My project for this evening: set up #CalyxyOS on my wife's #FP5

I'm using #CalyxyOS on my phone, using #microg as location service.
Now hearing that #mozilla will shut down its location provider, I checked my settings and noticed I can't choose the installed location backends like https://f-droid.org/packages/helium314.localbackend/ anymore. Only a swipe for Mozilla and one for local storage.
Is this local backend now integrated, and is this change by #calyx or microg, that I can't choose more backends anymore?

And beta #CalyxyOS builds are available for #FP5
Today us not my day for testing CalyxOS
But soon, I hope

@PC_Fluesterer @beardedtechguy Im not an expert I this, but I would clearly bet that some of those #privacy focused ROMs are much, much better than #iOS .

At the very least the more stringent ones, like #grapheneos , #CalyxyOS , ...

@truls46 @gaufff

Btw. if I had a Fairphone, I would run #CalyxyOS on it. Like e/OS/, it's an Android distro, but more secure and privacy-oriented.

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of a way to buy a @Fairphone with @calyxos pre-installed.

If you join @calyxinstitute, you get a Google Pixel 6a with CalyxOS pre-installed, but an even better OS for that phone would be @GrapheneOS IMHO.

How do you all try to stay #private on the internet? I have my own recursive DNS set up, I use a #selfhosted search engine (SearXNG), I run #CalyxyOS of my phone, and I recently just set up my main WiFi network to route outbound traffic through a #VPN... Having some issues with usability with specific websites on that last one though...

Anyways just asking for a friend who doesn't need corporate america to know she's #genderfluid...

Oh duh I also have run redundant piholes and TRY to use Signal to talk w/ folks too!

Am I missing something on #CalyxyOS #security updates? On #grapheneos it seems that there is a march update since 4th and on Calyx' website no beta announcement.

Does anyone have more info or can link a channel where to gather those info?

Thanks a lot.

Since I’m looking at #NextCloud, I might as well revisit #CalyxyOS with a spare Pixel 7. 🤷🏼‍♂️

From a few toots ago, I'm currently running two different #Pixel phones, one running stock Google while rooted, the other running @calyxos with #MicroG enabled for minimal use cases. Its only been a 24hours and I'm already ready to leave society and join the resistance 🤣 all joking aside, I'm digging the #CalyxyOS phone a little more so than expected (even though its hardware is weaker, you'd never know it).

Wenn ich mir ein Google #Pixel hole, weil ich die gute Kamera mit all ihren AI Fähigkeiten haben möchte, kann ich diese Kamera auch noch ohne Einschränkungen verwenden, wenn ich #CalyxyOS oder #grapheneos installiere, weil mir #Datenschutz im Betriebssystem ebenso wichtig ist?

#Googlepixel

My #CalyxyOS phone, for about a week now, has been unable to read the battery on my #Pixel4.

If I disconnect if from power, it just turns off after about a minute- making this not useful as a cell phone.

I hoped they'd fix this in an update, and there was an update- no fix. I'm running Stable.

This, along with not being able to use google play services in a sandbox, may push me to go back to #grapheneos

Anyone else in the same boat or have suggestions?

@EduTechBerlin
Ich habe kürzlich #CalyxyOS installiert und habe durchweg positive Erfahrungen gemacht. Ich lasse es mir #microg laufen, aber ohne eigenes Google-Konto.

E-sim nur ich nicht
WhatsApp nutze ich nicht

Alles andere inkl. Banking ( #sparkasse + #dkb ) läuft problemlos.

@MrGR

Mein Degoogled #CalyxyOS hat beim Telekom-Vorabtest Laut gegeben 🫣

@microg awesome release! Super exited to see it landed on #CalyxyOS

@oss nothing to complain. Everything works great, flashing worked pretty easy. #CalyxyOS

@thenewoil I like #CalyxyOS because it is easy to install as a daily driver for your relatives who are no tech savvies. But CalyxOS should actually respect the licenses.
But #grapheneos should also be a bit mild with CalyxOS.
You are both fighting big tech!

Schonmal was von #geofence gehört?
Cop: waren sie am <Tag><Uhrzeit> an <Ort>?
XY: ich red nicht mit Cops.
Cop: ok, fragen wir einfach google, welche Geräte ALLE am <Tag><Uhrzeit> an <Ort> waren.

Ungoogle your devices! #GrapheneOS #CalyxyOS

Zack fertig! Macht Bock und sieht gut aus. Und fühl mich noch etwas besser als mit GOS.
#CalyxyOS give it a try
