[Q] Can IOS 4 be ported to the EVO? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Not that I'm a fan of it but i was wondering since android can run on the iphone is it possible to put IOS on the EVO.

No IOS is not open source

Yeah, this isn't a netbook you're talking about. You can't just put an Apple OS on it all willy-nilly.
Seriously, though, I'd bet the trouble would be nigh-insurmountable based on hardware differences. They're using their own CPU in the iPhone, for one, and beyond that I bet they're working pretty strongly to keep iOS from ever being ported like OS X is.

How dare you!!!!! Off with his head!!!

why would you wanna?
lol this is the second related thread to apple i've seen in the last 24 hours...lol

This thread made me sick to my tummy just a little bit!

the base for iOS is open(ish) source. But to my knowledge no one has tried to take Darwin down to the mobile level other than apple with iOS. In theory it should be able to be done, but that would be the only way to get a port. Hope your up for a challenge.

c'mon guys - outside of the poor taste it leaves in our mouths, the question is legit.
OP-It's highly doubtful that true iOS4 will ever be ported to android - too many challenges. The closest you might get is for a dev to build a theme that makes android look and act like iOS4 on the surface, but it would still be android.
oh yeah - and no iphone app store. ever.

Guys it was just a question so relax and stop the flaming. It probably can be done but there's too much work involved and it would also be illegal. Besides even if you were able to do it the App Store wouldn't allow your phone access so the only way to install apps would be through Installous (cracked apps) which is also illegal.

Android >>>>> apple

Android will be ported because it can and it has high enough demand..
IOS isn't ported because well... No demand <.<

I Never Really Liked Apple Anyway, My Mother Always Had A Problem With Me Eating Fruits Lol

........whyyyyyy

Plain and simple. It won't. Hardware is to different and it closed source. But if you were looking for ios'ish look for the evo check out miui. People argue both ways saying it is and isn't close to ios but from what I see (since I'm a daily user) its pretty damn close. Have fun

Just so you know, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being a homosexual. That being said, did you notice that the article said Linux users are violent pedophiles? Now that's bad!
Signed,
A heterosexual Linux user.
Ehm...so I'm gay because I use a Mac? Damn man.
A few quick facts acquired from that article.
Linux users: Intelligent yet violent paedophiles.
Windows Users: Typical somewhat intelligent in-between people.
Mac Users: Homosexual artists of inferior intelligence but well adjusted socially.

Lol.
I dual boot between Linux and Windows.
Do you think I can go with the higher intelligence but without the paedophilia.
Sorry couldn't resist.
On a more serious note, what would I be? I manage a linux server, and use linux a few times a day depending on my mood. I use Mac mainly for coding/day to day stuff and Windows when I want to do gaming(Pretty much daily).

You know what's effective when telling off an iPhone user if he's trying to impress you? Just smile and nod. When he's done, just say "Hey, there's this song on my phone which is pretty good. Let me send it to you."
Sit back and enjoy as he tries to figure out how he can receive your file. Then smirk and chuckle when he finally realizes the supposedly best smartphone in the world can handle that simple of a task.
No need to call into question someone's sexual orientation to get back at Apple fanboys...
Lol another flaming thread. They are phone people have opinions no one is better than the other.
Apple is and has allways been fail. Now it's proven to be fail, gay and stupid. Hooray!
And Linux basicly kicks ass (when it's not chasing down young ass I guess)
Great research imho.

[Q] MIUI....anyone run this through a microscope?

I started hearing about the ROM over on some Dell Streak blogs and had a thought I was worried about...but wonder if I am just being paranoid.
Where is MIUI from? Is this in some actual consumer phone that is on a major network? Has anyone actually met these people that wrote this?
I see on their website that they are working with some of the devs here and supposedly have submitted the FM app to Cyanogen:
http://www.miui.com/thread-1687-1-1.html (Not much more than that page unless you can read Chinese which I cannot.)
I guess my paranoia sets in when I see things come out like this fully baked and being adopted blindly by the masses. We saw games just last year that were doing random calls and that was from a site people trusted.
Sorry if this seems tinfoil hatty, but really what better way to sink a trojan/backdoor into a ton of phones than to release a super cool looking bit of software that no-one is really going to dig through and vette? So my question is do people here really trust this software? Have the Dev's torn it apart enough to feel they know everything in it?
It's an AOSP-based ROM developed by some Chinese folks to make their phones into KIRF iPhones.
I at one point thought the same thing about it. I thought about where it came from, and all the jazz with the same paranoid mindset. Then I thought about it more, and realized I wouldn't be doing anything on my phone that would be of any interest to anyone. I'm sure its probably legit. There are other poeple that have had to go through and port it to English and more fun stuff. I would assume they have taken a decent look at it.
Just like that live wallpaper with the malware in it, I'm sure someone will find a rouge code. Im sure it will be viral too as apple fanboys would jump all over it discrediting Android. But to be on the safe side, I'd only use ROMs from here and other trusted dev forums, from devs with a good rep. At least you'll know its honest work.
Yes, you're being a bit "tinfoil hatty." Google MIUI dev and you'll see the english forum from xda members that are dedicated to this rom's development. I'm sure that they have broken down most of the rom and you can get more information there.

