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.
