Dumbphones

Smartphones dominate the world. But have we become smarter by using them?

This community is oriented for people who prefer either so-called "dumbphones" or "feature phones" in order to regain control of their life.

Here is a very simple set of rules to follow:

  1. Don't be rude to others.
  2. Don't harass or shame somebody for not being hardcore dumbphones fan. Everybody does it his own way.
  3. Keep this community simple: discussions must be dumbphone or smartphone-oriented, not about dogs or food.

All in all, enjoy your time here :D

The resources for this phone seemed to be scattered around the internet so I went ahead and wrote a simple on guide for it.

It covers: Rooting the phone, Installing Magisk (root), passing SafetyNet and debloating the phone. The phone is very barebones once you uninstall most of the apps! I like it a lot.

For the F21 Pro, there's actually a surprising amount of resources that are up to date, much much more than for the F22 Pro.

And here's a nice XDA thread too

The F21 Pro is actually a really nice and capable phone, I like it. Even the 3/32 model is pretty useable. I mean really, no toll on performance.

Only thing with the 3/32 is that if you want to use ROMs, most likely you need to fully format the device EXCEPT THE BOOTLOADER, I mean other than that, wipe the whole thing down to nothing. It's pretty scary, but then you can Format All + Download in SP Flasher for the ROMs.

Be really really sure you have backup of your factory ROM.
