As mentioned elsewhere DivestOS which provided a next best effort alternative for non GrapheneOS supported devices, announced recently it has received it's last update. Ceasing development and deprecating the project, due to lack of funding.

If using an End of Life device already then to a degree yes although to a lesser one than is ideal.
However even with that said, moving those devices from DivestOS to LineageOS, /e/OS or CalyxOS would mean giving up a bunch of privacy and security features they ported from GrapheneOS.

Prior to their focus on attacking GrapheneOS, /e/OS focused on attacking DivestOS. The dishonest attacks and harassment directed towards DivestOS made it a complete hell for the developers. It heavily contributed to DivestOS being discontinued. This is how many companies in this space operate.

DivestOS is a dead project. It was discontinued. LineageOS is a hobbyist OS not maintaining the basic privacy and security model. Neither CalyxOS or LineageOS provides proper privacy or security patches. They're conflating them as all being privacy and security focused options. That's not correct.

F-droidのMullブラウザはAvastにスパイウェアと判定されているのか?
だから、DivestOS MobileのMullブラウザの更新で1度目はスパイウェアの疑いありと判定があり、2度目はクリアの判定なのかな。

DivestOS inherited a lot of security and stability regressions from LineageOS. It also meant they ended up with a lot of questionable features they didn't really want. They ported over a small subset of GrapheneOS privacy and security features. A newer project could port current GrapheneOS instead.

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

DivestOS didn't have that option initially and was stuck on the path they chose since many of the devices they supported needed it. It didn't end up going past Android 13 or supporting more recent devices. A project extending the life of devices recently reaching end-of-life can just rely on Treble.
