ROM/Linux-based-OS like LightPhone 2/Samsung Ultra Power Saving Mode?

[hyperkin]

Greetings.
I am addicted to my mobile phone, I spend hours and hours by browsing internet/playing games and so on. It keeps my mind busy while I'm studying, and since I need to study efficent, it's become a necessity for me to overcome such addiction. So I thought buying an big button mobile phone, but then i thought instead of buying a mobile phone maybe I could turn my phone into a less useless machine, just like LightPhone 2. This phone only has calling, sms, gps and a few other functions. Old Samsung Galaxy phones had this kind of power save function where you only could call/set alarms/send messages So, is it possible for me install this kind of tool/OS to my Redmi 4X?

Thanks in advance.

If you are using MIUI then you may want to use lite mode(it is in settings).
When you turn on lite mode device gets restarted and after restart you'll see different UI which has very big fonts and only important apps listed in there(all other apps can be use in apps section)
Lite mode may help you out if you are looking for such things considering your thread.
Try lite mode or if you are using any other custom ROM check on YouTube for MIUI lite mode for details.

Few little tips from me which actually did help me to study well and not to be on mobile phone.
Back in time I whenever I had to study I always take care not to keep mobile phone or other electronic gadget around me and it did helped me to study well. You may also try keeping device away from you when studying.

Also don't install games apps which keeps you busy and not let you study, uninstall them right away.
Don't turn on mobile data/Wi-Fi if isn't necessary to have because you'll get distracted easily if you get any notification and can't stop yourself from checking it.

Don't have any movies/other media content downloaded on your phone.

I like to listen music and I almost had many song on memory card. I wasn't able study because I was keep going back to listening music so i removed the memory card and kept in Mobile phone box to over come from it.

Don't have unlimited mobile data plans activated it is an easy distraction.
You can set mobile data limit or restrict apps/games from using mobile data/Wi-Fi.

Whenever you are about to study make sure you have brows the internet/played games or checked other activities already so that you won't get distracted to check phone while studying. Do not forget to keep away phone before studying and study in 30 or 45 minutes of interval so that you won't get bored.
Okay that would be just enough ??
Cheers!
Best of luck for your study.

I suggest you to use sailfish os. but it has limited app support and i dont tested it so much. I can not say anything about rom's stability

It's not stable enough for daily use (I missed phone calls and there is a proximity sensor bugs).

My suggestion would be install a custom ROM (Lineage OS with no gapps) and remove apps you find distracting.
