# dipa-studio/ios-sweet

> A port of Apple's open-source XNU kernel (xnu-8796, iOS 16 generation) to the Redmi Note 10 Pro (sweet, SM7150), running the unmodified iOS 16.7.16 userland from an iPhone X. Experimental bring-up: the phone boots to the iOS home screen, but with no GPU, Wi-Fi, audio or camera.

- Magnitude: 6.2 out of 10 — Early signal
- Stars: 138 total · +36 stars measured 2026-10-19, 02:52–05:36 UTC, ≈ 145 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic
- Category: Hardware, IoT & robotics · Language: Python · Created: 2026-10-14 · Last push: 2026-10-18
- GitHub: https://github.com/dipa-studio/ios-sweet · Page: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/dipa-studio/ios-sweet

## Useful for

- Build the XNU kernel via GitHub Actions and boot it on the phone with fastboot boot
- Build the iOS 16 root filesystem image from an iPhone X IPSW using mkiosroot.sh
- Pull the kernel log from the userdata partition via OrangeFox and tools/sweet-log-pull.sh

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-19 (UTC), 02:52–05:36: 102 → 138 stars (+36). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +145 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 5 days old and already has 138 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #135.
- About 54 forks a day — people are taking the code.
- Recent forks include notable developers: @CrackerCat (1,083 followers).

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 37
- Issues and pull requests: 0
- Watchers: 2
- Average over the last week: 48 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 18

## Stars per day, last 6 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

2026-10-14 … 2026-10-19: 1, 1, 0, 0, 141, 36

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
