Hi all,
I wonder if there is any possibility to change the prosessor of the X2 for a faster one. If there is somewhere a processor that has the same pin-layout, same size than the one on the x2, then why wouldn't it be possible to unsolder it and swap to an faster one..?
Sorry if this question is stupid, but i have no idea about mobilephone processors... On computers you can swap processors if they fit in the socket, and consume the same amount of power etc..
I'm not so much more a mobilephone processor expert but I doubt it's that easy. In mobilephones those components have to work together I guess. That means some hardware probably needs that qualcomm to work.
Also, I could imagine theres a problem with the heat of faster processor - or is that nonsense?

It's a great question; I also wish it were possible. But mobile phone processors have various complexities such as a separate processor for various functions like phone or graphics. The only possibility would be to go from one Qualcomm to another, but even then, aren't mobile phone processors tiny? The soldering itself might be close to impossible.

If it would just be the case of soldering, then i'll find someone who would do the job for me Afcourse the aspect of heat etc could be an issue..
Any other thoughts from anyone who knows about these kind of processors?
If the CPU itself is pin compatible, the issue is only the soldering. Mostly.

Sounds great! Now is there anyone who knows if there is a processor that would fit in the same pin-layout as the current x2-processor? For example the Qualcomms Snapdragon-processor?
unlikely that its even the same size let alone the same number of pins.. and even if it was of identical size and layout then theres the voltages to consider. i doubt the x2 was constructed by hand. quite often chips are placed and soldered by machine. would require an expert of considerable skill to remove and then solder in a new chip perfectly.
finally theres the problem of finding a processor to put in.... not like you can buy them in pcworld! if you wanted a snapdragon cpu you would have to buy a snapdragon phone to use as a donor. very expensive way to upgrade a phone.
Ur going to kill ur phone mate, u must be ridicusly precise if u decide to do that . .
Not possible! .. this is not a desktop! (or a laptop) with an changeble socket
apart from the soldering out a smd cpu with tons of legs then
if the new faster cpu didn't use 100% the same wm driver it would require a new rom and the the device would not work with any rom but the one custom made for the newer cpu
Here in the UK we have a nice little touchscreen unit called the joggler. We are currently in the early stages of hacking it on our forums. We have managed to get an early working port of Linux on it but, it seems made to run Android. We have made some progress, and seems to be running fluidly apart from a graphics glitch. As most people in here are Android wizards, I thought this would be the perfect place to ask.
(I have a nexus one running Modaco A21),
Not sure if i'm allowed to post the address
joggler dot info
and if not please remove and my apologies.
thanks
Any of you Guru's any idea. It basically duplicates the screen side by side with messed up colours.
Thanks
i fancy one of them jogglers but not sure.
For £50 with wifi its a bit of a bargain, hack it for a picture frame and your sorted!
Found a bit more:
"The O2 Joggler is a very nice bit of hardware. It has a beautiful hi-res touchscreen, 512mb of RAM, a dual core intel atom processor and 1gb of built memory. Not to mention WiFi, ethernet and USB connectivity."

yeah what is what i am asking can you get one for 50 euro out right. or is it 50 euro when you sign a contract?
No contract. Its a stand alone device.
Great Car PC I would think. It needs mains support constantly though which is why I haven't purchased one.
its looks cool
one of the guys (KeithOMS) has got Android x86 booting now but no wifi and fairly slow (as you can see).

