As mentioned [above](/posts/os/choosing-your-android-based-operating-system/), `userdebug` builds expose root over ADB and require more permissive SELinux policies to accommodate debugging features. `userdebug` builds violate the Android security model and are really only meant for developers to test out their android builds during development.

[DivestOS](https://divestos.org/) is a great aftermarket operating system for devices that have gone end-of-life or are near end-of-life. Note that this is a harm reduction project, ran by one developer on the best effort basis, and you should not buy a new device just to run DivestOS.
Being a soft-fork of [LineageOS](https://lineageos.org/), DivestOS inherits many [supported devices](https://divestos.org/index.php?page=devices&base=LineageOS) from LineageOS. It has signed builds, making it possible to have [verified boot](https://source.android.com/security/verifiedboot) on some non-Pixel devices.

It comes with substantial hardening over AOSP. DivestOS has automated kernel vulnerability ([CVE](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Vulnerabilities_and_Exposures)) [patching](https://gitlab.com/divested-mobile/cve_checker), fewer proprietary blobs, a custom [hosts](https://divested.dev/index.php?page=dnsbl) file, and various security features ported from GrapheneOS.
