I gave a big box of G1's that way to a guy in Zambia (rooted, and custom kernel that enabled the serial port on the extra UsbExt wires).

I was told that they didn't need any more after that. This was in 2012ish.

Were the devices still running Android? Or are there "real" Linux distros with Android device deivers?
