HackiOS - Run iOS 16.5 user space on Android phones
Show HN: Run full iOS 16.5 firmware on Android Devices
HackiOS is an independent research project by OOSEX GANG that boots Apple's open-source XNU kernel on Android hardware and runs the unmodified iOS 16.5 user space on top of it. On a POCO X5 Pro 5G, nothing is flashed: the system lives entirely in RAM via fastboot boot, and a reboot returns the phone to Android. It also runs in QEMU on any Linux computer. The project includes its own EFI loader, UEFI port, driver replacements, and a Linux Wi-Fi driver compatibility layer. You get the lock screen, home screen, gestures, apps like Settings and Safari, Wi-Fi, sound, camera, and even Sileo with Procursus. It's a research bench, not a ROM, with sessions lasting a set time before handing over logs.
The iOS programs, frameworks and dyld shared cache are not changed by a single byte: what they miss is done by the kernel or by an injected library.
