**CalyxOS** is a decent alternative to GrapheneOS.
|
|
|
|
It has some privacy features on top of AOSP, including [Datura firewall](https://calyxos.org/docs/tech/datura-details), [Signal](https://signal.org) integration in the dialer app, and a built in panic button. CalyxOS also comes with firmware updates and signed builds, so [verified boot](https://source.android.com/security/verifiedboot) is fully supported.
|
|
|
|
To accomodate users who need Google Play Services, CalyxOS optionally includes [MicroG](https://microg.org/). With MicroG, CalyxOS also bundles in the [Mozilla](https://location.services.mozilla.com/) and [DejaVu](https://github.com/n76/DejaVu) location services.
|
|
|
|
Currently, CalyxOS [supports](https://calyxos.org/docs/guide/device-support/) 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.
|
|
|
|
#### Notes
|
|
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 latest firmware. Newer versions of the firmware prevented the device from performing verified boot.
|
|
|
|
The Datura firewall can leak in some circumstances (see [#572](https://gitlab.com/CalyxOS/calyxos/-/issues/572) and [#581](https://gitlab.com/CalyxOS/calyxos/-/issues/581)).
