What happens if you install Android on iPhone

 If Android can be found on gadgets of a wide range of brands, then only Apple smartphones work on the basis of iOS. For more than 10 years of existence of these platforms, enthusiasts have repeatedly tried to add "freedom from Android" to the smartphones of the Cupertino company. Someone took this literally and ported Android to the gadgets of an American company. How it ended - in the material "Gazeta.Ru". bacobolts

First iPhones on Android

The first Android builds for Apple smartphones appeared in 2010 - but even then they were very stable solutions. All Android ports on iPhone 2G and subsequent models allowed using almost all smartphone functions, except for the main one - such devices did not see the SIM card. These ports were based on the first versions of Android - 1.6-2.3 and when the smartphone was turned on, they were offered to boot one of two systems to choose from.

In any case, the "pioneering programmers" managed to launch third-party applications, use the browser using a WiFi connection, and even make calls over it.

The most famous project ported Android OS to the iPhone is called Project Sandcastle. The Corellium development team was


able to bring Android 10 to the iPhone 7, 7 Plus and iPod Touch 7 in 2020.

Enthusiasts have made the assembly publicly available. They suggested installing a beta version, in which the camera, Bluetooth and other important functions related to the hardware did not work at that time. To install the Automaton operating system on an Apple smartphone, you first had to perform a procedure called jailbreak.

Jailbreak is an operation not officially supported by Apple that opens access to the file system of the company's gadgets. This greatly expands the aptitudes of the device, but at the same time makes it more vulnerable. Jailbroken devices are not covered under warranty.

Despite the fact that the development team responsible for releasing the Android port on the iPhone did not take any responsibility in the event of broken devices, many users wanted to test the functionality of this assembly. In the spring of 2020, social networks began to flood photos of the iPhone 7 with an Android desktop.

Popular Russian tech blogger Valentin Petukhov (Wylsacom) filmed the experiment.

“Basically, it slows down like a regular Android ... There is no camera, some basic things. Absolutely inoperative. There is no point in it. Android on iPhone 7 sounds straight forward. Why do you need Android on iPhone? Not needed - in fact, it’s pampering and whim, ”says Wylsacom.

Apple is suing the port's developers. Fortunately for the enthusiasts, the Cupertino-based company lost out - the court ruled that Corellium "brings something new to iOS" that allows programmers to fully work with this closed system, performing operations that Apple prohibits.

Despite a good start, world recognition and victory over Apple, since then Corellium has not released new assemblies, and, apparently, development has been abandoned.

iPhone with firmware from Xiaomi

Xioami smartphones are based on one of the most functional shells from the Android world - MIUI. An unknown enthusiast in 2021 tried to combine the functionality of Xiaomi and the stability of the iPhone - he managed to run MIUI 11 on the first generation iPhone SE. The blogger posted a short video about his development.

Deployment on Mars: mapping and location tutorial

This is the fourth in a sequence of blog about the open source Mars Rover. Most of the concepts discussed here apply to other wheeled robots as well. You can read part 1, 2 and 3 at these relations. walk in the street When I send my Mars Rover on a mission to the grocery store or to drop off another robot at a co-worker's house during quarantine and my cellular connection is not good or I don't want to interfere it, I need the robot to drive autonomously . To do this, the robot must understand where it is in the world and where the obstacles are. In recent years, it has gotten pretty straightforward. We will follow the steps to configure the two most used packages for 2D SLAM and localization, gmapping and amcl, in order to produce high fidelity maps of the robot setting. Use SLAM to make a map, then use location to continually update the robot's location after that map is created. Don't go anywhere without a rock solid odometry The package that we will see is

Freedom Robotics Guide to Cellular Routers for Robot Connectivity

Image
At Freedom Robotics, we have worked with hundreds of robotic customers using LTE connectivity to implement robotic applications. Based on the use case, budget, and reliability requirements, the solutions they have implemented fall into three general categories: Cheap - LTE USB Flash Drive Medium cost: entry-level commercial LTE routers High cost - Reliable high-end routers for business options Here we compile category specific routers that we have implemented for our clients with great success. Low cost LTE USB flash drives Huawei_CellularConnectiity_FreedomRobotics-1 While not a hardened router solution, USB drives (like the Huawei E8372h-517 shown here) are common in robotics. We have seen fleets of robots with this class of router that provide decent connection quality. They are also inexpensive enough to add as a backup or in addition to the other solutions listed here. Specs:   150Mbps downlink and 50Mbps uplink - very fast for an LTE USB dial-up internet You

Revitalization Amid Tech

  Intel Chief Gelsinger Plots Revitalization Amid Tech Convergence Intel's govt crew today showcased its imagination and prescience for the subsequent wave of the era and framed its approach around a series of converging traits. "We believe that together we will unharness the electricity of facts to make the arena a better area," stated Navin Shenoy, EVP and GM of the Data Platforms Group at Intel, at some stage in a digital event marking the discharge of Intel's 0.33-generation Xeon Scalable processors. He stated that Intel aims to satisfy that goal by shaping its strategy around 4 regions of fast adoption and confluence. Those developments consist of the proliferation of hybrid cloud; advancements in synthetic intelligence (AI) which might be being infused into the brink, community, and cloud; 5G deployments, which might be fueling new use instances; and the heightened needs of 5G which can be pushing compute sources in the direction of in which statistics are
