    Do any alternatives allow using banking apps or android pay or android auto?

    I realize there are no substitutes for banking apps, but are there any alternatives for android auto or pay if those cannot be installed? Preferably Linux alternatives.

      /e/OS works with most, according to this list.

      The founder of /e/OS has a blog where he talks about alternative payment solutions, and he mentions Curve being one.

      I just recently ordered the Fairphone with /e/OS, and will be looking into this myself soon enough…

        Curve is not available in US and has terrible reviews on Play store.

        I’d switch in a heartbeat, but I can’t live without a smart watch and having to pay with physical cc again would be a massive downgrade.

        I have a suspicion that all the android clones will become a much worse/unusable experience once Google implements these changes.

      Seriously, I see these custom Android Auto USB Sticks that people use to watch Netflix and I just want to know how they hooked into the APIs to do that
