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.
Okay, first of all: Chill, and let me lay out an observation here.
You are very passionate about that topic, maybe a little too much. The way you talk about it is too heated, and gives people the idea that a civil discussion might not be possible.
The fact that you immediately start conspiring about where your downvotes come from doesn’t make it any better.
Now, the issues you describe are very much real, and a problem. There are merits and downfalls in each project, each one handles these differently, and it is for us to decide how to react to that.
So, you’re saying that as a reaction, I should neither use Graphene nor DivestOS, am I understanding this correctly?
What then? Compromise my privacy by using less optimal systems? Why would I do that?
Doing things out of principle vs doing them out of practical use is something this community is quite aware of, isn’t it. Sometimes the decision isn’t easy, sometimes it is.
wow, never heard of it. do u use it?

I’ve heard of the general toxicity years ago already, but I will take no part in this drama and use whatever system fits the bill
Very toxic and rude community for sure.

Well, I do oppose this kind of behaviour, but I also want to use a system that fits my needs.
So what should I do? Making more people aware of issues is often the best we can realistically hope for.
