HakiOS
English · 中文 · Українська
Apple's open-source Darwin kernel (XNU, xnu-8796.121.2) on Android phones, the way Android is Linux on phones: a boot loader of its
own, drivers of its own, a configuration system and a version of its own. The same kernel runs in QEMU with nothing of Apple's and
nothing of any phone's (make qemu-open). A research bench, not a ROM: by default it runs from RAM, and a reboot gives the phone back to
Android.
Documentation: docs/, and the site, hackios-web.vercel.app.
News, 4 November 2026: on the POCO X5 Pro 5G the window server draws through Metal on the Adreno 642L, two ways. hakios-metal: page swipes 110 to 115 frames a second, Settings' scroll 118, the home button 106, rendering at 828x1792 stretched to the panel; 101, about 90 and about 90 at the full 1125x2436. UniXNU's Metal on Vulkan: swipes 50 to 57, scroll 41. The panel is 120 Hz, and 120 frames a second has not been reached. Metal on the Adreno, the measurements.
Start with Getting started, On the phone or Port a device. What works, part by part: the documentation's front page.
Repositories
| Repository | Contents |
|---|---|
| hakios-xnu-kernel | common: the kernel port, every common driver, the loader, user space, the tools, this documentation, and devices/qemu |
hakios-metal/ |
Metal's command model on the Adreno, through the kernel's GPU driver |
| hakios-sm7325 | POCO X5 Pro 5G: its defconfig, status, UEFI platform, firmware script, and its SoC's layer (Qualcomm SC7280 family) |
| hakios-mt6768 | Infinix Hot 20 (MediaTek Helio G85): an experimental port with its own loader. Not in this repository's manifest |
| hakios-uefi | the firmware that starts the loader: Mu-Silicium with HakiOS's boot path, banner and name, and HakiOS's U-Boot |
| hackios-web | the website |
| hackios-xnu-userland | old: a pointer kept for its links. User space is userland/ here |
How they fit: the repositories.
What you bring, and what is never here
Nothing of Apple's and no vendor's firmware is in these repositories. The Darwin user space, if you want it, you lay out yourself from an IPSW you get yourself, and the firmware comes off your own phone; nothing is downloaded for you, decrypted or circumvented. Apple's services (activation, Apple ID, iCloud, the App Store) are not supported and not a goal. What is in the repository, and what never is.