Saying that, not bad for a piece of kit that costs £50
I would love to get Android on my Joggler.
This device was made for Android Gonna watch this space.
I think this thread should be for joggler hacking!
flyboy
what cpu is it based on? where are the hardware specs?
nvm i found that. intel atom.
is there a windows xp driver for the touch screen?
does it support charging over usb? is it compatible with north american ac power plugs?
also look at this

The joggler really needs a battery internal!!
Then it would be ultimate mid!!!
For those about to hack. We salute you!:

Well It can sound stupid, but nowadays mobile phone are like the old macs, you get what you buy and you stay with it.
why there is no company which think like IBM did long time ago
make a phone without cpu (but a slot for it - let me choose which one to buy) without gpu (let me choose which one to buy, I know there isn't much choice, but anyway) without ram (I'll buy it myself for my needs) without operating system, I'll choose which to buy and install.
this idea is definetly will bring some good prices and interesting things
just a screen with case and motherbord
This would probably be impossible, or very very expensive. Letting the user change the CPU (SoC) means a standard socket, every manufacturer has it's own.
Second, Allowing the user to create a phone would be very hard, as you need some way of assembling it without causing any damage, no company will give warranity for such a device.
Also, you can't just put any OS you want. Though here at XDA there are those capable of it, you need a bootloader, and it will be just to much work for a single piece of hardware.
this might be possible on tablets, which are bigger, but also there, it's far too complicated.
Also, can you buy a notebook without a CPU and all the rest? Full hardware customization is only available in desktop computers.
But doing such a thing would be absulutely AWESOME

Who cares about the warranty........ I have been building my own computers since 1989 and I have never had a single problem doing it. And I also think this would be an AWESOME idea as well........... but I want it with a 5" screen (kinda blind from age)

A novel idea, and most certainly intriguing as a thought exercise, but nearly impossible as a practical exercise.
Mostly because you'll need to lug a brick around the size of an obese kid's lunchbox.
And what percentage of the mobile market would actually want to do this? lol
I really cant see anybody putting the time, effort and most importantly, money, into making this possible.

looks sweet, but not upgradeable after purchase (at least not without sending back for upgrading).
It's sort of a step in the right direction though.

I'd rather have phones release where I can choose the OS without a ton of hassle. Then I can play with all the various phone OS's.
I'd really like to see virtualization like VMWare come to the phone. Then we could try newer, older, different, PhoneOS's without having to reflash anything.

or very very expensive. It will bring a lot more marketing, PC are cheaper than Mac.
Letting the user change the CPU (SoC) means a standard socket, every manufacturer has it's own. they will make standtarts.
Second, Allowing the user to create a phone would be very hard,You can go to computer shop and buy full build desktop, with the parts you ordered
as you need some way of assembling it without causing any damage, no company will give warranity for such a device. If you buy intel's, amd's cpu and put it in your computer the warrnty isn't ending.
Also, you can't just put any OS you want.on a pc you can install anything from windows, linux to mac (hack) Though here at XDA there are those capable of it, you need a bootloader, and it will be just to much work for a single piece of hardware. some shops will have what to do and they will have a job to do rather then just +300$ to each phone
this might be possible on tablets, which are bigger, but also there, it's far too complicated.simcards aren't complicated? I guess it would be the same
Also, can you buy a notebook without a CPU and all the rest? Full hardware customization is only available in desktop computers.the answer is yes, you can buy your same laptop model from 1.8ghz up to 3.0ghz, but it will be same buttons, same screen, same motherboard. you can take the ram out and upgrade it anytime you want. (and its not that hard)
But doing such a thing would be absulutely AWESOMEI would agree with you on that

You got some points there, but when I mean warranity on PCs, I mean prebuilded PCs, such as Dells etc. You can always build your own (I did it a few times). but with a phone, the cmponents are much much smaller.
I know you can install all OSes on a computer, but there must be a bootloader to be able to boot all of them.
Once there will be a device like that, I'm surely going to buy it.
ok, i know this is a site for phone devs but im sure some of you guys have built yourself a computer or to. i have built them but never assembled by hand. im trying to re build an old Compaq using a new mother bored and video card ( even a new power supply if needed) i would like to use all my old parts if possible other then the ram ( that can be new) id like it to be a high powered computer with DDR3 ram for gaming and media editing ( it needs to have more then 2 monitors plugged into it) if i have to i will buy a new case but i would very much like to use AS MANY of the existing parts as i can (ex: HD,fans, disk drive ..etc... my price range for the new parts is about $300-600 over time . (so i will buy the parts one at a time)
(it will run win 7 x64 or Linux upon completion ) if anyone knows ..how to *ehem* get ahold of the OS in an easy fashion please post/pm me

