Would be possible to repurpose this old thing as a wireless bluetooth keyboard somehow?
>>100193758Yeah but you'd need to install the firmware dependencies from the manufacturer which probably are hard to get now because its so old. You'd also have to bypass the microchip inhibiter relay manually because its going block the Bluetooth signal
>>100193758There are some apps out there for using a phone as a Bluetooth keyboard/mouse. You might need to look for old versions to get it to run on something that old, but apk sites often have old ones available. You can also look into alternate ROMs like Cyanogenmod that could get you a newer Android version that can run newer apps.
>>100194610I've read about Cyanogen, and that's cool, but this thing barely has 512MB RAM and a single-core CPU in the MHz range, not sure I should try to install a newer OS on it.I'll look into an app that might help, thanks.
>>100193758You are better off ripping the keyboard and using just that as a module.There's a guy that has repurposed old Blackberry keyboards as standard USB HIDs.https://github.com/arturo182/BBQ10KBDhttps://github.com/solderparty/bbq20kbd_hw
>>100193758pmos and use kdeconnect, x2x, or anything really...its mainlineprobably old shitdroid roms for it, install some apk locally
>>100195162A newer OS should work acceptably, especially if you remove / don't install Google Play Services and are only looking to make it run one simple app. On my previous phones, as they were getting old and slow, they would lag like hell and then if I uninstalled updated to Google Play Services it would speed up again until it silently updated itself in the background and then it was back to being slow as hell.
