What with my Fairphone 4 just receiving it's last #CalyxOS update for a while and when they do start again it has to be a full reinstall, So I'm wondering has any UK folk successfully got UK banking apps running in #Waydroid using a #PostMarketOS device ?? If so which apps work ??

I'm absolutely not bothered about phone calls just data and I'm considering a Fairphone 5 as most things apart from audio seem to work already. I do have a OnePlus 6T too but haven't used it for a year or two.

Boosts appreciated and thank you ❤️

@evacide#CalyxOS is mentioned in there. The timing may have been bad, but they've recently issued a letter to the community that is worth a read for anyone considering CalyxOS https://calyxos.org/news/2025/08/01/a-letter-to-our-community/

This week in #FDroid (TWIF) is live but late to toot:

* Slow updates? There's a reason, or 2️⃣
* Don't be surveilled, engage in our research 🔭
* Using #Calyx#CalyxOS? Read now! 💔
* #DeltaChat hits v2, #ArcaneChat soon™
* #NeoStore finally upgrades to Index-V2
* #NewPipe in your 🚗 ? Maybe...
* #Wesnoth is back 🐴 ⚔️

#CalyxOS releases and security updates will be paused for 4-6 months due to retooling, personnel departures and the recent changes to #AOSP. They've released a "letter to the community" here.

I'm debating on whether to move to GrapheneOS or, since their social media team attacked and "banned" me, and accused me of being some kind of spy because I mentioned CalyxOS in a comment, I may just use regular #Android and lock it down the best I can.

#Security#Privacy

I’m running CalyxOS on my old Fairphone4, not because it’s a bad choice, but precisely to observe how incredibly behind this OS is on security updates.

My primary device today is a Pixel 9a running GrapheneOS, not this outdated, insecure, and privacy-compromised Fairphone 4.

This Fairphone never became my daily driver once I realized just how far behind it is on security and privacy. I used it from October 2022 until I switched to my Pixel 6a running GrapheneOS in early May 2023, and only recently upgraded to the 9a (see links below):

Now, heading into August 2025, and the Fairphone is on Android 15 with vendor and firmware updates on CalyxOS stuck at versions from March 5 for vendor, and June 1 Platform and June 5 for kenel updates, months behind in a critical security landscape. 😐

If you think GrapheneOS isn’t private and secure, check out this comparison chart covering GrapheneOS, CalyxOS, IodéOS, /e/os, LineageOS, and Stock Android.

https://eylenburg.github.io/android_comparison.htm

It shows how much more GrapheneOS focuses on security and privacy compared to the others!

Edit: GrapheneOS only supports Pixel devices because they meet the project’s security requirements, offering hardware features like memory tagging (MTE), StrongBox keystore, hardware key attestation, pKVM, hardened malloc, and more: https://grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices

Further news from the #CalyxOS team regarding Android 16.

It seems that their security updates will be delayed due to a shifting emphasis on re-tooling for the new changes in how Android is shared (or not) with the FOSS community.

This... this is bad. :(

For the first time I flashed a phone with #CalyxOS from another CalyxOS phone using @calyxos 's web installer ( https://install.calyxos.org/ ). No additional laptop was necessary. Quite a step from the first times we flashed phones at the @fsfe in 2012. Thanks @grote for the hint to try that out!
