required kernel for a mobile OS ?!
this is a fail -.-
anybody knows which kernel runs on s3 or nexus?

Palm pixi has 600 armv6 processor
It might be possible

my tapatalk signature sucks more than yours.

iOS isn't a open source operating system so it is impossible to port to other phones.

possible

well at the xda login screen theyre showing ubuntu running on a galaxy nexus. We have android running on HTC Windows phones.....if you REALLY wanted it I'm sure it can be done, will half of the apps and settings work? No probably not. But anything is possible except stapling water to a tree......Check this out, I promise its not Rick Roll

Ubuntu like Android is based on Linux so that isn't a surprise that it runs on the Nexus. Linux OS have been dual booted on windows computers for a long time so seeing Android dual-booted on Windows phones isn‘t a surprise either. Also those are dual booted not really replacing your android OS. The pic your talking about is a Ubuntu mobile OS so it should actually replace stock android like a custom rom does. I will also add that iOS is closed source software so you risk legal action doing that. The thread you linked to is closed.

Ubuntu Touch for Nexus Devices, will the OS be portable?

http://developer.ubuntu.com/2013/02/releasing-the-ubuntu-touch-developer-preview-and-sdk-alpha/
So i've seen this working on nexus tab 7 and its awful. The OS is more smooth than android. Will this be a portable OS?

interesting to get it to work on our device, there's a quite detailed tutorial on how to do it here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting but to be honest, i don't think it's worth the effort trying to get it to work on our tabs for now.

". The OS is more smooth than android. "
LOL, Now how in the world would you know that since there is not yet a single fully functional version of this on any device.?
ubuntu is, like ANdroid, simply yet another derivative of Linux which is based on Unix born in 1969, now 44 years old OS

My brother owns NExus 7, and yes it is smooth and better than android. Though after sometime of use, it starts lagging as its only a DEVELOPER PREVIEW

ignore him, he's just trolling. been doing that on some thread lately. about ubuntu touch, i do agree that it is at least looks much better than android, but it still depends on a lot of android's components. it still uses android's surfaceflinger, the audio/video are still using android's abstraction layer, and the kernel itself is still android's kernel. it would be interesting to see how does it compare to android on our device. someone have ported it to samsung s3, search for the thread to see how it perform on exynos devices.

But first, we need to unlock our bootloaders right? And yes i've seen that UBUNTU touch compilation uses CM 10.1 bases.
Im not a DEV.

i don't know if all of the Tab plus are the same, i'm assuming that most of them came with unlocked bootloaders, if there's any locking mechanism at all. i'm pretty sure we will get a running Ubuntu Touch on our devices sooner or later, it's not impossible to be done, but how functional it will be is not for me to talk about since i'm not a developer too.

so, there's a port being goin on for 7.7 and TAB 2.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices

For TAB2 and not for ours? :[
It Seems they've done a good job porting Ubuntu touch os to tab 2.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices/p3110
Almost everything working.

could tizen be ported to different devices like the ubuntu touch?
