Can't think of any device in the 2.3 - 4.1 realm I would care to fuck with. Throw them out if you're not using them or find people who will if they're unlocked.

I use them for jack-o-lanterns or other dumb crafts projects.

What software could I use?

I know that I could slam it into a closed enclosure with solar panel module and an IR illumination ring and power the device via an USB power adapter but not how I could actually get it to function as an IP camera and get it to connect to zoneminder

>>62221036
Same question, wot software

>What software could I use?
I think it's literally called "IP camera" in the play store and the dev is a Russian sounding guy. It worked well for me.

>>62221275
that's pretty neat

sucks that android phones are locked and use proprietary bootloaders and drivers so its not possible to run a real linux distro on them.

lmao at lagdroid devices, obsolete in 1 year

even my ancient iPhone 4S received updates from release until 2016, that's 5 years.

>>62222475
Some devices can have their bootloaders unlocked, AKA nexus and sony devices
Some Xperias had SailfishOS and FirefoxOS ported to them, some even had Arch ported to them and Nexus 7 got official desktop Ubuntu support, but only till 13.10 when Ubuntu touch became a thing and that got canned

>>62222475
What? I can install Gentoo on my chinkphone any time I feel like it

>>62222611
t. 1.33 minutes of battery life

>>62221275

>>62221275

>>62222611
And it got slow as hell, 4s are barely usable.

I have 3 Android devices laying around too

Maybe as an MP3 player or something? Can you somehow use the processing power for something else?

>>62224800
I just realized you could also use one as a Kodi remote

>>62221013
No Wifi, No software support.

>>62220995
sell them to parents with children who are okay with giving their kids disposable shitty phones instead of lending them their expensive new phones

>>62220995
i have 2.1 and used it as 2.3.

use them for hacking experiments

>>62220995

If you can't sell them, please recycle them properly so that they don't pollute your side of the world.

>>62228100
can you recommend a hostap and a httpd for eclair?

>>62228118
Good goy.

>>62228131

>good goy

What's wrong with properly recycling old electronics?

>>62228166
The problem is the consumerism.

>>62220995
Http servers have a very small foorprint...

>>62228184

The worse problem is the fact that you can't update Android on older devices like you could on desktop PCs.

My sister's Iphone 4 got it's wifi and reception broken like 3-4 years ago by an official Apple update and when she asked them to fix it they told her to fuck off.

Torrentbox or back up phone

Every Android version has the Camera API.

It takes 30 minutes to make a "IP camera" type application

I made two versions, one which saved the pictures locally and where my computer requested them using MTP and one which the application POSTed them over WiFi to my computer

>>62220995
attach two of them to a headband and make a vr helmet.

>Webcam
>ibstqll Linux and use it as a small server for Nextcloud or whatever
