Google made it official that important apps like Messaging and Dialer are no longer maintained in the Android Open Source project. A free Android on its own is pretty much useless now. https://android-review.googlesource.com/c/platform/packages/apps/Messaging/+/2614297 https://android-review.googlesource.com/c/platform/packages/apps/Dialer/+/2613992

Google has news on what you will need to do for still being able to sideload apps: * enable developer options * confirm that you are not tricked * restart phone and re-authenticate * wait one day * confirm with biometrics that you know what you are doing * decide if you only want unrestricted installs for 1 week or forever * confirm that you accept the risks * enjoy the few apps that still have developers motivated to develop for a user-base willing to put up with this https://goo.gle/advance-...
