Don't bother with the naysayers and dickheads. I appreciate you trying to do something here for old devices, and 80% solutions are ok for most of us.

Two of the benefits of DivestOS, the kernel patching/hardening and the vendor blob removal, are not compatible with GSIs as a GSI includes neither the boot or vendor partition.

Hey, just thank you very much for revitalizing my Nexus 5, it's a usable device again ;)

Great Job and project, thanks again!
