Very good list. As a daily user of /e/, I can attest to most of the concerns, which I agree are valid.
Advanced Privacy is a major WTF. Using TOR without mentioning it is strange. And so is their all-or-nothing location faker tool. Sounded nice until I wanted to use a navigation app, which too got my fake location. Then I had to disable the faking, making my location available to all applications - quite a headscratcher.
CleanAPK is another WTF baked-in dependency. I suppose they are running it themselves, just not in the open, because of copyright and other issues maybe? I don't know, they don't tell me, and why are we left guessing such an important thing on a privacy phone?
An update also borked my phone, forcing it into a reboot loop. Granted, it was from 0.something to 1.something, but still, it was the next update in line, I thought the updater could manage it.
Aside from these, I'm still a happy user of the system. I appreciate the degoogling effort over the mainline LineageOS.
I'd like to have a question about DivestOS. Which device(s) do you regard as the main one(s)? I mean, which do you think will receive the most updates, the longest support, and so on? I'd wager the ones marked "Tested working" are the most healthy?
- _rdvw 4y agoDevices marked tested working are ones I have myself. But all devices receive the same monthly updates. If you're buying a device I recommend a Pixel 6/6a with GrapheneOS instead however.
