Robin Module Shift Hardware Replacement

Just receiving my 1st Shift days ago, I am have been scouring the net to find upgrade solutions to make the Shift even better.
I came across this website that sells tiny credit card sized internal motherboards that support Linux, W7 & WM6.x for around $200 (spec below)
Assuming that you could take a broken Shift, gut it, and reassemble using a board from www.Toradex.com, is it possible to swap the internals of the Shift?
(Of course the alignment of the slots and everything would not line up, that much I know), but, for pure hobbyist sake, since these boards are very tiny could the MoBo be changed for both W7 & WM sides?
And, to spark the excitement, if I were to sponsor the board for a developer, would someone be interested in trying to makeshift this board into the shift 2? (and of course, on a scale of "ultimately to hopelessly", just how impossible is this to do?)

Darn! I'll have to keep looking!

keep looking and keep dreaming!
My opinion is that Shift has great potential and all the HW anyone needs but its locked,disconnected and unusable at least not right now,let's focus on unlocking all the parts like SD,BT,Fullscreen,etc..

I'm in the right place.
I'm living here in China, and many of my students have access to factories which produce this sort of thing. The only difficulty is the fact that it'd be a lot of money to fund a project like remodeling the innards of a shift. It's not really something that a hobbyist could do on their own, as we're dealing with such small components.

Hi Caid, Yes, most certainly the case with cost, and more so the case with the small parts. It's a shame that these smaller formfactors are coming about, but being used in the wrong places, like a vehicle CarPC, rather than a truly cool device like the Shift.
If only there were a way to make a "Frankenstein" version of the Shift..

We received an interesting tip today about a new LG Android smartphone named Optimus 4X. While the above render is not that conclusive, the thir screenshot reveals some rather interesting hardware specifications.
If this tip turns to be in some way true, LG Optimus 4X smartphone at its 8mm thin will run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, boasts a 5.3 OLED HD touchscreen (an outrages 2650×1900 pixel resolution i would say), powered by a 2.2GHz processor, Mali T-604 GPU, 2.5 MB of RAM, 64GB of ROM (built-in memory storage), 4G LTE technology (up to 75Mbps), microSD card slot up to 32GB and a 3200mAh battery.
LG Optimus 4X also could sport an 18MP camera on the back, NFC-enabled, WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 and more. The whole list of specs looks out of this world for an Android device but in a world where the first Android tablet runs a Quad-core CPU since 2011. Who knows what 2012 has in stored for us. Anyways take it with a pinch of salt until get any kind of confirmation.

The phone is gonna be massive?
-My life is a shooting range, people never change-

LG needs to establish itself as one of the top phone manufacturers. This is the kind of phone that would put them on top.

Sounds like somebody just added all his wet dreams into one model and then just doubled all values for good measure going "teheeheeeee". That phone is physically impossible to build atm inside a reasonably small and thing phonesized case, I'd say. Plus, a way to large jump. Why would a maker give up all the sales he can do with minute little improvements from year to year? That Mali GPU must be a wonfrous chip, if it wants to beat all other phones at 3D speed at that resolution. But who knows, maybe the pictrues are misleading and it's actually a huge brick

No I don't think vapourware will help LG. This is very very fake.

Just saying, I would buy any phone if it had a 2650×1900 resolution (at a reasonable price).
But yeah... definitely a fake.

The comparison written in Korean said...
the UI is Touchwiz 5.0
and the Screen using OLED isn't make sense.
I guess it is fake about the spec..
The one who post that comparison make a mistake, or a joke to us.
but, who knows? only LG does..
But one thing I'm pretty sure, LG would name one device called 4X in the future.

this is a fake news and fotos

if design on real phone, was like the one on pictures - this phone would be priceless)

I'm assuming you don't mean dual core cpu? The a8 is single core unlike the mali gpu but still looks very good value.

This reminds me of the viewsonic gtablet I got for free, rooted it with hc and then gave away for free. It had decent hardware for how old it was, but weighed enough to kill someone if you needed to use it for self defense purposes
It wasn't "the hot thing" on the market though, so custom roms for it were rare because it'd be like putting a custom paint job on a Kia... fail.
If people buy these things and there is support in the dev community out there it could be good, but I keep hearing this voice in my head thats saying "you get what you pay for".

