Thanks, Clarification, FreeBSD ARM on 32-bit Apple Mobile Devices?

[ken olson]

 Ganbold,

Thanks for your comments!
Clarification:  Thought the core operating system components of Mac OS X were released as open-source software under the Apple Public Source License (APSL).  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_(operating_system)?  From your comments the bootloader and SOC docs are not covered?
Beginners Question:  If all this is not known, how is it possible to install Android on iPhones?  Found "Change My Software Android Installer For Apple Ios" http://litesoftlink.bitballoon.com/change-my-software-android-installer-for-apple-ios.html  also "How to install Android on Apple iOS [TUTORIAL]"  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiY9CKBC_-U
Are these for Real or Fake?
Thanks again for your help.
Ken

Recently inherited an iPhone 4S.  Want to only use it for photography and audio (no phone or Internet). 

Since the 4S is Very hardware challenged would like to reduce the OS load as much as possible so am looking for an open-source iOS clone.
Did find "Project Magenta aims to create open-source iOS clone"  https://www.theverge. com/2012/6/10/3074746/project- magenta-open-source-ios-clone  but nothing recent.
Had hoped that since all the 32 bit Apple Mobile Devices are now unsupported, there would be an interest in utilizing them for application specific purposes but to date have not found any groups discussing this.  
Since 32-bit, FreeBSD supports ARMv6 and ARMv7 can FreeBSD ARM run on Any 32-bit Apple Mobile Devices?


Theoretically maybe, but if I'm not mistaken only if Apple open their bootloader codes and some other stuffs like SoC related technical documentation etc.Up to now it is impossible and maybe not worth it to try even.
But you can of course do some jailbreak related things, making hooks/tweaks etc, which is sometimes fun.

As beginner to FreeBSD ARM tried to search the archive  but to date have not found anything relevant.  
Have I missed anything?
