Newbie here looking for help on staking in ledger - DOT Stuck bonded?
Side note: It does take time for everything to the validators on Polkadot-JS App to load, but I've never seen an issue on the repo about them _never_ loading.

Polkadot Digest 22 June 2022
If you are attempting to verify the SHA512 hash of the Electron version of Polkadot-JS, note that the package manager base64-encodes the hash. See this issue for how to convert: https://github.com/polkadot-js/apps/issues/4713

polkadot.js 1010 bad sig error on MOVR
Even though Polkadot-JS App will show an Ethereum-style address, I don't know if it can actually interact with the Moonriver/Moonbeam networks - I'm seeing a few open PRs/issues which make me think it does not work (e.g. https://github.com/polkadot-js/apps/pull/5216)

Polkadot Vault (formerly called Parity Signer) is open-source. You can view the code here: https://github.com/paritytech/parity-signer/

Suggestions are appreciated.
I wouldn't say it's a black box system. If you want, you can read the code here, compile it yourself and load it on to your phone - https://github.com/paritytech/parity-signer

Any plans for Hardware Wallet Intergration?
Don't think there's any HW wallets supported atm. Personally I'm using Parity Signer on an old phone, air gapped. But that's also quite involved to get up and running. (https://github.com/paritytech/parity-signer/releases/tag/v5.0.1) But to get it to work with ACA you need to add the network and the metadata, see https://metadata.parity.io/, if you're technical you can checkout their github project and locally run an update site for Acala.

Polkadot v0.9.0 has been released; upgrade priority is HIGH
You can run the polkadot.js/apps UI natively as an electron client. That's available from the releases page: https://github.com/polkadot-js/apps/releases For added security+confidence, you could connect this to a locally-run node instead of parity (or whoever)'s publicly run RPC nodes. If you want a cold wallet (i.e., offline, used for signing transactions, etc) you can use parity-signer

WARNING: Risk of losing funds, please do not use this Parity Signer ยท Issue #724
It isn't misleading in any way shape or form. The developer of the tool agrees that right now it should not be used. See their response here: https://github.com/paritytech/parity-signer/issues/680
What are some alternatives?
When comparing apps and parity-signer you can also consider the following projects:
tools - Various cli tools for Polkadot and Substrate chains, including basic node monitoring, making API queries via a cli app and other command-line tools
polkadot - Polkadot Node Implementation
extension - Taho, the community owned and operated Web3 wallet.
airgap-wallet - The AirGap Wallet is installed on an everyday smartphone. This app has only access to public information.
extension - Simple browser extension for managing Polkadot and Substrate network accounts in a browser. Allows the signing of extrinsics using these accounts. Also provides a simple interface for compliant extensions for dapps.
dot-staking-income - Use this API to get the amount you have earned via staking plus the value at the time in fiat
