Calyx Os supports the FP4 and announced support for the FP5

That just to be said.

I have e os on FP4 and I would describe my experience as follows: Do you want to switch from IOS to Android without loosing the style of the launcher and gain some privacy? Go for it

If you want an Android that does a lot for you and give you tools like a vpn, a tracker blocker ect… Go for it

If you want to customize your experience (e.g. have an “normal” Android launcher, switch accent colors …) ? You get a very rocky experience to say the best.

And at least for the FP4, some stock apps like the Cam were just not working, but to be fair it seemed like that was a suppychain problem…

I consider changing to calyx Os, expecting to get a more customizable Android.

Had to check real quick: Yes in the current Version of the stock cam it does recognise all cameras and even takes snappy pictures. That was the problem before but it seems to be patched.

Anyways due to this problem i switched to gcam

I think that should work, due to DivestOS being a fork of LinageOS just like eOS, and in fact the camera of eOS is just the cam of LinageOS (thats what i meant with supplychain problem). So i assume that DivestOS might just have the same camera app as eOS

But you could probably confirm that by looking into the repos

Yeaa but the open tool being sold for profit they are not my go to apps anymore…

But I still need to switch my calendar to the newly made fork
