In this tutorial, we are going to show you how to use old Android phones as a texas instrument calculator for free.

What do you need for this project?

  • Android phone
  • An installed ROM

1. Download the ti-89 ROM on your android phone

You will find a lot of websites that provide you with ROMs of calculators.  Just download the ROM on your phone because we will open it with the application that we will install in the next step.

I have the ti-89 ROM on my phone.

2. Install the emulator on your phone

First, you need to install an emulator on your android phone. You will find a lot of emulators on play store, so choose the one you like and install it on your android phone. This emulator helps us to run the ROM of the calculator. I will install the “Graph 89 Free” for this tutorial.
