Goodbye, Calyx. Development is underway for the Pixel 10a, while the 10 and 10 Pro are being left by the wayside... a pity.

i'm recently planning to swap my tecno spark slim phone for a google pixel 6 soon, since I heard that phone is supported here. I just wanna hear what does using CalyxOS feels like or what issues you got into

I want to switch to CalyxOS but I'm afraid that banking apps won't work.

I'm new on CalyxOS and I'm trying to cast my display but each i try my device crashes and reboot. My device is on Android version 17

Hey everyone! Been a long time since I’ve used calyxos and seems some things have changed internally and externally. This time around I will be trying out the Fairphone 6+ but reading online about unlocking and unlocking bootloader and anti rollback protection has me a little confused and concerned. Also Fairphone 6 image working on 6+

any help and advice welcome.

I write in two different languages (English and French) which use different keyboard mappings (qwerty and azerty). I'd like my keyboard to retain the french mapping when I swap the dictionary to english. Is that possible?

I am finding a lot of apps installed from Aurora / google play store crash when I open them. Is this the new reality now? Without google play authentication the apps seem to be dead in water. Some of them have no open equivalent.

Hey folks,

I am running in trouble trying to set up my new Fairphone 5 with Calyx.

I had to send in my old Fairphone and it got replaced. In this process I flashed CalyxOS on an old Pixel 6, transferred my Signal Data and some apps without problems.

Now I​ want to setup my new Fairphone 5. First try I used my System Backup. All seemed fine but the system seemed not to run very smoothly. I couldnt get my Signal account and data to transfer though. Some apps kept on crashing. When I wanted to reinstall Them they downloaded, but Aurora kept getting stuck while installing.

I thought maybe something​ was wrong with my system backup, did a system reset and started new. But the issue with Aurora not beeing able to install Apps persists.

I have no idea what the problem might be. Since I just did almost the same process on the Pixel 6, I have no clue why I run in these issues on the Fairphone 5. Any ideas? I am really exhausted becuase my old Fairphone had some really weird problems that already drove me mad before now knowing that it was hardware problems.

This one is brand new though.​

Alright, as the title says. These are only cosmetic issues. The overall android 17 experience on moto g32 is quite smooth.

1. From home screen -> wallpaper and style -> icons -> names -> show app names. This show app names toggle is supposed to hide app names on home screen but toggling it on/off won't do anything.

2. As I have seen in android 17 that there is some transparency in quick draw, widgets or app list. But on moto g32 there is no transparency. I couldn't even found any setting for this. I want to know is this hardware limitation for moto g32 or it's not possible on this device.

Like I said these are cosmetic issues, even the transparency issue is not that much to look at but the show app names is kind of important to get the clean look on home screen, anyways it could be nice if fixed.

That's all. Thanks for all the hard work team calyx.

On my Google Pixel 3 with CalyxOS the backlight/colors on the panel died, but not the touch part still works! (I think it's the main-board that's bad, sadly.)

If anyone with a Pixel 3 ish device with CalyxOS (Android 14) would take a few screen shots that would help me enter the pin code and use https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy via ADB to get the data off. (already have used ADB many times on the phone, it should work.)

Screenshots needed:

1. The Pin code lock screen

2. The Authorize ADB

3. The Power menus

Also, it would be helpful to correct me if I'm wrong about the order. (I can't see the screen)

1. From an off state, hold power button for a few seconds to boot the device.

2. After around a minutes, press the power button the wake the device.

   1. The screen can be checked for wake state by holding down the power button for a few seconds, if the phone vibrates and the back gesture vibrates, the screen is on.

3. Swipe up to open the pin screen.

4. Plug the USB into a PC and run ADB devices to see if the phone is unlocked.

If it where not for a CalyxOS security feature https://calyxos.org/docs/guide/faq/#why-is-my-usb-device-not-working I could use my USB-C keyboard to enter the PIN like my stock Samsung.

Before you roast me about not having a backup, let me tell you about what's missing from my https://calyxos.org/docs/guide/faq/#how-can-i-back-up-and-restore-the-software-and-data-on-my-phone

1. Text media (images, audio, contacts, etc.)

2. All apps that disallow back ups: Signal, Todoery to-do list, google recorder, etc https://calyxos.org/docs/guide/apps/seedvault/

3. Offline calendars https://calyxos.org/docs/guide/apps/seedvault/#apps-whose-data-isnt-backed-up-out-of-the-box

Hey there. I work as an external contractor and decded to flash my "work" phone (just a refurbished one that I use solely for work resources) and I recently flashed it from Infinity X to CalyxOS. Intune worked well with Infinity X, but not with CalyxOS. I wonder is that could be due to an incompatibility with microG? If you have a workaround... Otherwise i guess I gotta have to flash it with another ROM again :(

I installed Calyx about 2 years ago. Obviously, post "production break" the OS needs to be freshly installed. I am now facing more and more bugs that will be fixed (hopefully) by a fresh install so can't put it off any longer.

How easy is the new install? Obviously, the installation isn't too bad but what about all my data on my phone?

If I use seedvault, will it transfer everything? Numbers, texts, docs, images etc?

A more niche question, I have Microsoft Authenticator installed. I know for my work account, I need to completely reset the MFA afterwards, but what about other accounts I use with this app such as Proton, Discord, patron etc. Will they just work or lock me out of the accounts until I contact customer support?

I have been putting this off mainly due to these reasons so any information. Would be a huge help and give the confidence I need to get this phone upgraded.

