        I can’t use my banking app on lineage and those wonderful folk at the bank have made it so that you cant confirm online purchases without.

        Well, if you can unlock the bootloader you can port it assuming the device manufacture is in compliance with the GPL.

        Might be easier to just look into a supported device when the old one breaks.

          Most people can port anything. And most of the ones who can have better uses for their time.
