CalyxOS posted an announcement about the departure of both the founder of the organization (Nicolas Merrill) and lead developer of CalyxOS (Chirayu Desai):

According to their post, it will likely be around 4 to 6 months before they resume updates with new signing keys.

Nicolas Merrill took advantage of the situation. He hired a Copperhead employee involved in the takeover to create CalyxOS. CalyxOS heavily used our code and documentation. It was promoted by attacking us and portraying themselves as being above the situation with Copperhead.

On my side, only bank I could not make work with CalyxOS was N26. The rest (Revolut, Caisse d'Epargne, ...) works fine.

‼️🚨 ALARMING: Google now treats privacy as suspicious behavior by default. Users of GrapheneOS, CalyxOS, /e/OS, and other deGoogled Android phones are being locked out of millions of websites unless they install the exact Google Play Services software they deliberately removed.

Both CalyxOS and GrapheneOS already have that feature.

This article has very inaccurate information about GrapheneOS. GrapheneOS substantially improves both privacy and security. It has far more review than OEM Android forks. This draws a false equivalence between GrapheneOS and CalyxOS/LineageOS which do roll back security vs. AOSP.

GrapheneOS and CalyxOS are very different. GrapheneOS is a hardened OS with major privacy/security improvements:

CalyxOS is not hardened. It greatly reduces security vs. AOSP with attack surface, a weakened security model and slow patches. It's missing current patches.

Nicolas Merrill burned down Calyx and CalyxOS on his way out. Nick was secretly working on a for-profit company to replace Calyx. He used Calyx resources for his personal benefit and was pushed out. Louis Rossmann is one of 3 co-founders of the company:

Android users, you'll soon be getting a security feature that iOS users had access to quite a bit before you.

Inactivity reboots put phones into a different state, making information retrieval and snooping more difficult, even to those with advanced tools.

VoltageOS y calyxOS son los más parecidos,es difícil encontrar un sistema que esté al nivel de graphene

Quite pleased with myself. Today I successfully degooglefied my aging Pixel 5 while extending its security lifespan. I managed to flash #calyxos onto it without bricking it, which will have security upgrades until October. Yay!

Pretty too!

Try GrapheneOS or CalyxOS. They dont have any AI bullshit and you need to explicitly allow any permissions.

CalyxOS has much worse app compatibility than GrapheneOS and was never a privacy or security hardened OS. CalyxOS never kept up with privacy/security patches and never provided the major privacy and security improvements of GrapheneOS. Nearly all Android apps can be used on GrapheneOS already.

Linux, Nextcloud, GrapheneOS/CalyxOS/Signal.

I switched my Pixel to CalyxOS during my degoogling, totally recommend
