How can I use an OS that's not iOS on Android as a daily driver? 99% of what I do on my phone is chat to my friends and pay for things, which I won't be able to do at all with the free OSes. I might as well go without a phone at that point.

I guess the offered way for problematic apps is Waydroid? I'd be interested to hear how that works in practice.

What's the problem? Use Ubuntu Touch with Waydroid and install the WhatsApp apk, or Signal, or whatever else.

You don't need to be using Android to run Android apps.
