So I am looking for someone to discuss this with me because it would be a nice revive for the nokia n97

Idk about that kinda stuff bjt i think i would be worth a go as long as u got a soldering iron cuz u might have to rewire some of the data pins depending on the size connector

ekko9952

Ive been trying to do that, but I am unsuccessfull in the code its need to use it. thats out of my knowledge

like the Pi's need software for every device, mostly it gets it from the device itself or by internet. but this one is literally one of the first touchscreen phones that exist. so thats the problem. the software for it is ancient to get it from internet. the software for it are also only run by windows 7 and impossible to get this time

maybe a handy man with more knowledge can do something with it, device is ready, needs some adjustments in hardware and software and all is good

Can you find a part no on the display or the driver circuit? That could help you or a logic analyser.

ekko9952

there is no number, but I have found an alternative way

im planning to buy a 3d printer to print a custom case which has a sliding option to put the raspberry pi in it. and attach a connector so that the nokia also powers up the pi, alternative is that you use a powerbank if you wanna use it outside. but the pi zero connects to the nokia display with the 2 apps I named

ekko9952

so basically the issue is solved (halfly) because I want to make the pi zero the main board in the nokia

after that you connect bluetooth so that the connection between the 2 never goes away
