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(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.
