<strong>CalyxOS</strong> is a decent alternative to GrapheneOS.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It has some privacy features on top of AOSP, such as the <a href="https://calyxos.org/docs/tech/datura-details"> Datura firewall</a>, <a href="https://signal.org">Signal</a> integration in the dialer app, and a built in panic button. CalyxOS also comes with firmware updates and signed builds, so <a href="https://source.android.com/security/verifiedboot">verified boot</a> is fully supported.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To accomodate users who need Google Play Services, CalyxOS optionally includes <a href="https://microg.org/">MicroG</a>. With MicroG, CalyxOS also bundles in the <a href="https://location.services.mozilla.com/">Mozilla</a> and <a href="https://github.com/n76/DejaVu">DejaVu</a> location services.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Currently, CalyxOS <a href="https://calyxos.org/docs/guide/device-support/">supports</a> Google Pixel phones and the Xiaomi Mi A2. For legacy devices, CalyxOS offers "extended support" for much longer than GrapheneOS, making it a good choice once GrapheneOS has dropped support.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h4>Notes</h4>
|
||
|
|
CalyxOS's "extended support" does not have full security patches due to the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) discontinuing support, therefore they cannot be considered completely secure.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With the Xiaomi Mi A2, CalyxOS does not distribute the the latest firmware. Newer versions of the firmware prevented the device from performing verified boot.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Daruta firewall can leak in some circumstances (see <a href="https://gitlab.com/CalyxOS/calyxos/-/issues/572">#572</a> and <a href="https://gitlab.com/CalyxOS/calyxos/-/issues/581">#581</a>).
