Which of these smartphone OSes do you think is more secure currently? For whatever definition of "secure" feels right to you.
Some options have multiple variants, please vote based on the most secure variant you know of.

@openmobile graphene has had leadership issues, I agree. I believe that the person in question has stepped back from leadership. Regardless, it was more down to hardware for me (I was strongly considering getting a pixel 9a also), but I was leaning towards fairphone and graphene doesn't support it so that was out. /e/ while their implementation is admirable it was too iOS-like in it's look. #iodeos is french so as I am Irish I could #buyEU but in #foss it shouldn't matter and #calyxos is a (...)
@openmobile as someone who has recently ordered (awaiting delivery) of a #FairPhone5 what made you choose #IodeOS vs #calyxos ? I ask as I am considering both for my new phone

Update:
Habe jetzt die Anrufe-App von #Fossify geladen, da funktioniert das so wie es soll. Bisschen schade, dass das bei CalyxOS nicht angezeigt wird. Mal gucken, wie gut sich die Fossify App schlägt, laut GitHub Seite soll es ja noch einige Bugs geben. Hoffe nicht, dass die bei mir in Erscheinung treten.
Moin.
Wer von euch hat denn CalyxOS Android und kann mir sagen, wie ich die Info für die Anruferliste von relativer Zeitangabe (also z. B. vor 3 Stunden) auf absolute Zeitangabe (also z. B. 6:39 Uhr) umstellen kann?
Mich macht das ganz kirre, wenn ich sehe, dass ich einen Anruf verpasst habe, aber nicht die Uhrzeit sehen kann.
Wo kann ich das einstellen?
Ich hab schon einiges abgesucht, finde aber nix. 
Heute erreichte mich das SHIFTphone 8 von @shiftphones, für das ich vor mehr als zwei Jahren beim Crowdfunding mitgemacht habe. Nach einem kurzen Funktionstest erstmal CalyxOS installiert...

@heiseonline Und was ist, wenn man das nicht will? Ich bleibe bei #CalyxOS. Ich entscheide was auf meinem Smartphone läuft und nicht Google.
Moin! :-D ..... Von CalyxOS auf Fairphone5!
Bin grade dabei, alle benötigten Apps runterzuladen und einzurichten. Tusky ist jetzt auch da.
Wie es uns gestern bei der Installation von CalyxOS ergangen ist, schreibe ich später/heute abend in nem ausführlichen Thread (Spoiler: es war etwas tricky).
Aber ja, die ersten Schritte mit dem OS fühlen sich erstmal gut an.

#CalyxOS, whatever the latest version is.
I think the proper quick toggles were removed from Android around version 12 (so 3-4 years ago?)
Now they are big, space-wasting buttons, and you don't even have wifi and bluetooth toggles anymore.
Luckily, CalyxOS has restored the proper wifi toggle, but the bluetooth button still requires an extra tap to turn bluetooth on/off.
It's a dark pattern from Google to make sure you leave wifi and bluetooth on at all times for whatever kind of scanning/wardriving system they have going on.

It’s unfortunate that @calyxos cannot replicate this feature, it would be awesome!

To Murena Fairphone users, did you know? 🤔
You can easily enable the Fairphone camera on your /e/OS launcher! 📷
Go to: Settings->Apps->Fairphone Camera + restart
And enjoy a better camera experience and picture quality! 🖼️

#Google funds this #EU think tank to put out policy papers saying #DigitalMarketsAct will break their lovely #PlayProtect scare screens, making us all less safe and "it require[s] Google to allow developers to insert links inside their Play Store apps".

As I've always said in relation to the #DMA, let @fdroidorg compete on trustworthiness. I'd love to see this think thank include analysis malware rates of #CalyxOS with #FDroid and compare that to #GooglePlay #security

Heliboard was a fork of another FOSS keyboard (OpenBoard, I think) which seems to be a fork of the Lineage fork of the AOSP keyboard.
The only thing this AOSP keyboard (on #CalyxOS) is missing vs. heliboard from what i can tell is the T9 switch for the nunpad, and the option to use the google proprietary glide typing library.
#TIL the stock #AOSP / #LineageOS / #CalyxOS keyboard actually has an #emoji mode!
Its in settings (long press the comma!)

@1br0wn Yes indeed, it would be great to have a community controlled version of #AOSP. The hard part is that Google still is the largest contributor to Android by a large margin. The ROM projects have started to work together, but not enough to get community control. The #CalyxOS team has put quite a bit of effort into trying to get this idea going. The key would be to get companies to switch to a community-controlled version, e.g. Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei, Oppo, etc.

@arstechnica - the Pixel line's most appealing feature is certainly not surveillance tech like Gemini, but rather that you can flash a variety of privacy respecting Android ROMs over what Google ships.

I'm glad that I have a Google Pixel 8a and not a older model. There have been many reports of Google Pixels exploding! It's horrendous. I would strongly recommend against buying anything older than the Pixel 8 series.
Disclaimer: I'm not a expert and haven't deeply researched this topic, but I considered it important enough to give everyone a warning.

I don't remember it being as annoying on #iPhone, TBH. The phone call would always be at the very top of the notification shade (IIRC), and would be highlighted green or something.
At least on the #Android build I'm on, the phone call is either tiny, or just not listed in the notification shade at all. When you're on the lockscreen, you must get out of the notification shade to answer the phone.
When your phone is unlocked, you have to use the notification shade to get to the call (and it's not prominent!!), because opening the phone app JUST OPENS THE PHONE APP, and doesn't take you to your call at all.
It might just be an #AOSP thing or possibly just a #CalyxOS thing, I don't know.
I'll have to test it now, I'm curious.
