  • “Full control” and “cell phone” are fundamentally incompatible. Modem firmware is always a black box, most communication hasn’t been reversed yet, the cell towers are black boxes.

    Closest you can get is use an actual pocket computer (well, they don’t make those anymore, disable the modem of a smartphone and it’s close enough). And for actual phone calls like for work, you could use one of these MT62xxx phones with MediaTek MAUI. Turn it off when you don’t need.

    Before you go port Doom, basically none of them have an application interface compiled in, mostly because they cheap out on enough RAM to be useful with that. Most non-brand ones have fake “Facebook” and “YouTube” apps that just say “Network error” and exit. Although there is some vague leaked code in the footnotes for the article I’ve linked, and the latter one seems to be complete along with .chm documentation files, so could be a fun little project to build something somewhat functional out of it and maybe write a built-in application to share with a patch file (like with those pre-Symbian Nokia nuggets).
