[lugm.org] linux experience on samsung mobile

[Loganaden Velvindron]

I bought a galaxy Pro B7510, and it's a pretty nice phone. It seems to be the only 

android phone with a hard keyboard and 2GB microSD card.


It comes with android 2.2.2, I switched over to 2.3.6. Battery life is better, and
it seems more stable.

Additionally, I've rooted the box, removed drm, and found out that 

the internals are quite weird. I see lots of running programs with java namespaces :-)

I've installed ssh (through a hack), busybox, a terminal (needs fiddling to work decently), 

video player. Concerning the latter, the load on the CPU isn't great, and I think it's because
of the multimedia extensions inside the CPU or GPU.


My only complain would be the screen which I think is quite small. However, for Rs 7,000, I think
it has an excellent price/feature ratio if we tweak it properly.


Should I place the info on a wiki :-) ?
