Boxing Android
So I've got Android as I want. LineageOS, no Google, Magisk, MicroG but with AndroidAuto with OsmAnd+.
But the outside world of WhatsApp, Bank apps, etc is putting pressure to join. Plus not everything works properly with MicroG instead of the Google service provider. Makes me cross techno-politically, but I can't always hard life tech choices when it effects others.
So, what do others do? At the moment, I've thinking I need a non-free phone and a free-phone! Then what, I keep swapping SIM?? I can't see a workable VM solution to run a non-free Android in a freer Android.
The state of the phone market is pitiful.

If I cant find the app I need on fdroid, i usually just use the web version.
Banks don't always have a mobile friendly web interface. When you turn on desktop mode (Firefox on Android of course) the site may load but not be very useable. (Though sometimes that is more useable than a bad mobile site)
Its usually good enough. Mobile check deppsit doesnt work. Other things are fine.
Good enough with some. Unfortantly with this bank, they use the app to auth access at all. And the app doesn't like custom roms and I've not managed to fool it. Finally trying GraphineOS this week, when the Pixel arrives.
