Same. I wish there were an alternative (a practical pocket computer), but there really isn't. So I too gave up on fighting my phone, and have also completely stopped doing mobile development. I now treat my phone essentially as an untrusted, prepackaged walled garden with limited utility. :-/

There really is: https://puri.sm/products/librem-5.

And it's my daily driver.

Appreciate the feedback. For some reason I feel like I dismissed this as an option at one point, but that was long ago. I'll take another look!
I use Sailfish OS as my daily driver since 2013.

Thanks for the info. I haven't looked at this in a while. I'll take another look!
