Sadly back to Android :( (LineageOS 16)

Well, after using Sailfish OS 3.1.0.11 since its launch, today I went back to Android :( above my resume:
1) Android support is great, almost all apps are working (if is not mandatory to use google play services to work)
2) Since 3.1.0.11, signature spoofing is include in the OS, so is very easy to enable microg.
3) Sailfish OS apps are still very poor for overall users :/ The only app that I was using daily was Depecher (Telegram client, but with a few of features that are not working, didn't miss any as I didn't used those)
4) Long time using android apps and switching with others apps (native or android), make system crash or android support crash, so you have to reboot hole system or reboot android support through terminal.
5) Google is changing a lot of things that made microg almost useless :( whatsapp didn't made backup on drive anymore, Google Maps didn't work anymore, and Safetynet is not passing, anyway... Is issue related to microg and not Sailfish but make more difficult for overall user to use it [url]https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_RemoteDroidGuard/issues/24[/url]
6) I had a lot of problems with camera, sometimes stopped working and I had to reboot the device.
7) GPS support is not good as Android, as you have to be outside, wait almost 3 to 5 minutes to lock and make GPS working, so if you are hurry, and didn't have enabled GPS before, you have to be patiance.
I'm very happy with the improvement of the OS, as the first time I tried was with the Xperia X on 2017, but it still is not for overall users and if you want to try it, you will be have to be patiente and don't have problem rebooting, using Terminal, and looking for alternatives for common apps or services.
I'm following the progress of the OS since 2012, and I will following as I really love this OS, and will wait for the improvements and supporting as I can.
Hope to come back soon on this OS soon™ :)

8) I couldn't use my Mi Band 3, I don't know if is supported on Sailfish, but I read somewhere that Amazfit was working with an app, so... Probably more app related than to Sailfish.
