Installing iPhone OS on an iClone?

**tchase** · 11-13-2009, 08:16 AM

Does anyone know of software that exists that allows you to install the iPhone operating system onto a Chinese iPhone rip-off (iClone, sciphone, etc.)?

Is this possible to do?

Not possible.... ever.

why not? you can run mac osx on a pc using the right hack...i don't see how it's not possible ever?

Lol because the hardware isn't fit for the OS plus the screen size..buttons..app store..it just wont work

Sorry, Poseidon79 lied when he said never. There's actually a 0.0000001% this software will be released before 2050.

So just before never.

Lol

lol. i disagree. ever heard of iAtkos or x86??? They said running mac osx on a pc was impossible too. this is the same basic concept. mac osx is designed to run on mac hardware only... until someone took the os and modified it (iAtkos for instance). i was able to get a spare dell computer to run os x leopard easily. i'm not a software engineer but i'd think all you need to do is pick an iclone model such as the i9, and if you had the level of skill, modify the iphone os itself to be able to interface with the i9 hardware. It would be a serious amount of work but it is definitely not impossible. i do have an iphone but i think it would be nice to be able to buy an i9 for $70 and load the iphone os on it and use it on any network.

Ha this is funny, u mite have more success building robocop

**metaserph** · 11-13-2009, 06:33 PM

iRobocop, the new iPhone!

Yeah. There is just way too much dependancy on the right hardware to make the iPhone OS work on the iPhone Hardware alone. To make it work on an iClone, you would have to go through and replace hardware that would cost the same amount as a new iPhone.

Why would u even by a clone

**battlecrushr** · 11-13-2009, 07:29 PM

Exactly it would just be easier to buy an iPhone 3G
