I'm currently looking to develop an open source app that can help somebody. I'm currently out of ideas, so I'd like to heard if from you guys.

Sorry if it seems to lazy to ask for ideas like that, I just thought that I could do it since the result will be a free app.

God, you know what I really wish I could do?
Run an Android VM on my phone. Imagine being able to do whatever you want with your device and still having a "stock" device for those pesky apps without having to actually have two phones.

It is seemingly possible, but the only app I've ever seen do it was "VMOS": a proprietary app, impossible to trust.

I'm running Android apps on my laptop using Waydroid. Works really well
