Analysis

OVERVIEW

DivestOS was an open-source Android and LineageOS soft fork built from 2014 by a pseudonymous developer who won the FSF 2022 Award for Outstanding New Free Software Contributor.

LIMITS

The project was discontinued in December 2024 due to funding exhaustion and no longer receives security updates, and the record marks it for historical reference only.

USEFUL FOR

Relevant to researchers looking at Android privacy history rather than anyone configuring a device today; the record itself points to maintained alternatives.
