Confirm the input by tapping “Add Source”. The source should now be added. There, you have to search for “Bootlace” and install the application.
At this point, you might have to restart your iPhone, in case the “Bootlace” is not on your Home Screen. Open the app now. You will be asked to allow a restart to patch the kernel. Confirm this and open the appafterwards. You will be asked to allow a restart to patch the kernel. Confirm this by tapping “Reboot”.

After the restart, open the “Bootlace” again and go to “OpeniBoot” then “Install” and “Continue”. Tap “iDroid” then “Install” and “OK” and wait until iDroid is done installing. This process can take a while. Make sure your iPhone is connected to the charger so that it has enough power.

Once the installation is done, open the “Bootlace” again and go to “QuickBoot”. Tap the “Android” icon. This way it will do a reboot and you will be able to use Android on your iPhone afterwards.
