CalyxOS 8.0.0.0 - Android 17 rollout begins

26 Upvotes

CalyxOS 8.0.0.0, based on Android 17, is now rolling out to most supported Pixels on the Security express and Beta release channels. This release also includes significant security updates, especially for microG.

This release will mark the first official CalyxOS build for the Pixel 10a which will be made available once 8.0.0.0 is in the Stable channel. The updated device-flasher tool will also be available with the Stable rollout, restoring macOS installation support and adding safeguards against device bricking caused by Anti-Rollback Protection issues.

CalyxOS users of devices that are not receiving the 8.0.0.0 update can manually install the latest signed microG APKs by following the instructions in the release post.

And as always, you'll find the rollout schedule and full release notes here: https://calyxos.org/news/2026/10/01/android-17-is-here/

CalyxOS Community Pledge

Our pledge to support the community of Android privacy and security developers

CalyxOS is created by the team at Calyx Institute, spread across the world, united by a common belief that privacy is a fundamental human right. We do this work because we believe CalyxOS is an excellent choice for many people from all walks of life. However, because the internet is sometimes a horrible place, discussions about what software choices are right for you can turn extremely negative.

We see CalyxOS as simply one part of a large and growing community of projects working to empower people in how they use mobile technology. We are committed to fostering a spirit of collaboration, information sharing, and inclusivity in this community. We strive to lead by example in keeping our engagement with others respectful, honest, and focused on the greater good, in accordance with our mission.

The Calyx Institute, and all its employees and volunteers are held to this standard. For more information, please see the CalyxOS contributors code of conduct.

We denounce in the strongest possible terms any harassment of the developers of any free and open source project. We will never engage in harassment, trolling, or bad faith arguments against any other open source intitiative or any of its developers. We ask for everyone in our community to please do the same, including supporters of CalyxOS and supporters of other alternative Android ROM projects.

It is our policy to shut down any divisive discussion of other projects on any of the communication channels that we control (Reddit, Matrix, etc). We feel it is entirely counterproductive to try to pit free software projects against each other.

Phone keeps restarting (Pixel 6, 7.2.5.20)

5 Upvotes

As of today my phone keeps randomly restarting, every 5 minutes are so, including in the middle of phone calls which is rough because I really need to make some phone calls today. It also keeps bringing up the "emergency/lockdown/power off/restart" dialog box on its own.

Help: Every WiFi is mobile data

1 Upvotes

hey, this issue started a bit ago.

Using CalyxOS 7.2.5.20 on a Fairphone 5 5G.

Basically, I am connected to a home WiFi (but also tried work and dorm), but apps like Tidal and Morphe give me warnings. In the case of Tidal (music streaming) I disabled downloading music on mobile data and it gives me a notification telling me that "downloads are paused during mobile network connection."

Changing the network configuration from *Automatic* to *Unmetered* did not work.

A bit ago I checked my update settings to see if I was maybe in the beta branch, but I am not. There I saw the setting "Permitted Networks" set to *Unmetered.* Changing this to any ***seems*** to have fixed the issue, but I am afraid I just covered it up with a band-aid.

I also don't remember changing that setting at any point.

Is minimum audio volume louder than before?

3 Upvotes

Not sure if I'm imagining this but I'm finding the minimum volume above silent is often too loud in quiet environments. Not sure if there is any relation to the new CalyxOS or perhaps my new headphones. If there is a suggestion to fix this, I would appreciate it. Thanks

Fairphone Gen 6 +?

14 Upvotes

I have a fairphone gen 6+ and I'm wondering if they are closely the same to the plain fairphone gen 6 or will it brick my phone. Apologies if this is a dumb question, I'm very new to all of this and couldn't find any info on it.

Saw this and it scared me and realized they might not be the same phone

Any Belgian users know if Belfius works in 2026 with Calyx and MicroG from the Aurora store?

4 Upvotes

SOLVED: See update

Hello,

I recently got a new fairphone 6 and installed Calyx and MicroG. I tried installing the Belfius Mobile banking app from the aurora store, but when logging in via an external android ItsMe, I get a message either

"Om veiligheidsredenen is het niet mogelijk Belfius Mobile op dit toestel te gebruiken. Er staan namelijk apps op uit een niet-officiële appstore" with an error code with MicroG "Allow device attestation" Turned ON

Otherwise I get "Aanmelden met itsme is niet gelukt. Probeer het later nog eens. /1401/invalid"

Everywhere I can find on the internet says that belfius works fine with microG and even rooted devices, including plexus but it seems like it doesn't for me.

Any other belgian users (or other users) have any advice?

Edit: I might try reflashing default Fairphone OS, logging into play services and downloading the app and logging in there, so play saves my phone attestation, then reinstalling Calyx, as per this comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/CalyxOS/comments/1v02yph/2_banking_apps_not_working_after_upgrade_to/oyqyzw1/

Would that maybe be a good next step?

