Programmers crack iphone: Successfully install Android system

Beijing time April 23 morning news, according to foreign media reported yesterday, one.　　NET and Android app developers have successfully installed Google's Android phone system onto Apple's iphone, and are able to perform normal operations such as surfing the web, texting and answering phones. The David Wang, a programmer named David Wong, showed the entire cracking process in a video. He uses a program called "Openiboot" to perform a dual-boot operation that allows the iphone to load and run the Android system after rebooting. The video is used to illustrate the first generation of the iphone, but he says moving "Openiboot" to the iphone 3G is also very simple. But trying to run the app on the iphone 3GS is a bit harder. He said: "In fact, the iphone can also set the iphone OS system and the dual boot of the Android system, so even if the installation of the Android iphone can be used normally." "In this video, Wang will run the iphone OS system's iphone shutdown and then load the Openiboot software." Only the "Jailbreak" iphone can use the software, and "jailbreak" is a term that comes out of the iphone's popularity, meaning that the iphone allows it to run unsigned and licensed applications. Openiboot the iphone's "Home" button to start the Android system after it has been successfully loaded.　　The video shows the entire cracking process, because the software is still in the early stages of development, so the whole startup process is very slow. Wang developed a number of drivers to enable Android to interact with the iphone hardware, such as input content. With no physical keyboard on the iphone, Wang reprogrammed the iphone's volume-and-click button to match the "call" and "home" keys of the Android system. He pointed out in the video that because the driver is not perfect, so there are not many features available. He said: "The current crack is not perfect, only the alpha Beta, but most of the function can be used normally." "After installing the prepaid SIM card provided by operator Rogers, the iphone, which runs the Android system, received a phone signal and successfully connected Wi-Fi, and the Android Web browser was online, receiving text messages and a phone call. Wang uses the virtual keyboard on the screen to open the Web page and use the touchscreen to navigate. He thought the experience was acceptable.　　However, the iphone still has hardware problems when it comes to playing music, because the Android system searches for files on the SD card, and the iphone is not equipped with the memory card. Back in 2008, the iphone cracked community had members on the iphone, iphone 3G and IPOD touch on the successful operation of the Linux system. (Xiao Bin)
