The OnePlus Watch 2 has 2 chips, and basically runs a lightweight OS while keeping the hungry one in very very low power, and only powering it up when necessary.

I was thinking that maybe such idea could be applied on a Linux phone that could run all your banking apps without Waydroid’s “you-must-be-a-hacker” issues, literally by having a half-asleep Android running on another chip, which you can wake up whenever to do your “non-hacker” things, while at the same time you can run the rest of your system (calls, messaging, calculator, calendar, browser…) on your lightweight, private and personalized Linux mobile OS.

I think I would pay big bucks for something like this, and it could serve as a transition device for ditching Android in the future when Tux finally governs over the world.

What do you guys think?

    My understanding is the Google Integrity API is not the same as Google Play Protect:

    The Play Integrity API helps you check that interactions and server requests are coming from your genuine app binary running on a genuine Android device
    […]
    Determine whether Google Play Protect is turned on and whether it has found risky or dangerous apps installed on the device

    Google Play Protect seems to function more like an antivirus

    Google Play Protect includes on-device capabilities that help keep devices and data safe. These on-device services integrate with cloud-based components that allow Google to push updates that constantly improve their functionality.

    Because Play Protect works doesn’t mean Integrity API will.
