    Is it even usable my dude? The phone oses all seem like “Linux desktop” maturity of 2 decades ago.

    Would my bank app work? Can I use it for navigation?

      I run Calyx and everything works for me except for Google pay. Google’s device validation is required for that, and since Google can’t separate the spying from security it’s a no go.

      My bank and Google maps works even. In fact you can download any app from Google Play itself via Aurora store.

      In most cases, yes. Otherwise you can try yourbank.com from a mobile browser

      Can I use it for navigation?

      Yes, with OsmAnd from f-droid. However, it does not have many addresses so if you search (business name) and a nearby one doesnt show up then get the address from the web and enter it into https://gps-coordinates.net and use the first 7 numbers. Example “xx.xxxxx -xx.xxxxx” and that will do it for sure
