Repurposing a used Android

[cook.michael]

Hi,

 

I'd like to turn an old Motorola Droid into a device for home use. Ideally this will stay at my nightstand at all times. I'd like it to:

• be an alarm clock,
  
• play music from the internet, with a sleep timer,
  
• tell me the weather, time, and read calendar events to me on command
  
• take voice commands at all times to:
  

• set, snooze, or turn off alarms,
  
• tell me weather and temp,
  
• tell me calendar events
  

If you know of a simple way to do this, please let me know. I don't have much experience in rooting/breaking phones but I can do the research if led in the correct direction.

 

Please also suggest any further additions to this project that you think I'd like.

 

Thanks!
