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
Where's the ultra power saving mode? I use Pixel

Maybe I just don't have it on grapheneos or something cause I can't find it
