It's possible, but like the others said, it would take a lot of work. You'd need your own drivers, kernels (probably ask NHB) etc. but it's possible. Check out these links:

http://developer.android.com/guide/basics/what-is-android.html

http://www.android.com/developers/branding.html

I remember some other links for manufacturers on the Android website, but I couldn't find them. Good Luck!

I'll think the closest your going to get is if you're buying one of the arm development boards. You should get android up and running but you're pretty far away from any mobile device ;)
[Hardware Hacking General] weldawadyathink:
Some company like motorola should make a program and you choose the specs and they make it for you.
[Hardware Hacking General] giritrobbins:
This is awful because of the licensing, test and certification requirements. Phones are only cheap because of economies of scale which you lose there. It isn't like a desktop where you can swap pieces easily. It is more akin to an even more ****ed laptop.
[Hardware Hacking General] orangekid:
Just to clarify, IMEI is for GSM and ESN is for CDMA, so we actually have both in the U.S.
[Hardware Hacking General] Entropy512:
Yeah. Without the ability to create your own multilayer circuit board, there's no way you'll make something on your own.

Obtaining a phone form factor would be next to impossible. However, "ghetto tablet" isn't too hard:

PandaBoard + touchscreen/LCD kit + battery = ghetto DIY tablet

Add a GSM module and you'll get data, possibly even calls if the module has audio I/O.

However it'll be thick, heavy, flimsy, and minimally portable.

Well you could get a Raspberry Pi because it has output for an lcd display. Then you would have to figure out how to get the radio chips to work with it. Then comes the sensors, speakers and battery slot.

What I'm really looking for is some sort of audio input, whether it be inline mic built into headphones or a bluetooth headset, that is good at noise canceling, but I want it relatively cheap. I'm not expecting anything extraordinary, but I don't want the sound of the wind screwing up the call from my end.

I don't mean something that blocks external sound from entering my ears, I want a mic that will record clear audio despite the wind during my otherwise quiet walks.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maverick7777:
Hi Guys,

Any chance of some help please?,

Just managed to create my own Rom I know unbelievable right?, well I used bits and bobs from the Arc rom, used dooms kernel, and bits from themes and new s apps etc and tweaked a bit with lovely new themes and voila perfect.

problem is being too much of a smart arse I formatted my sd card just as I was about to install an updated leaner rom that i'd made, so i decided I would just connect the phone up to fastboot and install the rom from there.

Well I thought the system command was to install a rom, so i typed fastboot flash system "my roms name and .zip at the end it erased then wrote quite quickly and alarm bells started to ring cos I thought no way thats installed a rom.

Anyways I just get doom kernels logo now and nothing else it wont go further for me to get into CWM.

Although its allowing me into fastboot so hopefully its not bricked.

Do I just install a 0.62 ftf file for the lt18i?, if so which one should I choose i'm on virgin uk unbranded phone.

Also what would the command be in fastboot?

Thanks guys

Mav

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] tyronelouie:
My Problem is I tried installing the new ics update in my tab and it seems that it can't detect it whenever i try to turn it on while holding up it won't go through the letters and stuff.

Already did the renaming to "update" still nothing.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] linuxman008:
1. Make sure the zip is on the external card

2. Make sure the card is formatted in FAT32 format.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] tyronelouie:
Yes it is on external card and i also did the manual gen2 to gen1 before so impretty sure its the same fat32 format....

still nothing
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] crossix:
Are you holding the left volume button down while pressing the power button and not letting the volume button go after it powers on?

Kinda need a lil more info, like is it saying spin forever, or does I show an android with an exclamation point, or is it just booting up as normal? The more info you give about the problem the better someone will be able to help you. I'd describe the exact steps you used along with what it did / didn't do after your tab booted...
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] tyronelouie:
Okay here is more of the detailed problem:

1. I downloaded the new ics update

2. Placed it on external sd

3. Renamed it from "iforgotthename" to "update"

4. Placed it on my tablet

5. Turned off my tablet

6. Turned on the tablet while:

- Holding the power button

- Holding the volume(up) button

7. Nothing happens boots as normal....

The #7 is my problem...
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] tyronelouie:

No folks, I am not lying! There is swype for tablets, and its on my xoom now! you might say its counterproductive, since the 10.1" tablet's keyboard is big, but nevertheless, its really cool!

you can get started here: http://www.swype.com/get-swype/how-do-i-get-swype/

all you need to do is make an account, activate it via email, download the installer on your tablet, and use the code they email you to activate

Rearth Samsung At&t Galaxy Note SGH-i717 Screen Protector [Ultimate Clear PLUS]

http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=280822781835&index=1&nav=WON&nid=52910726422&trxId=806346590018
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ragin Cajun:
I also ordered the Rearth screen protector from Amazon. I received it today and installed it on my note. Its incredibly clear. The install was super easy and the fit is great. So far Im really enjoying it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CrazyTomato76:
I bought the slim case today looks like the kit comes with the screen protector, I wonder how well the screen protector will do with the S pen. http://www.rearthusa.com/galaxy_note_slim.html
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bataga:
any bubbles? mine will be here tomorrow!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ragin Cajun:
Not a single bubble. It's very nice. It also seems to not collect oil from your hands either.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gordec:
I got it and I would say it's a perfect fit. To be bubble free depends on your experience applying it. It is no different however from the $3 for 5 pack dry application protectors you find on ebay (rearth comes with 2). I wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't for amazon free 2 day shipping. I don't want to wait 3 weeks for a hongkong seller to mail it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LiquidArrogance:
I had one come with my case. It was descent but I didn't like the feel. I play a lot of "slidy" games and most screen protectors just feel to tacky.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CrazyTomato76:
How do you like the case?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] carhigh:
Its not coming from outside the US. Its coming from cali.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LiquidArrogance:
I got the Ringke Slim. I really like the in-hand feel. Gives the Note just the right "oomph" without adding a ton of bulk.

