CalyxOS 4.1 - Android 13 has been available for testing and then later beta (for some devices) since September 15

Current status

General

• All features from Android 12 have been ported, and are mostly work well
• There are some UI bugs as the Launcher All apps page, but otherwise it’s all there

Next steps

• We hope to release it as stable soon as possible for most devices.
• For the devices having issues, we’re working on figuring out fixes for them, and will make new builds available for those ASAP.

Device Specific

Pixel 6a - 4.1.6

• Testing, given that the fingerprint reader is broken on upgrades. Fresh installs are fine, and thus factory images are available.

Pixel 6, 6 Pro - 4.1.6

• Beta, everything is fine for the most part
• There’s a UWB crashing on the Pixel 6 Pro under investigation

Pixel 5, 4a (5G), 5a - 4.1.6

• Beta, everything is fine for the most part

Pixel 4a - 4.1.8

• Beta, everything is fine for the most part

Pixel 4, 4 XL - 4.1.6

• Beta, everything is fine for the most part

Pixel 3, 3 XL, 3a, 3a XL - 4.1.3

• Testing, LTE is broken, fine otherwise.

FP4 - 4.1.7

• Testing, everything is fine for the most part
• Some users are unable to boot the device after upgrading to 13. In that case it just falls back to Android 12 with your data kept intact. Investigating, but it’s a bit hard to debug since it doesn’t happen for everyone, only some.
