docs/ios27/INSTALL-S9.md: the "what works" table and one known-problem entry brought up to what has landed on main and the fork's trunk today. One file, text only.

  • The Camera app does not appear on the home screen yet (the cameras are kernel drivers only).
  • Sensors and rotation (new row): the accelerometer and gyroscope reach iOS with shub=6 shub_hid=3 and the orientation library; seen on a phone on 12 November (the orientation followed the hand; Notes turned to landscape and back). Rotation works with the OpenGL ES compositor and freezes the screen with the Metal compositor until that is fixed. The other sensors stay in the kernel.
  • Wi-Fi (moved out of "not in this build", where it said a licence review was pending): in the kernel, off by default, the radio driver object and the phone's own firmware are the builder's to add; one boot on 10 November on its own branch joined a WPA2 network and carried traffic from the kernel's console; Settings showed Wi-Fi off; the merged kernel has been built with and without the driver and not booted with Wi-Fi on.
  • Audio and Bluetooth: unchanged in substance: for iOS 27 their drivers are on unmerged branches only.
  • Icons: the kernel switch they were proven with (bit 268435456 of sweetspeed, formerly a draft) is in the kernel this page builds, off; which command line sets it, and that its own effect has not been measured.

Every statement is either what a phone was seen to do, with its date, or says that it has not been run. docs-check passes. npm run preflight does not apply (no Node project).

…and rotation, Wi-Fi's state, the Camera app, the IOSurface switch)

Each statement is what a phone has been seen to do, with its date, or says that it has not been run: rotation works with the
OpenGL ES compositor and freezes the screen with the Metal one; the Camera app is not on the home screen (kernel drivers
only); Wi-Fi is in the kernel, off, needs its driver object and the phone's own firmware, and joined a network once from the
kernel's console on its own branch; audio and Bluetooth are not in this kernel.
