      So there is no option without just buying a new handset? Obviously I’ll just have to use the adb way to get my apps until I can buy a different handset I guess

        My Pixel 6A died from water damage two weeks ago. Bought a Fairphone 6, flashed /e/ and relocked the bootloader. For a slightly tech savvy person really easy to do. So far, everything works fine including 3/3 banking apps. I didn’t install any Google made apps and except for the gboard keyboard and Android Auto I don’t miss anything. Both could be easily installed, but I’ll try to stay away on purpose. I’m really happy and can recommend! :)

            I just installed them via Aurora Store (FOSS alternative to Google Play). No tweaking required.
