I'd argue that it's more akin to Ubuntu relying on Debian for updates, or Microsoft's Edge / Brave Browser / one of the many other forks relying on Google for Chromium / Blink updates. The one distinction is in

On CalyxOS you do get an option to disable microG when setting it up for the first time, see https://calyxos.org/features/microg/#1-microg-disabled microG being disabled but present is still enough for some apps t

Telling even the newer devices about your pubkey doesn't get the scare screen away. You see a Yellow Verified Boot warning meaning the OS is signed and verifies but with a custom set of keys. When you lock the bootloader you block othe

You definitely could, we used to support it in a previous iteration. This was also possible on the Nexus devices, although the oldest I've tried it is the Nexus 6P. It just worked slightly differently on those, nowadays you enroll the

We're already sharing developers, even one of the directors :P Only question is: who forks what.

The newest Pixels are the best given that's what Google will support the longest, and with every Pixel generation they make a lot of improvements. https://calyxos.org/about/faq/device-support/#update-time

The other aspect to this is that you can install a custom OS on the Pixels and still re-locked the bootloader, which means you get Verified Boot and all the security guarantees that brings. https://source.android.com/securit

WhatsApp is not one of those apps, we only include FOSS apps.

Google Camera works just fine, entirely offline as well. You do miss out on some other pixel-specific features (Hold for Me for example), but camera quality should be unaffected.

Thank you for bringing this up. We're continuing to fund work on it, both ourselves and also through applying for external funding. Full Storage backup support (Files / Photos) was recently added thanks to a grant from NLnet - ht

We do, https://calyxos.org/features/ (Look for "Trusted Agent" to see a screenshot) The code for this was already present in AOSP, Google simply had it disabled / reverted in their builds. We just bring

Note: You can only do this when the bootloader is unlocked. When it's locked (which is the entire point of custom verified boot), this is not allowed.

by cdesai 5y ago
Exactly. Signal is available as a default however you can choose not to install it. WhatsApp is shown as an option if you have it installed, the option won't show up if you don't. The rationale being: We didn't exactly ant to
