I have an lg vm510 phone that runs brewmp. I live in Mexico now, far out of range of virgin.s network. So it is still a useful camera and external drive but it is useless as a phone here because there is no sim to swap out to access he networks here.

So, I wonder if there is another os I can write to the sdcard that will run on the chipset. And I wonder if there is a way to then load that kernel from within brewmp like one may do with loadline.exe under DOS.

It is kind of an art project. If I can get it booting to a shell, great. If I could get it talking to the Telcel network here, better. It doesn.t have wifi, so all that os overhead is avoided.

Yeah? Sound fun?

No, it sounds like a major PITA.

My browser started fighting with Qualcomm's site, but I got enough to realize the gsc6075 was released in 2007, and is not boasting about it's cpu core or cores. It is old. Perhaps older Android systems would cope with it. It would be up to you to find something that supports it. I suspect you could do little with it. The sdk is pretty useless for writing Operating System stuff.

You could look for Ubuntu touch on it, or compile Android 5 on it, but doubt you'll be able to do much else.

I know it is a little weird, but as a way to deeply learn about the device and its potentials, I will venture in.

A number of developers fought with Virgin and Quallcom in the years when it was use in their quest to hack it. So there is already the knowledge available to get in to view the filesystem.

I don´t want to flash the phone. I want to develop a simple J2ME app or some script that will run after brewmp has booted that will load a different kernel.

I know, I know ... the brush stroke is only significant to the artist, not the viewer.

I was thinking a little differently.

Moore's law rates progress in hardware as doubling every 2 years. That design is eight years old. It's probably not worth the effort. It's like writing a new OS for a device built around the Z80. At it's best, you have a fully functional Z80. If you put the same effort into a known OS - e.g. IOS or Android, you could leverage jobs all over the place, get your games on apps stores, etc. That works towards your career.