Thread moved. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.
The only thing that you can get from that is a working PSU, all the fans, RAM, HDDs, CD/DVD drive and the casing itself. Based on your preference, you have to change the motherboard and the processor to a newer one.
OR, you can stick with the old setup, but with liquid cooling for extreme overclocking and higher spec PSU. I think there is a PCIe slot in it, doesn't it? So stick in a higher end GPU and voila! XD
Budget? Dunno, there is so much difference in monetary exchange I lose my calculation.

I was planning to upgrade the mother bored and put a i7 in it with a new video card a bit later . I should be saving a bunch of money by recycling the old components. Considering I'm only going to need the mother and the i7 right away. Then mby a power supply ( which I may be able to take from an old computer somewhere )
It has 2 PCi and 1 pci e ( I was going to just upgrade with a video card at one point but the computer is just so slow and incompatible with most new cards )
I don't have much in terms of monetary funding so I was planning to do this over time .

So true. Though this is a bad time to purchase parts. Urgh, how I wish I bought my PC from back then before the flood happen. But then, purchasing all of it in one go is a good thing. You can get bundle price, freebies, and you ought to buy different things in that specific time, given that you have accumulate enough money. Aaaand, all the prices will be lower eventually. So, it's best for you now to start saving money and generate patience.
Since i often help guys with upgrades and so on.
I would suggest you please take my advice.
Too many people i know hurt them self by not saving and buying a entire new machine.
Sometimes they end up wasting way more than what was planned.
Also ask yourself this question "what am I using my PC for?"
Because i7 is way hardcore overpowered... but a very good choice for gaming.
Best of luck.
I'm on a:
AMD Phenom II x6 T1100
8GB ram
"Hybrid" gpu setup "not recommended to AMD 2GB 7890HD + n-vidia 250gtx on crossfire board"
It's not the best.. but it's a bang for what i paid.
So far nothing lags my pc... ever.
i can play "lol" while compiling in the background, watching anime and still have loads of resources left.

Then go for power.. save up.. buy once.

Nothing less than the T1050... and i suggest you stay away from the new bulldozer chips.
They need to mature more first.

i appreciate it !
what i have picked thus far
i chose liquid cooling due to the fact that the case i am using is small and doesn't have very much air flow.
(push pull configuration from back fan)
the PSU is variable but so far to be safe im going with a 500W
the memory is also something i might lower to 1x4gb however at this moment im going with 8
the I7 is so the computer has more power then my laptop
what i need to decide upon is a good Micro ATX motherboard that can handle the equipment im using and be able to have more then one 4 pin fan plug in
the motherboard also needs to be able to use all 4 of the PCIe/PCI slots on my computer with the ability to use the existing front USB (2x) ports and the 1 headphone jack also in front
i also need a good video card, i would like to be able to at some point fit 2 in (as an upgrade in the future ) but that is wishful thinking im going to be installing a wireless N card (at some point) so the MB needs to be able to have that with the video card
any ideas on a video card?
( i like nvida as a #1 and ATI as #2) in order of my favs

Hmmm...seems like a decent setup. But then, please revise your selection of PSU. The HD 6950 could drain a lot of power from that PSU as high as 300w. And for future expandability, I would recommend you to use higher output PSU. That is if you planning to use SLI or crossfire configuration. The casing is an OK, but for me, I don't really emphasis on casing. I'm a DIY user, that is. Hehe. As my opinion on the cooling system, there is no need for the processor's liquid cooling. For now, it is best for you to use stock cooling block as it is already adequate enough.
As for the alternative option, you can change entire casing and cooling system into custom liquid cooling system from Koolance. IF, you have extra budget to spare AND planning for expanding your setup or overclocking your processor and GPU.

what would you recommend as a good enough PSU? also i figured that if i off the bat installed liquid cooling in that one spot then when i did upgrade further (another day) and put in another video card i could still be safe in knowing that certain parts will stay cool .
like this one? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817159126
Any ideas? is it just RAM?

