I hope a consistent, user-friendly alternative that works on all Android phones arrives soon. I’ve tried so many with an old phone and they’re always a pain to install and then don’t work quite right. I also don’t want to spend $500USD for a phone designed specifically to sidestep Android.
It would help if Android/Google didn’t consistently try to block every single thing that would allow you to get rid of Android, but they’re never going to allow that.
I hope that something user-friendly and consistent arrives soon. I will ditch Android in a second when that happens.
While I agree with most of the things you said, automatic reboots is a good security feature. And it isn’t android that’s the problem. It’s Google Play Services.

If you’re referring to bootloader unlock, that’s not really anything to do with Android, that’s to do with carriers and manufacturers. The first-party devices don’t have that.
Fuck Android.

Uh apple is already implementing this too.
It’s been in Apple devices since iOS 18 and it’s a good thing Android is adding it.