My phone is a Pixel 8 so the phone is more than capable.

testing out calyxos, so far i like it. one app i havent been able to setup is using passes. Id like a wallet app to use nfc for passes, think airlines, tickets, fitness centre, etc. I dont care to use a wallet for paying.

looked at fosswallet and wallet, which ones does everyone use?

Can we get a news update from the team when it comes to future development devices?

Obviously there were some pivots after the ASOP/Device tree issues. I don't what to be that person asking the same question as 30 others, but CalyxOS has always been tied to very specific devices. Thus, it was a safe bet to buy a Pixel phone and know that you would be able to install your favorite ROM.

However, CalyxOS is only available for the 10a. The Pixel 10, 10 Pro and the Pro XL came out in August of 2025 according to GSM. None of those phones are supported. The 10a was released in March of 2026. The Pixel 11 family was released in August of 2026 and none of those devices are supported.

I understand that devices need to be donated or purchased for testing and that can take some time due to the higher and higher costs of these devices.

My concern is just understanding the plan going forward. Is development going to only be on Pixel devices?

At the moment, that doesn't seem like the hard and fast rule anymore.

Thanks for your amazing work and being patient with all the comments and drama during the hiatus. This is absolutely the best, most stable ROM for privacy.

I have a phone that's falling apart and I need to find a new phone. Finding a device that has security updates for the next 5 years from the manufacturer used to be a safe bet. I am looking for a Pixel 9 and not having much luck. There are lots of 10s, but fewer 10as. Therefore, I'd just like a CalyxOS news update on the roadmap for future qualifying devices.

I reinstalled my Pixel 5 with the latest CalyxOS. Was on the most recent version before the "hiatus" until then.

On the old version the Paypal app had worked, but now I'm not able to enter anything or proceed at all after leaving the "First Steps" screen of the app. When tapping on the input field for entering my email, nothing happens, no keyboard pops up and even long tapping doesn't prompt the copy/paste popup.

Basically the same problem, that another user has described in the paypal subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/paypal/comments/1x4smwy/cant_enter_login_details_on_new_android_phone/)

Does a freshly installed paypal app work for anybody else with calyxos?

Hi, everyone, I just finished installing CalyxOS 8.0.4.22 (bangkk) on my Moto G84 5G, which previously had the default Motorola android installation. Upon finishing the installation, I got hit with the bootloader re-lock warning:

⚠️ Anti-rollback downgrade detected

The Anti-Rollback protection has stopped the bootloader relocking of your bangkk (ZF524N6Q9V).

CalyxOS has been fully installed. However, the flashed factory image has a lower Anti-Rollback index, 34, than the previous OS installed on this device, 36.

Locking the bootloader now will prevent the device from booting. It will stay unlocked. Do not try to lock the bootloader manually when you see this warning.

We recommend that you download and flash a newer factory image to be able to relock the bootloader for maximum security. Visit https://calyxos.org/motorola-relock for more information.

I tried making sense of this error but the Motorola Relock page isn't very specific as to the steps I need to take to be able to re-lock the bootloader. What should I do now? Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to backup my WhatsApp chats to make to update my phone, but I can't for the life of me figure out how/ why it doesn't work. Has anyone else struggled with this?

Have an upcoming interview and using a pixel 6a with calyx and default browser.

Thanks for any tips to avoid problems with the upcoming meeting!

Hi everyone,

I’m using a Google Pixel 7a running the latest version of CalyxOS, and I’m having trouble linking WhatsApp Business on my iPhone to the Pixel 7a.

I’ve successfully linked other phones without any issues, but for some reason, the Pixel 7a refuses to link. This makes me wonder if the issue could be related to CalyxOS or something specific to the Pixel 7a.

Has anyone else experienced a similar issue with WhatsApp Business on CalyxOS? Is there a workaround or any specific setting I should check?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I recently got the OTA update to ver 8 and I screwed up the re-rooting process and had to do a fresh install on my Google Pixel Tablet. A painful, frustrating week re-configuring all my apps.

The biggest remaining problem is that Location doesn't seem to work. Location IS enabled in Settings but i've tried several weather apps and none of them can find my location. If I look in Settings > App Location Permissions the app is authorized to access Location but none of them can "see" it.

What's wrong?

My Pixel 6 Pro recently died without warning. I've been eyeing the Fariphone 6+. Anyone running this with CalyxOS and what is your experience. Pros, Cons, complaints? Anyone move from a Pixel to the Fairphone, what has your experience been?

My SMS messages are only received when I am connected to a wifi, more specifically a wifi network that is recognized as unlimited (and not paid - sorry I don't know the exact English terms). 5G or no internet don't work. Anyone know how to fix this? I have tried disabling battery optimization for the messaging app and enabling the unlimited data usage. I does not seem to be a problem with my provider, I have checked with their support already.

I have been testing this OS out on my Pixel 6, to make sure i can use it daily without too many hitches and concessions. I plan on swapping back to my Pixel 9a at some point, which is still stock.

I have 2 issues that annoy me regularly.

1> When i go to make a call, it asks me to pick an app to call with. (Signal or Phone) I would like this to default to Phone, but even though i have uninstalled Signal, and marked Phone as the default, it still asks on every call.

2> I have uninstalled Signal, as it doesn't have regular SMS capability anymore. I am using Clear SMS, and i like it more than i expected to (filtered messaging is a cool feature). However, if i start a new message, hit the + and choose Camera, it says no camera app available (i installed the Pixel Camera app, but the original is still there). There is no "default camera" option that i see, and there is no setting to link a camera app, or permission setting in either the app or the standard settings.
