I was looking into this earlier today. Apparently things like https://anbox.io/ https://anbox.io/ might provide a solution. I'm not sure how well they work in the absense of things like Google Play services, but that might be a solved problem with those apps being packaged for install by OSs like Lineage.
I too would love an open source smartphone, but couldn't see myself fully jumping on board without at least some pathway to support existing apps (even if they take a few extra steps to use).

- orthecreedence 6y agoYes, they might not like it, although I wonder if Anbox might have a non-rooted version that works just like non-rooted Android. Also, banking is one of those things where in 95% of the cases you probably don't need an app because they all have web portals (although, I know some banks don't let you deposit checks remotely without an app, so that is an issue).
