If your country forces you on a locked down OS for ID requirements, something is wrong entirely. You should absolutely make some noise against that and urge them to allow custom OS. That's a political issue, not a technical.

Shit country tbh. You might be able to get a cheap stock android device for your ID and your "actual" device keeps living the good life on a custom rom. Idk how feasible that is for your lifestyle tho.
