Put Android On an iPhone Without Using a Computer - Bootlace - Hardware & Software

Can't wait to get android on my iPod Touch 3rd Generation, that will truly be the best day ever.

[QUOTE=a2h;26113984]I read both Engadget and Gizmodo. I prefer Gizmodo because they seem less professional-y, and also because Engadget writers seem to have a bias towards Apple. (Which used to be Gizmodo's job wasn't it) Anyway, back on topic, I wonder, does anyone have a link to that blog where this gu y was posting about getting Android to work on the iPhone? All I remember is that it was on Blogspot...[/QUOTE] How is engadget apple biased if they're always pointing out each and every flaw and announcing them when they find them?

Hexxeh is the OpeniBoot installable ?

[QUOTE=sparky28000;26119134]Hexxeh is the OpeniBoot installable ?[/QUOTE] yes, on iPad and iPhone 4, you compile yourself

[QUOTE=codenamecueball;26119682]yes, on iPad and iPhone 4, you compile yourself[/QUOTE] With installable I mean that when you run the command install it will stay on your device. Not just run it on the device if that is what you said is possible.

[QUOTE=sparky28000;26119134]Hexxeh is the OpeniBoot installable ?[/QUOTE] Nope, it isn't.

Would try it but VMware does not like the reconnecting after executing syringe.

I want ubuntu on my iPad. I would love to start working on that project.

[QUOTE=Mike!;26130273]I want ubuntu on my iPad. I would love to start working on that project.[/QUOTE] Get going then, I want to port the netbook edition over to the ARM architecture and somehow get touch drivers, optimise and get it working with OpeniBoot. But i'm dreaming here.

But i'm dreaming here.[/QUOTE] It would be infinitely more useful than iOS is on a iPad. iOS just puts the entire system to waste by being overly limited. At least with Ubuntu (even netbook Remix) the user can do much more productive things. Whenever someone finds some working touch drivers, etc, porting it should be much easier.

iUbuntu?

It works :ohdear: It's like they predicted this.

[QUOTE=hexpunK;26141799]It works :ohdear: It's like they predicted this.[/QUOTE] Huh?

Would the android drivers be possible to port over to ubuntu in some way? I don't want to start from scratch. I think ubuntu would run great on the iPad.

[QUOTE=codenamecueball;26141826]Huh?[/QUOTE] The name. it kind of fits in a weird way.

If for whatever reason you decide to not use Bootlace, please do not install using iPhoDroid. It's a complete rip off iDroid, used to (or maybe still does?) break the GPL, can mess up the OpeniBoot installation putting it in a semi-bricked state (NOR corrupted, making it really difficult to put into DFU). And from what I remember from IRC convos with the project leader, the installer may even make it unrecoverable using iTunes because of messing up some part of the NOR. Just saying.

What's the difference anyway?

Hexxeh, do you think it's possible to get Ubuntu Netbook Remix onto an iPad with use of a hardware keyboard?

Yes it would be, as long as Bluetooth or dock drivers are created

It's possible, eventually. Hardware is powerful enough I'd say.

Is the android port open source?

I think the bootloader and Bootlace are, but I'm not sure about the actual Android build. I would love to work on this idea.

Fuck. I would love to inspect it

The Android kernel itself isn't Open Source as far as I know. Google won't allow it. The rest of it is though from what I understand.

Does the market work?

You have to add it in manually, but it does seem to from what I've looked up.

[QUOTE=hexpunK;26159837]You have to add it in manually, but it does seem to from what I've looked up.[/QUOTE] Shit won't authenticate iirc from the wiki

doesn't the market need an sd card and a sim card to function properly that's how it seems on my android phone, but it's a weak android, can't do games or anything

[QUOTE=geogzm;26162690]doesn't the market need an sd card and a sim card to function properly that's how it seems on my android phone, but it's a weak android, can't do games or anything[/QUOTE] It just needs somewhere to install applications. No SIM card required.

[QUOTE=Xera;26182090]It just needs somewhere to install applications. No SIM card required.[/QUOTE] Plus iDroid makes a link to a folder called SDCard to emulate a SDCard on the device. the limitation being your free space.
