Does anyone have a working Android 6 or Android 7 device in a drawer somewhere that they want to donate to the #Conversations_im project? (Anything higher or lower doesn’t work unfortunately)

While refactoring A/V calls I got myself into a situation where I can no longer verify that calls are working on these devices without access to a physical devices. (Emulator has knows issues when it comes to A/V calls.)

The oldest device I have access to *shipped* with Android 8 (and runs Lineage OS 17)

What year(s) would these have come out? I think I have some old phones (not iPhones, maybe Nokia) when we were on Sprint in the 2000s.

I just found a OnePlus A3003 that should be shipped with Android 6 and might be updated to Android 7.
I'll charge it to check if it's working and which software version it's running.

Oh and it's probably Oxygen OS not vanilla Android.

i have a motorola e lte 2015 (surnia)¹ somewhere. it would have los 17 on it but i could probably get it down to 14.1 (android 7.1.2). old android stock rom links seem to be all dead though

if that helps i'd try to locate it

Hi, we met at #37c3 , I am the #TinyWeatherForecastGermany #dev .

Is this what you look for?

Disclaimer: china refurbished, rom likely not original, bootloader locked because this is the AT&T US model.

Because of the locked bootloader, you cannot flash a custom recovery / rom on it.

I'm pretty sure I have a Nexus 5 in a drawer somewhere still. I can bring it to Fosdem if you don't have anything yet by then :)
