My pixel 5 is currently running on grapheneOS and will be unsupported soon so I’m looking to switch over to CalyxOS for an extended support. Are there any other deGoogled OS’s you guys recommend?

    Your options in aftermarket OS fall in to 3 categories imao

    1. those that support relocking the bootloader (grapheme,calyx,divest, other smaller projects maybe)

    2. vanilla roms with signature spoofing permission so that you can have microg on them. Some even come with microg preinstalled (/e/,lode,Los4mg) And some are gmscomat compatible (voltage,awaken,spark). There are plenty but they don’t care about signed images and relocking.

    3. some unofficial build from any of the above from a maintainer that cares to sign his own images so that you can relock your BL as your device supports it.

      Honestly, with FBE, I wouldn’t bother with bootloader relocking

      You get all the disadvantages of a locked bootloader with none of the advantages(strong integrity or widevine L1 certification)

      Instead, FBE allows you to wipe data but not access it without pin, or whatever

      If your recovery doesn’t have support for decryption, it just doesn’t access data!
