A letter to the CalyxOS community

August 5th, 2025

"We appreciate your valid concerns and questions around the security and safety of CalyxOS.

First, we want to assure you that we have no reason to believe the security of CalyxOS and its signing keys have been compromised.

As you know, we announced a recent leadership transition. When senior personnel have access to signing keys and leave a team, it is security best practice to update signing keys and conduct audits. So in accordance with that, we are using this transition period to update our security protocols, including updating the signing keys and taking other steps to further protect our users."...

... What's going on in CalyxOS??

They've removed all the install pages and the operating system downloads :(

one of the best parts of using open source software is suddenly being very surprised to get an update that you had previously heard was impossible.

CalyxOS now has AndroidAuto. What?? and NFC wallet???

AND pokemon go works on it?? literally everyone on reddit told me these were impossible due to some ultra uber protection google had.

you can now have a degoogled pixel phone and have all the same benefits as a stock phone minus like rcs and ai crap. I get rcs and imessage on my phone, but only by paying for two lines. The bluebubbles app for imessage on android, the iphone also has rcs but the app doesnt recognize it correctly, but they're working on it.

like literally what is even the drawbacks at this point? sure you have to be more tech knowledgeable to get setup, but yknow.

disclaimer: I havent used the android auto yet. >.> I'll try tonight.

Dang, my pixel fold is having issues :(

The notifications are covering the clock for some reason.

Got my new phone (refurbished) and I'm going to install CalyxOS on it. But first my hard drive needed to die (reasonable) so now I'm heading into work to use my work pc and fix my home pc later. I took today off just to be there for the delivery and so I could spend all day setting it up.

👀 Ive discovered (Columbus style, people already know it but I didn't so I'm the first) a degoogled android os for the google pixel fold called CalyxOS that can run Pokémon Go. At least accordion to a 3 mo old reddit thread that says how to get it to go.

I'm currently on the LG Wing, but no one makes a degoogled os for it (hella rude of everyone to exclude me specifically).

So I could have a google brand phone, with no google on it. >:)

The benefits are obvious. One, it's funny. Two, more privacy. Three, new phone.

I'm going to visit tmoble tonite and see if they have any deals. If not I'll get a refurbished or open box one from a reputable store like best buy or a highly rated ebay seller. Not amazon. I don't want the device I use every day to he from amazon.
