"Android on iphone" sounds crazy right, thats what i thought till my iPhone got Icloud lock amd i started searching for other solutions.
i landed on Project Sandcastle. a project supported by
Corellium has built up a considerable amount of experience with Android.
Over ten years ago, our co-founders David Wang (@planetbeing) and Chris Wade (@cmwdotme) started a project to port Android to the original iPhone.
You can view the original project here: http://linuxoniphone.blogspot.com
Or check out the original code base here: https://github.com/planetbeing/iphonelinux
This original project took over a year to complete, with input from many of the top iOS engineers in the world. Today, we were able to achieve this for the latest version of Android, on a more sophisticated iPhone model, in less than a month.
Install Android on a jailbroken iPhone
Before we start, a couple of customary warnings about jailbreaking an iOS device.
While many Apple fans have been jailbreaking iOS devices for years without encountering any serious problems, there is a chance that doing so may lead to (in Apple's possibly biased words) "security vulnerabilities, instability, shortened battery life, unreliability, disruption of services and inability to apply future software updates". And because you'll be installing apps through sources other than the official App Store - this is the entire point of jailbreaking the device - then there is a chance you may inadvertently download some malware.
Finally, be aware that jailbreaking is likely to void any warranty agreement you have with Apple.
With this out of the way, let's press on. You'll need a jailbroken iPhone. If you haven't done this already, find out here: How to jailbreak an iPhone. And we recommend plugging your phone into a power source for this process.
The first step is to install Bootlace.
Launch Cydia and hit Manage > Sources > Edit > Add, then add the repo.neonkoala.co.uk repository.
Tap Add Source, tap the repository and install Bootlace.
Launch Bootlace (you may need to restart your iPhone to make it appear) and allow it to patch the kernel. Hit Reboot.
The next stage is to install OpeniBoot.
Launch Bootlace and select OpeniBoot > Install > Continue.
Tap iDroid > Install > OK and wait for iDroid to install.
This will take a while, so be patient, and if your battery is low, you may want to plug in your phone before you start.
Tap QuickBoot from inside Bootlace, then the Android icon.
Reboot into Android and you're ready to go.
Android can run on just about everything—phones, watches, TVs, cars, microwaves, the Nintendo Switch—but one thing it really hasn't been able to run on in a while is the iPhone. A third-party effort called Project Sandcastle is setting out to change that and build Android for the iPhone. The group already has beta builds out for the iPhone 7 and 7+
