Curious what phones are more privacy-focused.

        Hey :)

        I recently broke my 1+6T, and settled on a Pxel 7 to replace it. I will flash a custom ROM on it, but I have concerns regarding GrapheneOS since Rossmann exposed Daniel.

        That said, I’ve heard about CalyxOS, and I’d say the Calyx project is interesting! How does it run for a daily driver? Security-wise, I reckon ir’s a middle ground between GraphenOS and LineageOS, but I’m not sure what to expect from it…

            Saying Micay has stepped down is big assertion, since they could be pretty much anyone coding for the project (I mean, having an alias). It’s a matter of trust and if I cannot trust them to do what they say, I still trust the community behind the project.

            That’s why I ended up flashing GrapheneOS. I did try CalyxOS, but couldn’t find any real value compared to LineageOS (besides, maybe, network authorization) when it comes to apps installation and behavior. I’m happy with the settings of GrapheneOS, and I’ll see how the situation evolves to decide if I keep it or not :). I have no doubt that if Micay stays around, we will hear bout them in no time.
