What would it take to modify the operating system of something like a Nokia feature phone and why doesn't it seem like it's been done by now?
>>

They have announced or released 3 since December 2015. Mostly aimed at emerging markets like India.

To customize it to your liking. There is a middle ground between feature phones and smart phones to be found. It is an untapped market.

No sense doing that when you have relatively good chinese smartphones for sub $100.

>>58589389
Get an older Sony Ericsson w series.
They're almost fully customizable because of the thousands of OS hacks around, and the UI is written in XML or smth

Besides customization? Adding more functionality would be a good purpose.

Why do you think Lumia 520 was so fucking popular? Two reasons, it was fucking cheap and it was cheap.

At $30 Nokia had a slab with a surprisingly good camera for the price. Had they infused a dumbphone with that good of a camera or better it would sell just as good, there is a market for a dumbphone with good camera and wifi, sonim XP5 style.
