Hello,
I was searching through the other topics, and the only thing I can find is how to make your phone look like and iPhone interface.
My friends have iPhones and they want me to get Find My Friends, but the Android version is not the same as the iPhone version which means no Find My Friends...
I was wondering if there was some way to emulate the iPhone on an android phone so I can use that app.
I really mean emulate as in an emulation app (I will be rooted soon if that is a requirement), and NOT use a ROM that will turn my phone into an iPhone.
I'm a bit of a n00b at this kind of stuff, so please be gentle with me lol.

i think find my friends apps is exclusive only for iPhone its hard to emulate the apps of idevices.

I figured that. I've not been able to find anything on the web about this type of stuff, so I figured it would be a bit of a nightmare.

Iphone and Android App Developers
Find My Friends app is created only for iPhones. According to me, it is very difficult to emulate the iPhone on an Android phone as they both are supported by completely different platforms.
Welcome. Rather, it is impossible to run an application from iPhone to Android and vice versa. You can look but they have a completely different code and I doubt that anyone did. But we live in such times, so good luck.

Negative...why? If you want Apple apps get an Ipod Touch or IPhone.

App Store as in total control of what is allowed, or as in porting apps?
The first one can be organized, the second one is probably impossible, you need to have the source code for the app..
I have an ipod touch but the Apple app store has far more games and things to entertain me... I'd rather just have everything on my phone instead of switching between the two. It's basically just easier if I could have my ipod games on my phone.

So basically what you are saying is because you're lazy, you want to argue with everyone about the virtues of taking restricted apps made for the iPhone and installing them on your Android phone, which would violate all the rules and copyrights from Apple?
It would probably be easier and take less effort to just buy yourself an iPhone or duct tape a phone to your iPod.
Yes

As I stated above:

To be fair, the OP has a point.
As much as i hate apple (and love android) the Apple app store blows the Android Marketplace out of the water as far as games are concerned.
...but no, it's probably impossible.
I asked this question before I searched for stuff about it. It's impossible unless we could get the android to read and accept the idevice files. I am lazy and I don't like needing to switch between and ipod and a phone I love my phone but I like being able to play games

Well, I would appreciate you for out- of- the box thinking even if it is impossible at first. Few decades before nobody had dreamt that people will be carrying phones in their pockets.
Good luck !
Swyped from my Galaxy 3
So, if TouchPad runs twice as fast on the iPad 2, why don't you guys, devs, try to install Android 2.3 or Android 3 on an iPad 2, and see the results? I believe it's possible because Android is Open source(ok maybe Android 2.3) and because you guys have dual booted iOS with Android on an iPhone. I don't believe it's silly, because you might get some data. I believe it's worth a try. Opinions?
+1 from me. I think it's a brilliant idea. I think though that the whole attempt won't be a walk in the park even in the very early stages (ie: no 3G/wifi/BT working etc) due to drivers. I say so because of the fact that I haven't been able to find a 'modified' f/w for the iPad1/2... at least just yet!

Apple hardware is nice... Real nice. So weather you like iOS or not, I think Honeycomb on the iPad 2 would be sweet.
It is my understanding that this will become more feasible when Google releases the source code for Honeycomb, as they are holding onto it for now.

I too have been wondering if there has been any progress putting android on ipad?
Gingerbread would be alot sweeter than ios on ipad 2. And. Agree apple hardware is stylish and bomb.
I would also like to see an android tablet running ios. That would probably be really really hard. There's nothing wrong with apple. Apple ftw

My work gave me a free ipad 2 to keep, but iOS just isn't working for me (the app selection, it turns out, isn't really as great as people make it out to be - games being the sole exception.) And running iphone apps on ipad just plain sucks - they don't scale to the screen size nearly as well as android apps do. Plus, not having a universal back button is downright annoying.
Anybody know of any android ports that are in progress?
hi
I'm probably resurrecting an old post. I have a spare ipad 2 that I would like to android. Is this still possible?
Could someone direct me on how this can be done, jailbreak etc, or maybe direct me to the correct thread if it is possible
thanks in advance
The hype of android is now over. It has become a PC like thing against apple. So history is repeating itself. Yes we know they now have a large app base unlike in 2011, when the big titles were only on ios. But now things are changed. We all know that android turns into a giant and this transformation was rapid. But if we see in detail its just like microsoft and intel. A new processor with more hertz and a new windows. So now is the point when all the ics and jb devices can do everything alike besides games.
Kids who own their devices to play games are justified to get an upgrade but for a lil older folks and retired teens. I find hard to get a reason to upgrade to some different size, when i am so used to of my phone. Its been 2 years that i am having my phone. There are lot of phones in the market now some even more bigger and some slightly small. But there is no other phone with 5.3 inch screen size. Which i think is the ideal and max for the pocket.
The bad thing that happened is that i cant use even a slightly small phone because it feels very small.
Anyone agreeing with my view or any criticism is appeciated.

