Besides Waydroid there's also SailfishOS which has AndroidAppSupport, which works a lot better than Waydroid, but still isn't perfect. Of all the Linux mobile OSes, I think SailfishOS has the best design and ecosystem. You might have seen the preorder campaign for the new Jolla phone that might be interesting if you want to move away from Android phones.

That sounds like good work being done!

Afaik Jolla doesn't work in USA but if the is is open-source maybe I can find a way to install it

Sadly some parts of SFOS is closed source. I think it should work in the US, they just currently don't sell anything from their stores outside of the EU. Any community port should be able to run, but then without the official AndroidAppSupport and only with Waydroid.

AFAIK the only closed source component has something to do with the AndroidAppSupport, or am I wrong?

Closed source is closed source in any case though, and we don't like closed source.
