Neat stuff coming for the Xperia 1 ii :)
As someone who's day job is Android firmware development, I wanted to set myself an interesting challenge, Android Jellybean on a "modern" device.
Since the 1 ii was blacklisted in Australia (at least the HK model), I've been looking for uses for it, so why not try something cursed!
So far basically everything is working (excluding Celluar/GPS, and Camera is a huge WIP atm).
GPU Acceleration is even working!
Yes, this is fully native too (mostly, technically some of the hardware interfaces run in a chroot on top of Jellybean), but,,,,, I can't backport drivers I don't have the source for so :P
if you're gonna larp building cool shit, actually build it and don't slop a video together, thanks 🫶
Minimal Phone 2 starts from $600
Used BlackBerry Q10: $60
Reverse engineered it and got a physical keyboard, SSH, and Claude Code in my pocket
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The video contains OpenAI SynthID signals consistent with AI generation and does not depict a real reverse-engineered BlackBerry Q10, which runs 2013-era BlackBerry 10 OS incapable of the modern terminal/SSH/Claude features shown.

genuinely if theyre not funding local productions or anything (especially on YouTube and such), why the fuck do they feel entitled to this?
Australia does some dumb shit, but this is genuinely a meme
