It's time for me to look for a new phone or install GraphineOS and this is what's holding me back. If I do all the work to switch over to GraphineOS and then Alphabet/Google make it impossible to run unapproved apps so I have to buy a new android phone anyway.

I'm just hoping for a postmarketOS phone that can last a full day on a charge and keep LTE4 speed data service.
