   Which phone? Maybe you can move to Cyanogen Mod which is community based   
   development of Android. I moved a Samsung Galaxy S4 from Android 4.3 to   
   cm-13.0 which is Android 6.0.1.

   Why do you believe that this F-Droid app store will have any better apps for   
   older versions of Android?   
      
   Anyway, I have installed app store apps for the Amazon Appstore and for   
   1Mobile and neither installation affected my Play Store app or account.
