Default Hardware Modding

I was just wondering if anyone has ever contemplated ever actually unsoldering the internal mem chip and upgrading it to a bigger one then porting a hero rom over to it....... And hell if you can do that imagine about the processor??????

That seems like a good idea, whether or not it's possible you'll probably have to bring it up with someone who knows about hardware and the g1 It might not work though because alot of the ROM is scaled to work with the default hardware and what happens if you mess up during the replacing of the hardwares? Could end up with a lot of messed up g1's before we can get this working

you just need the surface mount soldering machine to do it

Some things can be summed up to user error. If 95% of the people have no problem it must be your problem.

Someone already posted about wanting to do this on another thread, probably in the Dream section. He's actually waiting to source the RAM chips before attempting it.

Also Android would take full use of the RAM as I would imagine it would only take a few tweaks to Android to tell how much RAM it has to play with, if at all.

Yeah, not too much would go havock. You'd have to change different values in the frame work and ensure that everything is cross-compatible, so that it knows how much to utilize...but since all hardware features go through one point, it shouldn't be too hard to do.

Now, the physical part of it might be, haha.
