How to install CalyxOS on Android using Linux Ubuntu - (**I now only recommend GrapheneOS**)

It's time to DeGoogle your phone and take back some of your privacy. CalyxOS contains features and options not found in most mobile device manufacturers' official firmware. Included are phone dialer interaction with encrypted calling apps like Signal and WhatsApp, Tor integration, and free VPN services provided by The Calyx Institute and other non-profits like Riseup. DuckDuckGo is the primary search engine, and DuckDuckGo's Android browser is the default web browser in CalyxOS. MicroG is also included in CalyxOS as a privacy-enhancing substitute for some of the Google Play Services features. CalyxOS has also led the development of SeedVault an encrypted backup and restore application for integration into Android based Operating systems and which has been adopted in LineageOS, GrapheneOS, and others.

SeedVault, an encrypted backup and restoration solution for Android-based operating systems that has been used by LineageOS, GrapheneOS, and others, was also developed by CalyxOS.

By default, the operating system strives to maintain the Android security model, taking full advantage of Android's Verified Boot system of cryptographic signature and running with a closed boot loader. Apple has recently been in the news for spying on it's users, installing CalyxOS will help you reclaim some privacy in the digital world.

thank you for this. just installed on pixel 6.

Can you do this on a Windows machine or have to use Linux?

Any idea why I would get an error at the end of flashing that reads: getvar: version-bootloader FAILED (write to device failed (protocol error))?

There’s more fails after that, but basically it reads fastboot requirements not met.

I have Google authenticator app. Would this erase the app?
