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
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
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
Good stuff!! I might have missed the thermistor part.
Yes, but make sure to film it.
Amazing post, thanks!
Thanks
Nice work. It’s been years since I’ve messed with any custom roms but that may have to change.
And the answer is still none.
I have been trying to do this on my own for a while now. Thank you!
Nice concept. Can I suggest you make use a searchable table control for the results?
