I guess it's impossible to remove Google from Android phones. I have disabled Google, but cannot delete it. And it re-enabled itself later. The only way out of this, I'm thinking, is an alternative operating system for the phone.

Anyways, fuck Google. I miss #DivestOS and am grateful that it lasted as long as it did.

Oh, I didn't remember this fork of DivestOS exist.
Hopefully it will continue to exist for a while.

It's been almost a year since #DivestOS and its apps were discontinued.
I’ve since moved to @GrapheneOS, currently the only serious and secure Android OS (Pixel‑only, for now). As for the discontinued apps, here are some replacements worth noting:
- IronFox (Mull continuation)
- Cromite / Vanadium (Mulch alternatives)
- Hypatia (Hypatia continuation)
- Silence (Carrion alternative)
Thanks again @divested for a decade of more secure Android for many devices 🙏.

The partnership between Braxman and iodeOS is concerning for sure. It does not make the project appear trustworthy at all.
But I feel you are mixing iodeOS and /e/OS which is not good practice.
Lets stay with /e/OS for a while as it is more obviously a degrated LineageOS.
Breaking source code licenses is really bad and fits into the image of /e/OS. But again, the stretch to iodeOS is not founded.
I know of DivestOS and it was a very good project. Basing off LineageOSes tooling is not bad, being their downstream is more problematic.
I thought of installing #DivestOS on my old Pixel, but even then GrapheneOS was newer.
Afaik iodeOS has improvements over LineageOS.

Amazing! Already donated a large-for-me sum to this amazing effort! Thanks for taking up #DivestOS's legacy and improving it so much further than that!

Es sieht nicht gut aus für alternative und degoogled #Android OS. Nachdem #DivestOS Ende 2024 aufgehört hat zu existieren,wird nun auch #CalyxOS faktisch eingestellt. /e/OS ist securitymäßig nicht empfehlenswert. Bleiben nur noch #GrapheneOS und (mit Abstrichen) #IodeOS

This chart shows just how powerful GrapheneOS really is. It is the only option (according to the chart) that can nearly completely deGoogle (remove all connections to Google).

There was #DivestOS made for devices that were no longer "in support" but apparently that project got canceled at the start of the year.
My brain is just going crazy that the #USGov is gonna come after me by subpoenaing my data from google, even though I have long since turned all privacy-sharing settings off on my phone.
These older devices may not be the most powerful, but they still can be useful, especially for those without access to better phones.

Holy crap. #DivestOS shutdown?! I wasn't using them directly because I had #grapheneos available on my pixel, but I used #Mull and Carion. What are the alternatives now? I see IronFox in Accrescent. Is it comparable?
-
Je suis repassé-e sous LineageOS puisque DivestOS c'est terminé. Ben je suis bien deg. 😬

PSA if you use Mull (the privacy hardened Firefox/Fennec fork) on Android, or any of the other apps maintained by DivestOS: It is now dead. https://web.archive.org/web/20250115190317/https://divestos.org/pages/news#end
There is a fork called IronFox. Unfortunately it is not in the official F-Droid repository, and I don't think they have reproducible builds, either :(

For a long time I've been using Mull browser, the privacy oriented Firefox fork, on my android devices.
But with it being discontinued, I have now switched to its successor: IronFox.

Pour info, #Mull a cessé d'être maintenu, avec le reste de #DivestOS.

I hope some group will fork #DivestOS.
We're in 2025 and the only halfway acceptable OS for a popular device designed to handle private data is / was a single-maintainer project.
Society should get its priorities right ...
