I've got several older Android phones that I've retired from use and are now collecting dust in my closet.

I'd like to use these units as something other than a cell phone (or a paper weight). What I'd like to do is disable the cell network component and use the phone either as a music player, or as a satellite enabled GPS receiver.

Are there any custom ROMs for this? While I can get these devices functioning as described above, whenever they are rebooted I get the "new phone" messages looking for service providers, and complaining that it is missing a SIMM card.

Thanks in advance: please don't flame me too badly if I'm being tragically unhip and noobish w/this request.

If you want to use your phones gps you will have to use wifi. If you want to use it as an mp3 player just put it in airplane mode. As for the new phone issue all I can suggest is that you reflash your current rom.
