    I just need sudo and a package manager

    The promise of the smart phone was a mini computer in your pocket. I think we got it, but then the vendor locked the user out of admin on their own bought and paid hardware 🤷‍♂️

      Try Termux, it’s great.

      While it doesn’t get you sudo, it does get you a package manager and a decent amount of programs.

      I use it and rclone to sync my cell phone’s photos to a S3 bucket.

      Last I looked you could pretty easily get root on many phones, just if you did you couldn’t use stuff that checks the device security

      If you want to carry two phones you could use one for banks and 2 factor authentication, and have root on the other
