For the most part of android’s years, one major problem or defactor has been ‘PRIVACY’ related issues. This is where “CALYX OS” comes in.

Calyx OS wants to be the bridge that connects you to the Internet world then burns that bridge every time you are done.

Yes, I mean the word literally.



About Calyx OS.

Calyx OS in its core, deep deep down is ANDROID. Yes. Calyx OS runs on top android open source code.

What makes calyx standout is its ability to replace every spying app, service or activity on your android phone with something more secure or simply throws the need for that app, service or activity away.



Calyx OS privacy.

Most apps on your android device are literally a spyware. A simple Google search takes your private data to Google who then decides what to do with it; scary right?

And, if you purchase an android device the one thing you expect to see in there is the Google service. Which is Google’s answer for everything android. Google dialer [phone], Google messages [message app], Chrome [browser] and more.

Yes, these Google Apps are all closed source from Google.

Calyx OS when installed on your device replaces everything with Google on your device to something more privacy oriented and data conscious.

Take for instance, calyx OS replaces your average Google service app with what they call MicroG. This app does everything you need your Google service app to do [except make payments related services] and doesn’t steal your data.

For an exclusive, Calyx uses signal messenger to send and receive calls. Uses Tor browser for accessing the Internet and tons of privacy oriented vpns to secure your data even while accessing the Internet. That is how private the OS is keeping things.







Signal Private Messenger Review [Signal is the older sibling of WhatsApp].


Calyx App store instead of Google play store.

This OS has two inbuilt App store. one is your native Google App store [Aurora]. Also when you click on an app in the aurora app store, you are greeted with details like trackers and other possible means the very app can steal or invade your privacy.



While the other App Store is called [F-DROID]. This App store only has apps that cannot steal your data because they are open sources.





Like it or not, to access the Google play store on android or any device. You need a Gmail account. Calyx fixes this problem by randomly generating a Gmail account for your device whenever you approach the Aurora App store for an app [Genuses].



Calyx OS: an hidden gem.

Unlike most OS eg; android, IOS, palm os or even harmony OS. Calyx OS deliberately relies on public donations to function. This model has almost chained Calyx to a narrow publicity, because they cannot apply for public ads to bring calyx to everyone.

Also Calyx OS can only run on the Pixel 5 series for now and it was recently ported on a xiaomi device for testing.

Lets face it, companies like Huawei who are currently on the other side of Google may choose to adopt Calyx for their smartphones without consequences, even Huawei’s DuckduckGo search engine is integrated in Calyx OS.

But imagine if xiaomi or Samsung chooses to keep their users private by running calyx OS on their devices?

That will certainly rattle Google’s cage and may lead to series of cut service from Google to these brands. Seeing what has happened to Huawei, many oem won’t want to attract the wrath of the Almighty Google.



Conclusion.

Calyx is obviously the future of Smartphones and data security, but this future may never come to pass except smartphone users like me and you discuss the potential of this beautiful craftsmanship called Calyx OS with smartphone users who are privacy cantious.



Appreciation.

One of the few people talking about Calyx OS and even has a video on that is Mr who’s the boss . We at allroundreview wouldn’t have known about this amazing os if Mr who’s the boss didn’t talk about it on his channel.

Bigger thanks to Mr Bright, the mind keeping activities of Allroundreview going. He brought calyx to my attention.

Same was said for SymbianOS then

No one is infallible

Is there any phone currently using this OS now ?

Looks like some undercover shît.

Android is still the way but anything that offers privacy isn't bad either

Rubbish

Well... Its not an original OS built from the ground up.. its just android without google apps...

Even if they promise privacy, we all know they are still going collect data one way or the other...

Google releases regular security patches for android and also android updates... Will the same Calyx OS get to offer the same security patch??

Lol an Android custom rom, you are saying it like it's an entirely different operating system. It's even worse removing Google Apps on an Android phone, because if you're not able to use Google services you are fvcked!!

It's an entirely different operating system based on android open source libraries.
Just like harmony OS or Chrome OS.

In the article if you read it, there is a replacement for Google service.

There is another one called freedom os it's runs on android.
It's has a lot of privacy too.

Honestly, it's hard to trust anything related to Google and Android



Am certainly not going to trust this one.

I don't trust google

Owned by who? I didn't see that.

This alternative Android OS will later feature Ads to remain afloat.

No phone comes with it pre-installed but you can install it if you want (and if you are using a Pixel device or a Xiaomi Mi A2) from their website

No you're not. I think you should watch Arun's video on it (MrWhoseTheBoss) and check out their website. I think it's a great initiative and one I'd have lived to test out but sadly I'm not using a Pixel device

Okay, but is there any phone using this os now? Cos the android I'm enjoying on my tecno phone is still serving me very much well

I don't trust these kinds of privacy systems. Where is the guarantee that they won't collect information for themselves?
I use Android myself and don't want to switch to something else as I'm used to working with the system. Nevertheless, I would try a similar operating system based on Android Tutorials. If they can provide me at least some of the privacy they talk about, I would be glad. I like the features that an android user gets, like setting up privacy or the smartphone interface. Share which smartphone I can use Calyx OS?

This one is still in beta stage and will be filled with bugs... so it's a no no for me until proven otherwise.

All this so called new is always come and go every year,even the harmony is is nowhere to be found today,it couldn't handle the competition
In my opinion only big tech companies like samsung that has alternate service to googles own can compete in the market if they switch os
It's probably one of the reasons they have alternate apps to almost all google apps trying to perfect it
