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

@grote I guess anyone willing to jump through all those hoops has already installed Graphene or Lineage or whatever.

Pretty much yeah, I grabbed a Pixel 10a for graphene and that'll probably be my last one.

I'm still using my S5. I'm aiming to use it until it's old enough to drink. Not long now!