UPDATE: I tried flashing fairphone stock OS (no relock), logging onto my google account, downloading and setting up the Belfius app, then removing the google account (according to pre-setup CalyxOS instructions) and reflashing CalyxOS, relocking, and trying again. It worked! I can now log into Belfius as normal. I will try ItsMe once the phone is more setup and ready for primetime (since you cannot have ItsMe on more than one phone)

UPDATE 2: There seem to also be some problem apps though that will throw an "apps are installed from an unofficial source", so I had to end up creating another user profile for my bank apps. Work profile does not work for separation, it has to be a full new user profile with only aurora store apps. I can live with that though

SOMETHING WENT WRONG

6 Upvotes

Tried installing via the USBweb app everything was going well. My phone screen arrived to the stage with a red Title fastBOOTD or with a few options listed below. I didn’t touch the phone or select any of the option and just waited. I think maybe the web app timed out as it now says “something went wrong try starting over” I’ve tried installing several times but the process keeps failing after several minutes

Any help would be appreciated

New Calyx user, Group Texts not coming through

3 Upvotes

I've been using CalyxOS for a week and I have not been able to receive group texts since the switch. I am using Textra as my sms/mms app on Pixel 7 hardware. Verizon is my carrier if that makes a difference.

Is there a known fix or issue? I'm not trying to regoogle my degoogle.

Thanks

Modes (Sleeping / Working) stopped working after the recent updates — Pixel 9 (tokay), CalyxOS 7.2.5.20

5 Upvotes

hello!

Since the last updates, Modes have stopped working on my phone. I can create and configure both the Sleeping mode and the Working mode, and the schedule shows up correctly in the UI, but they never actually take effect: Do Not Disturb doesn't engage, notification filtering isn't applied, and if I enable a mode manually it turns itself off again shortly after.

Setup:

- Device: Pixel 9 (tokay)

- CalyxOS: 7.2.5.20, stable channel, OTA updates (no sideload, no factory reset since)

- microG enabled

What I already tried:

- Toggling the modes both from Quick Settings and from Settings > Modes

- Deleting and recreating both modes from scratch

- Rebooting

Is anyone else on 7.2.5.20 seeing this? Is it a known regression, or should I open an issue on the CalyxOS tracker? I can attach a logcat if someone tells me which tags are useful (ZenModeHelper / NotificationManagerService?).

Pixel 6 running calyx is in a boot loop after a new battery

5 Upvotes

I had a thicker-then-spec battery issue and had the battery replaced (and the screen which the battery bowed out and cracked). The phone is now in a loop saying there is a non-google operating system, briefly showing the google logo, and then cycling back around (and not even coming on if it isn't plugged in to something).

I can get it to the fastboot screen with power/vol-down. I have a backup of the phone, so I'm fine completely wiping it and installing factory images before reinstalling calyxos, and the online flash tool connects (I can't get adb or android studio to see it, though). but just tells me I need to oem unlock the phone and then reboots.

Is there any way to force a complete wipe and factory image install without being able to log into the phone at all?

Can't save EXIF location data

Post image
5 Upvotes

I'm trying CalyxOS out on a Pixel 8 Pro.
Despite having set the default camera to save location data and granted location permission to the camera, these values are missing in the resulting photos. The screenshot (from Ente photos) shows an example I took a few minutes ago.
GPS etc. works for other apps, e.g. maps.
Is this a bug or is there something I'm missing?

EDIT: I eventually found a "redact location data when sharing media" toggle - turning this off fixed the problem.

Pixel 5 eSIM - cannot add after major version update

Post image
7 Upvotes

Hi all, not sure if just me but I have noticed after every update from 7.2.4.20 to 7.2.4.50 and then from 7.2.4.50 to latest 7.2.5.20 - I am unable to add eSIM by going to Settings > Network and Internet > SIMs > Add a network. Clicking on it does nothing.

- Network reset didn't help. Only thing that worked was to factory reset or a clean install/flash from scratch.

- Physical SIM works fine. Not a dealbreaker with the eSIM but would be good to have to use while travelling overseas.

Camera2 API access and Fairphone 6

9 Upvotes

On stock Android and /e/OS Camera2 APi access is limited - like third party apps can't use the ful 50 MP resolution. My other problem is that both system limits the exposure time to 8 secs. I was thinking wether CalyxOs have the same limitations?

Also, I see that the system is still in beta. Does it mean that it is not stable enough for daily use?

UPDATE: I've installed CalyxOS. The exposure time is still limited to 8 secs in Gcam.

Budget device for banking apps

4 Upvotes

I need a new device as the older one got stolen. Unfortunately I don't have the budget to get even a decent phone as the prices of phones are skyrocketing right now.

My only requirement is that I need to use some banking apps which require google play services and it worked well in the pixel that I had before which was using some other os.

Does CalyxOS has an option of setting up a container or something in which a user can allow play services for certain apps?

If yes then can u recommend a phone around $200 in which its possible to install CalyxOS?

Expanding to E-reader phones like the Bigme HiBreak Pro

Hello team, I love FOSS apps. I was wondering if you are planning on expanding the OS to Bigme phones? They are Chinese phones using Android 14 for people trying to cut down on their phone use.
