Jan 25, 2022 · I want to give my thanks to the Calyx team for making all of this possible so quickly. It's remarkable what has already been done, and I can't wait to see how the Calyx team continues to improve their OS moving forward. I especially can't wait to see Material You be fully implemented with the release of A12L!

Apr 28, 2023 · Hi everyone, I've been doing some research recently on different de googled and linux OS to experiment with on a phone and I came across a lot of different sources saying that Calyx was overall the most secure OS but had some core problems one of which being a low amount of supported devices and a few other things about the Aurora store.

Security Updates: SHIFT6mq stock OS follows a different security update release schedule. The device is still supported by the manufacturer. The CalyxOS releases for it only contain the latest fixes to the open source components, such as the OS code and the Linux kernel.

Jun 2, 2023 · Calyx is more professional and, well, normal. Hopefully this will change with recent shakeups over at GrapheneOS, as it is a technically sound project. CalyxOS repeatedly made bad decisions in their OS.

Jul 30, 2021 · Calyx has better security, such as the firewall that allows you to control network access on an app-by-app basis. One annoyance with Calyx is that every single time I make a phone call it has a popup asking me if I want to use my mobile provider or Signal — even if Signal can't make that call. Can't find a way to turn this off.

Apr 4, 2021 · For example, I tried to replace GMaps with an alternative like OsmAnd but I just didn't like those other options. With Calyx I can say "ok, fine, I'll keep GMaps but I'll ditch the rest of Google." Someone else could decide to keep a different slice of google. To give another example, I use the Aurora store anonymously and I don't login to GMaps.

Oct 20, 2020 · What I got so far: Calyx has a smoother initial setup experience with nice apps and microG out of the box. Calyx has an integrated backup solution (similar to twrp?) as well as a built-in VPN. Calyx comes with a re-locked bootloader "out of the box" although this is probably just Pixel-related. Calyx pushes a bit harder for call encryption.

Jun 9, 2022 · We intend to provide high quality OS releases, where every single build is tested before release. This is not easy to scale, and takes a lot of time and effort. As such, sometimes we have to drop certain devices, especially when they've stopped receiving security updates given that we can only do so much.

Jul 25, 2021 · There's an excellent support community with CalyxOS, with the founder and dev team actively participating in this reddit on support issues, and I'll say that Calyx seems to have proven trustworthy and an active combatant against ever encroaching analytics machine and I could then go on to compare with drama surrounding graphene, but it gives me ...

Feb 5, 2022 · Calyx is great and I'm so happy it is finally available with Android 12. One of the most requested features is Android Auto support, which was missing for obvious reasons (Google app which needs to be installed in system partition). For sure it wasn't implemented so far.
