So I’ve got Android as I want. LineageOS, no Google, Magisk, MicroG but with AndroidAuto with OsmAnd+.

But the outside world of WhatsApp, Bank apps, etc is putting pressure to join. Plus not everything works properly with MicroG instead of the Google service provider. Makes me cross techno-politically, but I can’t always hard life tech choices when it effects others.

So, what do others do? At the moment, I’ve thinking I need a non-free phone and a free-phone! Then what, I keep swapping SIM?? I can’t see a workable VM solution to run a non-free Android in a freer Android.

The state of the phone market is pitiful.

    Good enough with some. Unfortantly with this bank, they use the app to auth access at all. And the app doesn’t like custom roms and I’ve not managed to fool it. Finally trying GraphineOS this week, when the Pixel arrives.
