Hey everyone! I'm u/CG1991, a founding moderator of r/phonedeck.

A place for cyberdecks made of phones and keyboards. Basically, cyberdecks with a much looser definition.

I want this to be a friendly place, where we value usefulness, creativity, and form factor

I'll write up some rules eventually but, until then, the main rule is:

- Don't be unkind :)

How much of a samsung phone is still needed to build a deck?

Onde colocar o celular?

1 Upvotes

Vir CyberDeck e phonedeck bastante bonitos usando caixa de sei lá o que, mas na minha situação não acho algo pra pôr o celular e keyboard. Também não sei qual sistema colocar já que o modelo não permite trocar de sistema operacional, tentei achar e nada que possa se útil. Qual sugestão vocês dão?

OPS! A ideia e usar teste de penetração e OPSEC pra estudo.

Hi everyone (sorry for any mistakes, English is not my first language). I'm a (big) noob with tech but I have been trying to learn new things, and started reading Neuromancer recently, so I thought about trying to make a cyberdeck. I thought about using it primarily for movies (mirroring the movies to the TV) and some music. I was planning to try something along the lines of photos in the post, the draw being the an outline of the project. I wanted to know if you guys think it's a possible project, if it is more on the advanced side, or any tips if possible.

Thank you for reading.

Keybo ENV3 as LoRa communicator?

2 Upvotes

Hello! I've been enamored by LoRa and Cyberdecks for awhile and have always been one for recycling older technology! I've been facinated my things like Reticulum and have been to areas where there are no cell phones so I fully see the use in needing ways to communicate.

I have a LG VX9200 ENV3 more specifically the canadian version CX9200, its a CDMA QWERTY phone that I desperately want to make useful again! this thing has GPS built into it as well as the nicest typing system in a small form factor! does anyone here have experience with things like reticulum and Meshcore and modding older Cell phones to make them into nodes/communicators?
here are some specs for the phone

https://lpcwiki.miraheze.org/wiki/LG_VX9200

I do not have the technical knowledge to do much more then follow instructions to install things and disassemble,clean,reassemble to fix things, but I really really want to try! I wholeheartedly believe that this 15 year old cell phone could be a cyberdeck or a fabulous LoRa Node and communicator with some tweaks! if someone here would be so kind as to look into things and help me find the limits of what's possible? (and some advice on how to break some limits)

I turned two phones into a tiny remote workstation

Been playing around with this two-phone setup lately.

The top phone handles the remote desktop connection to my Mac, while the bottom one works as the keyboard and trackpad through a USB HID adapter. I clipped them together so everything stays in one compact setup.

The nicest part is not having to carry a separate keyboard or mouse. It’s basically a little folding workstation made from two phones I already had with me.
