Android on iPhone

I upgraded my iPhone to os 4.0 from os 3.1. It seemed pretty cool with multitask(kind of) functionality but later I realized that there is no reception. No, I am not talking about new iPhone 4.0 and its hardware issue. The one I have is iPhone 3G.

After few research I found out that iPhone 3G, jail broken with redSnow has the reception. The phone was pretty much useless as I wasn't able to make any phone calls from it. Then I did a little bit more research and found out that I can install Android on iPhone. So I decide to give it a try I had nothing to lose...

The software needed to install android on iPhone is called iphodroid. After few hours of trial and error I was finally able to install a stable version of Android on iPhone. When I installed it for the first time it wasn't responding to the touch. I uninstalled and reinstalled the Android it fixed the issue. The phone was all set to go.

Since it was the fist installation there wasn't even a single contact in my address book. I loged in to google and synced my contact. Since, my google account was synced with itunes all of my contacts was on my new phone.

It was kind of wired to use the phone for the first time because the buttons responded differently than iPhone but it didn't take long for me to figure out the functionality of the buttons. One the first thing that I noticed is that the touch response is kind of slow specially after using iPhone. The user interface isn't that intuitive specially due to the slow response to touch.

One of the main reason I tried Android on iPhone was because the ability to play Flac files via andless app. But it was no use because there was no way for me to upload the music files to the device. The andless app looks for SD to play the music which obesely is not iPhone. So it was no use at all.

Another thing I noticed that the device was running kind of hot and it was sucking all the juice. After continually using the phone for 1.5 hrs the battery was almost dead..

So, my recommandation is not to install Android on iPhone to replace iPhone os.. at least for now..
