Bootlace is an iOS application for jailbroken Apple devices that allows the installation and configuration of the open source bootloader OpeniBoot and Android based operating system iDroid.
Bootlace is programmed natively in Cocoa Touch and runs directly on the iOS device requiring only an internet connection. Currently Bootlace supports the iPhone, iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 1st generation.
You can install Bootlace through Cydia as it’s hosted in the BigBoss community repository.
More information can be found on the iDroid Project wiki here.
Source code on GitHub.

it is not working on my iphone right now it says “unable to contact update server ” Is it down or close cause of piracy………..
I don’t see how it can be down due to piracy. Bootlace contains and does nothing illegal. Bootlace.me domain is working fine for me.

You don’t need http://repo.neonkoala.co.uk source anymore. It’s not used anymore.

Hello, when I try to start bootlace up, it flashes a loading screen. I am using the iPod touch 2g, 8gb model.
Read the requirements next time. iPod Touch 2G is not supported.
how i download it ?
can u make version 2.1.7 for ipod 4g 4.3.3
are you going to add iphone 4s support any time soon?
Nope. There’s no port of OpeniBoot for A5 devices and won’t be for a long time.
No, there is no port for A5 devices in progress yet.
I know this is pretty old, but I can’t seem to get it working on my iTouch 1g. I honestly don’t remember what I used to jailbreak it (may have been iSpirit), and bootlace is giving me an error: “Kernel doesn’t match any compatible jailbreaks”. Is there any (more or less safe) way to mask that from the program?
Thank you!
The check is there for a reason. Just run the redsn0w jailbreak over the top, no need for a restore.
what about the ipod touch 4th generation? will this be added soon?
Nope.
It says that the firmware could not be downloaded.
