Do not really understand how Android sandboxing works for system apps.

    Divest os is much more free in terms of software freedom. They minimize binary blobs and keep everything clean. They also maintain mull browser.

          The only problem I have with it is one I have with Custom ROMs in general:

          The Camera API to make use of all the lenses modern phones have. There is one single app that can somewhat hook into it for me to use my second lens, and it’s extremely unstable to the point of being functionally useless.

      DivestOS dev bans anyone that criticises GrapheneOS on the orders of Daniel Micay. An excerpt from my GrapheneOS expose few months ago:

      DIVESTOS DEVELOPER BANNING ME ON MICAY’S ORDERS OTHERWISE HE WILL INITIATE A SOCIAL MEDIA HARASSMENT CAMPAIGN AGAINST DIVESTOS

      Yes, this happened, and this is my favourite part as far as everything GrapheneOS head/mods have done to date. As dramatic as it sounds, Micay in realtime, in DivestOS’ XMPP chatroom, was accusing me of the typical “harassment ringleader campaign” BS, and ordered DivestOS/Mull developer (these are his aliases) SubZer0Carnage/Tad/SkewedZeppelin that if I was not banned immediately, DivestOS and him would face social media targeted campaign and DivestOS will have to forcibly pull off any borrowed GrapheneOS code. DivestOS developer dusted his hands off me, since he does not like me apparently for liking some closed source software and he benefits off of the crybully. Also, unlike the crybully, I have never harassed or harmed anyone because I have a moral conscience to not be an abusive asshole on internet, so he will face no issues on my end.
