Hey I like your approach too but it seems that there are some subtle differences in our approaches

I mean that I take a screen and a esp32 or any microcontroller like raspberry pi and create a modular phone for just enough to boot from a device in my backpack lets say

And what you are saying is to take an already working phone and then running postmarketos on it to then connect to a host

Theoretically... (yes?) Postmarketos is a linux but their support is finnicky from what I know... like it scares me or makes me think I need a really specific phone which might cost a lot of sorts or comparatively more than say my modular approach

Everything else sure, they are the same.

I believe that the microcontroller approach isntead of postmarketos can be better because of more freedom of the amount of Os supported but that isn't that big of a deal

just searched and somebody has created something very similar to my ideal https://hackaday.com/2023/08/03/open-source-cell-phone-based...

just plug in a ssh server from raspberry pi of sorts and a wifi card to connect them of sorts :)

Now If you are wanting to do it, Do you want to contribute together? I will send you a mail after which we can talk on something like signal or feel free to message me on signal and anything else really!

If I can be honest, I want to hack around with my kaechoda 100 which worked with 32 mb... like it never lagged in 32 mb and my 1 gig android stutters and I definitely want to figure out what OS does kaechoda use that its so so fast and actually good-enough as well

Like anyways, I will message ya and if anybody is an expert in embedded, please also contact me if someone else is also interested like you! I genuinely want to make this a reality and write more about it :p

have a nice day and I will send you a mail to your gmail!
