OS Options

Last updated: September 17, 2025

Overview Choose between official CalyxOS and a Lineage-based build, both installed with locked bootloader and verified boot. Updates stay on upstream OTAs.

Quick compare

  • CalyxOS
    • Privacy-first with microG/sandboxed Play optional (OFF by default).
    • Good app compatibility; hardened defaults. Recommended for most.
  • Lineage-based
    • Clean AOSP-like Android without microG. Recommended for experienced.

Updates

  • Stay on upstream OTA; we publish signed images ~7 days after upstream.

[NOTE] microG/sandboxed Play is opt-in and increases exposure; we warn about the trade-offs at order time and in docs.
