  • Install a New ROM or Even a New Operating System

     

    If your old smartphone is an Android and you never experimented with flashing ROMs, maybe it's time you did. We can help you pick a good one, and once you install it you'll find you have a lot more functionality. It's a good way to boost the device's capabilities or just use it to test a ROM before you commit to it on your primary device.

     

    iPhone users don't have the same options as there aren't really any custom ROMs, but it is possible to install Android on iPhone. Alternatively, if you'd prefer something a little simpler, you can always just jailbreak to expand your iPhone's functionality. If you're worried about doing this on your primary device, that's exactly where an old iPhone can come to the rescue.

     
     

    Those are just a few fun ideas to help keep your old smartphone a little more useful. We hope it enjoys a long life with whatever new purpose you give it.
