Alternative OS for Android device

Installing Ubuntu Touch seems pretty easy to me maybe I should give it a shot?

1) is your device supported?
why not ry it
2) your device isn't? like 99%?
good luck going through that hell

Yeah, seems like I will have to port Ubuntu Touch to my device, as there's no entry in supported list.

Just buy one of those Meizu phones which officially support it. You probably don't have enough time, knowledge or patience to write as much code to make Ubuntu work on your phone. You've joined the party too late, should have bought an Ubuntu phone over 2 years ago to increase the demand. Nobody cares about them now so nobody sells them.

nice

Use AOSP or any custom ROM. As long as you don't flash gapps it's botnet free. If you were gonna flash gapps... well... then your choice of OS is irrelevant.

Well, I'm using CM 12.1 with no gapps (as you've said, it's a botnet) right now. But I'm pissed off by the performance of Android. Its Java Virtual Machine is the biggest shit ever implemented. It sure would be better if applications were native (or at least have a decent ABI for native apps).
> b-but, muh crossplatform compatability!?

It's not really JVM. Only apps use java. Core components are written in C and C++. JVM doesn't have much worse than native performance. And just as written here >>59299999 , you should have shilled and used Ubuntu phone more if you wanted a better Linux based phone OS.
