Custom/Homebrew Cellphone

Dear Experts, Or any one else with constructive advice

     To get straight to the point, i am trying to create or modify a cell phone to implement more hardware accessories such as

 

-pentaband full CDMA and GSM usage on any carrier like Galaxy nexus

-ir blaster

-full size usb support

-web-top features

-4.2" gorilla glass screen (IPS if possible)

-Usb embedded cable as well

-Increase antenna for much better reception

-satellite connection capabilities

-dual core 1.2ghz at least

 

i made some quick mock up drawings and there pretty bad but i honestly just need some direction. I would prefer to simply mod the hardware on a cellphone and make a new encasement for it to save myself some work but im up for the challenge if it requires more. this will be running android as

well. thanx for the help guys. Element14 WHO RAW!!!

     -Daniel

    You may want to take a look at the OpenMoko GTA04:

    Unfortunately, the specs are not that competitive with latest smartphone hardware, but this does look easier to mod.

     

    Cheers,

    Drew
