Android 14, December 2024 Security update
- CalyxOS 5.14.0 - Android 14 for FP5, FP4, Moto G52, G42, G32, Pixel 4 - 5a
- Will determine Android 15 status for the above devices after the Android 15 QPR1 release
- Still waiting for Google to release the Android 15 update for Pixel 6 - 9
Pixel 6 - 9a
- We’re still waiting for Google to release their Android 15 update for these devices, which will contain the update to all the device-specific bits that we use.
- As soon as that’s released, we’ll integrate it and release CalyxOS 6.2.0
- Till then, we figured might as well get the Android 14 update out of the way, while we wait for Google :)
Android 15 for FP5, FP4, Moto G52, G42, G32, Pixel 4 - 5a
- During Android 14, we had 3 major quarterly updates - December, March and June.
- Each of those brought major changes, which affected functionality on all devices apart from the Pixels Google still supported at the time.
- Thus, for Android 15, we’ve decided to at least wait for the December Quarterly update before deciding how the Android 15 rollout for these devices should be handled
- We’ll post an update once we know more.

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 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- End-of-life: The Pixel 5a (5G), 4a (5G), 5, 4a, 4 XL, 4 are no longer being updated by the manufacturer, so the CalyxOS releases for these devices only contain the fixes to the open source components, such as the OS code and the Linux kernel.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.
