Trying CalyxOS on Pixel 8.
Signal, CoMaps and DAVx^5 (CalDAV, CardDAV and WebDAV) are installed with the OS, nice touch.
Android version 16, stock would be 17.

#CalyxOS Trip Report
Trying this due to the recent... unpleasantness... with GrapheneOS, and Calyx is pretty much stock Android Open Source Project with some security/usability apps installed (Tor Browser, Thunderbird, etc) and a tight integration with F-Droid, Aurora Store (the open source Google Play Store front end), and microG (the open-source reimplementation of Google Play Services). So far it's a nicer experience around the edges than Graphene with some stuff (it has the full charging control for battery lifespan implementation unlike Graphene just having the flat charge limit option), but there's one or two surface-level things I miss (no option to not have the length of your PIN visible on the lock screen.)
microG so far seems to work with every app I have installed, but I don't phone game or do mobile payments with the exception of Solid Explorer not being convinced I paid for the ad-free version... but also the ads aren't working either so yay? XD
My SeedVault backup successfully transferred from GrapheneOS with no issues. That's the first time that's ever happened. SeedVault has been so useless for me in the past.
I'm willing to guess Calyx doesn't have as many of the hardening things GrapheneOS claims, but also given their behavior earlier in the week Graphene's threat model is in doubt and I don't trust them to do it right anyway.
First impressions are pretty good, so I think I'll stick with it for now unless something catches on fire or given the way things are going in open-source these days it also gets milkshake ducked. :ac_sighing:

Is CalyxOS ran by crypto/ai crybabies, fascists, and/or generally shitty people? I would like to know before I change my phone OS yet again.
… I'm getting tired of this shit…

@calyxos
The Satellite SOS function of the new Google Pixel Phones works via a preinstalled ESim by Skylo. I didn't find any secure information, wether it's possible to send an emergency Message via Satellite via this ESim under CalyxOS.
Can someone Help?

if you don't like GrapheneOS anymore because of... well it's obvious if you've looked at Fedi in the last 24-48 hours and seen their AI stuff, you can always use @calyxos instead!
I used Calyx for a while in 2024-2025 to try it out on my Pixel 3a and it worked really well with everything I threw at it and it ran well with Android versions my Pixel didn't support with stock updates.

You can contribute to the #freesoftware movement even if you don't know how to write #code here's some practical examples:
1. @beacondb & #Neostumbler
BeaconDB is community-driven wireless geolocation database that serves as a replacement for Mozilla Location Services (MLS), which was discontinued in March 2024.
why is this project important?
because #Google collects extensive location data tied to user accounts for advertising and profiling (even if you turn off location history) Google doesn't understand consent, what a surprise! :blob_rollingeyes:
BeaconDB will provide privacy friendly geolocation, allowing #degoogled #android ROMs like #CalyxOS and #GrapheneOS to be used without relying on Google (Google's location services)
Neostumbler is an #opensource android app, that collects geolocation data from wireless signals such as Wi-Fi access points, cell towers, and Bluetooth beacons, NS does not collect personal identifying information, only anonymized wireless signal data and it can be turned off at any time. (can't say the same for Google)
you can start contributing to BeaconDB simply by downloading and installing NeoStumbler, enabling GPS, open NS and start a scan, start walking or driving, and after you cross a certain distance, you'll see some generated reports, press upload to upload them all (you can also go to settings and enable automatic uploading in the background)
If you want to volunteer and help us free our phones, laptops and smart watches from corporate ecosystems (like Google's location services) and achieve digital sovereignty in the aspect of geolocation, take a look at these links
