    Do you realize that you have very little privacy if you use Android or iOS? You location information and a huge amount of your data is being sucked up by Google and others. If you want privacy, you want to replace sotck Android with CalyxOS.
    In this video I show you how to install CalyxOS on a Google Pixel phone in 8 minutes. Start setting yourself free from the matrix.

    Operating systems like CalyxOS and GrapheneOS make an assumption that I'm personally curious about. Can we trust the hardware that the operating system is being installed on? Standard computers have been found to run management engines and microcode, as well as an operating system closer to the hardware, thus questioning potential undoing of what should be a privacy focus.

      Even then I believe a lot of the instructions are just built in that allow for spying.

      @@davidbombal It is the cheapest with 7 years of service for the Google Pixel 8. The biggest issue with other roms is the length of security updates. It is hard to find cheap, factory unlocked phones that still receive security updates and will end up be cheaper on an amortized basis. So much so, it is basically impossible. The low level phones like the Motorola Play simply aren't supported by any of the custom ROMs and even if they did, they might have 3 years of support when they come out new, a year left when they are on sale for $150. At that rate, you're better off with a Pixel. Unless, you're just going to use them as a throwaway or a binge drinking phone, in which case, lifespan doesn't matter much anyway, just overall cost. Now, let's discuss changing the IMEI and mac addresses on the radios of the Pixel.

      Depends on your bank. However, to hide the fact that you have a custom ROM you must root your device and set up many things to spoof your device's properties and the fact that you have root. It's not easy and takes quite a bit of effort to both srt up and maintain. However if your banking app works even after installing Calyx, you can consider yourself lucky and just leave it at that

    This OS is very convenient. It does everything that stock Android does, minus the constant tracking, ads and spyware. I am using it for two years now on an older Pixel and the support from the developers is very good, you get most updates only a couple weeks after the official Google ones. It is a shame it only runs on so few devices, but the Pixel phones are usually pretty good so its not much of a compromise.

      Some people would agree with you. A lot of this stuff depends on your threat model and your privacy and cybersecurity requirements. Getting rid of all the Google tracking in stock Android is a big step forward. If you want hard core privacy, use Graphene with no social media apps or other apps can that affect your privacy. However, not everyone is ready for that level of hassle. So, this is better than a stock Android and a good start on the privacy journey. Horses for courses as they say in the UK. There is no one size fits all option - you need to decide for yourself.

However, GrapheneOS, CalyxOS and other projects like this are maintained entirely by a community of volunteers, with all the source code public, free for anyone to look at, copy, modify etc. The only money the devs get comes from open-source software like this comes from donations, and sometimes from sponsors.

    I was wondering if it supports any form of UPI because Gpay usually doesn't work after rooting a device.

    Are there any issues around using MicroG - is there not some spoofing involved ? How can Google allow anonymous access to the PlayStore through the Aurora store ?

      For MicroG signature spoofing AFAIK you need the ROM to build in support for that in the system, or you need root access

    Can you change afterwards to on other OS like iode ?
    Can you go back to the original Android OS for if you want to sell your phone later ?
