I wonder if AI could port more modern kernel versions/fixes back to old kernels for vintage Android phones. You have wifi + modem, good screens, battery, fast CPUs, the hw package is unbeatable, so it's sad to see all those phones relegated to the dumpster.

This market is huge, but I think that simply using old phones to install the new system doesn't seem to have any selling points.
