- CalyxOS 5.10.1 for Pixel 4a (5G) and newer Pixels
- CalyxOS 5.10.3 for all other devices
Explanation
- CalyxOS 5.10.0 was released to Security express on 7 August, Wednesday, 1 day after Google released the update.
- It had a bug, wherein SIM cards would not get detected.
- We released a bugfix update for that the next day, 8 August, Thursday.
- However, we noticed a bug with that as well. Chromium would crash for certain users.
- This was found and diagnosed by someone on our matrix development channel.
- Due to that, we didn’t roll out the update to other channels.
- The team was also travelling and recovering from travel at that time, further adding to the delay.
- The chromium bug has since been fixed, and thus we’re releasing the update (5.10.1) more broadly now.

Over-the-air(OTA) Updates:
Starting from CalyxOS 7.2.2.0, CalyxOS updates resume automatically over the air. No manual install of updates needed. However, if you would like to manually update your CalyxOS device, see our OTA installation instructions.

Security Updates for Pixel devices:
The Pixel 9a, 9 Pro Fold, 9 Pro XL, 9 Pro, 9, 8a, 8 Pro, 8, Fold, Tablet, 7a, 7 Pro, 7, 6a, 6 Pro, and 6 stock OSes follow a monthly release schedule in direct alignment with the AOSP security bulletin. However, Google has stopped publishing the source code for AOSP QPR1 and QPR3 releases. As a result, CalyxOS is not able to timely include updates of the proprietary components, such as the bootloader, modem, and vendor firmware, for versions based on those specific QPR branches. The CalyxOS releases for the above models only contain the latest fixes to the open-source components, such as the operating system and the Linux kernel. Proprietary components get updates as soon as the corresponding AOSP source code becomes available.
-
Security Updates for non-Pixel devices:
The Fairphone 5, 4, Motorola moto g 5G 2024, moto g84 5G, moto g34 / g45 5G, and SHIFTphone 8 stock OSes follow a different security update release schedule, which is usually behind AOSP updates by a month or two. The CalyxOS releases for these devices only contain the latest fixes to the open-source components. Proprietary components get updates as soon as the stock OS update becomes available.
-
End-of-life:
The Motorola moto g52, moto g42, moto g32, Pixel 5a (5G), 4a (5G), and 5 are no longer being updated by the manufacturer, the CalyxOS updates for these devices only contain the fixes to the open-source components. Proprietary components no longer get updated.
