So after experimenting with #LineageOS for a week or so, I decided that, in light of the fact the #CalyxOS folks have re-published their images, albeit with warnings they won't be receiving updates, I've decided to just switch back to Calyx for the next few months. It'll be a better experience than I've gotten with other ROMs and despite missing updates, it'll still be way more up to date than probably 90% of the #Android devices out there right now, with all the CalyxOS niceties.
@iode Got the installer working on a Fedora laptop, ran it after factory resetting CalyxOS on my Fairphone 4, enabled OEM unlocking, then...nothing, just forever in fastboot mode on the FP4 with "device state: locked." Oh dear. Anyone? #CalyxOS #iodeOS #Fairphone #Fairphone4 #FP4
This week in #FDroid (TWIF) is live but late to toot:
* Slow updates? There's a reason, or
* Don't be surveilled, engage in our research
* Using #Calyx #CalyxOS? Read now!
* #DeltaChat hits v2, #ArcaneChat soon™
* #NeoStore finally upgrades to Index-V2
* #NewPipe in your ? Maybe...
* #Wesnoth is back
& 164 more updates

After using #calyxos as #unplugtrump os I now switched to #iodeOS on #fairphone5. Installation was pretty smooth. Np backup needed as I store my data in my Nextcloud or Synology DSM.
now setting up my new "trial" mobile environment. I still use my #iPhone for my work needs.
But would actually like to have a full #ungoogled phone.
What are the must have Apps to increase Security in iodeOS?
unfortunately #GraphenOS is not available for #FP5
Da das Custom-ROM #CalyxOS für 4 bis 6 Monate pausiert, empfehle ich aus Sicherheitsgründen auf ein anderes ROM zu wechseln.

Check out this insightful interview with CalyxOS CEO @nickcalyx discussing the challenges and complexities of developing an alternative operating system. It offers a deep dive into the world of open-source operating systems and the vision behind CalyxOS. https://peertube.futo.org/videos/watch/5b70ee4a-5d9d-4827-8040-e79622622d10?isPeertubeContent=1 #OpenSource #Privacy #Security #TechTalk #CalyxOS #FUTO #DigitalAutonomy #Linux #TechCommunity
Excuse me... #CalyxOS is effectively frozen without security updates, for 4-6 MONTHS.
That is a hell of a thing, for something people are actually daily driving, and buying phones pre-installed with.

The #CalyxOS -> #IodéOS migration has been pretty smooth, so far.
I didn't trust Seedvault to handle it, so I did everything manually, which was exhausting. But I know that everything works.
The only feature I'm missing is the built-in work profile management, but it has TrackerControl-like features built-in so I might not even need it.
Just catalogued the approximately 60 core #Android apps I use, and made manual backups of all of the ones that have that feature.
That was exhausting. Now I'm ready to migrate. :P
I think I'm going to go with #IodéOS. That seems to be the closest to #CalyxOS (feature-wise), which is what I've used since September 2021.
#CalyxOS: Android-Custom ROM pausiert Entwicklung für bis zu sechs Monate
Keine Patches, keine Updates für bis zu sechs Monate. Das Team des Google-freien Custom-ROMs CalyxOS steht vor massiven Problemen und setzt die Entwicklung aus. https://www.heise.de/news/CalyxOS-Android-Custom-ROM-mit-massiven-Problemen-10510039.html
Nachdem CalyxOS zumindest für die nächsten Monate leider keine Option mehr ist, werde ich auf meinem Pixel erstmal zu GrapheneOS wechseln, um dessen Community aber einen großen Bogen machen. Was ich mit meinem Fairphone 4 mache habe ich noch nicht final entschieden, aktuell tendiere ich zu IodeOS...

#CalyxOS peeps, what are you moving to? (re: "A letter to the CalyxOS community")

Anyone have any info on what caused the two leadership departures at #android #calyxos? 6 months of no updates sounds like a nail in the coffin for the #os distro. It has been removed from https://FullStackOpenSource.com
