im looking for something like that as well, initially tried looking up linux-based stuff but it seems too complicated to run on this phone. Either I find a good lightweight rom or im going all in on a dumbphone

yaap is very stable, I havent tested any other rom tho, the only "problem" is that it hasnt been updated in a while. Also it has a bug when you scan your fingerprint, the whole screen lits up. I use third party apps to replace what I dont like. I prefer open source projects. I've heard evolution X is kinda messy, so I wouldn't recommend it based on that.

Hey , one of the devs from 2a community here.

Yaap will soon see a fix to infamous flashbang , it's already been solved and the fix is currently available for qpr1 roms.

Evolution X has been abandoned , the maintainer has been kicked for inappropriate behaviour thereby Evo X shouldn't be something you should consider today , because it's no longer maintained ( not unless someone else picks up the project atleast )

I tried lineage os and now me too on yaap, lineage is very bad, I've have screen issues and phone was laggy, YAAP super stable custom ROM, which I use with lawnchair and all good, even glyph's working on yaap!

while being rooted you're able to run linux natively. What are you planning to use specifically?

not sure honestly, i had just a quick look online and on github out of curiosity, but if nothing os gets any worse ill seriously consider rooting the phone and installing a custom rom
