I don't see enough DivestOS here. It's basically LineageOS, but actually more private and secure. Though it explicitely doesn't support any way of emulating Play Services, which can obviously be a dealbreaker for some.
Which device are you using with DivestOS?
I am using all of the DivestOS applications on my CrDroid. I am thinking to switch on my Poco F3 but I am skeptical due to removal of many blobs.
I'm running it on a Poco F3, and in general I've found DivestOS to be more stable than crDroid. Also, it makes it easier that it comes with a system webview replacement built in.
Edit: I haven't tried locking the bootloader, mind you, but that doesn't really interest me so much.
As I read on the documentation, relocking the bootloader seems broken on Poco F3.
Okay, thank you for the info, you tempt me more to install DivestOS on Poco F3 hahah. Have you tried any wireless earpods if they work flawless and with the same sound quality? i have read the code from the blobs that they have been removed and I noticed that they have remove many of them related on wireless soundspeakers.
Haven't had any issues with any bluetooth devices. Headphones, speaker, car, all work as normal.
Okay thank you! Next week, I will flash DivestOS and I will text you back!! (i translated several DivestOS applications in Greek for now)
A OnePlus 5T, runs like a charm. Since I'm not dependent on Play Services or anything of the sort, it was my best bet short of replacing it with a Pixel.
I just recently joined the DivestOS clan! I do kind of miss a few of the customisation options I had in my last ROM, crDroid, but overall I'm finding it a little more stable and I'm generally very happy with it. In particular, I like the inclusion of Mull for the app browser and Mulch for the system webview browser.
Even Mike Kuketz likes it, which says something. He's a german cybersecurity expert who's been looking at several custom roms over the last months. This is his article on DivestOS:

Well, if you can read German
Lol, Google Translate doesn't seem to want to load that site. I'd like to think that's intentional on Mike's part.
Could very well be, he has a very strict stance on what data traffic he considers okay
I really want Motorola mobility to allow relocking the bootloader but until then I'm stuck with lineage os
