:performing_arts: One phone, two souls — real iOS boots on a POCO, reboot = Android back

HakiOS boots the actual unmodified Apple XNU kernel + iOS 16.5 user space on a Snapdragon phone — straight from RAM, nothing flashed, nothing overwritten

not a theme · not an emulator · not a launcher — the real Apple kernel, on Android hardware

the open-source project with its own UEFI loader, its own drivers, and media coverage — the kernel source is public (XNU, APSL 2.0), the iOS user space comes from your own restore image

  [POCO X5 Pro] ──▶ [fastboot boot] ──▶ [iOS 16.5 · in RAM]
   unlocked BL        one command         lock screen · apps
   spare phone        nothing flashed     Wi-Fi · cameras

── :performing_arts: two costumes ──

:robot: the day job — Android :red_apple: the RAM ghost — iOS 16.5
untouched: nothing is flashed, ever real XNU kernel + real iOS user space
a restart hands the phone straight back from your own iPhone X restore image — 0 Apple files in the repos
stays your daily driver lock screen · home · stock apps · Wi-Fi · cameras · speakers · SSH

── :mirror: the fitting rooms ──

room verdict
:white_check_mark: works touch · multitouch · Wi-Fi · 8 cores · cameras · speakers · mic · vibration · battery read · Sileo + SSH
:yellow_circle: partly cellular (modem boots, no network yet) · Metal draws the window server at ~110 fps swipes — fast, not 120
:no_entry: by design, dead Bluetooth · charging while running · activation · Apple ID · iCloud · App Store

── :door: three doors in ──

:desktop_computer: DOOR 1 — see it boot today, zero risk → QEMU on any computer: no Apple files, ~30 minutes, 12 GB disk (QEMU guide)

:mobile_phone: DOOR 2 — the POCO, from RAM → spare POCO X5 Pro, unlocked bootloader, your own IPSW, fastboot boot only — never flash, never dual-boot first (phone guide)

:wrench: DOOR 3 — bring another phone → the porting guide starts from a device tree; an Infinix Hot 20 experiment already lives in the tree

── :label: the honest label ──

:unlocked: the bootloader must be unlocked — RAM boot ≠ no unlock: that’s warranty gone and brick risk real (install docs)

:balance_scale: the IPSW is a gray area — kernel public (APSL 2.0), user space licensed by Apple for Apple devices only: own the iPhone, own the risk (LEGAL.md)

:police_car_light: every “HakiOS APK” is malware — no installer exists; the only source is github.com/oosexgang + Telegram

:newspaper: covered by Gigazine, Xataka and LockerGnome — but project-documented, no independent lab audit yet: treat it as brilliant research, not a daily driver

Two operating systems, one drawer, zero flash — the costume change is real.
