For linux on mobile, You want Sailfish OS - https://sailfishos.org/ not Android. Also see https://jolla.com/ who made it.

Doesn’t Sailfish OS have a proprietary UI? How is that an improvement?

Why not support a FOSS mobile like Pinephone or Librem?

I use it. The mission is great. The reality not so. They seriously lack resources. The software is aging faster than they can maintain it.
