Any alternative to iOS for an iPhone 3G?

Well you can tried iDroid for iPhone 3g. I installed it to my friends iPhone 3G. But you need to have jailbroken iPhone. Click on the following link: www.idroidproject.org They are having Bootlace application which will installed the iDroid on your phone. the version I used on 3g, was not very impressive(but these guys are continuously working on it to make it better). Recently I got update from that new version is out. I personally found it hard daily basis need. but If you are keeping it as experiment its really good. Its hard for iPhone to have another software as it need complete reverse engineering[Hard Job] to get some other OS work on it perfectly. But still you can give iDroid a try. Its easy to install and remove if you don't like it.

Have you considered looking into Whited00r?

I'm a big fan of the work and you can start at the web page below for details on the hardware it supports:

Once you've jailbroken your device, you can use iTunes to install this OS on to your iPhone 3.
