Mull is my current browser of choice, so I like that idea. I will have to give DivestOS a shot. Thank you! It doesn't look like the Pixel 8 Pro is supported by DivestOS, at least not from a quick glance. I will have to look into potentially what it would take to build it for it though.
Bummer. Guess no one who's compiling it has an 8 yet.
I kind of use Lineage and DivestOS rom availability as my guide to my next phone. If they have a tested rom, then I can upgrade.
I would have given DivestOS a shot if I was on a Pixel 7 Pro, because that's what I wanted instead of the 8 Pro, but necessity dictated I bought one because I can't be without one for very long.
I will keep an eye on Diveset, but it is looking like I may go back to what I had setup on my 7: LineageOS, rooted, with my necessary tweaks. At least I like tweaking things, so there is that.
Yea, I stay on slightly older phones so I can run a well-established rom version and I can afford to keep a spare at home, both as a hot spare and for testing. Currently running Pixel 5.
With everything setup right, the home phone syncs everything constantly, only have to do a quick SMS restore and it's just like the previous phone.
I ended up trying GrapheneOS on my P8P, but it didn't quite fit my use case.
I ended up back on LineageOS again, so I could have AdAway, AFWall+, and as of today I installed a custom kernel (Sultan Kernel) and I am pretty happy with the outcome.
I still love GrapheneOS but I was having issues with notifications among other things.
Yea, I like Graphene, really appreciate what they're doing. Plan to run it on my spare in a couple months.
But I also want root, Adaway, AFWall, and a few other thungs, so it's DivestOS or Lineage.
There didn't appear to be a DivestOS image for my Pixel 8 Pro, so I went back to LineageOS since I couldnt have AdAway and AfWall+ among other things on GrapheneOS.
