.. from Android 8 (!) upwards.

(I'm still using a perfectly workable phone that is forever stuck on Android 5)

Does it mean you need to turn on location services as well, or just grant the permission? Noticed recently that WifiAnalyzer on fdroid needed location permissions (and explained why) but I never turn location on so just downgraded to 1.9.3.

Which phone? If you're willing to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom OS load, you could probably get 8 or at least 7.

Not OP, but my 2013 1st Gen Moto X (Verizon) is also stuck on 5(.1) and the bootloader is not unlockable.
