I am pretty happy with GrapheneOS. Things like separate toggles for internet, or long powerbutton press foe torch are missing.
But you cannot imagine how much effort it is to maintain such a project, and their base is stable, the updates are damn fast.
First stability and security, then features.
Their core OS is minimal on purpose. I use the phone, vanadium (hardened chromium, with JIT toggle, now with adblock, completely degoogled), their attestation app, etc.
Most of the other stuff are random FOSS projects, I dont even use sandboxed play, but if I wanted to I could create a separate user profile and install it just in there.
DivestOS is doing sandboxed microG which is way more secure than unsandboxed, but still tons of effort and will break a lot.
Btw get Mull from the DivestOS repo, the F-Droid version has veeery slow updates and less.
Chromium BASED on chromite, which appears to be actively developed. I use mull which works well. Default SMS is "messaging" app.
Interesting. What are the App IDs of those both apps?
If they base on Chromite that is probably fine.
org.chromium.chrome
com.android.messaging
Idk if I would promote calyxos though, it works, but it's often buggy for me. I think I'll go with graphene again, the microg shit is just that..
And mull https://f-droid.org/packages/us.spotco.fennec_dos/ Which I think is maintained by divestos, another interesting one, I forget why I didn't go with them
