Quick reminder that starting September 2026, a silent update, nonconsensually pushed by Google, will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with Google, signed their contract, paid up, and handed over government ID: https://www.theregister.com/software/2025/10/29/keep-android-open-movement-fights-google-dev-requirement/1470903

Addition:

Several of these OSes, including Sailfish, FuriOS, Mobian, and postmarketOS are all pure Linux OSs. They're not derived from Android, but they can all run an Android VM or container, and so allow you to install and use Android apps.

I wonder why they didn't mention Fairphone. There are a few others worth getting an honourable mention too.

iodé

GrapheneOS - Partner with Motorola, although the first Graphene phone may not be until early 2027

Operating Systems (as are both above) that can be installed to a list of devices that can be purchased today. Nothing really new here, I just thought it might be nice to have a longer list of devices all in the one place.

LineageOS

PostmarketOS

/e/OS

CalyxOS (Discontinued?)
