Step 1: Reformat your Android phone

Step 2: Turn on ultra power saving mode (this disables everything in the system except a few apps such as phone and messaging)

Step 3: Never connect to the internet

Et voila. You have a dumb phone.

Now that I've seen this... Most of the things people want out of a dumb phone can be accomplished by putting an android on ultra power saving mode. Except physical keyboards.

Or just use Lineage OS with little to no extra apps
