Can you even lock the bootloader on your device? [2]

- NewJazz 5mo agoNot using it currently but they recently released some test builds of android 16. And yeah aiui bootloader relocking is supported for devices that are compatible. https://old.reddit.com/r/CalyxOS/comments/1t3tdt6/calyxos_progress_report_our_test_build_with/ https://old.reddit.com/r/CalyxOS/comments/1t3tdt6/calyxos_pr...
- subscribed 5mo agoThey released the _test builds_.... now, almost a year since the release, while the beta of Android 17 was released 3 months ago. Right, CalyxOS says that releases are paused so presumably the work is slow. The problem with lagging is that only some of the security patches are backported to older androids, so the project would have to backport remaining ones themselves. Let's be real, no one does that in CalyxOS for all the supported devices. Out of their 15 supported "modern devices" 10 are pixels. Their extended support phones (6 devices) has three pixels as well. Might as well get more modern and secure OS instead (A16 with fixes and working call recording for example) :)
