Privacy focused Android fork CopperheadOS became dead after the developer was fired. New forks like RattlesnakeOS, #!os or Android Hardening are available.

RattlesnakeOS and #!os are NOT forks and are not developing privacy and security hardening features. The AndroidHardening project is not a fork either. It's the original project by the original development team, although it has been rebooted for Android P to do everything better.

The hardened_malloc project isn't a fork or port of OpenBSD malloc. It's a new allocator written from scratch to provide better performance and substantially better security than the past work on making an extended fork of OpenBSD malloc with additional security features.
It's heavily inspired by OpenBSD malloc along with borrowing ideas from other allocators like jemalloc and PartitionAlloc. It's a much different allocator than OpenBSD malloc. It has much different design choices and approaches to the core design and is inherently 64-bit only.

github.com/AndroidHardeni and the other repositories are the originals, with past history split out into github.com/AndroidHardeni. Look at the forks and you can see this is the original project:
github.com/AndroidHardeni
Copperhead forked the project but doesn't develop anything.

Regarding hardened_malloc, thanks for the clarification. Will update it ASAP.
