Reminder that GrapheneOS dev and mods officially conduct witch hunting and harassment of any critics https://i.imgur.com/nhepoMJ.jpg and their mods officially declare targeted harassment and trolling as "brand reputation and competitor analysis". (https://i.imgur.com/q2OefBw.jpg)
They also add threatening features like camera shutter sounds impossible to disable without consent of community users, putting people at risk. And the dev, mods and community are largely toxic, dishonest crybullies. Never a good idea to trust insane people that accuse everyone and their children of fake attempted swatting.
DivestOS absolutely slaps. Well, all things considered
Edit:
It's absolutely fantastic for what it is, and that is fact. Maintained by a single person, well documented, and doesn't promise more than it can deliver.
I've been using it for almost two years now, and I like it a lot. (small disclaimer, I'm running it on a OnePlus 5T, which is one of their so-called golden devices that it runs best on)
It's pretty much the next best thing after Graphene, if you don't want to buy a Pixel.
The guy who maintains it does an excellent job of documenting issues, what works on what device, what the system itself can and can't do, it's very transparent.
He doesn't overpromise either, and explicitely states that getting a Pixel with Graphene is the better option overall. Greatly appreciate the honesty.
I'll use it for as long as he'll support my device, and then we'll see if I switch to Graphene.
One important thing though:
While you can install microG, DivestOS doesn't officially support it, and while most things work, some don't. SafetyNet, for instance.
DIVESTOS DEVELOPER BANNING ME ON MICAY'S ORDERS OTHERWISE HE WILL INITIATE A SOCIAL MEDIA HARASSMENT CAMPAIGN AGAINST DIVESTOS
Yes, this happened, and this is my favourite part as far as everything GrapheneOS head/mods have done to date. As dramatic as it sounds, Micay in realtime, in DivestOS' XMPP chatroom, was accusing me of the typical "harassment ringleader campaign" BS, and ordered DivestOS/Mull developer (these are his aliases) SubZer0Carnage/Tad/SkewedZeppelin that if I was not banned immediately, DivestOS and him would face social media targeted campaign and DivestOS will have to forcibly pull off any borrowed GrapheneOS code. DivestOS developer dusted his hands off me, since he does not like me apparently for liking some closed source software and he benefits off of the crybully. Also, unlike the crybully, I have never harassed or harmed anyone because I have a moral conscience to not be an abusive asshole on internet, so he will face no issues on my end.
