After being on hiatus for almost a year Calyx OS has started releasing again. A degoogled Android ROM for Pixels, Fairphones, Shift phones and Motorolas.

Damn just a few months after I finally gave up waiting and switched to iodéOS. If migrating between android OSs was as easy as desktop, I might switch back, but I can’t be arsed now. Glad it’s back tho!

Back in KitKat, lollipop days I was able to restore just data partition using twrp. Not sure if it still works…

This is great, but how can we be sure this won’t happen again in the future?

I’m on Pixel + Graphene right now.

If I this thing dies before Motorola does its GOS release, what’s currently the best de-googled hardware/OS combo for like $400 bucks?

How do you locate your phone if stolen, find my device, if not Google… I thought about doing that step but I don’t find a replacement for “Find my Device” and Wallet (NFC Payment cards) … Otherwise I would do it. So how do you do this?

I honestly haven’t thought about it too much. I think you can get a cheapie bluetooth watch to send you an alert if its nearby.

You can probably enable Google’s find my if you want, but then what’s the point of having a secure phone if Google always knows where you are?

Not too be to defeatist about things–there may be a solution out there for you–but a lot of the conveniences of modern life require trade-offs that we are encouraged to not think about.

Since the armed robbery in march I keep thinking how to manage the location thing to find the device…

I’ve been a great fan of the project and used it as my daily driver for >5 years. It was stable as heck and the devs were super responsive, even adding in neat features at users’ request.

That said, I’ve lost trust in the project and moved on to GrapheneOS. The departures of Chirayu Desai and Nick Merrill smell weird from miles away. The latter left without any words of farewell explaining why he’d abandon his own project from one day to the other. I won’t engage in speculation as to what happened behind the scenes, but there are enough red flags here to keep my distance.
