Comment on Android won't kill sideloading after all, but new verification rules will make it harder

  LineageOS?

    I installed LineageOS on my Motorola and the data connection stops working… restored back to factory rom and it starts working again

    So I guess if you really want to use it as a wifi-only device, sure

    or daily drive 2 phones with one of them on the factory rom to use as a hotspot for the other one running Lineage

    Lineage, Graphene, and /e/ OS are all forks I believe, not alternatives (since they are dependent on the main Android branch for some updates and feature implementations).

    Linux phones don’t really have enough support for the necessary applications to be viable for most people, at least for now.

  There is the Linux-based Jolla phone:

  But their UI framework and Android app support system are not open source.
