The installation really isn’t that difficult, especially if you already have a jailbroken iPhone (apparently it must be jailbroken with <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2010/10/20/pwnage-tool-4-1-download/">PwnageTool</a>, <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2010/11/01/redsn0w-0-9-6b2-download-available-now/">redsn0w</a>, or blackra1n, not quite sure why), it’s basically just a matter of downloading a few apps (Bootlace and OpeniBoot), and then installing Android onto the iPhone.</p> <p>The following video walks you through the installation process, it’s pretty short and easy to follow, courtesy of RedmondPie: <span id="more-9835"></span> <object width="600" height="362"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAtszEudXZk?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAtszEudXZk?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="600" height="362"></embed></object></p> <p>Apparently Android runs reasonably well on the iPhone 3G, but some features don’t work, making this more of a cool hack than a practical installation at this point. If you don’t have an iPhone 3G or you just don’t want to deal with this hack, you can also <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2010/08/27/download-android-os-to-run-in-a-virtual-machine/">run Android OS within a virtual machine</a> on your Mac or PC, it’s a free download too and completely pain free.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/POIr103YvTYtW0YMt2S8DIbAd8E/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/POIr103YvTYtW0YMt2S8DIbAd8E/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/POIr103YvTYtW0YMt2S8DIbAd8E/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/POIr103YvTYtW0YMt2S8DIbAd8E/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=nhVV81MaSrw:STIdUsRpE-M:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=nhVV81MaSrw:STIdUsRpE-M:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=nhVV81MaSrw:STIdUsRpE-M:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=nhVV81MaSrw:STIdUsRpE-M:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=nhVV81MaSrw:STIdUsRpE-M:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=nhVV81MaSrw:STIdUsRpE-M:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=nhVV81MaSrw:STIdUsRpE-M:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/nhVV81MaSrw" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
