This kinda thing? forum.fairphone.com/t/…/11425
At the moment im still running CalyxOS on my FP4 because the issue i mentioned in my last comment was announced fairly recently.
If development on CalyxOS continue i would very much recommend it above all the other options.
If i decide to switch im gonna be trying out Ubuntu Touch for the first time soon. Ubuntu touch is a custom linux based OS that comes with waydroid which allows the device to run android apps in a sandbox. I havent tested this yet but from what i have seen it seems pretty nice.
For all the android ROMs (most of them being based on LineageOS) one important thing to consider is if they do OTA (over the air = self installing) updates. Some ROMs dont do this so you would have to manually flash updates through a computer+cable.
