If you have a Nexus 5, NOT 5X, or Oneplus ONE laying around you can install UBPorts. Looks pretty solid. It *may* work with other phones with unlocked bootloader but official page only mentions these two phones.

Nexus 5 typically costs around ~80. 32gb models. it's still a decent spare phone.

I'm glad the community kept this one up, I keep rooting for either it or sailfish to come to more phones. I'd absolutely love to drop Android in favor of something truly community driven.