Keep in mind that this is a very minimalist case -- a lot of people were caught off guard by this. The sides are largely exposed, for example.

Also, the back is not tacky like a TPU case. I added egrips.

The port covers are nice, they come with one extra of each, and they are easily removable if you dont like them. I removed the charger port cover and kept the 3.5mm cover.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lowspeed:
FYI it's cheaper on amazon if you have Prime.... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0074MQ1T6
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ragin Cajun:
Yup. I ordered mine thru prime. You can't beat the $3.99 overnight shipping. I'm waiting on a sd card from Amazon right now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] amcl:
Just got the rearth and applied it. Perfect fit - it will extend to less than 0.5mm from the edge of the screen if you do it right.

I was hoping the oleophobic properties were better. More fingerprints and friction than I would like.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gordec:
Yes I know I'm talking about the cheap ones on ebay.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] carhigh:
Just got it and my daughter installed it pretty good. Its a great fit compared to all the hongkong crap I usually use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] PowerMan572:
I too bought the Rearth from Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/Rearth-Samsun...Q1T6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1330046814&sr=8-1

I just applied my screen protector tonight. Got it on the first try. I've installed 10-20 screen protectors before so I have experience.

I bought the Zagg a couple days ago at best Buy and totally screwed it up! What a waste of $22. Never buying Zagg again. Plus, the Zagg screen protector feels a little "sticky" not as smooth as the Rearth.

The Rearth is almost like it's not there. We'll see if it shows as many scratches as the cheap-o ones that come from Hong Kong. I too usually buy those ones for my phones, but I didn't want to wait 3 weeks. There was no U.S. sellers. I figured spending $12 now with free 2 shipping is better than taking a chance at scuffing up the screen before I got the screen protectors from eBay.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eazyweazy3:
I purchased the Slim case from Rearth for my Note also.

I've had three Rearth cases now and also have the vecro keyboard cover for my macbook.

I absolutely love their products. Exactly what they say they are.

The screen protector works, looks, and feels great imo.

Easy to install, crystal clear, perfect fit. I love it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ragin Cajun:
I havent had any scratches on mine. Its holding up pretty well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eliter1:
So is there any reason to put a screen protector on it since it has Gorilla Glass? I have an iPhone 4 which doesn't have Gorilla Glass and have never put a protector on it and is scratch free. Is the Note more prone to scratches because of the S-Pen? I have a Note in the mail and I still haven't decided if I should put one on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ragin Cajun:
I put screen protectors on all my devices regardless of what the screen is made of. Its cheap insurance IMO.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lowspeed:
This phone does have gorilla glass right ? (not the newer one though?)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bataga:
Installed mine tonight and im very pleased. Not very smooth at first, but within an hour or so it feels much smoother. We have gorilla glass, but i had hairline scratches just having it in my pocket by itself. Can't see them now with the protector
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eliter1:
I'm going to order the case and it comes with this screen protector so I guess I'll give it a try and I can take it off if I don't like it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Made2Last:
Buy this screen protector. Definitely the one to buy. Went on easy and doesn't get smudgy as bad as others. Fits perfect.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lowspeed:
Should do ok on a drop. All depends how high/angle... etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] amcl:
Why do some cases leave the top right corner unprotected? I really want to get this rearth case in black but I fear I might just drop it on the wrong corner.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CrazyTomato76:
I'm not 100% sure, but I think it has to do with the location of the antenna.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eliter1:
Any one know if this case will fit on top of the Samsung Flip Case. I feel like it might because it doesn't cover all of the sides.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eliter1:
Let's see if it's more obvious in this pic. There is a gap on the bottom that starts under the second S and goes a little past the search button. It's not much but my eyes keep locking on to it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CrazyTomato76:
Yes i have the same problem sending it back to the company for a replacement.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eliter1:
Looks like I am going to have to get a replacement as well. I don't like that I have to wait until they receive the defective one so they will send the new one though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CrazyTomato76:
I agree!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eliter1:
So they sent me another case and didn't ask to return the other one. This one fits better but it's not perfect.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CrazyTomato76:
For the price it should be perfect. Im still waiting on mine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] amcl:
I got the rearth and got scratches on both just a few days after using it. I don't recommend these at all. I'm not sure if the spigen is any better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eliter1:
My first case had a little gap on the bottom right corner (see pic a couple of posts back) but after a week of use it kind of molded into place. I ended up getting a replacement so now I have 2 for 1. I have had the case for 2 weeks and neither the case nor the screen protector have any scratches. I take very good care of my stuff but I can't see myself scratching it easily, I've even dropped it a couple of times and was amazed that I could not find a scratch on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mauijpm:
Yup. Same problem here. My freaking S Pen scratched the screen protector. Genius design.

Consider that a possibility!

In other news, OTA updating feature will be enabled in next build, as in- you click update, it updates and auto-flashes it (auto flashing might not be easy to put in mind).

I think ClockworkMod requires an SD-Card marker or something to flash something, not sure.

Anyway, Thanks!
