For whatever reason, you want to set up a mobile device for hacking – or debugging. Search for a device that offers a solid base for mounting, hacking, debugging and testing. Also try to find a device that’s compatible with CyanogenMod OS. Revamping old mobile devices is the cheapest option.
Installing CyanogenMod OS
This process is pretty straight forward. If you need help, follow a detailed guide. During installation, you’ll want to grab the TWRP recovery image. Also, choose the smallest bundle available when installing Google Apps.
Enable Unapproved Software
It’s not uncommon to find yourself needing software that’s unapproved by Google Play. In order to avoid this hiccup, find instructions for enabling unapproved software based on your specific mobile device.
