Need some advice for my "phone"

[MadOverclocker]

Hi all! So since my phone has gotten the LCD+digitalizer fixed TWO times in a row and the back one time and today those died (RIP, Lasted a week. Press Alt+F4 to pay respects) for more info check the thread delete this unless is somewhat useful. I am looking to make one of these: Stick the mainboard to my desktop and improve cooling by installing it close to the exhaust fan or make a laptop out of it or install a custom OS similar to retropie (I do not want to keep android if I want to use it as an emulator). Thanks in advance.

It really depends on well, what phone you have.

 

 

If you've already got Developer mode, etc you can try to get it to work from ADB, but otherwise if you have no screen, there's no way you can flash or do anything of that sort.

Little confusing?

Easier comprehension: Phone got repaired 2 times in a row, I want to recycle it on any of those three ways Stick it inside of my PC Case OR make a laptop out of it OR make it an emulator BUT instead of installing different emulating apps I would love a custom OS like retro pie.

The phone is an Xperia Z3+ E6553

Half of the screen is working but my OTG broke and I do not know if I can make it work because my phone has a pattern. I did had developer mode on but ADB Mode, I do not remember If I had that on or off. Also my phone is not rooted.

No retro pi for you...

 

 

You'd need it rooted first, with TWRP, and then somehow flash another supported operating system.

However, why would you stick it on the inside of your computer case? And using it as a laptop wont' work too well either.

I don't know, use it as a real Android "Desktop". Also my first laptop got the screen broken (And now one motherboard screw is stripped) and my lenovo has 2 broken hinges and where the hinge screws go broke.

Phones don't do desktops.

 

Closest you can do is use "Linux Deploy" to host like a server on you phone, and use another app to VNC into it.

Basically, unless you fix your phone again, you're gonna have to sell it, or deal with the fact that it can barely be used for anything else.

Thanks for the info. Also is it possible to convert my Xperia into a tablet atleast?

Nope, sorry.

 

Phones are the exact opposite of PCs, especially when it comes to modularity.

 

Basically unless you had yourself a degree in EE(and probably wouldn't need my help), the best thing you can do with an Android phone (since they're all so different), is just to replace original parts with newer, identical parts.

 

So yeah, sorry if it came out as harsh or anything, but phones are just annoying to deal with.

Thats bad news for me  . The thing is I don't want to give all the money to repairs with lcd. The stupid thing now is that I bought a case+tempered glass on ebay, oh well gotta make my first return if they accept it.
