DivestOS is an open source, Android-based operating system. It is a soft fork of LineageOS that aims to increase security and privacy with support for end-of-life devices.[3] It removes many proprietary blobs and pre-installs open source apps.
DivestOS builds are signed with release-keys so bootloaders may be re-locked on supported devices.[a] An automated CVE patcher is used to patch the kernels against many known vulnerabilities.[4]
DivestOS includes few default applications. F-Droid is included, as well as Hypatia, a "real-time malware scanner" and Carrion, a robocall blocker.[4]
