Is this even possible? I am stuck with an iphone 5 for the foreseeable future and i really miss the android experience.  Is there any way to have both loaded on your phone?

All I could find. Not a dual-boot though, that would be very hard. Also a risk of permanently bricking your phone, I wouldn't recommend.

Read the post, why would he want to do that? If anything, he'd do the complete opposite, make iOS look like android.

I was stating the only logical possible solution. iOS 7 looks like android. You can't "dual boot" only mask

This person has a iPhone and they want to get android. Your solution was make android look like iOS and you claim this is the only logical possible solution. He doesn't have android to make look like iOS, where does the android come from if he's got iOS for the foreseeable future? It would make much more sense to make his iOS look like android.

iOS has pretty limited customization, so it won't really end up anything like Android. Android's infinite customizability can actually make it look like iOS.

 

That said, dual booting on a phone seems silly. The above link to install Android on the iPhone is a more promising option.

You could jailbreak and try and find an android theme. That is the only way of doing it I think.
