I'm hoping you can develop your own "ROM" for it, I wouldn't mind making everything like blocks to reduce GUI load if that's a thing. Like the Windows Phone UI, just my opinion. It's also on my wish list to do i3-wm on it so can get some ram back in desktop mode.

Yes, you can do it. Have a look at a minimalistic UI called SXMo: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=9913.
omg that's literally it haha, at least the i3wm part wow. It's funny too seeing it you're like hmmm but if you had a simple button toggle to use it as a phone or dock... man that's great.

Thanks for that link, was watching this video demo of it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfWKYZDtm1k

I do hope for all that effort you gain back something similar with the Ubuntu GUI and i3-wm(like 300mb of ram back)
