| 17:28.36 | benzrf | hey - i just got a feature phone/flip phone, and i was wondering if it's possible to flash this kind of device with a custom OS, and a friend suggested here as a place to ask |
| 17:29.06 | benzrf | google has not been much help - anybody know if this is a possible thing to do? the phone is an alcatel a392cc |
| 20:17.02 | DocScrutinizer05 | you generally can't flash your own OS to a feature phone |
| 20:18.04 | DocScrutinizer05 | to start with, those devices are too stingy on resources for anything useful to run on them |
| 20:19.15 | DocScrutinizer05 | then they generally are not documented, so you couldn't create and drivers for the peripherals, often you don't even know the CPU they got |
| 20:19.32 | DocScrutinizer05 | s/ and / any / |
| 20:20.50 | DocScrutinizer05 | some symbian phones might have enough grunt, but I never heard of anybody creating a linux for a symbian phone |

| 20:25.56 | DocScrutinizer05 | http://www.comparecellular.ca/cell-phones/alcatel-onetouch-a392a/reviews.asp not even worth trying, eh? |