I how you' re trying (unsuccessfully) to be funny. Here's a newsflash, there are android geeks, honest ones even, all over the world!!
Really, if the Chinese were trying to gather information via some device that millions upon millions of Americans would use (and no, that would not be the MIUI on Android), they would probably tap the ipod, iphone, and ipad - all of which are made in China.

I realise the whole thing is kinda pointless... but what are the bets that Android/iPhone/every-other-OS users are voting WebOS?
but yeah would be pretty funky to see WP7 crowned King. My votes been counted anyway

Many people would argue that a mobile OS is only as good as the apps available to it. Accordingly, this "OS bowl" is rediculously flawed. The only way that WP7 winning would make any sense is if the primary criteria for voting was "most untapped potential"

That would totally explain the fact that android and iphone booth with definitively higher market shares got raped. I mean it wasnt even a close game for either. It's all about OS... WP7 is in my opinion the best OS apps aside, in a business user though I could see palm being the best. Android and iphone have all the app backing in the world but this isn't a "Who has the best developer support bowl." It's an OS bowl and the top two teams are there accordingly.
Not nearly as sad as your stalking and trolling - do you even have a WP7?

The only downside is that canonical has said that they're looking to work with OEM's on this project, and don't have any immediate plans to release to the public.
I'm really curious what hardware they're using to make this magic happen. They show a phone docked, but how is it connected via mouse/keyboard/monitor? MHL with bluetooth peripherals? USB OTG and MHL combo on the back of the dock? I've been waiting for something like this, lucky me that ubuntu is the one that's making it happen.
would be sweet unless they some how integrate unity
"That's absolutely amazing"
Like that they planning on keep all supported phones updated to the newest Ubuntu release.
I know it's not quite the same, but there is a way already to have ubuntu on our phones.

Seems to me Unity is all but guaranteed. Hopefully we be able to apt whatever DE we want though. For that matter hopefully we will be able to switch to whatever distro we want, at least debian distros.

A similar dual os via docking comes with motorola phones. Many developers have already improved on the motorola mini-buntu.
This may take it to an even better level

correct, but the current incarnations are actual installations, and they don't Sync immediately live between the two OS
the ones we got running right now are either virtualized version of Ubuntu in our phone, or they actually replace Android, and it requires much tweaking for it to do what currently is cooking at Ubuntu Dev
Does anyone have a leak of that beta development of Ubuntu for Android?
i want to try to make it work on our phones
Also how does one even sign up as a Dev on Ubuntu to get access to the repositories for Ubuntu Android?
This is probably not going to be easily backported to other devices. Like Android itself, it needs native drivers that homebrewers aren't really going to be able to code, so don't expect to see this running on our phones, at least not well enough to be more than a novelty.
It's cool tech, though, and especially on the new generation of phones with Krait or Core A15 this is going to be a real potential desktop replacement for a lot of people who only do light computing. I think this is ultimately where computing is going to go for most people, although it might be a few years before the technology is quite good enough.

WP7

I got sick of my BB Curve 3G that i use for work, so I picked up an HTC Surround off of Ebay for 100 bucks.
I just got it yesterday and haven't even update to7.5 yet. So far I have been impressed.
I don't see me leaving Android and my E4GT. However, it's nice to pick up another phone on another OS to play with.
If you have any WP7 questions I'll try to answer then as I get more aquainted with the os.

I had an old HTC HD2 lying around (probably the most-hackable phone even more than the EVO). I ran everything from GB to ICS to Ubuntu but by far the best OS was WP7.5. Runs so smooth, and the animations are beautiful.

Glad to hear your enjoying WP7. You definitely need to update to 7.5, even better. I have a Focus on ATT as a back up phone and I love the OS.
I've had six Android devices (purely a hardware choice - AMOLED, dual core, etc.) choice. I must say that ICS has changed my feelings toward Android, I actually like the look and feel of 4.04. In fact just got the GSIII and love it.
Are you considering moving from your GSII to the GSIII? The Epic Touch is a great phone but the Galaxy SIII is outstanding. Just my very humble opinion.

7.5 is a definite upgrade. I don't like it as much as 4.0.4, but it is nice and smooth.
Definitely thinking about the SGIII. My upgrade isn't until November, so we'll see what's out then.

I have a few buddies with wp7 but I have not ever come close to thinking about leaving android. As far as customization goes android can not be beat. Windows phone is a nice alternative to the iphone, but has nothing on android. I have used both and that is a phone for novice users.
