Easier and more practical would be to install LibreOS. You can build ii
yourself and build/include your own software as needed - I did it many
times with its Cyanogenmod predecessor (I presume you still can).� There
are some other stacks suitable for phones such as sailfish and even
android can be built yourself (and you can defang/customise it while
doing it - google not needed and if you dont install GAPPS it still
works fine)

This is the most painless way of doing this. I have been using Gentoo
since the early naughties and love the customisation etc but on a phone,
not worth the pain. Ride off someone else's coat tails and the one I use
is LineageOS [1]. Except for the occasional blob for the wireless bits
and pieces which need a bit of ferretting around for, it just runs.

Andrew; I'll have to look into LineageOS. Still, a gentoo based,
portable stack for Arm and Snapdragon and other processors, are
straightforward with gentoo sources. Having multiple stack (cell-OS
buildouts) to run from via controlled semantics, is a good idea, imho.
Switching between several different embedded OSes on a cell phone, is an
intriguing idea. THANKS for that IDEA. Multiboot cell phones; totally
awesome ?
5G is paramount for me. Most are not aware, but 5G basically allows for
any person in good standing legally, to act as a pseudo-carrier, retail
or wholesale or free or (?). The most awesome features of 5G are not
being discuss publically, because there are many entrepreneurial
actions centric to 5G. 5G will be bigger than the current carrier/gov
based internet, more secure, and controlled by the equipment (that means
you and me) owner/operators. 5G is very security oriented, both in the
communications domain and the RF domain.
One new method of security is to use 'multi-path' over Rf links, that
are not regular (non-recurrent). The communications algorithms,
mathematically, are known as "walk-once" basically no repeated patterns.
That alone is but one "game_changer" baked into 5G. I just think Gentoo
needs to be on the 'forefront' of this communications revolution; hth.
thanks,
James
