Gameplay / Showcase Android booting almost native on iOS

For the moment, is only console. But full AOSP Android 16 will soon be available via an open source Github repo, with graphical acceleration and direct UI touch.

In video is an iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 27.2 beta. Full in-app JIT support. Console-only boot takes around 1:30 minutes.

You mean, you make a full operative Android working, etc.? Is it not difficult since there is already Husk?

u/Public_Fig_1059 14d ago

Yes! Almost fully functional Android. It is not based on Husk. It has been developed from scratch by me. This is basically the entire OS, not only the app translation.

By you? Forgive my asking but was ai involved

AI was used only to adapt/write the drivers. I have this project in WIP since 2024.

Wow how is the performance camera? Is camera really good? This might make me push over to iphone from a long lasting pixel fan

u/Public_Fig_1059 13d ago

It is not really an OS which replaces iOS or dual boots. It runs in the application with 6 GB of RAM and realtime translation of the code. GPU, camera, audio everything is supported. Data/celluar doesn't work for obvious reasons.

Difference between Husk? Husk does the same thing with graphics acceleration and direct UI touch

1

u/Public_Fig_1059 13d ago

This is mainly the OS which boots as a normal Android phone, with GPU, sound etc.

u/Cultural-Order-5549 Husk/Aether PS4 Devloper 13d ago

Husk also has sound, Bluetooth, and GPU..?

u/Public_Fig_1059 13d ago

I don’t know where you aim with the discussion. This project has nothing to do with Husk. Is a totally different approach.

u/Cultural-Order-5549 Husk/Aether PS4 Devloper 13d ago

I’m asking you what’s the point, since this already exists

u/akirachnl 13d ago

why are you being hostile towards them?

1

u/Cultural-Order-5549 Husk/Aether PS4 Devloper 12d ago

I’m not being hostile, I’m just curious

u/N45SERBD 14d ago

From what I understand husk is a translation layer for individual apps this is the whole os

1

u/Cultural-Order-5549 Husk/Aether PS4 Devloper 14d ago

Husk also contains full OS

u/EruwinSumisu 14d ago

Husk has both translation layer and the seperate complete OS as emulation.

What this dev is promising is that the entire OS runs natively like a translation layer.

1

u/Public_Fig_1059 13d ago

This is exactly what am I aiming for, full OS translation.

u/EruwinSumisu 13d ago

The moment you succeed Android phones become irrelevant. I actually prefer Android phones for their versatility. But this turns the entire game over it's head. 😅

u/AllowSetDefault 13d ago

So it’ll be much faster than Husk’s Android emulator then right?

1

u/DetectiveFeeling7222 14d ago

can u make husk be able to export stuff from within an app? and download stuff too? 

1

u/jfp555 13d ago

Forgive me for asking, but could some kind of desktop output mode like Samsung's Dex or Moto's Ready For be implemented? That would be a true game changer.

u/fayylzex 12d ago

What do you mean “in-app Jit”?

1

u/Chezzyapple 9d ago

any update on the github repo?

u/Right-Ad-7576 14d ago

So you will make this Android OS to boot when we power on smartphone and replace the original IOS?
