What about a linux phone that has a full Android OS sleeping in parallel? Like OnePlus Watch 2 that runs 2 OSs at the same time.

I was thinking that maybe such idea could be applied on a Linux phone that could run all your banking apps without Waydroid's "you-must-be-a-hacker" issues, literally by having a half-asleep Android running on another chip, which you can wake up whenever to do your "non-hacker" things, while at the same time you can run the rest of your system (calls, messaging, calculator, calendar, browser...) on your lightweight, private and personalized Linux mobile OS.
I think I would pay big bucks for something like this, and it could serve as a transition device for ditching Android in the future when Tux finally governs over the world.
What do you guys think?

BlackBerry was managed to run Android next to QNX somehow (BB OS10)
Pretty sure it just had an emulation layer for Android. I had a Passport when it was new, and I remember the phone was emulating a version of Android a few years old, so a few apps didn't work properly
Yeah, it was already on old enough version when it was a thing.
But to my understanding, it wasn't emulation, rather having a compatibility layer between QNX and Android.
so AFAIK, it was rather like Proton on Linux? but maybe I'm totally wrong here, haha.
I worked at BlackBerry (many years later) and this was my understanding. They were brutally reimpmementing all the Android APIs
I kinda liked how Android apps almost integrated to the Hub. 😄
I was really impressed with the hub. Such a well-implemented feature. I also miss the led that would blink a different color for different types of notifications or conversations
I think you have it right, I was being clumsy with my phrasing
