Earlier pixel phones where known for their stock android experience. By now I feel it has changed. Now there are more AI applications on pixels than any phones out there and they all seems to be doing the same.
These pixel phones are essentially turning into a solely connected devices that need internet connection just to perform anything interesting. And also a privacy nightmare.
iodéOS and CalyxOS are expected to release for the FP6 in the coming months, and if you’re currently on a pixel those 2 + Graphene are easily available to you (Calyx is on Hiatus ATM and won’t be providing security updates until March 2026 current time of posting)
I don’t blame you honestly. I’ve been on Calyx for roughly 4 years so the break was a big PITA for me. I’ve been using iodé for the time being and its not bad, but its also not calyx.
and i agree with you about graphene, theyre a bit too much for my tastes

I’m more than ready to jump ship to another OS aslong as it gets timely updates. I really like the FF6 but the update history has been pretty poor.

That’s the kind of thing that worries me about custom OS.
GrapheneOS dude seems unhinged which puts me off, calyx just taking a big break…
