Bootlace Install Android OS On Your iPhone 2G/3G Without Need A Computer

Bootlace is an iOS application which allows the installation of iDroid and OpeniBoot as well as configuration of OpeniBoot settings. Also supported is QuickBoot – a way of directly booting into the selected OS without modifying normal OpeniBoot settings.

Bootlace comes with the following features:

• Installation and configuration of OpeniBoot
• Installation and removal of iDriod
• Upgrading of iDroid and OpeniBoot
• QuickBoot directly into other OSes
• OpeniBoot configuration
• NVRAM back and restore

Here are some of the requirements for it to work:

iPhone 2G:

• 3.1.2
• 3.1.3

iPhone 3G:

• 3.1.2
• 3.1.3
• 4.0
• 4.0.1
• 4.0.2
• 4.1

Jailbreaks

• PwnageTool
• Redsn0w ( not 0.9.6b2 for now )
• Blackra1n

You can follow these steps to install Android OS on your jailbroken iPhone 3G and iPhone 2G:

1. First you will need to add this repo: http://repo.neonkoala.co.uk ( package will most probably be available on default repos soon ), and install Bootlace

2. A new icon will be added to your SpringBoard called ‘Bootlace’

3. Load Bootlace and install ‘OpeniBoot’.

4. Now, tap on ‘iDroid’ and install it.

5. Once you installed iDroid, that’s it, you are done. You now have a dual-boot iPhone. To boot into Android OS, you can reboot your iPhone or from inside Bootlance, tap on ‘QuickBoot’ and then tap on the Android icon.

NOTE: if any updates to the iDroid project will be released, all you have to do is load Bootlace, tap on iDroid and update. Simple as that…

That’s it, you can checkout Android OS on your iPhone.

The folks behind Bootlace are working hard to also port it to iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and iPad.
