I used the Galaxy 3 with Android 2.1 until September 2013 when I bought a HTC Desire Z which I used CyanogenMod 10.1 on.

My new phone that I'll be ordering in a few days is going to have 8GB RAM and 256GB internal storage. We really have come a long way, but sadly programmers get lazier and lazier. Instead of writing efficient code that uses the least amount of resources possible, they compile in dozens of entire libraries where they may only be using 1 single function from the entire library, which could bloat the program by 20 times the necessary size, and system requirements. If programmers actually cared (or their bosses), and wrote efficient code, pretty much every app could run better and faster on 10 year old devices with 1/10th the RAM and storage than current apps run on todays flagship phones.

If I recall correctly from having my own S-On'd HTC Rezond in the past, you can still mod the phone with an unlocked bootloader and S-On. You just have to manually flash the boot image after flashing a ROM ZIP in TWRP or whatever. So flash the zip, reboot the phone to bootloader, flash the boot.img you extract from the ROM zip manually, and then reboot again and it should be good to go. Keep in mind this was from like 8 years ago so I really don't remember the exact process, I've long since gotten rid of the thing. But as for general instructions this is what I had to do to get ROMs on my HTC.

A big contributing factor to old smartphones like these being so slow is eMMC degradation. Back then, non-volatile flash memory had a much shorter lifespan compared to storage in modern phones- it takes eMMC less than 5 years to degrade, so when you're talking about a phone with eMMC that is 10+ years old, it's going to be quite slow regardless of what software it's running. I had a lot of great android devices turn into e-waste from the era when their eMMC inevitably degraded to the point of them failing to boot. UFS/NVMe in modern phones can last 10+ years, so I imagine newer phones will age much better.

Would be interesting to get some sources on this other than "trust me bro". I only know of 3 device models that universally suffered from eMMC degradation, and that's the Nexus 7, LG G3 and G4, and it doesn't happen from it just being a certain number of years old but wearing prematurely. And having seen the CPU usage on multiple old (2011-2013) phones like this with updated gapps and all the bloat that brings with it, blaming it on eMMC is just nonsense. These phones run pegged at 100% for anything but basic tasks and as mentioned multiple times in the video, RAM is at a premium which doesn't help either. Go get a cheap first gen Moto G (XT1032) and update all the google app crap from the stock versions it comes with. It'll go from reasonably usable to painful just from doing that alone.

I bought a similar old HTC phone with a plan of converting it into a full fledged cycle computer but like 95% of my projects I never get around to it. I feel such phones nowadays are only really suitable for a single task like a cycle computer or a media player or something like that as you have to keep everything to a bare minimum and keep the android system as vanilla as possible to keep the speed up.

The android era when the phones were useless out of the box because they couldn't do much more than calls and sms without an SD card. Not to mention the OS itself was feature-starved.

Maaaybe there is a possibility to swap the phone's internal memory to a external sd card. I've heard of people running android from sd cards before. This would fix most slowness from old phones you get, as the main culprit of these phones being sluggish even on stock firmware is the slow and dying emmc flash.

I love old technology. Idk why though.

Not bad, not bad at all! Much better than my Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus, from 2012; also much better than my ZTE Blade 3, also from 2012. My Dad used to use the latter as a basic phone until recently, and it works fine. The former has just been kept in a drawer as a glorified MP3 player as it has Android 2.3, which is far too old to use. This phone seems almost as good as my Galaxy S4 running Android 4.2. And it was much cheaper. So really no that bad.

Oh my god, the nostalgia! This was my second smartphone!

My first smartphone was an HTC Rezound here in the US. Very similar to the sensation but with a FULL GIG of RAM. It actually came with low android 3.0. I unlocked the bootloader (you have to get an unlock code from HTC, probably doesn't work anymore) and S-offed. You had to physically short a few contacts under the battery door to do it. After not using it for a while I finally flashed the latest rom on xda and wiped nearly everything off it including system apps and used it to just play games. Before android I loved jailbreaking ipods, but ever since 2011 I haven't owned another Apple device. And every smartphone I've had has been rooted
