Lock Screen bypass
- This update includes Google’s fix for the reported Lock Screen Bypass
- It was not an encryption bypass and you still have to enter your PIN after rebooting.
- Patches like this are why it’s important to provide some updates to devices when the vendor stops.
- Google did not provide the November update for the Pixel 4. While they may provide one more update, it’s not available now
- The Pixels 3 and 3a have stopped getting updates from Google completed, so they remain unpatched. We cannot update the proprietary components, but at least we can provide patches for issues like this.
Note
- Over-the-air Updates: CalyxOS updates are delivered over-the-air (OTA) automatically, without any manual intervention needed. However, if you'd like to manually update your CalyxOS install, see OTA.
- Security Updates: The Pixel 8a, 8 Pro, 8, Fold, Tablet, 7a, 7 Pro, 7, 6a, 6 Pro, 6 contain the full security patch, as they are still being updated by Google.
- Security Updates: The Fairphone 4, 5, Motorola moto g32, moto g42, moto g52 stock OS follows a different security update release schedule, which usually lags behind by a month or two compared to Pixels. The CalyxOS releases for it only contain the latest fixes to the open source components, such as the OS code and the Linux kernel. Proprietary components such as the bootloader, modem firmware, and other firmware get updates as soon as the stock OS update is available.
- End-of-life: The Pixel 5a (5G), 4a (5G), 5, 4a, 4 XL, 4 are no longer being updated by the manufacturer, so the CalyxOS releases for these devices only contain the fixes to the open source components, such as the OS code and the Linux kernel. Proprietary components such as the bootloader, modem firmware, and other firmware no longer get updates.