Seems interesting, but may be too good to be true (especially the price)

Type of RAM in the Xperia Z?

Does anybody know the clockspeed and type of RAM used in the Xperia Z?
Is it GDDR2 or GDDR3 or another type?

Its not the GDDR type since that is used on graphics card and cost a fortune compared to normal DDR type.
It would be DDR2 or DDR3 but i think i read somewhere on the forums it uses DDR3

It uses the APQ8064 S4 pro, the chipset information states this in the memory section :
Dual-channel 533 MHz (8.5 GB/sec)

DDR3 it is.

Wrong, its LPDDR2 I believe.
As far as I'm aware, S600 is the first to support DDR3.

There is no mention on the White paper or the User manual or the website that the RAM is DDR3, so I would not think it was (considering afaik S4Pro supports only DDR2 ram).
If the Z was DDR3 they would tout it as a feature since it would be the first DDR3 phone.
Hence my belief it is not. If you find documentation that states otherwise then let me know. But for now I will believe it is DDR2.

Either way. for the 8.5 GB/sec its either using the high-end DDR2 memory or Low end DDR3, you cant go wrong with either.

Has nothing to do with high end or low end.
It simply means that the ram is at 5xxmhz

Re: [OFFICIAL]Xperia Z vs Galaxy S4(Mar14) & All Upcoming Phones-Don't start new thre
Wrong thread.

The Xperia Z has LPDDR2 (LP = Low Power) like most smartphones today. No smartphones are using LPDDR3 today, but it is expected that Samsung will be the first (or one of the first) to use it this year (GS4 maybe?), and LPDDR4 for tablets will be on the market in 2014.

Yes, it has been confirmed that Galaxy S4 uses LPDDR3 RAM. It seems to be the first phone to use one, even though HTC One uses S600 but I read it somewhere that it uses LPDDR2. But for Xperia Z, it's a no go for LPDDR3 as the chip doesn't support it.
For me S4 is no CM friendly but you can expected long support from Samsung like S2.
One is CM friendly but software features and hardware specs are below S4.
Xperia Z is the least interesting of all both hardware and software but it can play with me in the bath. I might go with it.

Galaxy S4 does indeed use LPDDR3:

Nice phone for the money.
Be better if kernel source were released so the xda wizards could
do some development.

Already own this. Enhanced version.

do we know if this device gets official MIUI V6 or KitKat in general ?????

MIUI 6 for sure.

This is indeed a nice device.
One question does this device has screen protection such as Gorilla Glass or Dragontrail Glass like Redmi/Hongmi 1s?

Doesn't list it in the specs. Just says it is an IPS-LCD Screen.
IPS stands for in-plane switching. An IPS-LCD is a type of thin display that offers better viewing angles than TFT-LCDs. IPS-LCDs feature two transistors for each pixel, where TFT-LCDs use just one. This requires a more powerful backlight, which delivers more accurate colors, and allows the screen to be viewed from a wider angle. The downside is that an IPS-LCD may consume more power than a TFT-LCD.
IPS-LCDs typically are found on high-end cell phones and portable devices. Apple's iPhone and iPad both feature IPS-LCDs, as does the Motorola Droid.

where can you buy the 16gb version?
i found the 2gb ram version here but it says it only has 8gb
with regard to the 2g/3g it says it supports:
2G: GSM 900/1800/1900MHz
3G: WCDMA 900/2100MHz
does this mean i would get full HSDPA speeds on the Three network in the UK like i do currently with my Galaxy Note 1 (N7000)

No

May not get. It won't take time to do so for them. When indian companies like xolo did for many 1 year old phones immediately after release, why can't Xiaomi?

http://en.miui.com/thread-67454-1-1.html
All Redmi phones will get MIUI 6 developer version and stable version; We will try our best to release some beta versions by the end of Dec. 2014

I think the device is pretty great for the price tag.
Got some really nice specs of you ask me.
Works great in general use, web surfing with chrome is butter smooth and sweet gaming performance as well.
My only hardware issue is with the camera, despite being a 13 MP camera, it's pretty lame, but still you can get "okay" photos out of it.
And yea Btw, blame Mediatek for the source code. [emoji16]
