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?
GrapheneOS is a similar philosophy as divest, remove as much risk surface as possible. Only pixel phones getting security firmware updates are supported though
yeah for ancient pixel users like me it’s impossible to get modern android… I’m using lineage for now and i’ll wait to see how this plays out.

you could always build GOS yourself and use the older targets (and get the vendor files from the aosp)
It’s more elbow grease, but its not too much
I mean… I upgrade every ~2/3 years.
But only during sales and only with boosted trade ins.
This year I got two 9s for ~$150 with boosted trade ins for my 7pro/8pro and holiday sale.
There’s even a

And technically Graphene has extended legacy support for:
4a,4,4XL,5a&5Cheaper than worrying about battery replacement for old crusty pixles >.>
Did you know that not everyone on Lemmy has or wants a Google Pixel?
No one said they do
I don’t have any opinion about what phone you want to have. Be happy.

I’m satisfying the OPs question, with real actionable data. I’m not running around down voting people because they like things I don’t like.
However if you, or someone with your same attitude, wants to pick up the DivestOS repos and builds, I will applaud and cheer!
Hush. That’s like saying everyone on lemmy uses Debian or arch.
Oh. Wait.
