I found a few old phones from my family. II cleaned them, installed LineageOS and rooted most of them. On one I installed postmarketOS, one is still stock Android and one is lets say bricked (after installing lineagesos it stay on boot logo for ever, before that I installed lineageos and nethunter on it). One one disk encryption doesnt work for some reason.
Phones (all samsung galaxy):
- S4
- A5
- A5 (bricked)
- A5 (postmarketOS)
- J3
- J4+ (no encryption)
- A31 (stock)
What can I do with them? Something like Monero node or Tor relay, but I’m already running that on old pc. For something that needs speed I have rpis (like a website). Camera security system? Tracking device?
Is it possible to run (and autorun) cli apps and/or services that can access interent, bluetooth, gps, sensors, camera, files, etc. just like on linux? I’m a programmer and I don’t like making normal android apps for a simple project.
Accumulator / Rechargeable battery
as opposed to “regular” one-use battery
Ahh. Thanks.
It turns out my contextual understanding was completely wrong.
In German we basically use Akku vs Batterie.
As an engineer, I like that distinction, but in English there is no such general clear distinction in every day language (is colloquial the right translation for this?) as far as I know.
Colloquial is correct. “as used in common speech”
