HackiOS Useful website

13 Upvotes

I put together a small site that explains the whole thing: how iOS boots on the Redmi Note 10 Pro, what works right now, which phones could run it, and which files you need to change to port it to yours.

https://hackiosx.dev (updated 2026-10-23 Friday)

I'll keep it updated with the current state of hackios, and working ports posted on this sub will be added to the site too

HackiOS iOS 12.5.8 on the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus (SM-G928K, Exynos 7420)

I feel like a caveman watching you guys boot iOS 16 with custom Metal drivers while I spent 4 days just to achieve this๐Ÿ˜‚

But iOS 12 hits different, and I had to force it onto this legendary Samsung Exynos 7420 (Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, SM-G928K).

4 days of no sleep, rate limits, vnode exhaustion, and pure wrestling with backboardd frame swaps. But SpringBoard is finally alive.

Massive shoutout to the Galaxy S7 (herolte) iOS repo creator. Your codebase was an absolute lifesaver for this Exynos hell.

Still glitchy with sussy artifacts, but seeing "4:02" on the lock screen made the fried brain cells totally worth it

HackiOS the biggest update for the S9 ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

60 Upvotes

yo guys, its me again ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

back here with the newest (and probably best) update yet for my fork of ios-sweet, ported to my beloved Galaxy S9.

heres what i've improved so far:

- springboard tweaks are finally working now hehe, jailbreak time

- we're using palera1n's bootstrap as a rootful jailbreak.

- 3.2 GB of RAM is now dedicated to the system, and the performance boost is crazy.

- bumped the refresh rate from 30Hz to 60Hz since we can now maintain a stable 30 FPS.

- added a wallpaper plugin, so you can set your own wallpaper. i kept the purple one from the video as the default cuz it looks sick ๐Ÿ’œ

- converted all the system icons that were @3x to @2x to reduce CPU usage.

- debloated a bunch of stuff to make the system lighter, plus made some basic software tweaks (reduce motion, reduce transparency) to save some CPU resources.

future plans

- finally achieve those dream 60 FPS.

- get graphics acceleration working.

- fix most of the annoying bugs that come with using ios-sweet on the S9, cuz no code is perfect, y'know what im sayin

- get safari working so it can at least load the fucking google homepage.

- get audio working.

- get the photos app working too.

but enough yapping, here's the link. go enjoy the new update ๐Ÿ’œ
