Maybe check https://github.com/sarabpal-dev/IonStack-S22U
It has a full chain reproduction of the use-after-free vulnerability that grants you root on Samsung phones with a locked bootloader.

I'm not using it for sleep tracking so I can't comment on that. I mostly use it with Garmin Instinct 3 Solar for recording and exporting gpx tracks of my hikes and bicycle trips.

We have a similarly converted rotary phone at my local astronomy club's observatory, used to receive visitors. It's driven by an arduino if I remember correctly. The main issue is that the sound quality of its built-in speaker is quite poor, especially compared to modern cell phone speakers we're used to nowadays, with a narrow frequency window and frequent echoes.

Walkable, maybe, but definitely not drivable (it crosses directly over the Alps, for example).

2D map would work the same way with my proposal. The "north is up" part is the issue for me, I'd like to have the rotation oriented in such a way that (the visible part of the path to) my destination is up.
Re:Inception-style curved map for turn-by-turn directions
on Saturday August 29, 2026 @02:28AM (#49487467)
Of course it could still have some maximum allowed rotation threshold.

>"up is direction of motion"
Yes, this is how it's currently implemented. My proposal is "up is the intersection of the path with the edge of the screen". Here's a mock comparison of the current behavior with my proposal: https://i.imgur.com/AmUnzfS.jpeg (The mocked perspective is wrong because I just cut out and rotated the image, but hopefully you get the idea)

This is also a problem with Google Maps navigation. It is always showing the perspective looking straight ahead of your current direction, even when you're approaching a sharp turn. Instead, the perspective should be along a vector connecting your current location with the point where the navigation's path crosses the edge of the display, pointing straight up.
