CalyxOS is back
After a period of uncertainty, the CalyxOS mobile operating system project has resumed active development. The team announced renewed efforts on updates and improvements for privacy-focused Android users, signaling the project's continuation.
Background
CalyxOS is a privacy-focused Android-based mobile operating system (not iOS, not stock Android). It removes Google services by default and adds security hardening. The project went quiet for much of 2024 after its lead developer left and funding became uncertain — causing concern that it was dead. This article reports that development has resumed under new maintainers, with updated builds now shipping again.
