AXP.OS (abbreviation for: Advanced XPerience OS) is an open source, Android operating system. It is a soft fork of LineageOS that aims to increase security and privacy especially with support for end-of-life devices. It removes many blobs (proprietary software) and pre-installs open source applications.

AXP.OS was based on the discontinued^[1] DivestOS custom-ROM until December 2024^[2] and is developed independently since that time.^[3]

AXP.OS removes proprietary Android components as far as possible. AXP.OS builds are signed with their own release keys, allowing bootloaders on many devices to be relocked. The CVE patcher^[4], originally developed by DivestOS, is used and maintained to patch kernels against many known security vulnerabilities.^[5]

AXP.OS uses^[6] the hardened C standard library and memory allocator from GrapheneOS for many devices to protect against security vulnerabilities such as buffer overflow vulnerabilities, and includes additional patches related to data protection and privacy from other projects.^[7]

AXP.OS supports Verified Boot for many devices. This is intended to ensure that all executed code comes from a trusted source and has not been tampered with by an attacker.

AXP.OS contains only a few standard applications (see Special Features). Among other things, it includes F-Droid, with options for selecting multiple user-defined F-Droid repositories, as well as the alternative Google Play client Aurora Store.^[8] Furthermore, the project continues the security-focused WebView “Mulch”^[9] developed by DivestOS under the name "AOSmium"^[10] and includes it in their builds.

AXP.OS supports the use of Orbot and the Tor Browser to enhance privacy.^[11]

AXP.OS is available in two versions (“flavors”) called "Slim" and "Pro".^[12]

AXP.OS - Slim is the successor^[13] to DivestOS and is aimed at users with higher security needs. AXP.OS - Pro also comes with MicroG, Google Play, and Magisk preinstalled, supports the Wireguard kernel module on almost all devices, and offers advanced features.^[8]

AXP.OS primarily supports devices that had been supported by LineageOS, with additional end of life devices receiving extended support. The entire list of officially supported devices is available on the AXP.OS website.^[14]

Devices must meet the device requirements^[15] and only tested^[16] builds are provided as stable releases.
