Hi,
Is there any how-to guide on how to install iPhoDroid on an iPhone 3gS with iOS 4.3? Also do you need to jailbreak the phone first? Is iPhodroid any good too?
 
iDroid, as it is called, currently only works on the iPhone 2G, 3G, and iPod Touch 1G.

So iPhone 3GS is different? I thought it was about the same
 
Physically they are almost identical. Electrically, they are quite different. The 3Gs has an updated bootrom, the bootrom is almost like a computer's BIOS. Because of this, the current versions of iDroid will not work on it.

iPhoDroid is just a bootloader, not the OS. iDroid is the OS and to be honest, it is not all that great. I have played with it and it is very buggy. If you want Droid, then you should simply buy droid phone.
