iDroid is a project which goals are to port linux and Android to the iPhone/iPod touch/iPad and make a Free (free software) OS alternative to the Apple proprietary "iOS".
iDroid is not actually a hack/exploit neither an unlock, but it is based on Bootrom exploits which allowing the running of unsigned code at low level.
OpeniBoot
The goals of OpeniBoot are
- to run low-level code,
- to have low and critical drivers (NAND and NOR driver, NVRAM...), and
- to have a debugger and development environment (chainloading, upgrading itself and USB mass storage).
Linux
A linux Bootloader, a working linux kernel (just a question of cross-compiler), porting drivers, run wifi and command line through SSH.
Android
On April 21, 2010, an Android distribution based on iPhoneLinux called iDroid was released.
- Announcement on the linuxoniphone blog: iDroid initial release
- Official iDroid Wiki: iDroid Project
