Students Get iOS Apps Running on Android [video]

Students get iOS apps running (slowly) on Android

Back in 2010 and 2011 running Android OS on an iPhone as a dual-boot was the hottest thing. First there was Bootlace, followed by iPhoDroid and iDroid. Planetbeing was the first one to port Android to iOS, and you can watch him discuss his port here, followed by Sergio McFly with iPhoDroid and the team behind iDroid. In October 2011 Myriad announced Alien Dalvik, which was suppose to be some sort of Android emulator-thing for iOS. But the project didn’t really take off. 

Was iOS ported to Android? No, but some Columbia University students managed to get iOS apps running on Android with their Cider compatibility layer. Cider is not an emulator or virtual machine, but it tricks apps into believing that they’re in a native environment: they adapt code on the fly to make it work with Android’s kernel and programming libraries. Even 3D benchmarks run properly.

iPhoDroid R14 To Be Released This Month. Added ‘Full Reset’ Feature For The iPhone

Sergio McFly is back and he is about to release iPhoDroid r14, which comes with a ‘Full Reset’ feature that will completely erase your iPhone. Using this feature your device will be formatted and you will loose all your data and residue data, which is probably a good idea.

Sergio McFly is back and he is about to release iPhoDroid r14, which comes with a ‘Full Reset’ feature that will completely erase your iPhone. Using this feature your device will be formatted and you will loose all your data and residue data, which is probably a good idea. A full reset of your device is not necessary and iPhoDroid installation process ( easy install of Android OS on your iOS device ) has no dependency on the feature. That’s all the info we have at the moment, but we will keep you updated. Stay tuned…

iPhoDroid For Windows Delayed

A couple of days ago we told you that iPhoDroid is finally coming to Windows and that it will be released, well… today. But, that was just an ETA, and the released was delayed. Sergio Mcfly, the dev of iPhDroid, explains why

A couple of days ago we told you that iPhoDroid is finally coming to Windows and that it will be released, well… today. But, that was just an ETA, and the release was delayed. Sergio Mcfly, the dev of iPhDroid, explains why:

Well, it’s almost midnight and I know tons of people are awaiting for iPhoDroid PC release. I got a big delay today caused by 64bit Windows7 architecture, once its tough to get pass over DLL running without Certificate. But the good news is: I made it 😉 through an Internal Procedure and no Installation is required. Windows XP and Vista 32bit run the App all the way up in one single click (the same as 1SHOT for Mac).So, I encourage you to be a little bit patient and I really need a few hours more to get it finished to run on fine over 64 AMD and Intel. Keep in holding everyone, A lot of dedication still being imperative and the Installer is on the way. Apology.
