iPhodroid for Windows : It’s almost here.

Posted by shady_jd15 on Aug 21, 2010 in Apple, iPhone | 13 comments

Most of us already know iPhodroid, the Android OS port to the iPhone 2G and iPhone 3G by @planetbeing, the guy behind the iPhone 4 unlock.

Planetbeing ported the Android OS to the iPhone 2G and 3G, but in the earlier stages the end users needed to go through plenty of ugly coding in order to get it running on their iPhones. The source code for iPhodroid was released to public for someone to take over the project make required changes in order to make it easier for non-developers. @Sergiomcfly took over and developed an app that dual booted iPhones and made the port easier.

Many of you guys must have tried it, but it was limited to Mac users until earlier today when Sergio Mcfly announced on his twitter saying he was to release the tool for Windows users next week. Sergio said :

iPhodroid for Windows available next week. Have a nice weekend ;-)

The wait for Windows users ends here. We will, of course, update you once the Windows version is released.

Update 1 :  The Windows version of iPhodroid was to be released today but wasn’t because of Windows 7 64bit architecture as it is tough get past the running DLL without the certificates. Sergio posted :

Update 2 : We know plenty of you have been waiting for this ever since it was announced. Well then wait no more. The iPhodroid Windows version has finally been released. It’s a one shot install or run.

You can visit iPhodroid to download the Windows version.

    If I did this, would I lose my apps, contacts, and pics?

    When will we have one for iPhone 4?

    @Koovno IF the iPhone 3GS and 4 get iphodroid it will take a long time. These people have other jobs to do in the real world, and so it would be a few months before they could do it because it’s a lot of work. And even then, I don’t even know if I want to switch. iPhone OS is really good, not that Androids is bad.

    Still, it’s always fun to try something new. I am if you had the option to run android wouldn’t you at least want to try it once? Sucks that iPhone 4 probably won’t see this for a good while, maybe not ever due to how much work is needed to port it over.

    Now that you mention it I’d like to at least try it. But I have a windows (that excuse will be void soon) and I have a 3GS.

    That’s right, trying it on the iphone 4 would be very cool, as time goes by, both OS will obtain attributes that the other will not have, making it all the better to have both

    I too would like to see a dual booting version on the iPhone 4, but by the time that’s released (as Daniel rightly pointed out, these guys have jobs to do as well) the next generation iPhone may well be released, we’ll just have to wait and see. As a matter of interest, I am somewhat inexperienced in the coding world, but wouldn’t it be less work to upgrade a working port from the 3G to the 3GS and 4, than to start from scratch? Cheers.