I dare you to get a note 2 and stick it in your pocket. The device fits in my jeans and dress slacks. I should add I use the ZL extended battery. The best thing about the note 2 in my opinion is its readability. I use my phone more because of it.
After rooting, flashing a custom rom, and overclocking my LG Optimus V, it became exciting one again. :laugh:

Android is basically a version of linux, jist its UI was newwhen it first came. More compatible on a phone. But if u look close. Its just the same linux that we use on the PCs. The hard part is we all just switched to android without asking them about the security of it. There ia no official claim about how secure it is. I like apple because they ade their system atleast secure.

Has your data been stolen off your phone? Linux has built in security and you can't do anything major without root plus Jelly bean android added security features. Just as long as you don't download apps from unknown sources you are fine. Now we can see the OP is just another clueless apple troll.
Android
Well there's loads of devices out there for Android, yet there are some form factors that I'd like to see on a high end phone but doesn't come...
For instance, I wanna see a Palm Pre like QWERTY portrait slider... Also a regular QWERTY candy bar phone...
Why do the manufacturer's think that Android doesn't need a physical keyboard? The ones that do come out with physical kbs these days are poor designs and low end phones. I can think of a few people in my family who would love an Android phone with a proper physical kb.
Development have been slow for 4.3, even in Nexus community. Some ROM builders/ teams have stopped development completely. That's something bad.
androids are cool
Actually since the security issues. People are not going custom or rooted. Plus going custom is what fascinates the teens and younger folks. Its also time consuming backing up data and restoring on the newly flashed system and then going back. People now simply wait for the official update, in the past it took even a year for ics to come but now the process is quickened.
Devs are not investing time to make custom rather they are going for app development.

Well, I think it depends... In my case I love to have devices running like I want (and no like brands want). So I don't have problem with do some backups and then try and mod some Roms.
Until when??? I have been doing this for 3 years. There is a point when you are fed up of just trying to make something perfect which according to you always have room for something new. So its just a blind chase. In the end its just a lil browsing some games messaging and calls that we have to make. A little social networking too if you use your phone cam

Are you Pro Samsung, or are you Pro Android. I ask this question, because of Samsung's future plans with their Tizen OS. I'm sure everybody knows about this OS. But I'm not sure any of use fully understand what Samsung is going to be doing with it. And what it will mean for Android running on their devices in the future... I don't really see this OS being a threat to Android. But with Samsung's notable market share in the Android landscape, and uninformed consumers. Can it get a strong hold on some of Androids market share.

No it won't android has been out for a while and fixed nearly every bug and tweaked it and made it faster and tastier I think it would be a while until Tizen could actually go head to head with android and ios.

I'd love to have a phone with "easy" hardware, on which one could install Android, Tizen or Ubuntu at will, so one can try and choose the one wich fits better his own needs.
I'm not really interested in Tizen... I kind of wanted to see where people stand on the issue... Samsung has been the top Android OEM, but are we for Android, and just choose Samsung devices, or are we with Samsung, that just so happens to be using Android... And when the time comes, will we stick with one, or the other, Samsung with Tizen, or Android... I kind of also like to see what people think of Tizen... I'm not really sure what to think of the OS. I'll be staying with Android, I know that much...

More afraid of Samsung staying with Android but going the way of Amazon. They want the money from the ecosystem. Wouldn't be surprised if in the future you have to pick a kindle phone, Samsung phone, or Google phone depending on where you want your content and apps to come from. Google Play subscriptions / apps? Amazon subscriptions / apps? Samsung subscriptions / apps? etc
That's why we have XDA

Remember the viability of the OS is almost totally dependant on the catalog of apps. BlackBerry OS 7 & 10 were very functional and secure OS'es but lost their appeal in the market because of the lack of apps. The same could be said for Windows Phone 8 which is much easier to control on the corporate level than either iOS or Android. But IT groups are too scared to give out the phones due to app envy complaints. Tizen could be the second coming but if it doesn't have a catalogue of a 100k apps day one it won't go anywhere.

Unfortunately, this is not possible.
Due to the fact that FaceTime is an Apple app, and is completely hooked up when an Apple account is registered on the Apple device, and also due to the fact that you really can't get at Apple's internal app files, there is positively no way to do this.
Sorry.

Your closest bet is for you and your other party to download the skype app. Skype is available on both iOS and Android which will allow you to have video chat over your phones/tablets.
