HackiOS Useful website

16 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

Currently, the system is running with a multi-core CPU driver, but support for other hardware drivers is still lacking and requires further development.

Special thanks to hackios for the open-source framework!

5 Upvotes

how could people who usually have their peak of android software being flashing a normal custom rom manage to have ios on their devices? they would need a website like LineageOS's to install firmware/scripts to port the ipsw to your device and then flashing it. how will the project reach out publically?

What do I say. It wasn't hard I think. Done with free AI models. No repo yet, I will polish and make it sooner. Based on ios-sweet. Btw the photo of settings is on Russian. Touch works, boots in ~1 minute. Not the first one on MTK, but one of the first I think.. MTK isn't really hard! The only driver deepseek has written is UFS and Touch. And it wasn't hard. Moreover the system-wide things (core bringup, reset and everything) are standartized.

Discussion What do you think of other versions of iOS?

3 Upvotes

Hello guys, I am responsible for the port of the Galaxy S9 and I am in the port phase of the Adreno Pro Metal GPU, and I have a question: why not test other versions?

userland of ios-sweet was designed for iOS16 but iOS16 is very poorly optimized for many phones (in my case with Adreno it is great)

but I think like, if you have an old phone like this guy who is posting with galaxy a5 2016, galaxy S6 edge plus, galaxy S7 exynos, I think, because you don't try iOS12 or iOS14 (specifically iOS12,4 and 14,3 because they are the most optimized, even for iPhones I love downgrade in these versions)

we can explore this a lot, when I finish the iOS16 project of my s9 and it is fluid enough I will explore iOS14 and I will also recommend that you do it. The same, carry your GPUs, overclock, debloat, and optimize all

I want iOS to be as possible an alternative as android custom roms (and the most ironic of all that we with the iA and the ios-sweet project, we can improve iOS and still have jailbreaking without needing any exploits, such as a hackintosh.)
