The 6a replacement screen is damn near the price of another used phone. I’m with the other poster, I ended up just getting another used phone, a Moto Razr+ 2023 fold. Unfortunately, no custom ROMs for it that I’ve found.
So I’m a farmer and the unholy things that my phone get subjected to makes it hard to find something that’s strong yet useful. I’ve either been lucky or this phone is exactly right for my lifestyle. It folds up small enough that it doesn’t get bent in my pocket or fall out. I’m a little worried about the outer screen but I’ve dropped the phone closed a couple times on gravel, no damage. And I think it closes up small enough that it might survive a trip up the grain auger, which is what got one of my phones a couple years ago. I haven’t had a phone survive so long undamaged yet. And I just have a pretty minimal case on it, no hinge protection.
Now that I say that, I’ll break the screen tomorrow, I imagine.
If you don’t find a FOSS one, my wife and I have used OurGroceries for years and it’s a dead simple shared list app that can do more if you want, but it’s hidden behind the simple bit. I’ve been thinking I should build a selfhosted version myself because if it went offline, I’d be lost. I use it for quick lists if I’m working on something and need a bunch of stuff from the garage/toolbox, or a list of things I want to research later, etc, etc.

That’s still far from little known. If we’re going by public perception, nobody knows wtf BYD is either. If we’re going by industry knowledge, both are 300 lb gorillas. And I’m suspecting something wrong with that number, because CATL was the undisputed big boy in vehicle batteries a couple years ago.
I switched from a Pixel 4a to a Moto Razr when the 4a lost support, because I wasn’t going to go any bigger than the 4a. Wish it had a custom ROM like Graphene though.
I’ve actually been really happy with the Razr for size and screen protection when folded. Haven’t broken it yet and that’s a record for me.
