This is wild because I had never heard of this news anywhere. R.I.P. DivestOS, my favorite mobile OS. Anyone know of a project with a similiar goal of deblobbing android?

    I’m using lineageOS. You can choose whether to add Gapps (google bundle) to it. By default there’s no google anything. Most devices officially supported by the project work great from what I’ve seen. It makes old phones faster in some cases.

      IMO it doesn’t go far enough with deblobbing and removing nonfree software, but for the time being i’ll switch to it. Hope someone continues this project.

          Divest. They removed as much proprietary software as possible without making the device unusable.
