Turning into a gadget

For a long time already, in 2005, Siemens sold Benq's mobile production, after which a number of Benq-Siemens phones were released. Enthusiasts hoped (based on network rumors) that a Nokia-Siemens division would appear, but this is only speculation.

Ask what all this is for? In addition, despite the fact that the owners of Siemens and Benq-Siemens phones can now expand the functionality of their, perhaps, not very new phones to the level of smartphones.

What does a modern man use on the phone? I read, I communicate on JCQ / Jabber, I write SMS and I just call. I have a Siemens CX75. But now he can:

• Collapse tasks
• Switch between tasks
• Keep an ICQ or Jabber client in the background
• Play mp3 (say, and so maybe? If it were a CX65, it could also, it is already possible)
• Convenient search for contacts
• View files of different types
• Open archives: RAR, ZIP, 7z
• Use miniGPS features
• Sign midlets
• Play games NES, Sega, etc.
• etc.

All this became possible when several enthusiasts changed the official firmware of the phone and were able to run applications written specifically for the ARM processor, which work similarly to the Simenso software and use the ELF production standard (Executable and Linking Format). No java.

Since the elves are executed directly by the processor without intermediate add-ons such as the java-machine, they have access to all the RAM and absolutely all the firmware functions created by Siemens programmers. The speed of execution of any commands is limited only by the power of the processor, so it is huge, ten times faster than the speed of execution of java-applications.

Detailed installation instructions can be found on the forums at allsiemens.com and siemens-club.org .
If you wish, you can write the elves yourself, because there is an instruction .
