Bootloader of Nothing Phones can be unlocked and then re-locked. Would CalyxOS run on these? Specs at URL below

I don't know enough to tell from these specs, can anyone tell if Calyx will install on these?
Pixel 4a5G and 5 series - Android 15 landed
The upgrade dropped last night for me. Never thought I would see android 15 on my old 4a5G. Runs smooth, not need to buy a new phone yet.
Does Anyone Else Have This?
The animated clock app icon is exactly 2 minutes behind the actual time.
Are we safe about last Google update for Pixel 4A ?
Hello ! Google is deploying an update on pixel 4a which can have a huge, and bad, effect on battery : https://www.androidpolice.com/surprise-google-pixel-4a-update-might-lead-to-battery-replacement/
I have 2 pixel 4a, 1 with calyxos and 1 on android stock. My android stock got the update, and I got a warning pop-up and issue with my battery since the update.
Does calyx will deploy this ? I hope no :)
Do you know if I can correct my issue by installing calyxos instead of updated android stock ?
Thanks ! (And sorry for my English).
Can I load a grapheneOS backup on CalyxOS?
So, the grapheneOS project uses the CalyxOS backup tool, so far so good. Can I backup my GrapheneOS data via that backup tool, flash CalyxOS on my phone, and load the backup from there? Is there any other way of preserving as much of my data as possible?
issues with hotspots on verizon
of course, on stock android with gms, verizon hotspot does not work at all (says to purchase it and blocks you)
on calyx it used to work fine and i would get around their throttling using powertunnel (a tool that obfuscates traffic)
recently i have had issues though:
another thing is i have noticed some other blockings:
What is your feedback about using Google Camera and Signal on CalyxOS
Hello, I'm a new user of CalyxOS and wanted your opinion about Google Camera and Signal.
I'm afraid of battery draining with Signal so I installed MigroG.
For google camera, I don't want to use google photo. So I can't directly open photos taken with Gcam with my gallery app. I installed Gcam photo preview but it's not really good IMO (I can't edit/share/delete).
Before calyx, I used Gcam-Services-Provider (without micoG), works like a charm !
So I wanted to know, do you have draining battery without microg ? Do you find a way to open photo with another app without google photo ?
thanks !
pixel camera services
why is pixel camera services in my updates list? i don't use the google camera
"missing" options for user profiles?
As a happy user of calyx for over two years I am in the process of setting up one for my child as well.
While I was researching my options for admistrating a childs phone as a parent, I came across this graphene video, where it is shown how to set up user profiles (a feature I wasn't even aware of).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPXu-XKxBT4
He said the feature is actually part of upstream AOSP as well, so I was looking for it in calyx.
Nope, just one option to disable calls and sms and none of the other useful features, like disallowing to install app and so on.
Are those options features from graphene, or aren't they just not (yet) ported from aosp to calyx?
Thanks!
Bummed about lack of activity
I'm bummed about the lack of update activity on this channel. I'm super happy with the os, though. Who is the mod? Maybe s/he can add a bot to repost from reddit?
CalyxOS on FP4
Hello fellow friends, I have a FP4 currently running on /e/os, but in the mean time since installing, there where some pretty annoying design decisions and bugs.
Can anyone describe their experience with calyxOs?(Optionally on the FP4)
Are you happy or do you have some points of criticism?
second install
4a5g died. Installed again on a 7. Once again super easy install. Thank you for that. I'm donating Friday when paid.
Change gesture to answer phone call
Hey! How do I change the gesture needed to answer a phone call. Right now I do it by swiping upwards, but this results in me answering the phone any time I pull the phone out of my pocket to see who is calling, which is of course very unfortunate if I don't actually want to talk to them.
