A small project to help out anyone trying to keep their old devices functional.
I wrote a script to scrape pages of some popular alternative OS projects (such as postmarketOS and LineageOS), and put them into a single list. I’ll try to automate and keep this up-to-date. Any additional OS suggestions and comments are welcome!
The issue isn’t really the OS in many cases.
The barrier is getting a battery replacement. Which many devices make exceptionally difficult, to the point where buying a new cheap phone is nearly equivalent in price as paying someone to tear down your phone and rebuild it to swap the battery
I have been trying to do this on my own for a while now. Thank you!
Amazing post, thanks!
Thanks
And the answer is still none.
Nice concept. Can I suggest you make use a searchable table control for the results?
Ctrl+f
Nice work. It’s been years since I’ve messed with any custom roms but that may have to change.
The battery in my old phone looks like the Goodyear blimp, should I still proceed?
You might end up needing postmortemOS
On a serious note, you can run without a battery
Good stuff!! I might have missed the thermistor part.
I cut and sanded a piece of flooring to fit into the battery compartment.
I was not expecting this reading the article. Looks like the phone’s from the 70s
Yes, but make sure to film it.
