DivestOS is an operating system based on the Android mobile platform. It is a soft fork of LineageOS that aims to increase security and privacy with support for end-of-life devices. As much as possible, it removes unnecessary proprietary Android components and includes only free-software.
DivestOS builds are signed with release-keys so bootloaders may be re-locked on many devices. An automated CVE patcher is used to patch the kernels against many known vulnerabilities.
DivestOS includes few default applications. F-Droid is included with options for selecting several custom F-Droid repositories as well.[1][2] DivestOS supports using Orbot and Tor Browser as privacy-enhancing features.[3]