In order to stay within the Raspberry Pi foundations target price of $35 the only things that will likely be in revision C is more RAM due to it being farily cheap and potentially another USB 2.0 port. Unfortunately anything else such as PoE (Power over Ethernet) or a USB 3.0 port even though they seem simple would increase the price significantly.

Probably more CPU out of the box?
A gigabit ethernet would be a dream come true, but for that it'd need it's own controller which would increase the price exponentially.

have you guys noticed the "big thing from samsung" for their smart TV is a rip off idea of Raspberry pi
I doubt there will be a rev 3. More likely a 'Raspberry Pi 2'.

There is already a Ethernet controller on the board, but it would indeed have to be a more powerful and probably a lot more expensive one.

Don't forget the power consumption will also be higher and may also result in (even) higher temperatures.

They may also go with an expansion of product line, maybe a new price point with some oft requested features like PoL. As the current Ethernet implementation is via the USB 2.0, unless they switch to 3.0 they cannot support gigabit ethernet. So if you see one it will likely be accompanied by the other. but IMO, for the purpose of this organization (let us remember they ARE technically a charity) I doubt USB 3.0 is a priority. though PoL would be a useful feature.
What kind of power can PoE provide? And what voltage is it? Unless its 5 volt we will not see it happening as a good DC-DC converter is pretty expensive.

PoE provides waaaaaaay more power than the Pi needs. Not to mention PoE switches are expensive, they do not justify the price of an USB hub to power 4~7 Pis + a normal home gateway router and a home switch combo to interconnect them.
I would prefer a processor possibly dual core and a better ram and a couple of sata Ports.
There are better systems than the Raspberry Pi if you want raw power, such as ones with a 1GHz processor and a Mali-400 GPU for like $60. But they're not as well supported or mainstream, and that's why we use the Pi. Don't forget that it's mainly made for the education industry, and then the enthusiasts. They could raise the price by a small amount and add better features, but these things are usually bought in bulk orders, and that would make the price skyrocket.
Making the Pi easier to parallelise out of the box would open big steps forward without having to pour more and more onto each board each revision. More RAM is a given I think unless the market plays silly buggers.
Given the huge success of the pi, it's certainly possible they could release a consumer model, for a higher price and keep in he current model for the original purpose
Last I heard nearly a million sold, given they were anticipating a few thousand...

I hope that they stick to their guns rather than bloat the remit they initially envisaged for the Pi. The revision of A > B was smooth and didn't see a massive hike in price or intent which of itself deserves applause.
If every Pi revision is made on the basis of "the best board available for under £50" then I would be happy. Unfortunately I can't see quick hikes in power and capability under this remit.
Best learn to make lean code and eak every drop out of what we have! I just wish I were as knowledgeable about the Pi as I was the Sinclair Spectrum +2 back in the day. I miss assembly
I'd hope that they dump the full-size SD socket for a micro SD socket.

www.newark.com (an official distributor) sells SD-to-MicroSD adapters for $6.

I really wish for more processing power. If its a dual or possibly quad core CPU with at least 1g ram. It will still be cheap even if they triple up the price. Maybe a faster media for the OS like mSSD or usb3 but that would be asking a little bit too much.

Look up the Cubieboard. Even though I have a Raspberry Pi, I know this one's much better and it's only $49. USB (with host capabilities), IR Receiver, AllWinner 1GHz processor, 4GB onboard storage, 1GB RAM, SATA port (yes, SATA, for a HDD/SSD), MMC slot, and a bunch of other stuff.

Sure but the cubieboard is not available and possibly will never be. I'm waiting for this since it was presented for the first time and there seems to be no step forward. Another thing is the lack of wide spread linux support. Hardfloat and gfx drivers are missing steps here.
