I know i could leave it stock, but i wanted to remove features it will not need, and have something that can use bluetooth speaker to play music, and i dont have to worry about it being stolen or damaged.

Streaming is not an option for me, first because i oft work either underground or in places with so bad reception that the battery goes down fast.

Shelling out 400€ for FiiO would be nice, but then i would not leave my shiny fiio lying around on construction sites. I would use my fiio m5, but for some reason it stopped seeing bluetooth devices and cannot pair at all ( updated to the latest possible fw, nothing helps )

Any other ideas ?

    I have the same idea on my mind for a while but seeing how messy the Android space is (mix of gamers and tinkerers), how heavy it is to compile a ROM (250Gb of data), knowing how shity vendor shares - if any - drivers… I feel that it would be better to throw away (in a recycle park of course) that ie: samsung s4 an buy a basic music player.

    it’s sad that it is so difficult to build a minimal ROM for an obsolete but still powerful smartphone.
