I'm always looking for a new project with raspberry pi's. Currently trying to build a semi-smart phone with a 2G wavshare modem and some code which was stolen from this project:
GitHub
GitHub - evanman83/OURS-project: Step-by-step instructions to build a smartphone that is open-source, upgradeable, repairable, and Big Tech free.

 Kinda stuck though as while I can text and call - I can't make the audio work in either direction. Might be time to give up, and work on setting up a pi-hole at the router. Would love to remove those ads network wide!

From experience, Brave browser is far more successful at removing ads then Pi-hole was. Most companies, like YouTube or Facebook don't have separate servers to serve their ads and so Pi-hole's DNS approach is not very effective. Pi-hole did work well on less popular sites that outsource their ads to external companies tho.
